You're looking for a Netgear or Linksys wireless router that also has
a 4-port switch. That way you can connect your desktop via the switch
(wired) and any laptops wireless. Your laptop should already be able
to handle wireless interface it it's any good - if not, you may have
to buy a wireless adapter for it so it can talk to the router - also
look for Netgear or Linksys for the adapter.
Either way, all you then have to do is unplug the Ethernet cable from
the cable modem and plug it into the router (you'll also need a second
ethernet cable from the router to the modem). Hopefully you aren't
using a USB connection to the modem - if so, I'd switch to Ethernet.
