It will only affect your laptop and the VPN runs from your device.

If you wanted to make the whole network (wired and wireless) run over the VPN then you would have to configure the router to initiate the VPN connection - this is far more complex and requires router firmware which supports a VPN connection.

I take it you want the former (just your internet connection on the laptop over VPN)?

You could just download and use the Opera web browser as it now includes a free and unlimited VPN, via servers that I believe are based in Sweden

Vpnexpress is good and you can select your location

Using a service that routes through a Swedish server might give you issues if you need to access uk specific sites (e.g bbc iPlayer) agree its free, but adds possible hassles ...
