Wireless reception for laptop, without desktop?

[pmsuper]

Can I get wireless reception on my laptop without having a desktop to go through? My desktop is out for repairs, and I don't want to be hooked up by an ethernet cable in order to get internet. Thanks,

Do you have a wireless router or access point?
