These days routers are computers, but they do not have a screen, mouse and keyboard. Most likely they will not have any drives either.
If you want to buy a wireless VOIP router for your Toshiba desktop then you should look into Linksys. You can buy the router for your desktop at Linksys.
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?

Between a Router and a computer they have CPU'S, RAM, ROM, and an Operating System. Those are the only things that a Router and a Computer have in common.
To set up a router in one room and a desktop in another, first connect the router to your internet source (like a modem) using an Ethernet cable. Then, use another Ethernet cable to connect the router's LAN port to the desktop in the other room. If running a cable is impractical, consider using a wireless connection by connecting the desktop to the router's Wi-Fi network. Finally, make sure to configure the router's settings through its web interface for optimal performance.
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
