“I've already plugged it into the wall.”
Plug something into … means to connect it by inserting its plug. The wall stands for the wall socket, so plug it into the wall means connect it to the electrical outlet.

SceneIn Tina's room. Her new router will not connect, so she phones a technician. Frank is there too.
WORDS & CONTEXT
Words & context
“Sorry, could you say that again?”
Sorry, could you say that again? politely asks for repetition when something was unclear or surprising, especially on the phone. The temporary password is so simple that Tina thinks she misheard it.
“temporary password” / “all lowercase”
Temporary means for a short time, not permanent, and all lowercase means using only small letters. In this scene the temporary password is password123: lowercase password followed by the numbers 123. The technician tells Tina to change it after connecting. Frank then wants detailed rules for the new password she will set.
“Back home, we never needed passwords.”
Back home means where I come from. Tina does not tell the technician she is an alien; she just grumbles about how things differ from home. Doesn't trust anyone means it believes no one; the joke treats an internet that demands passwords like a suspicious person.
“I wanted Wi-Fi, not a whole course!”
A course here is a series of lessons. Because Frank brings out his list of questions, Tina teases that a short connection call is turning into a whole course. Her comeback, "All I wanted was to get connected," is the punchline, aimed at Frank's thoroughness.
