Yes, all you need is a wireless adsl router - this will take care of
everything for you.
All your computers will then connect to the router wirelessly with a
wireless card.
You say 'the' broadband router - if you already had one it would have not
connected to the pc (or at least if it was connect with a Cat5 Ethernet
patch cable, the other computers would still have net access with it off).
An ADSL Wireless router is very different from an ADSL Modem. If you have a
wireless access point (not adsl router) then you can buy a wired adsl router
and use the exisitng wireless access point.
