So dunno if this is possible, but anyway, my desktop is connected to the internet via wifi so not with a lan cable! Now I wanna know is it possible for me to share my wifi connection so that I can connect to desktops internet connection via my phone? Or would this require a second adapter.
 
Why don't you just connect with your phone to the router providing the internet connection to your PC, directly? Going via your PC seems a bit unnecessary?

I meant to say with my Wii U to PC, because I am having major problems with getting the Wii U connected to the router, I did a whole bunch of changes to settings on the router, and eventually got it to connect, but then next day I wanna play again and not wanting to connect again, it seems like I have to restart the router everytime I wanna connect with my Wii U, and the router is quite out of my way and a hassle to get to.

Asus have a few small routers that can create a wifi hot spot from a wifi connection.

WL-330 comes to mind. There are others as well.

Try this application. It works for Win7/8.
I think it can coexist with your current wifi connection, just give it a try.
It creates a Wifi hotspot on your pc's wifi adaptor. You can even do it from command line, but this makes it just easier to manage.

Do you mean to say Nintendo still only support WEP encryption and that it won't play well with WPA2?

It's my first console since a ps1, being mostly a pc gamer I felt like something a bit different, and ya nintendo games are just pure win.
