Answer 1

one way or another you will have to get and install an wireless network adapter

Your laptop already has one

Any brand o a g wireless network adapter will do

Best to buy a new one - it will have the correct instal disk ( drivers)

Ask if it will install on your computer - very few of the older ones will work with vista

You would have to buy a newer / more expensive model

The wireless network adapters for you come in two models

- a built in one ( PCI) if you are handy

- easier is  a usb version

you will not have to open the case and install

having some type of usb extension as well works out for better speed .  You can take the usb higher and away for better reception

Any brand of usb network adapter will do  

Answer 2

Just connect to the wireless network with your new computer. It's the same process as when you connected your upstairs computer and laptop.

If you do not have a wireless card in your new computer, you must purchase one.  Alternatively, you could purchase a USB wireless adapter.  The latter choice is probably less expensive.

Answer 3

If your computers are brand new they should have wireless technology to find out if you do go to my computer > Network and internet Connections and should see an option called Set up a wireless connection and then run through that wizard.  However, my desktops don't come with a wireless connection and so you have to buy a wireless card or a another router which would be connected to that main router that has the modem connected to it.
