How do you install a wireless router without a desktop computer?

Check the CD or manual that came with it. Most modern routers designed for small business or home use are pretty simple to install if you read and follow the directions.
The basic scenario is this:
1. You must have a modem (usually cablemodem or DSLmodem) with a CAT5 output connector.
2. You run a CAT5 cable from the output of the modem to the input of the wireless router.
3. For setup, you need to run another CAT5 cable from an output of the router to the CAT5 socket on a computer. This is to initially configure the router. Once setup has been completed, most wireless routers don't need to have a hardwired computer and this cable can be removed.
4. Read the manual or hire somebody who can read manuals.
5. Follow directions exactly. Every router is a bit different, and setups using the same router can be different. You may want more or less security than I do. You may want a very private setup, or you may want your wifi to be accessible to anybody who walks into your place with a computer. I may want some of my computers to be CAT5 hardwired to the router, and you may want everything to be wireless.

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.
