and share BB access?

Do I need to buy a new router? if so any recommendations?

Thanks

Looks like you need a wireless router like those found here.

This would allow the lappie to connect to your broadband connection wirelessly.

You could then set up a home network which would allow you to share files between both stations and print from the lappie to the printer.
