I just purchased a Dell Inspiron laptop and would like to use it in wifi mode. I currently have a cable modem and a linksys router that two other PC's are plugged into. What do I need that will connect to the existing router/hub that will provide wifi to my laptop?

Thanks in advance

you could use a WAP (wireless access point) it acts as a bridge between the wired and wireless segments of you Local Area Network. You do not need a router/WAP.
Edit: RV6's are cool. I can fit in them, not too happy in an RV4. Headset wedged into the rear canopy, LOL!
