Answer 1

Most computers, especially new ones have them already built in. Yout computer will automatically connect to the best connection that is unsecure unless you have a network password.

Answer 2

MacBook comes with built-in wireless capabilities that let you do everything you need to do, anywhere you need to do it. Wi-Fi networks show up right on your desktop. Just click and connect, and you can surf the web, send email, video chat, and more..

It's compatible with most of the normal routers, you don't need to buy a speicif router for mac.

U don't need the base station. The built in card can read other router signals & connect to it. Its nothing different than a regular laptop, only easier!!
