Elementary newbie question

[Ted <ted99@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is probably a completely inane question.

I want to connect my pc to the internet through a cable 
connected linksys wrt160n and then occasionally use a laptop 
with a wireless connection to the internet via the linksys 
when the pc is switched off.

When the laptop is off and the only connection to the 
internet is through the pc cable connected linksys, is the 
linksys still broadcasting?
