You would of course need an internet connection from a dsl or cable modem. If you have a laptop, you will need either a built in wireless connection or purchase a wireless card or usb device to pick up the router. If you have a desktop PC you will need to buy a wireless pci adapter or a wireless usb device to connect.

You need either a WI FI modem, or a router with Wi Fi.

Then you need your WI FI Network Card.

Yes, you need a wireless router to emit the signal wirelessly so your computer's wireless card can pick up the signal.

Yes, you need either that or a Nintendo Wi-Fi USB satelite if we're talking about Nintendo Wi-fi.

If a signal is available for your computer (with wifi), then no router is needed. Otherwise, a wireless router will provide the signal you will need to operate wireless. Note: there are times when an outside signal is available and not accessible because it's secure and requires a password.
