Can i set up a laptop to a wireless router, without the router being attached to a computer?

Question

My grandfather is getting an Acer Aspire 5920 Laptop, i was wondering whether i would be able to set it up so it could connect to a wireless router, "WIRELESS-G ROUTER WGR614" so he would be able to surf the internet without the router needing to be attached to the laptop as mine is at my house.

Ensure that the laptop has a built in wi-fi card (it will say on the computer that it has one ie. wi-fi enabled).

Go to the start menu - Connect to a Network and click the network you want to connect to (then if it's security enabled you'll need to enter the WPA/WEP code) then off you go.
