Get wifi router or wifi router cum modem from market or directly from your isp and replace your existing Internet modem(if not a wifi enabled). If you are not using net then get a wifi router only.

P.S: Get a 802.11n standard device, if your laptop supports the same.

u can create an adhoc wifi connection between the two laptop's also so that u can avoid router in between.

No ad hoc won't help you if you playing from some distance and it will break. Ad hoc works without any help of router, which only makes your network signal weak. So use it for only emergency, in areas where you can't access to any router device. Im really not getting any idea why you want to use ad hoc when you got a router at you place.-)

new big games require more network bandwidth. better use ethernet cable (RJ45) or u need a high power router.
if both laptops are not far enough then adhoc will also do..
