Answer 2

If you bought a new laptop, it should have a wireless internet card already installed, so you shouldn't have to buy anything for the computer itself. I'm going on the assumption you are wanting high-speed internet and not dial-up because you didn't give any details.

The next component is a service provider--do you have an internet provider?  If not, you need to of course find one--I recommend Verizon FIOS service if you have it in your neighborhood.  Other common providers are Comcast, At&T, etc.  You will need to pick a service plan from one of those.

You will need a router.  Depending on what service provider you have, they may provide one--OR you may have to buy one.  Again, you didn't give details so it's hard to advise you :(.  I would recommend a wireless router, which you can buy at any Best Buy, Circuit City, Wal-Mart, etc.  Again, if you bought a new laptop, it should have a wireless card installed and that card will work with a wireless router.

For example, I am using my laptop, which has an internal wireless card.  I am connected to my Verizon FIOS service through the wireless router THEY provided.  So I didn't have to buy any 'gadgets'...again, it is going to depend on a) what kind of internet service you have, b) if the provider gives you the router or not and c) if your service provider only provides a wired router and you want to work wirelessly, then you will need to buy a wireless router.

If your internet provider gives you the router, then THEY can help you set it up.  If they don't, then the company who makes the router can help you set it up.  Both will have technical support lines to help you.

If you could give more details, it would really help...hope this helps.
