Depends on your config and if you're able to get the wifi adaptor an IP. I've got a failover system set up with ddwrt so if my cable Internet goes down the 3G kicks over and resumes management of my entire network. But it's pretty involved and involves repeater bridge configurations.
Out for now...but not over.

It should work. If your desktop is able to broadcast a wifi hotspot, then should not be a problem.

Cool but how do I do this part???

Enabling the wifi feature
1. Start the RAGen software
2. On the “Features” tab, make sure the “Wifi” checkbox is selected.
3. Click “Save” button.
