It depends: Is the router yours, or do you have permission to use it? If yes, then you can use a wireless-enabled laptop to connect to it, and if the router is connected to the internet, then you will be able to access it. However, if the router is not yours, or you do not have permission to use it, then you cannot connect to it, and thus the Internet. If in doubt, talk to whoever owns the router, or a local computer shop.

How can I connect my laptop to a wireless router?
There are two ways to connect your laptop to a router, wired and wireless. If your laptop is fairly new, it will likely support both types of connections. The easiest way to connect your laptop is wired. If your router is in the same room as your laptop, or if your router doesn't have wireless functionality, then you should wire it. Just get a standard ethernet cable, with the length depending on how far you have to connect it. However, if you want to be able to walk around your house or even go outside without cables holding you back, set up a wireless connection, if your laptop and router support it. You have to use network connections to connect to an available network, which you will have to set up using software that comes with your router. Once you are connected, you can go anywhere and receive internet as long as you are still in range of your router. Getting a more powerful router will increase your range.
