I have a Wii and 360 that I'd like to go online with. I currently have a broadband internet that is connected via a modem wired into the phone line.

What hardware will I need to go wireless for PC, Wii and 360?

You'll need a router that's wireless capable. The Wii is wireless anyway so that won't be a problem. To make the 360 wireless, you'll need to buy Microsoft's Wireless Adaptor that's around the �50 mark, and if your PC is not wireless compatible, then you'll need a wireless dongle for that at around �20.

If you want to save a few quid, then I'd suggest changing your ISP. The new one will happily chuck you a free wireless router, this just hooks up to your phone line in the same way as your modem and then you can either connect things with cables to the router or run everything wirelessly. If you don't want to change your ISP, then try ringing them and tell them you want to leave as XYZ ISP will give you a free wireless router if you join them and you really need to go wireless - they may well give you one for free to keep you.
Where is the modem located, is it next to the computer and connected to the pc, if it is then you dont need to make the wireless as you can connect the pc to the router, you would need the microsoft xbox 360 wireless adapter to make the 360 wireless, as cakeboyt says see if your isp would send a free router if you threaten to leave or just ask, i asked my isp if they would send 1 and they did with no mention of me leaving but then im not at the end of the contract
If your Xbox have a spare USB you can connect a Wifi on it, without configuration needed, But well if not, you need to have a router and configure it using a PC and activate the DHCP and WEP and then Enable Encryption, password and ID.
