Yes, you do not need a wireless access point to make computers in your house communicate with each other without wires. You can set up a so called ad-hoc wireless network. Ad-hoc network are frequently used to connect wireless enabled laptops to share files, folders etc. It is less common to share an internet connection via an ad-hoc network.

Alternatively, you can set up 1 laptop to act as a wireless access point. Connect the laptop with a networkcable to the contraption you received from the company that connects you to the internet. Enable your wireless. Under control panel, look for these 2 active networks, right click and select bridge connection.
