You could get what you have, if you use ADSL. You will need some kind of wireless router (The router you were looking at was an ADSL modem and wireless router, you could also get a wireless router and have a cable going from your ADSL modem to the router.) and then, for the laptop and the pc you can use one of the USB wireless adapters that you linked to, or you can use a wireless PCI card for the PC and a wireless PCMCIA card for the laptop.

you have to buy both router and usb network ethernet.

Example:
Your PC [with USB wireless ethernet] ------>Wireess router with internet connection.

yes you basicly have the idea lee101 but I'd recommend maybe buy and internal ethernet card rather then the usb for your desktop and get one usb for your laptop .
