I don't have a wireless router/modem to be sure, but you can test for 
yourself.  As I said, Ubuntu LiveCD (and most others) lets you try the 
whole distribution by running it from memory before/if you decide to 
install it to disk.  You can test its DHCP features, NTFS reading of 
partitions (no writing in the LiveCD) and whatever.

Just be warned that the whole install probably requires a connection so 
that it can download and update security packages from the repositories. 
  It's a good thing too to download a few other things, like proprietary 
media codecs.
