Bought wireless a couple of months ago. Will it work?

It will not. Just works as a normal modem, or whatever they call them. Even went on the phone where some chap installed it all for me. Still nothing. The light on the laptop isn't even lit up to say its working, which apparently, its supposed to do. I'm not too bad with computers but this baffles me.
