Cheapest option to make my PC (and poss. Printer) Wireless please?

HaylhooHaylhoo

Need to move my Livebox away from my PC so no longer want it wired - what is the cheapest and most effective way of making it Wireless please? Not particularly techy when it comes to computers so don't want to take it apart if at all possible.

Same with the printer - currently connected to PC but would like to be able to print wirelessly from the Laptop - any cheap simple options for that?

Thanks!

    A wireless USB network adapter.

    You should be able to print from the laptop as long as the printer is connected to the PC and the PC is switched on.

    Thanks for your reply.

    Any suggestion where to get the cheapest reliable one please?

    It's only because i'm getting a Sky HD box so want to move the router near that so I can connect to it with a wire (don't want to spend £60 on the dongle), so i'm hoping it's cheaper to make the PC wireless.

    If you want cheap wi-fi try this

    I have a HP305A wireless printer which you can pick up for £30-35

    Hope this helps.

    As above use a USB adaptor about 10-20 quid or so then set up your printer for sharing on your network

    Thank you all - does anyone have any links to something they would recommend?

    The Networking thingy with the printer sounds great, how easy is it to do?
