Sharing a DSL connection

[hurtstotalktoyou]

Hey, all. My parents are thinking of getting DSL, but they won't know how to share it. If I'm not able to do something, they'll probably end up getting ripped off by Best Buy or CompUSA salespersons. The problem is, of course, that I've never even seen a wireless router, and I really have no idea how they work.

This is the router I'm looking at. Now, does that connect to one PC via the standard LAN port--that is, a wired connection--and only the other via antenna? I would also need a wireless adapter, right? How's this one look? I'd also need an extra ethernet cable, right? I've got that, already.

If I buy those two items and make sure I have an extra ethernet cable, will that be enough to share a DSL connection? Or do I need another wireless adapter?

Thanks in advance!

I am not going to tell you what to buy.
Network Hardware is not a PSU or Video Card (it is a little more complicated), if you do not have a basic understanding of Networking you would not be able to decide what you need.

The pages below were written a while ago. Ignore the prices and the Hardware recommendations, stick to the principles.[/i]

The whole thing should look like this.
