What is awireless router?
A wireless router is a device in a wireless local area network (WLAN) that determines the next network point to which a packet should be forwarded toward its destination. A wireless router works in the same way as the router in a hard-wired home or business local area network (LAN), but allows greater mobility for notebook or portable computers. The individual computers are equipped with small wireless transceivers that can be plugged into either a Universal Serial Bus (USB) port or a PC Card slot.
Is the ISP the same as the network for a computer?
Not usually. Typically "network" is referred to as being your home network. This includes any computers you have wired to a router or any wireless computers accessing your wireless access point (can be the same as your router) if you have one. The ISP is the company that provides you access to the internet. This is a typical setup where "network" is anything that is connected to the left of the modem. Computer -> DSL/Cable Modem -> ISP -> Internet
What is the difference between access point and wireless bridge?
A wireless Access Point (AP) connects a group of wireless stations to an adjacent wired (Typically, Ethernet) LAN. An AP is like an Ethernet hub - except that a hub relays LAN frames only to other 802.3 stations, whereas an AP relays 802.11 frames to all other 802.11 or 802.3 stations in the same subnet. (In English: "it allows communication between wired and wireless..") A wireless router connects a group of wireless stations to an adjacent wired (Typically, Ethernet) LAN. A wireless router is a wireless AP combined with an Ethernet router. A wireless router forwards IP packets between your wireless subnet and any other subnet. Most routers also have a built-in firewall, and built-in Ethernet ports. (In English: same as an AP, but you can network different subnets or networks (Example: your home network and the Internet [Modem also required typically!] )
What device will allow both wireless and wired computers to connect to the same network modem transceiver server or a wireless router?
The use of a router that supports both wireless and wired connections would solve the problem, if I understand properly. Make sure it is a ROUTER, not a switch or a modem.
How do you connect two computers without Internet to play games on a LAN etc if they are running Windows Vista and if you have a Linksys router?

What performance will you get with a wireless G card and an N router?
The same as with wireless G card and G router.
Getting the Most From an Wireless Router N?
A wireless router "N" has one of the fastest speeds available. It is more costly than the basic wireless router speed of "G". To ensure getting the fastest speed, be sure both the wireless router and wireless card have the same speed. Most laptops with built in wireless cards only have a speed of "G". The network runs at the slowest speed that is being used. An upgraded card may be needed.
What hardware is required for a wireless computer?
The computer itself must have a wireless adapter to connect to wireless networks. It is also necessary to have a wireless router, which must support the same kind of wireless communication as the adapter(a,b,g,n), although an ad-hoc network can be set up with only two computers and no router.
