If you’re going to have the whole lot of them on wireless connections and don’t want to have any PC’s connected via cable then yeah you could take the ad hoc way. But if you want to expand later using both wireless and wired network connections then you should probably buy the access point (not a wireless router, your dial up server is will be doing the "routing").

If you went the access point way, you’d have a cross over cable from the dial up server into the access point and then all wireless devices connect to that and then to the dial up server. Then as I said before if you wanted to add wired devices you could then buy a switch and connect that up and still have the wireless devices on the network without having to do all the joys of bridging networks if you went ad hoc.
