if you wanted to connect the Touch to the laptop wirelessly without going through the router, you can do it. You need to create an ad hoc network through the network and connections facility (in Win7 at least). Name it something meaningful, like "Touch". If the Touch is already connected to the home network (the router) you may not get it to see the new ad hoc network without turning off the router temporarily, but it may work without doing that (the Boom won't). Once it's connected through the ad hoc network you should be able to work it just as if it was connected through the router to the laptop. Of course, if the router strategy works, that is probably the best and most flexible.
I use the ad hoc network setup when I travel on vacation. I take a Boom, and set up my netbook with my music and LMS, and link to the Boom. Works like a charm. Fine music on the deck watching the ocean. Of course, no point in playing lossless files on the Boom, so I take the lossy copy (at very high bit rates). Besides, all those lossless files wouldn't fit on my netbook's hard drive.
