switch to wireless


I want to get wireless but I also want to keep my debianbox firewall/router, which have two boxes connected to it. What hardware do I need to buy and how will my network look like? bacically, all I want to do is to switch the cable to radiowaves so nothing will change.

Is there a reason you want to switch to wireless when wired seems to work for you? I *ONLY* use wireless on laptops, and even then ONLY in rooms that don't already have Ethernet connections. I do this because wired connections are more secure and more reliable. In any case, I'm sure you have considered these things. You will need to get a wireless adaptor for each computer except your router. For your router, get a wireless access point and connect it via a cross-over cable to your current internal connection.
