To receive wi-fi signals the computer must be equipped with a compatible wireless card. This can either be a PCI card, usb device, or built in with some laptops.
To have wi-fi in your home you must have a wireless router to broadcast your wi-fi signal.
So in short, if you just want to use wireless at a coffee shop or hotel all you need is a way to receive it, either built in with your laptop or with a usb wireless antenna.
To host your own wireless hotspot you must have a router capable of wi-fi.
