Ok there are three parts to a Wi-Fi connection:
1) You need a wireless card in your computer. Most new laptops will have them already installed. If you don't have one, you will need to buy one to hook up or install into your computer. This device allows your computer to recognize and receive the WIreless signal from a router with wireless capabilities (wireless router)
2) You need access to a wireless router. All DSL and Cable services have a router to turn your signal into the "ethernet" cable that plugs into your computer. You need to have one of those, or be near by one in a public place.
3) You need internet service. Or the coffee shop you go to needs internet service.
Good luck!

A wifi ready computer can be used to connect for free to the internet at many locations such as libraries, internet cafes (most coffee shops now days), and many other places. For home use you will need a broadband ISP connection (cable of DSL) and a wireless router, unless one of your neighbors is running an unsecured network and you are willing to go to jail for theft of services.
