Grandma has cable broadband internet on her computer. You'll be fine. She just doesn't have WiFi, so you won't be able to connect her laptop.
If by some chance you haven't flown out yet, you're welcome to grab my second AirPort Express (mom has a key to my house; the second AirPort Express is currently plugged into the power strip on the far side of my TV in my living room). Once you're at grandma's, take the ethernet cable that runs between her cable modem and her computer, unplug it from the computer, and plug it into the AirPort Express. Then wait for the light to turn solid green (which might take several minutes). Instant WiFi network, with no settings to mess with or anything. That's what I did when we visited her a year ago.
