| If you are not already signed up to a broadband provider - do that first. Call BT or Telewest and check out the deals. Get that organised first as it will take some time to get you connected, and some areas don't have broadband yet.
2nd start learning about wireless connections and the meaning of the designations. You mentioned 11mb which is probably refering to the older wireless standard of 802.11b which has wireless speeds of up to 11mbits/s. There are higher speeds now (802.11g 54mbits/s being one and becoming the standard). Also learn about wireless security and how to implement WEP encryptions (too much here to go over. Just spend a few nights reading other online stuff)
3rd get down to PC world and check out the 4in1 broadband routers (ADSL modem, 4 port hub, firewall & router & wireless connection). You can get a good one for around £100. I recommend Belkin. Get one that's got at least 802.11g compatiility. Some even come with a wireless card.
4th setup your router and your new wireless network at home - just follow the instructions.
5th wait until your broadband connection is available - plug in your router adsl phoneline and away you go - unlimited adsl for all the family.
