Hi seth1,

A wireless router has to be connected to your modem in order to distribute the wifi signal throughout your home. When you setup the router, you can hard wire the desktop to the router via an ethernet cable. You will need to connect to your network in order to obtain a wireless signal with your iPad. This can done through the Settings of your iPad. Once connected to your network, you can toggle the on/off option for the wifi to turn it on & off.

I hope this information helps.
