All of this shit is confusing

Okay so my landlord said that the apartments all have internet. But to access that internet do I need a Wi-Fi router? Cuz I gotta get my homework done. And if this place does have internet, where is it? Why am I not hooked up to it automatically I've lived here for almost 2 years. I'v just basically been bumming off of people's Wi-Fi around me but they all kicked me off.
