Does that mean the computer is WiFi able?

Nope, it just means, you can connect the ethernet cable from modem/router and you'll have internet access.
-
How can you tell whether or not a computer is ready for WiFi? Is there a way to check on the computer by going to System? Anything in particular to look for?
-
Well, it depends what computer you have, but also if you have 802.11 wireless PCI card internally, so run diagnostic programs like Sandra and Everest.
If it's a Centrino, its guaranteed to have WiFi. -
what do you mean by "ready" ?
are you asking if your notebook is able to connect wirelessly right now or are you asking if it's capable of connecting wirelessly with an upgrade? -
Sorry, by ready I meant if the computer was able to connect wirelessly as it is, with no need to buy any extra cards or installing anything else.
-
Any new laptop bought today unless it is a low base model is going to have WiFi.
-
what make/model is it?
if it came wifi ready, you will see some type of wifi configuration app in start/programs. you should also see some type of wifi status icon in your system tray.
