If you have a router (connected to internet), and you get a laptop with wireless enabled you do not need anything else. You can connect your laptop to the router and have internet on your laptop.
I can get 125 feet outside of my house and still connect to my 3G enabled router. I got additional range by locating the router upstairs in the house. The router uses a Sprint 3G USB modem that can be removed and used directly in a laptop if you want mobility.
Do you mean that you are connecting your laptop through a router with your main computer in your home? If so, no there is no additional charge to connect.

The best way to connect your laptop to Internet when is already being used by your PC is to add a router. Depending on the router you select, you can then connect your laptop to the router or you can connect wirelessly. This will allow you to have more than one computer on the Internet at the same time.
A router and the modem that will hook up to that router so it can provide the internet. Or you can wirelessly connect to the modem with Wi-Fi. You can also use a dongle for on-the-go internet.
Your router should have a wireless network. Read the manual for how to enable it and set up a key, then connect to it with your laptop. Or just use a cable like with a desktop.
Yes, you can connect directly via the use of a cross-over cable, or through a connectivity device such as a hub, switch, or router.
Connect a router lead from your internet box (if you have one) to your laptop.
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.
Any problem like this should be approached by testing step by step, so:Can other laptops connect to the router? If not then, it may be the router or the connection to the ISP.Can you connect with a network cable? If that works, then there is a problem with the WiFi - the configuration may be wrong, the connection may be too weak, it may be turned off in the laptop or the router. It may actually be broken in the laptop or router.
