The basic answer is yes.

I do not quite know what you mean by 'hook' but I assume you mean wired. The way to do this is to have an ethanet cable, plug it into the laptop and then into the router, so the laptop and router are connected to each other. You then get internet or whatever the router is for, for your laptop as well.

Contact me on my discussion page if that is not what you mean.

Firstly you need a wireless card within your laptop (most laptops come with them now days), Next go to control panel, click on network and internet, next go to networking and sharing center. There should be a map of the network and a few hyper links, one of the hyperlinks says connect to network. You will need to know the name of your wireless network and password before connecting to it as you may pick up some of your neighbors wireless networks

Can you hook up to the internet with a stand alone computer?

Yes you can. If you have a DSL or Cable broadband internet you just need to hook the modem's ethernet cable to the computer and your set to go. (of course after you configure everything) If you don't have a ethernet port and just a wireless laptop then you will need either a wireless modem or a wireless Router. The Modem just hooks to the router then the router connects to all your networkable devices. I would vote for the wireless router as once you get a smartphone, iPad, WiFi Blueray player, WiFi HDTV, X-Box, etc, you will already be set up to hook them all up. Most wireless Routers usually have 4 ethernet ports as part of it also.
