Yeah it doesn't matter who anyone is with. As long as your laptop is wireless enabled it will pick up his signal.

If it's protected (his wireless) you just need his password to use it, if not then you will just connect automatically.

If your lappy isn't wireless enabled I will explain that if you want

Yup. But it all depends on wether the place you are taking it is wifi enabled, and if it is protected or not. If so you just need the SSID or password. BTW all BT homehubs have the passwords printed on the stickers underneath them.
