Here's the description from www.apple.com
AirPort Extreme Base Station
The sleek, easy-to-use AirPort Extreme Base Station is the perfect wireless access point for home, school, or small business. Blazing fast, it delivers up to five times the performance and up to twice the range compared to 802.11g routers.1 And you can use it with both Macs and PCs.
The AirPort is very good, but VERY expensive. You can buy any other brand of Wireless router for about $30.
Q#1: All routers work on all platforms.
Q#2: Your grandparents must have Internet access first, then add a $30 Wifi Router and you can use your laptop wirelessly.

I have my own wireless base station. It costs about $100 for the portable one. U can wirelessly print, get wireless internet, and if you have iTunes, listen to wireless music when the base station is hooked up to a stereo.
