assume ur laptop still has wireless. on your “wired″ desktop, make sure the cable is seated right, go to command prompt type ipconfig /release then ipconfig /renew see if that help.
Give your answer to this question below!
it sounds you did mistake in router setup, reset it.
check to see if your wifi is on or call the wireless company and they will go step by step with you
if you already have wireless on your laptop just use an Ethernet cable to connect the router to your desktop and then it should work

hope that helps.
If you can access the Internet on your laptop using your WiFi, then this will prove that your wireless router is working fine. You might want to check the Ethernet cable that connects the router to the desktop. Chances are you have plugged it loosely or you have mistakenly put it on the wrong port.
