Can I just replace my router with a wireless one?

Hi, I'm currently using Perlico broadband with a Voyager 210 ADSL Router, since there is now a laptop in another room of the house (with no phoneline) I kinda want to set up a wireless network. Just wondering, can I just swap the router with any wireless router? If so do you have any recommendations for a cheap, reliable one?

Yes:) You could buy a wireless router and connect it to the Voyager 210 or buy an 'all in one' wireless router including adsl modem which is the simpler option and is only slightly dearer than the wireless router alone.

The linksys wag54gs is ok now that they have upgraded the firmware on it and it has a pretty good range too. http://www-ie.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Product_C2&childpagename=IE%2FLayout&cid=1138744840171&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper&lid=4017121035B01

While the netgear DG834g is a reliable recommendation too:

When you get your hands on one it is a matter then of setting it up just as you did the Voyager with your Perlico settings.
