How do I do a wireless network?
I bought a NetGear Wireless-N Router and didn't realize I also need adapters. Do I need an adapter for both computers I'm networking. If so which adapter(s) would I purchase for two desk top computers. On the Router box the choices are PCI, USB or Express Card adapter.

Yes you need wireless adapters for each system you want to connect to your network.
When choosing your adapter type you need to consider what options you have open. Does your computer have any available PCI slots?
Buying PCI cards would mean you have to open your computer towers and physically install the cards. Are you good at installing new cards? If you're not you could ruin your computer.
If you have someone that can do it for you, or you can install them get the PCI cards, they're probably cheaper and more readily available. If not, and you have usb connections, use usb.

Yes, id go with PCI if you feel comfortable opening your computer case, USB if you dont. Express cards are for laptops.
