    Does your laptop have integrated wireless (or a wireless card)? If it does and you have a wireless router, then you can connect wirelessly.

    You should review your router's instruction manual and your wireless manual. After that, you should look around a little bit in this board, as there are tons of tutorials on how to set up a wireless network.
