A wireless router (http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?Manufactory=&PropertyCodeValue=0&PropertyCodeValue=1400%3A10244&PropertyCodeValue=0&PropertyCodeValue=0&PropertyCodeValue=0&PropertyCodeValue=0&PropertyCodeValue=0&description=&MinPrice=&MaxPrice=&SubCategory=145&Submit=Property), and a wireless adaptor (http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?Manufactory=&PropertyCodeValue=0&PropertyCodeValue=0&PropertyCodeValue=1330%3A10139&PropertyCodeValue=0&description=&MinPrice=&MaxPrice=&SubCategory=31&Submit=Property) for each PC.

You may want to use one wired connection and one wireless connectio. Something like:

Modem<--- ethernet/cat5 ---->wireless router
wireless router<----- ethernet/cat5 ----> PC1
wireless router<----- wireless -----> PC2 with wirelss adaptor

This way you don't have to buy 2 wireless adaptors and you have a wired connection to the router and interent which is more reliable than wireless.

However, once the router is setup, you could, if you wanted to, have both PCs connect via wi-fi, but having one wired is always handy.
