It depends on your modem. It has to be a wireless modem for wifi to work. If it's not wireless enabled, you'll need something to convert the "wired" Internet to a "wireless" signal, ie a router.
I would call whoever your DSL is through and ask them if the modem you have is wireless enabled. If yes, have them help you connect. If not, either ask them to provide one (upgrade) or purchase the router.
Ps wifi is also called WLAN. LAN is wired, WLAN is wireless. LAN is local area network.
