It depends on how it's set up. If the wireless router is connected directly to the service, you should be able to connect the laptop without the desktop being turned on. If the desktop is connecte directly to the service and the router feeds from the desktop... no, you'll need the desktop to be running. No Its Doesn't.

For example in computing: some computers do not have a wireless device installed, so to bridge a computer to a computer that has wireless you need a CABLE, the computer that is connected to the internet-enabled computer would be the bridge, and the start point would be between the computer that has not got internet, to the one that has.
