No , A router is not required for connecting two computers on the same Local Area Network . We can configure an Ad-Hoc Network by going to the Wireless Settings on one of the computers and simply connect the other one to the created Ad-Hoc network.
You need an inexpensive device called a router. This is basically a box that goes between your DSL or cable modem and all of your Internet devices (computers, HDTV, and so on). The router shares the Internet signal between the multiple devices. Every device on the Internet needs a unique IP address. Your ISP provides you with one, allowing one device to access the Internet. A router will access the Internet through that IP address, then provide local IP addresses--not visible on the Internet--for the PCs and other devices connected to it. This allows you to access the Internet from multiple computers through one connection. That arrangement has another advantage.
