Best Answer

The answer to the question is "No."

However, the fact that you're asking the question indicates that you may not really understand what a wireless router does. It allows you to connect a computer which is within range of the wireless router to another computer (or several computers, or printers which allow wireless connections, etc.) which is also within range of the wireless router. It does not allow you to connect directly to the internet; if you want to do that, you're going to need some kind of other connection.
