We switched some things around in our apartment and the ethernet cord is not long enough. I'm sick of dealing with cords, so how do I know what type of card to buy and what will fit?

We already have a wireless router for our laptop.

A standard wireless PCI card will do. I suggest Linksys. If you take a peek inside your computer you should see a few long white ports that have a small gap at about 3/4 towards the end. Those are the PCI ports. These are the ports you want to use.
Make sure also your router/modem supports wireless...
EDIT: Or use a USB adapter =P. I'm old fashioned

If you have a spare USB, buy a Usb wireless adaptor.
Else open your computer and fit a wireless PCI card.

nicely, it relies upon on the specification of the computer. most of the computer boughht on previous 90s do no longer help broadband connection yet when he had upgraded it already, like utilising domicile windows XP and up, replacing the factors, that is. Please tell the specs first.. :)
