You guys do not need to be dicks. It was a question that i do not know the answer to because i do not know how wifi works. My caps? I get a free one at the start. Typing on a tablet. I would think the words expressed my question.
So, i need my internet to have my wifi? That is (not that's) what i (not I) was looking for.
If i had a keyboard i would type to your approval.

Thanks to some for steering me about this.

Let's start with what you're trying to do. You said:

"I never use my dell pc but use my phones and tablets from att. Do i need 50 bucks a month internet from sectv to use my ****? Att does not offer internet in my area. Is wifi magic?"

So, presumably your phones and tablets are on a data plan with ATT.
If you're talking about using wifi instead of ATT data plan for internet
access, then you need some wifi access point to connect to. Typically
for people at home, that's their wireless router that is connected to
an internet service, eg cable internet from the local cable company.
Or DSL, which is a lot slower, if cable isn't available, but DSL is.

If you don't have that, then you have to connect to something else.
If you're traveling, there are many hotspots that have free wifi.
Starbucks, Walmart, HD are some examples. In some select areas of the country,
there are wifi services available that you can pay for, if they have
coverage. But from a practical standpoint, by the time you pay for
it, you might as well pay the local cable guys $50 or whatever a month,
get the wireless router, and then you can connnect your stuff wirelessly
and the PC via ethernet or wireless and you'd have a 50Mbit/sec or better
quality connection that doesn't depend on reception.

If you want to find places locally that have free wifi, trying googling.
There are also apps for phones and tablets that will show you where
local hotspots are.

Perfect. I need my internet service for my wifi at home. That was the ill informed question. I did not know if my wifi would work if i shut my pc off.
