For your laptop to have wifi access to the internet, LAN, or
the above router, your laptop will have to have the wifi
card in it OR have a wifi network adapter (hooked up by USB
if it doesn't have an internal card). There is no other USB
connection necessary for the above linked router or modem
(when the modem is hooked directly to the router).

You can manage it with any system connected to it, either by
connection using network cable OR connection to it with
wifi. Once you have it set up properly there is no need for
a physical wire connection from it to anything but the
modem. However, until you get it set up correctly (or in
caes of problems like misconfiguration) then you may not
have wifi connection working so in such cases you could need
to connect a cable to it (or use another system that is able
to connect to it) to reconfigure it for correct wirefess
funciton again. In general this shouldn't be necessary,
once it is working it should remain so with no need to
reaccess unless you had specific reconfiguration needs.
