WIRELESS NETWORKING HELP NEEDED

New to networking, and I'm confused as to what I need. I want to wireless with 3 systems. I know I need 3 wireless NIC's, but I'm confused as to whether I need a gateway, router, access point, etc. Brand doesn't matter so much, just something easy to setup. Also, 2 of the PC's will probably NOT have USB capability (older systems for the kids). I'm using roadrunner and the main thing is to share internet access. No need to share files, printer, etc. Thanks for any help.

Can I use this along with three of these and accomplish what I want to do? Or do I need something different?

I would go with a wireless router with an integrated access point. Nexland Wavebase is amzinb but may be out of your league price wise. And then a wireless station adapter in each PC that you want wireless. If you get a wireless router the modem plugs in to it, and you can even wire one of the PCs if you want it wired instead of wireless.

This is what I have and and VERY satisfied with the performance, Connect @ 22 Mbps and roam all over the hose and backyard with my laptop.
