You will need a router + ADSL, if u dont own a modem, otherwise connect the telephone cable into modem and ethernet cable from modem to router, and u r good to go.

just purchase a usb wifi and use mhotspot to configure your broadband/wireless connection to distribute WIFI signals

i am using the s/w since 14~15 months with my BSNL EVDO
