How do you access Wi-Fi?

A couple of free Wi-Fi access points have opened up near me but I have no idea how to access them using my laptop. Could someone tell me what device I need to connect? Thanks.

You need a wireless adapter in the laptop. Generally, public access points will be found and will associate if you use your wireless utility to scan for networks. If there is any doubt, contact the operator of the hotspot for specific instructions.
