    What equipment would I need to network 2 wired desktops, vonage phone (acts like a wired puter) and 3 wireless laptops?
    Any suggestions?

    One of These or something similar.

    Oh, and wireless network cards in the laptops if you don't already have them.

    The feature for connecting the whole network to a broadband internet connection is there but you don't have to use it.

    What you are showing me is only a 4 port. I'll need 6. (and I will be connecting it all to broadband)

    You need 3 wired ports from what you posted and there are 3 for sure and possibly 4. I haven't studied the specs and some devices will allow either a broadband modem + 3 PCs or 4 PCs and say they are 4-port while others offer 4 PC ports and a broadband port.

    The wireless part will deal with multiple wireless devices at the same time.

    Or if this particular one somehow doesn't, similar devices at similar prices will. A google search for wireless access points will give you lots of choices to look at.
