An access point is what you add to your router.
In your case, a WIFI Router combo you see all over will do.

Hi, I have a DSL internet connection at home which uses PPPoe for access. I have a Centrino notebook which supports both G and B versions of 802.11 protocol. I would now like to connect to the internet connection wirelessly throughout my home. Will buying a good wireless router solve the problem or should I just buy an access point. I may add 1 or 2 more computers at home later on. Please help.
