Getting internet on Laptop

linksys!!
That's the only unsecure wifi connection we can get. But it's usually only one bar and we can't connect to the internet on it.
And no, i've never seen on.... If i buy that would it replace my modem? So i can get internet on my desktop and the laptop? And would i have to contact my internet provider or anything?

Are you using cable or DSL?

Routers are hooked up to modems. (Modems are hooked up to routers.. whatever)

They allow you to have more than one computer/system connected to the internet. Like right now, we have two computers and an xbox 360 connected.

They forward information(i.e. the internet) to multiple things..

Its honestly not complicated. Its all straightforward when you get one and follow the step-by-step instructions of hooking one up.

A router will not replace your modem.

Here's a diagram to help you understand how it's all connected:
