If the computer doesn't already have one:

1. for a desktop, get a PCI plug-in card (you'll need to open the case), or use a USB plug-in device,

2. for a laptop, use a PC Card (older technology), or use a USB plug-in.

You'll also need an access point (hot spot, wireless router) connected to the internet.

You'll need to use the correct software (drivers) with whatever device you use, you'll need to be near an access point (hot spot), and you may want to activate wireless security so no-one else can piggy-back into your network and steal bandwidth, or (worse), screw up your system.
