1.For your laptop you need a wireless LAN card, which is
inserted usually in the right side or left side of your laptop.
Cost around Rs 1000/= for a netgear model
Just insert the CD, and read the instructions before
inserting the hardware.
Confirm.

2. Try to exchange the adsl modem for a wifi modem/router
with bsnl rent Rs 50 Pm or purchase at Rs 1600/+ taxes
If not interested
buy a netgear WIFI router WGR 614
cost approx Rs1600 to Rs 2000

3. In your laptop you have to set up a Wireless LAN
connection.
Start/All programs/ Accessories/communications
test with a LAN port/ethernet port connection
Network connection wizard
( ignore if done, and using laptop in LAN mode )

Wireless network connection Wizard.
Follow instructions.

4. See in this forum's sub forum

showing an adsl modem+ wif router details thread )
for any additional information.

5.Feed back,:
what you purchased, unit details,
and if any problem.
