Luckily for you, Dell laptops now come with internal wireless cards as a standard, so that is one less thing that you need to buy. In order to set up a wireless internet network in your home, you will need to have either a cable or DSL internet connection, and a wireless router. You can get the router from a store like best buy or circuit city. Follow the instructions that come with the router in order to set it up. Don't forget to put a password on your wireless router, otherwise, anyone could use it and access your homes network, such as shared files on your computer.
I hope that this helps, good luck

A modem, a router and the laptop probably has the wireless card. Save your self a head ache and have your internet company come set it up and secure it for you.
Otherwise you will be on here for hours asking how to do this and getting 1/2 answers.

First, your laptop needs to be equipped with a wireless card. Second, your internet provider needs to provide you with a wireless modem/Router. Once this is set up (they come with instructions) you will have the necessary equipment to connect wirelessly in you home to the internet. Be sure to become familiar with the modem/router settings and within a few days, be sure to set your wireless network to an
encrypted one

For wireless, you need a router in the home.
Is the computer wifi ready?
If it is, you get a router, get the disc, and follow the insturctions that come with the router. Cost about $50.00

You need to have a wireless router. Normally you connect your cable modem to router. Also it is a good idea to get a cable to connect your computer directly to wireless router, as some setup activities require you to connect your computer to router directly using cable.

1. Router
2. Wireless adapter card if the laptop doesn't have built in wireless capability.
that's pretty much it.
