    i'm just about to buy a laptop and change broadband providers to BT

    what i have is two desktop pcs which i'd like to both be able to access the Internet and also the files on each others hard drives. These can be connected by wires as i presume that'd be faster.

    also have a printer which will be wireed by usb to one of the desktops, would like that to be available to all computers

    i also want the laptop to be able to connect to the Internet and if it's easy, to access the files on the two desktop pcs

    what would be the best things to buy and way to wire it all up

    not sure what the differences between all the routers/modems/switches are. what's the best thing to buy to do all this securely

    cheers

    Wireless router is what you need. This will allow you to network the pcs/printer/laptop and allow them to access the internet.

    Assuming you're getting a wireless router/modem from BT this is all you will need.
