If the laptop computer has a wireless adapter installed, either internally or externally, and it can communicate over that adapter to the wireless router, it is time to disconnect the Ethernet cable. The computer will only use one network path to the router at a time.

Can you connect two desktop computers and one notebook computer to one router?
Yes, and you can connect many more devices. The router should have at least 4 ethernet ports to connect to. And/or you can connect wireless also. If you have more then 4 wired devices then you can use a 4, 8, or 16 port ethernet Switch to connect to the Router. Myself I have 3 desktops (wired), 3 wireless and 1 wired laptops, an X-Box 360 (wired), a Wii (wireless), a BlueRay player (wireless) and a Brother laser printer (wireless) connected to the router. (1 desktop, 1 laptop and the X-Box are hooked to the Router and the rest of the wired devices are connected to an 8 port ethernet Switch which is connected to the Router.)
Do you need to have a wireless adapter on your computer plus an adapter on your XBox 360 to get XBox live?
No, what i did is i took the ethernet cable that came with my xbox, connected it to my laptop, and connected my laptop to the internet via wireless router. The only other way that doesn't involve a wireless adapter for your 360 is to connect your 360 to your computer via an ethernet cable (not sure if you need a router for this but i might as well list it), but the laptop-connect is the "most effecient/cheapest" way, and the adapter-connect is the "best connection/signal" way.

You purchase a wireless router and short ethernet cable (some routers include the cable) and connect it to the cable modem output with the short ethernet cable, then connect the ethernet cable that was connected to your modem outputs to the wireless router outputs. This will only work if your Laptop has WiFi capability The prices of wireless router vary greatly and many can be purchased less than for retail price.
