Two hardware devices are needed in order for a computer to be connected to the wireless network.
First your need a Wireless Network Card (laptops usually already have them preinstalled)
WiFi cards are simply NIC cards you can install in the computer and can be bought fairly inexpensive these days. Usually the 'drivers' for the cards are installed first from the CD, then the card itself is installed. (some manufacture directions differ, so read the instructions first) It's usually a painless process.
Second you would need a Wireless Router
Wireless routers come a dime a dozen and are simple to install as well.
First connect the router to the cable or DSL modem, with CAT5 cable. Restart both your cable modem and your router.then access and configure the router from the routers web page (usually 192.168.2.1 but it may be different) Make sure you configure your network for WPA2 security and configure the computer for the WPA2 password as well.
You may have to renew your DCHP for this as well - contact your internet Service Provider for more details on how to do that.
Both the WiFi card and the wireless routers are manufactured buy well known companies, such as Linksys, Belkin, and Cisco.
