A "router" is the device that actually shares the intenet connection via wires or wireless. The "wireless adapter" is the device on the receiving end which you plug into your notebook or desktop via PCMCIA, USB, or PCI card.

Do you have a Verizon wireless broadband card or just Verizon as an ISP?

If you just want a notebook with a integrated WiFi card the Acer Travelmate 2423WXCi computers are really cheap. $400 after a $100 rebate through Tigerdirect. The rebate is a pain but the machine is decent. It could use more memory which I did but a well stocked machine for a total of $500 is hard to beat!
