For wireless to work you need a wireless Router or AP. Then you put your connection info into the router. Your ISP will only see the router, will not see hardware connected to your router. (Note: most ISP requires the MAC address of the PC used to setup the account.) Once the router wired side is working you will need to setup the Wireless security, WPA for the router and notebook.
When you come to the states, you will either have to use Hotspots or your place of business may provide you with connection info. -
