    You need either a wireless DSL modem, or if your ISP gives you a DSL modem, then a wireless router.

    Follow the manual on how to configure it (note that if you have the latter setup you need to put the modem into bridge mode, see the FAQ).

    As for security, again read the manual to set up WPA (more secure than WEP). This usually involves choosing a passphrase and then entering the same passphrase on teh laptop when you configure the wireless network.

    Be easier to give exact instuctions when you know what model of wireless device you buy.
