Frank:  There are no wireless cards in the desktops.  The Meraki unit is 
a $50 unit that I had left over from an attempt to convince our local 
city government to move forward with a community initiative for low-cost 
community wireless mesh network.  It has one port that is supposed to 
plug into Internet device (in this case, my DHCP/DSL device).  If I use 
it to extend reach of wireless cloud around home, I can impress 
neighbors and possibly stir interest in mesh networking.  Does that make 
sense?
