been out of the loop for a while,moved to a no cable area and just got verizon wireless usb broadband.i want to try to completely wireless the house or just some of it. I know i cant just plug the usb into a router so I need some help on which computer to start the network with. I have a dell laptop with 802.11n built in running vista.I have a desktop with xp,my son has a old dell with a netgear rangemax wpn511 pc card and we want to try to run the xbox live as well.Soooooo do i make a network of some sort from my desktop plugging the verizon usb into it and going from desktop to a router??? Should i run a cable to the xbox because i hear the wireless isnt as fast knowing lagg is going to be a issue allready? Money no object routing info please.I can and will replace cards ect... to make this as efficient as possible.I need a shopping list of some sort because i dont trust many of the sales people out there,i know all of them arent crooked but some are so Please help and i thank in advance

The Verizon EVDO broadband? There are some wireless routers which do support using EVDO cards.....Linksys makes some, Kyocera, others I'm sure. Performance under heavier loads is a toss-up though.
