Accessing the Internet with Netgear and Cable modem

I have a Netgear router attached to my cable modem that connects my laptop wirelessly to the internet.  I have a desktop with no network card.  To access the internet with the desktop I have to unplug the router and connect the desktop to the cable modem.  I cannot access the internet from my laptop at the same time.  Is there a configutation that will allow me to connect both at the same time?  Any help would be appreciated.
