One way is to connect a wireless router to your desktop through a LAN port.
What you have by using a USB client, you have to have your desktop
turned on at all times.
If you had used an Ethernet to wireless bridge you could have connected
the bridge directly into the wireless router without having to keep your
desktop on.
