Thanks for the advice. Stage 1 complete (almost). Picked up a wireless router and a couple of cards for my PCs on the way home from work and set up the router.

The good news? It works. The bad news? I'm locked out of the routers. I carefully wrote out my Uber-Super-Secret password, put it in my password safe, changed it in the router, logged out and bzzzt!! Try again. Sigh, I hate computers.

How the hell can you mis-type a password the same way twice???

Found an Acer netbook in my price range with a wireless N card. Once I get back in to the router and set it up again (maybe I'll do the password thing FIRST) and connect the Wii and PS3, I'll revisit netbooks.
