I have a perfectly good, but aged, laptop which I use at home: broadband connection is via wires - no wifi.
I shall be elsewhere for a month with free wifi access available. What's the simplest/cheapest way to get access given that I don't want to fork out for a new laptop just for a month's use?
suggestions?

At the risk of stating the obvious - don't get confused between a wireless dongle and a mobile dongle!
This is the sort of thing you want

Check that it works with your operating system (win xp/vista/etc)I'm a retired employment solicitor. Hopefully some of my comments might be useful, but they are only my opinion and not intended as legal advice.0
