What is needed to hook computer into Wireless?
You need to have two things: a wireless router and a wireless adapter compatible with the router.
Do you need a router to connect a desk top computer to wireless internet?
What every wireless network has is a WAP (Wireless Access Point). A router is the best choice and you only need one computer (a laptop with a wireless Network card will do just fine)...The WAP in turn, hooks up to either your phone line or cable and then off to your Internet Service Provider so you can get Internet access. So I guess to answer your questioin, no you do not need a desktop. Just a Wireless Access Point (router) and your laptop with a wireless network card is it.
How do you set up WiFi connection?
Broadband Internet connection second Wireless router third A computer with built-in wireless networking support or a wireless network adapter A wireless router is The router converts the signals coming across your Internet connection into a wireless broadcast, sort of like a cordless phone base station.

Can you somehow network your internet connected computer so you can plug a wireless router into the computer and have this router broadcast WiFi signals that your wireless devices can connect to it?
You can. You have to have the following things to make it work: 1. A modem ( if you have cable/DSL you have one.) 2. An Ethernet cord 3. A wireless router The first thing you have to do is take the Ethernet chord and plug the one end into the modem and the other end into the input of the wireless router. most wireless routers have more Ethernet ports on it. All of your computers that hook up with Ethernet hook up here. this router isn't secure, but it is broadcasting wifi signals. in order to secure it, follow the instructions that come with your wireless router.
Do you have to hook the router up to a computer?
No - a router can connect to a computer, another router, a switch, a hub, a bridge or a modem. If you are connecting to the Internet via DSL or cable company you will need a modem/router to connect to them. You then attach your computer (or computers) to that router. Routers are useful because they make decisions about which way a packet of data goes - this network or this network? If you have one network that doesn't go anywhere (connect to the Internet or another network) a router is of no use to you and a switch generally does wonderfully and is cheaper than a router.
Can you hook up to the internet with a stand alone computer?
Yes you can. If you have a DSL or Cable broadband internet you just need to hook the modem's ethernet cable to the computer and your set to go. (of course after you configure everything) If you don't have a ethernet port and just a wireless laptop then you will need either a wireless modem or a wireless Router. The Modem just hooks to the router then the router connects to all your networkable devices. I would vote for the wireless router as once you get a smartphone, iPad, WiFi Blueray player, WiFi HDTV, X-Box, etc, you will already be set up to hook them all up. Most wireless Routers usually have 4 ethernet ports as part of it also.
