Either buy a computer with wifi connection or buy a wireless capable component to add to your existing computer.

This will allow your computer to receive wifi signals. Half the battle.

In order to receive a wifi signal the wifi signal must be transmitted from somewhere.

Many places such as coffeeshops or trainstations have wifi transmitters but to receive it in your home you will need a wireless router (aka a wireless hub).

Usually you can plug the cable that provides your internet into the back of the wireless router (check before you buy) and after a bit of setup your computer will be able to receive the wifi signal.

First, you need an active internet connection from an internet provider. Then, you will need to (unless the ISP provided one for you) a wireless router from your favorite department or electronics store.

You need to have two things. First you need a modem that provides the internet. Usually this is DSL or a cable modem. The second thing you need is a wireless router which are made by many companies with Linksys being the most prominent. One other thing is two ethernet cables.
