You need to buy a "Wireless Router". They sell them at BestBuy and lots of other places. This is hooked up between your cable and computer. There is also some sort of "card" that you have to buy that goes into the laptop (and any other computer within a limited radius that you want to be able to access the internet), unless you know that the laptop already has such a card in it, which it might. If it's a fairly new laptop, it probably does. If you're not sure, find your original purchase invoice (or just get out the specs of the laptop you bought, if you know them or have them written down) and call the company who made the computer, or sold it to you. They can easily tell you. If you buy both parts you're looking at spending a few hundred bucks for the two items.

I have dell laptop which is not blue tooth enabled what components do i need to surf anywhere in my home wirless understanding i dont have a desktop if i get broadband?
First of all, you need to buy your laptop a wireless internet card. any will do.. as long as it's made for laptops.. Once you do that, you need to get a broadband connection.. if the broadband connection you get already comes with a modem wich casts a wireless signal, you're good to go, all you would need to do is install the wireless card in you pc. If your broadband modem does not cast a wireless signal THEN you would need to buy a router wich casts a wireless signal and connect the router to your broadband modem. And that's it
How do you set up wireless broadband Internet access in the home?
When you get broadband cable or dsl you should be set up with a modem connected to your computer with an ethernet cable (similar to a phone cable). To make this wireless you need a wireless router (this connects the modem to the computers) and wireless cards (there are different kinds for desktops or laptops) for each wireless desktop or laptop.
