Okay I want to know if I have a wireless modem, does it have to be connected to a desktop in order for my laptop to work wireless? Also, will I have the same DSL speed as when I am connected with the ethernet cable?

Nope, and Nope
You dont have to connect the modem to the desktop, just connect it directly to the line and you are good to go.
Theory, you should be able to get the same speed, but practically you wont get the same speed. But it will show you a connection in higher speed.

Wireless network works like your cordless phone: radio signals transmit data from point A to point B (and back). There are different type of wireless network : Wireless Local area Network (LAN) and wireless personal area network (WP AN). Also in a wireless local area network a device called an access point AP connect computer and peripherals to a network ( Wireless routers have an access point built -in.
