    1 - If you're router acts as an Access Point then you won't need one of these. If it doesn't you will need to get a access point and Allow all devices to connect to this.
    All computers will need a wireless adaptor, card or USB dongle.
    You can use DHCP for IP distribution or use static IP addresses.

    2 - Well they can both surf internet no prob, you probbaly won't notice any decrease in performance.

    3 - Should be ok for gaming, I do gaming on 802.11b (11mbit) and works a charm. This is 2 mile distance. You will more than likly be on G (54mbit) so you will have no problem there provided all computers have a good signal.
