My house and i are thinking of going wireless.

My landlord says that he will buy the router as long as we buy our own cards, doent seem bad to me.

We have three laptops and two desktops and all will want connection.

Im a bit of a wireless newbie and im trying to see how it would work.

So

Do we just need a wireless network card for each computer and also the router.

Also is it easy to configure five computers to have wireless connection?

Is there anything else that i need to consider before we make the switch?

Yes, you'll need a wireless network card for each computer you want part of a wireless network. I would go for a wireless access point router and configure each computer in Infrastructure mode.
