For your issue, you need to add a wireless router to your network. Please read the many guides posted in the Broadband How to section.

IF
C2110 is on rent
Try to exchange it for an adsl2modem+router + wifi from BSNL.
Cost Rs 1600/= plus taxes or on rent Rs 50/PM.

ELSE

Try Netgear WGR614 for about Rs 1500 to Rs 2000/=
You can connect 4 computers in LAN ( RJ45 cables )
or any number of laptops/desktops in wifi mode
within range. ( say -30 to 50 feet radius ).(*conditions apply)

THEN

Go TO

or

setting up a wireless link. Screen shots included.

try exchanging with bsnl as suggested earlier..

Talk with your local exchange. With BSNL you do not have much choice. You will have to use the modem available. Request them to replace the current modem with one supporting wifi. BSNL has the cheapest price for wifi routers ( Rs. 1600 +tax). In open market, it is at least Rs. 1000 extra.
