Will my router change to wireless
I currently have a bt voyager 220v ADSL voice router on my home PC.
I was thinking about buying a wireless g router so I can get internet through my laptop.
Will it work this way?

You need to check with your provider. It may be that you can't replace your router because it's a combined modem and router. If that's the case, you can either ADD a wireless access point (WAP) or get a wireless router and ADD it to your system and just use the WAP capabilites.

As you are in the UK you need to get a modem router that does wireless.
This is quite straightforward and PCWorld have a number.
BT do support any model that you buy, so there's no problem there.

I think its just a router?
How do you add a (WAP) I also have a wireless dongle which I'm told I need for the wireless router. Would the wireless g router have a wire which slots into a usb point at all?

Well I found a wireless g router online for about £30.00 and I already have a dongle. But I just wasn't sure how to set it up and if it would work

Psssst there's a load here that will work: PC_World - ADSL Routers
In my opinion the supplied BT modem is crud, you'd be best off replacing it anyway.

I think you need a specific router that combines the modem.
To add a WAP means just connecting the WAP to a LAN port of your existing router.
