You need to get yourself a Wireless Router and connect it to your modem.
So it should go like this
Surfboard SB5120 > Wireless Router > The Laptop should pick up the Wireless connection and you’re good to go.
I recommend one of the 3 below $100.
I used them all and they are the most reliable in that range.
D-LINK DIR-625
Cisco WRT54GL
