Contrary to what some have posted, you do NOT have to buy a new wireless router. That will work, but isn't strictly necessary. You could add a Wireless Access Point (WAP) to the network instead.
Shop around and see which way works out cheapest for you. Keep in mind that setting up a WAP may be slightly easier than setting up a new router.

No. You have to have some sort of wireless access point or router. Also, your PC has to have a wireless network card.

He has to have a wireless router. That's the only way you can go wireless.
