Your router should have a wireless network. Read the manual for how to enable it and set up a key, then connect to it with your laptop.

Or just use a cable like with a desktop.

Can you use a laptop to go online anywhere there is a router?

It depends: Is the router yours, or do you have permission to use it? If yes, then you can use a wireless-enabled laptop to connect to it, and if the router is connected to the Internet, then you will be able to access it. However, if the router is not yours, or you do not have permission to use it, then you cannot connect to it, and thus the Internet. If in doubt, talk to whoever owns the router, or a local computer shop.
