Best Answer

You purchase a wireless router and short ethernet cable (some routers include the cable) and connect it to the cable modem output with the short ethernet cable, then connect the ethernet cable that was connected to your modem outputs to the wireless router outputs. This will only work if your Laptop has WiFi capability

The prices of wireless router vary greatly and many can be purchased less than for retail price. Review online prices before making a purchase to prevent overpaying.
