You'll need to purchase and install a "wireless adapter" for your computer -- and today the most popular ones are little "dongles" that plug into your USB port. You'd spend anywhere from about $30 to $80 for an adapter.

One that is installed, you will need to connect to a wireless network -- which is either going to be in a Hotel, coffee shop, or at your home if you've installed a Wireless Router or an Access Point. The adapter in your PC will "associate" to an "Access Point" -- and the Access Point will put your signal onto the network so you can access resources and/or the internet.

What does the term wireless enabled mean?

Wireless Enabled is a system normally on laptops which allows you to access the Internet via an existing Internet connection. For example; If you buy a laptop which is wireless enabled, and you wish to get on to the Internet then you can do if you have a computer which has the Internet or a wireless router.
