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.
PLug an ethernet cord into your router port and the other end into your computer
Yes.
A router can improve network security if it includes the use of NAT (network address translation) and/or a firewall.
I have a laptop and it is the only computer in my house and it is set up wireless with a router, the router is hooked into the modem.
It depends on how it's set up. If the wireless router is connected directly to the service, you should be able to connect the laptop without the desktop being turned on. If the desktop is connecte directly to the service and the router feeds from the desktop... no, you'll need the desktop to be running. No Its Doesn't.You Just Need A Modem To Be Connected To The Desktop Computers Ethernet Port
Most wireless connections also require the use of a WiFi router when using a USB Connector for a second desktop if the Internet connection is hard wired to a desktop computer. If the main Internet connection is a WiFi antenna on the building, then a wireless router is usually not necessary, but the USB Connector is necessary for a desktop computer.
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.
Yes, This is for adding a wireless antenna to a desktop or laptop computer that does not have wireless built in. You still need a wireless router connected to your internet provider.
I wireless desktop card is hardware you install into your computer so you can connect your computer to a wireless network from a router or access point.

Every computer can be wireless with the purchase of 2 items. The router as stated and now a usb wireless adapter. Both can be purchased for less than $150 and will give you coverage in and around your residence. Recommended purchase is the Range max N router from liksys or comparable "N" type router and usb adapters.
There is no difference between a laptop or a desktop when setting up a router. You should use an Ethernet cable when setting up your router, and use the wireless only after it's setup.
