What you describe is quite common and there are a couple of benefits.

First of all, if you use a wifi "broadband" router between the DSL modem and your computer, routers have a hardware firewall, which, if turned on, basically makes your Internet connection invisible to hackers going through random IP addresses looking for open ports.

Most of these routers are almost self-installing. You run the CD and it usually sets everything up for you. copyright ybarra-cgm
As part of the set up, it will ask you if you want to password protect your wifi. You can choose WPA or WEP. WPA is stronger and harder to crack, but some XP laptops may not be able to handle this form of encryption. If it doesn't then use WEP.

If you want to make your wifi connection invisible, that's in the settings too. You can choose not to broadcast your SSID, and most casual wifi users won't be able to see your signal.
Wifi has a maximum range of about 300 feet. I've found in my 1100-square foot ranch where I'm no further than 40 feet from the router, I get excellent coverage.

You can also have other laptops and computers connect via wifi to the router. I think the maximum number is 50. And some of the routers have three or more wired connectors where you can connect as many computers via Ethernet cable to it.
