Thank you both for your responses. I'll purchase a wireless router.

The cable modem is currently connected to a desktop computer. I assume that I need to disconnect the desktop from the modem. And then connect the modem to the router, and then connect the router to the desktop with a line (it's not wireless). My wireless laptop is in the next room and should be able to pick up the signal from the wireless router - so no line is necessary. Does this sound about right? Thanks for your help.
