you can get USB 2.0 wireless adapters or PCI-Express cards
if you use ethernet you need a cable plugged into your computer

my grandfather had installed a pci express wifi adapter(as well as a CPU cooler) onto his computer before giving it to me

@ihas

If you plan on connecting over wifi then yes, you do need a wireless adapter. Note that if you do, make sure it's a PCIe card, they tend to have much better antennas than USB sticks.
If you don't plan on connecting over wifi then you will not need a wireless adapter in (presumably) your desktop, and can just use the built-in ethernet port in the motherboard.

Ethernet is a wired connection
you need to have a wifi adapter to use wireless as it is not ethernet

Go look on ebay, amazon, pcpartpicker, newegg etc. We shouldn't have to tell you how much something costs when the internet exists.

10-20. You install it into your motherboard.
A good wireless card is the Rosewill RNX-N250PCe (RNWD-11005) Wireless Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g/n PCI Express available on newegg
