Quick answer; no.

Slightly longer answer; purchasing a wireless router or gateway will only allow you to pick up that particular router and whatever you have plugged into it i.e. DSL. Buying a wireless router will not enhance your systems ability to receive other wireless networks in your area. However, this can be accomplished by purchasing a wireless notebook card for a laptop, or a wireless USB or a wireless PCI card for a desktop. (The USB will work in both laptops and desktops)

Can you connect a wireless access point to a two-desktop wired network by cable and access a wireless laptop without connecting via the Ethernet port?

No, why would you? I suggest just buying a wireless PCI card for the two desktops. It would make life much more easier. You can, what you need is a wireless router... this will allow you to have approximatly 4 ethernet ports and wireless access to your network, but look in your manual to make sure you encrypt the data so as to protect from wireless predators...
