You will need a wifi router. This is a box that attaches to your internet connection and broadcasts wifi within your house. You can set it up with a password so only your machines can use your internet connection (this is advisable so others can't use your internet, they might search for bad/illegal things) - then on your wifi computer, you can pick up the internet just by entering the password.

B. A router
B.2 Possibly a ethernet cable if your ISP (Internet Service Provider) and the router’s package doesn’t give you one. Which I doubt. (They will very likely give you one.
C. The actual wireless laptop
