That's a whole pile of questions but I'll give it a go.
Quote: Is it possible to a) Hard-wire WiFi modem/router into back of PC then b) install dongle/or PC Adapter in lappy,
Yes it is.
Quote: Which TYPE of modem/router do I need? There are sooo many types/standards, difficult for the absolute beginner to know WHICH one to go for, but I think (after reading a lot online) G+ probably OK? What about N standard? And what is MIMO ?
The most modern 'standard' is Wireless N although this has not yet been fully ratified by the industry. Most manufacturers are producing what they call pre-N routers with the promise that if the standard changes they will issue firmware updates for their routers. G+ is probably OK and MIMO means Multi In Multi Out. Both will work but N is better in terms of speed and distance covered.
Quote: D] Next question is - What's the best manufacturer?
I could find you 10 people who swear by Netgear and another 10 who say it's rubbish. The same thing applies to most of the others as well. I tend to use an on line retailer like eBuyer where people who have bought the equipment can post their comments about it.
Here's a link to a package with both router and dongle for your laptop that seems to have reasonable reviews.

Do you know that we're all in line for succession to the throne? Really?
Well, if forty-eight million, two hundred thousand, seven hundred and one people died I'd be Queen.
