Well that is what they are trying to do... He went online this morning and signed up for something. It only seems to work just for his laptop. Did they have to have someone come and install it? Do they need a router?

The internet service provider (ISP), Comcast, should give them the modem to access the internet; that's part of the deal. That modem may have a wireless access point (WAP) built in but maybe not.
If it doesn't have a WAP, your sailor and his suitemates will have to provide that. They need to buy a WIFI router. BUT their computers must have WIFI as well.
If they don't have WIFI built in their computers, then they will need an Ethernet switch. That is a little box which has 4 or more ports which look like fat phone jacks. They will need an Ethernet port on each computer and an Ethernet cable to attach from the switch to each computer.
All of that is for YOUR benefit. I hope by the time you read this, your sailor and his roommate talk to their suitemates or the folks down the hall. These are Nukes and, by definition, they're geeky. Surely someone can show them exactly how they set up their suite's computers. They don't need to know this stuff to get through Nuke school but not knowing how to get a computer onto the internet is almost second nature to these Nukes. Your sailor really needs to learn how to do this.
Mine shared a wired set up with his suitemates and they each paid maybe $20/month. When my Nuke was the last one in the suite, he transferred the account to himself and kept the equipment. When he left, he passed it on to his suitemates. I'm surprised no one else in the suite had a set up.
