    You can pick up a wifi router from $20 and up on sale and then $20 - $50 for the card for each machine. Once you have those, there are no monthly costs for using them - you're already paying for the internet connection.

    If you just add a wireless router, which is like $50 if you shop around, then you would have wi-fi in your house.

    Of course, your computers will need a wireless adapter (about $20-40) each to access the Wi-fi network.

    And since the network is YOURS, there would be no monthly fee!

    If you already have broadband internet in your house then all you would need is a wireless router (~$60) and a wireless modem (~$30) for each computer. Many newer computers have wireless modems as standard equipment. That is about all it takes.
