If your machine doesn't have inbuilt wifi cabability then as Browntoa writes, get an adatpter and plug into a USB port.You won't know what the wifi signal strength will be like until you move.You might need to improve that as well, if necessary.Things that are differerent: draw & drawer, brought & bought, loose & lose, dose & does, payed & paid0

Check Device Manager (Windows) or the Apple/Linux equivalent to see if the hardware is already there.
Any USB WiFi adapter will do, however there is NO guarantee anything will work satisfactorily at distance from a router, suggest you try a mobile device in the room you will be staying in beforehand.
A lot will depend on the construction of the property and how thick the walls are.0 -

It says WLAN and BLUETOOTH so it has WiFi already.
You can turn it on via "Network and Internet settings"2
