You can, but you will be unable to connect to the Web or any other computers on your network.

If you are using WPA2 and have a good password, there should be no reason to turn off your router, as it would be nigh on impossible for anyone to access your router unless they knew your password.

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.
