Yes this model has an Intel Pro/Wireless 2100 802.11b integrated wireless LAN which means it can get wireless signals from a wireless router or any other broadcasting device, but unless you access a wifi hotspot -- Carl's Junior, Starbucks-- you yourself won't need any modem nor any router but the cafe or restaurant or mall I mean whoever who owns that wifi hotspot does need an internet connection with a modem and a wireless router to broadcast the signal

I live in a city with only about 55000 people (small in my opinion), and we have at least 5 cafes (locally owned, not major chains) that have wifi routers. Try asking around where you live, there should be 1 or 2 at least.

USB or PCMCIA wireless card, install your software and when it ask plug it in and your ready to go as long as your near a wireless router
