You will need a wireless router that also has a wired port for your current PC, and a wireless NIC for the laptop. I would recommend Linksys. Make sure that your cable modem has ethernet connection if you are presently using USB. If you are currently using USB, the best method would also call for you to add a NIC to your desktop and that would require you to also have a short straight thru CAT5 cable to hook your desktop to router.
