There may be a switch on your laptop to turn it on or you may need to click start,my network places,view network connections (left hand side) and enable wifi from there.
Also, read this guide on setting up a router.

you will have to use the cable that came with the router to set up the initial connection then once you’ve set it up just disconnect the cable and you should still be connected. remember to switch the wireless facility on in your laptop.
if its a new computer it should pick up the signal automatically.
