Just last month I helped a neighbor setup their wireless system. Advances in software helped immensely to not require us to "plug in" to the router to set it up.
YMMV,

Is a desktop PC w/ethernet connection required in order to set up a wireless network? I only have 1 laptop PC and when looking at various instruction "manuals" they always seem to include a desktop PC connected to the wireless router with an ethernet cable. I have a DSL broadband connection via a combination wireless modem/router and a wireless card for my laptop. Do I require any other equipment in order to go wireless with just my laptop? Thanks in advance for your help.
