Answer 1

In your case, since your laptop is fairly new it will come with a built-in network adapter. After you purchase a wireless router you can then connect to your internet via the router wireless. No Ethernet cable needed. The instructions for your wireless router will tell you how to set everything up.

Answer 2

As long as you have a wireless card in the laptop, then yes, this is exactly what you should do.  The instruction manual for your router should have a diagram as to how to connect it, but the basic concept is that you have your cable/DSL line connected to a modem.  You then connect the modem to the router via Ethernet cable. The router broadcasts the 802.11 signal, which you can then pick up with your computer.

Answer 3

You need to buy internet service just like Cable TV service or phone service. look in your local phone book for internet service providers(most cable and phone companies also provide internet access).

without Internet access a wireless router and an ethernet cable will do nothing.

when you buy internet access and they come set it up, they will show you how to get it working.
