  Not just any LAN card, it has to be a wireless LAN card. Or if you prefer, get a wireless adaptor instead. Don't use wireless LAN card if you don't know how to configure.
  
  If using wireless, just set up everything to be wireless, no need for extra modem.

  So that means, one needs to have:
  
  1) Wireless MODEM
  
  2) Router
  
  3) Adapter that's connected to the computer?
  
  Can Mayi be a dear and explain the components that's needed?

  If you use a wireless modem, it will function as a router. Mine works this way. The router is unneeded.
  
  If you already have a modem but without wireless capability, you need to get the router, and set up accordingly to the router's manual.
  
  And yes, an adapter is needed. Or a wireless LAN card.
  
  In summary:
  
  1. If already have a router, get an adapter or WLAN card for the PC.
  
  2. If have modem, but no wireless capability, get a router and the adapter/WLAN card.

  I LOVE you Mayi!
  
  Thank you very much! I've been wanting to ask someone to explain in as simple as possible! Thanks!

  If you get a wireless LAN card, there's no need to get the adapter and vice versa.
  
  I don't think Starhub sells that, you have to buy extra components yourself.

  Your laptop doesn't need any extra hardware. Just use the Windows Wireless Configuration to connect to your wireless.
