Can Malware Transfer Through Wifi?

Yo so I've been wondering since my brother tends to have not so safe internet habits, if potential malware from his laptop can potentially transfer to other devices that also share the same WiFi/network. Also does proximity matter (like side by side Vs in another room). And also if malware could transfer, how to prevent it since I can't control what my brother does. Also I can't do anything router related since it's up to my dad and he doesn't care as much about malware.

Essentially, is it possible? How to prevent it? Is it likely?

Best Built In Factory Reset?

I got a new laptop and want to wipe it/factory reset it to remove any risk of malware or viruses or bugs. But I plan to use the built into windows 11 one and I'm unsure what id the best way to go about this. Can someone give me a step by step? Also ik clean USB reinstall is the best but I'm too lazy for that and so I want whatever is the 2nd best option to do that.
