Best Answer

To connect to the internet via wifi you will need:

A wifi enabled laptop/pc OR a wifi card/adapter.

A wifi router/network with the internet connection connected to it.

As long as your router is set-up correctly and your laptop is fairly new you shouldn't have any trouble connecting to the internet.
