hmmm,.,,

yes,,, you need a wireless router,, to send the signal to the wireless Network cards that you have installed,

you would connect the USB cable modem to the wireless router,, and then set up your other PC's

remember to add the DNS IP's into your network settings on the remote pc's,, this will help tremendously,,

cheers,

Further,,,

Wireless "b" - standard internet transmitting

Wireless "g" - streaming audio and video support,,

cheers
