Connecting 4 computers to internet ..?

Hi,

How do I connect 4 home computers to internet wirelessly (preferably to cable Internet)? What all hardware do I need? Do I necessarily need a wireless router? What would be the total speed?

I heard that all the speed provided by say Comcast may not be available to me, as wireless router works at a slower rate than that..Is it correct?

Thanks

Just pick up a wireless router it will also have 4 wired ports you can use for PC's that lack a wireless adapter. Don't worry about the speed. Your download speed from comcast is slower than the connection speed between the PC and the wireless router. The connection to the internet is the bottleneck. But unless all four PC's are doing huge downloads at the same time you will never notice it. We routinely connect offices with 20 and 30 people to links of that speed.

Comcast will give you a wire/wireless modem/router. All of your computers will be required a wireless card or adapter. Those adapter are pretty inexpensive now. Most of the laptop equipped with wireless card. Each computer can run the network setup program, detects the router signal and all of the four can be connecting at the same time. With higher speed with Comcast, the network ISP can handle four users at a little bit slower speed.
You would need a wireless router and all 4 computers would need wireless cards, which could get expensive. You could get a router and hook each computer up to it using ethernet cables, which could get messy, and still a little expensive.

correction: 3 computers would need wireless cards, the 1st one would be wired to the router with the ethernet cable.
Comcast can provide a wireless router. most laptops already have a wireless card already. And desktops computers will need a wireless card or adapter. Comcast, RoadRunner, etc transmit and recieve MUCH faster than your wireless speed and can easily handle all four users at the same time.
