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.
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
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.

I have a laptop and it is the only computer in my house and it is set up wireless with a router, the router is hooked into the modem.
the easiest way is with a wireless router so that you can use a wireless laptop or wireless adpated PC anywhere in the house
If you have a cable connection and you don't have a wireless router you need to get one. When you are purchasing a wireless router make sure that it's compatible with your laptop wireless adapter.
It's a matter of choice. If you like flexibility laptop will be better for you. If you do not mind to have your computer at the same place desktop will work for you.

Yes, This is for adding a wireless antenna to a desktop or laptop computer that does not have wireless built in. You still need a wireless router connected to your internet provider.
