    Not strictly a laptop question, but anyway, what you will have to do is buy a wireless router. The connection will be as follows:

    DSL <---> Netopia <---> Wireless router <---> laptop

    That's essentially the setup I have at home. The Netopia has to be configured in bridge mode to pass the data along to the wireless router.

    Just enter your BT username/password in the Netopia, and it should work fine.
