i currently have a standard ADSL+2 wired modem which i am connecting to my laptop. i am looking into buying a wireless modem, however i heard that the ethernet cable needs to be plugged into another PC,at all times in order for it to work
Im just wondering if this is true, or if i just need another PC to configure the settings, then once this is done, unplug ethernet and modem will work fine without being plugged into another computer?
thanks...

Once the wi-fi modem/router is configured it does _not_ require an ethernet cable to be plugged in at all times.
You can connect all wi-fi hosts if you really wish.
PS. Dynalink RTA1025W is a great wifi modem/router available from www.cormain.com.au for $100 plus shipping ($10).. I have no affiliation with them however both myself and the red krawler have one and they are fantastic.
