A broadband modem, a Wireless Router and a gigabit ethernet switch.
Hook any wired devices to the gigabit ethernet switch, hook the switch and connect all the wireless devices to the router, then hook the router to the modem.
You will need to find a Broadband company for your internet, Cable TV company for cable internet or a Phone company for a DSL connection.
You will need a Wireless Router (most also combine 3 or 4 ethernet ports) and possibly an 8 or 16 port GigabitEthernet Switch if you have more then a few wired devices. You have to know the fastest speed the computers and devices are capable of to get the most speed you can. At least have the router an "N" rated speed so when the computers get updated any slower rated ones will have the updated higher N speed cards. Your network will slow down to the slower device speed every time it connects to the network then go to the fastest speed of the next device that connects.
Simultaneous dual band router would be the best, it would keep the slower devices on one band and the faster devices on the other so they don't slow down the network.
Printers only access the network for a few seconds at a time so the speed isn't as big problem for them.
