What are you talking about? You're statement isn't making much sense. So, you have a WiFi wireless router. It's all setup with a wireless network, and everything. Then you connect your laptop to the router via Ethernet cable and it all works. But when you unhook the Ethernet cable, it doesn't work? If that's the case, then you don't have the WiFi setup. You should be able to connect to the router via wireless with your laptop provided it's setup correctly, and you have a WiFi enabled laptop (standard these days).
What I would suggest you do, is connect your laptop to the router, and configure it from scratch again. Setting up wireless networking, etc.
Then Disconnect your laptop from the router, eneble your wireless on your laptop, and connect to the router over wireless as per the settings you specified when you setup the router.
Your router should have the WAN / Internet / External (all depends on brand of router as to how they lable the connection) cable connected to your xDSL / Cable Modem at all times.

There are two cables: the Ethernet cable (which came with the router) and i internet cable (which i have been using before i had the router) the internet cable in connected from the laptop to the router and the Ethernet cable is connected from the modem to the router. When i unplug the internet cable from the back of the laptop to use it wireless it says no connections are available .
How would i enable the wireless on my laptop?
do you know the name of your WIFI network ?
do you know the passcode to your WIFI network?
You probably have your wireless card switched off on your laptop, what laptop do you have? what specific model ??
Answer these please and you will see the light soon.

Your laptop has 2 ways to connect to the internet, Using the ethernet patch cable or using the WIFI method.
when you connect the ethernet cable to your laptop you're actually connecting it straight to a "Network Card", when you are using the WIFI method you are actually using a Wireless card inside your laptop. You can open your laptop to see them if you want to
