You must first purchase and install the required hardware. The wireless router which is connected to your desktop by cable, and Wireless network adapters for each device on the wireless network. Newer laptop computers have wireless adapters built-in . Separate USB adapters must be purchased for computers that don't have that built-in capability If you use Windows XP, then run the Home Networking Wizard. Go to Start/My Network places/ and under Network Tasks click on "Set up a Home or Small Office Network". This launches a wizard that will guide you through the process. You must run the wizard on the desktop computer first. At the end of that process, you will be told to make a copy on removable media, such as a CD, and then run the copy on the laptop. If you're not running Windows XP it can be a little different.

Will a wireless router work when it is connected to a desktop computer that doesn't have a wireless card?
Are you asking if the computer will get internet? If so... Yes. as long as the router is connected to a modem via network cable and also connected to the desktop computer via network cable.The computer will not connect to the wireless signal sent out by the router. Without a wireless card, it will only work if it is hard patched via network cable to a working modem. If you are asking if the wireless router will still work, even when its connected to a desktop computer with out a wireless card, the answer is also yes. and i this situation, a wireless card in the computer is completely irrelevant so I'm guessing this is not what you meant.
