Going wireless questions

[Archangel]

O.K., here's the deal. Turns out that my employer is giving everyone laptops to take home and use. Of course, I'd like to be able to access the workplace server, as well as check my own internet stuff. I'd like to know three things: (1)What items do I need at home to go wireless and check the net; (2)How much would this stuff cost me?: (3)At what ballpark-figure prices should I perhaps start to walk to the door when I go to buy the equipment?

What's your home internet connection? Do the laptops have integrated wireless? If you have cable and the laptops already have wireless it shouldn't cost you more than 60 or 70 bucks for a decent solution. Here's a pretty decent wireless router for you that is easily configured as an access point if you're just adding it an existing network. It's got a $20 dollar rebate going, too, so it should be $40 shipped in the end.
