Is there a router that you can plug a laptop modem into so that I can get internet on my desktop also. The desktop would need ethernet and of course the laptop is usb. So is there a router out there that can do this?

Untrue. You CAN access the internet with a desktop. There are two primary ways just like a laptop. You can either hook an ethernet cable to the PC or you can attach a USB-attached Wireless device that will access the internet in a wireless manner the same as a laptop. Laptops normally can also be directly be connected to an ethernet cable. The desktop access is normally limited to access you pay for since most people can't easily take their desktop down to their local coffee shop to access free Wi-fi!
