I have a similar situation in my home. I have one PC hooked to a Lynksys wireless Router/Accesspoint with Category 5 cable. The other two are through wireless network cards. There are various speeds of equipment available. I have seen some other brands quite a bit cheaper than Lynksys but mine works well and was easy to setup. Actually with my broadband you have to set up some sort of network if you want more than PC on as they only assign one IP address at a time.
Actually there may be a kit, but I haven't seen a wireless one. Basically what you will need is: The Line coming in, a Modem, the wireless accesspoint and router,and either a network card or wireless network card in each PC. My setup requires that one PC have a regular card at least initially to set everything up.
Good Luck with it and let us know how it turns out.
