If the access point has a wireless interface and if your laptop supports the wireless network type, no you do not need a router. <><><><><> If the laptop is not near enough to an access point, it will not be able to connect. The router is immaterial.
Cisco business grade routers and switches use what is called IOS its a command based os meaning you have to enter commands to configure. There are console ports you can connect to a computer to a router where you can have direct access with the router via putty or hyper terminal (there might be more programs). once you set up like this you have access to the ios command line interface.
The network administor must have physical access to the device to establish a console connection whereas TELNET access can be established form a remote location. However telnet access depend upon a router with network access's, whereas a console connection can be used to access the router regardless of the router's configuration.
SSH

Outbound interface
Yes, this Notebook has wireless access to the internet through other media devices such as a wireless router or modem.

The only thing you can do if your Access Point's security settings are not supported by the DS would be to change the settings so that they are supported by the DS. You would have to log-in to your Router's web interface in order to change the settings for your Router.
(config)#no interface loopback x
If a router has a route in its routing table, it will have a next hop IP address and / or outbound interface. If a router does not have a route in its routing table the packet will be dropped.
