hi, welcome.
Yes, that laptop has a wireless card and can connect to a wireless router.
More info if you like:
In this case "WLAN:802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN", it is the 802.11b/g/n that tells you what types of wireless specifications the card can connect to. To someone new to wireless stuff this may seem kind of arcane, and it is, but it is the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers or IEEE, that approve these standards and name this stuff, and they name lots of different standards, thousands, millions maybe, I have no idea.
I strongly recommend you read Nick Spohn's Wireless guide. I has lots of infomation a beginer like you will find helpful. Below is a link to it, it is the first post in this Networking and Wireless Forum, it is a sticky which means it stays at the top of the forum so it is easy to find.
