If your TV has a Netflix app installed, you simply need to connect your TV to the network either with an ethernet cable or wirelessly.
If your TV does not have internet connectivity, you must connect a device that allows you to stream Netflix (like a PS3, Wii, Roku, Blu-ray player or even a laptop). That device must connected to your home router (wired or wirelessly).

Your Broadband modem feeds the router (your problem device), which in turn connects to the computer's Network Card, the one with the RJ45 connector. The smaller connector goes to your modem, for use with Dial-up signals, not broadband. Cable modem feeds router, router routs signals to various computers, via RJ45 cables.

In my case too this happened initially with my lenovo y410 laptop with netgeat router. In laptops if th ewireless network is set with "public" profile then the connection is sometimes dropped by the driver.

If your Desktop computer is hardwired to the router and your laptop computers can't connect wirelessly, it could be your wireless computers are not synchronized with your router by not having the same settings as the router.
You can use the desktop machine to access your router web interface (setup page) to check the wireless settings such as SSID (Network Name-> Name of your wireless signal shown on your laptop computers), channel and security (wether it is WEP or WPA encryption)
The channel and network name will be automatically detected by the wireless computers. If you have an encryption/security on the router, you need to type the password on the wireless computers for them to authenticate.
