Almost all new laptops will come with built in wireless capabilities. For older models, the wireless card will generally go in a special slot or a usb slot.

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.
