Wireless Router or PCI Card

I have a well established wired nework sharing a single analog 56K
dialup connection, using a host PC and an unmanaged 8-way switch.
(mixture of various flavours of Windows)

I am *not* using ICS on the host (XP) but am using Kerio WinRoute.

If I want to add wireless connectivity, do i need a wireless router,
or can I just put a PCI wireless card in the host and use the PC
as the router?

Is there any benefit in terms of broadcast power in using a
wireless router, or is the RF output of a PCI card the same.
(would consider a higher gain extension antenna).

Thanks for any help / ideas.

Alister.
