They connect to a router modem and can do so by wireless. The modem connects to the internet. Being wireless, several computers can connect to the same modem to share an internet connection.

Answer 3

Once you have set up your router.
Make sure that you set it up so that it's PSK (Pre Shared Key) and also add a pass phrase, usually when you goto connect via the laptop you add in your key + passphrase. Then it's set up.
If you change the pass phrase on the router, then all you need do on the laptop is change the passphrase, not both. some people think they need to add in both when this isn't the case at all.

When you do connect you should obtail speeds of ~54.0Mbps up to ~112Mbps depending on your router. I only have a 54.0Mbps router and it does me fine.
