It means you have wi-fi built in and you don't need to add it.
Wireless internet connection (already there)

You will need a wireless access point to use wi-fi. So if this is your home network you will need a router with wi-fi capabilities. And your ISP depending on the provider, people correct me if I'm wrong, but I think AT&T has a plan where you can access wi-fi almost anywhere in the country(U.S.).
