But I was wondering if I could use the internet anywhere, as long as the place I am has a wireless router?? Or, do they have to be the exact same brand, what?? And I'm not talking about hotspots, but just other people in general, like at my office?? Please and thanks!!

If it's an unprotected wireless signal then yes you can leech off it for free internet. If the signal is encrypted then you will need to get the encryption key and/or password to log on. but it doesn't have to bee a matching device.

your question is pretty confusing. what do you mean with other people in general?
you don't need a router in your office. either there is already a wireless router or you will have the opportunity to connect your laptop to the internet by wire.
in case you get a wireless router it will be stationary in your home and haven't to be lugged around. using a wireless router permit you having an internet connection up to 500 feet away from the router outdoor and about 150 feet indoor (depending on the router).

it doesn't have to be the same brand and it won't make a differnce if it is but as long as it's not secured than you can get on if it is then you'll need the password. basically what fremen said, again.

what FREEMAN said and make sure your the port you are using is high speed. it helps on downloads and surfing.
