Answer

All devices that do not have a wired connection (use an Ethernet or 56k phone line) to connect to the internet are considered to be wireless. They connect to the internet by have a wireless adapter. It is a piece of hardware that lets them send and receive packets of data. They send and receive packets of data to a wireless router. That wireless router is plug into internet via a cable (usually an Ethernet cable). By connect to the router you connect to the internet.

When you setup your wireless router it broadcast a signal. That signal is detected by devices such as your Ipad. Your Ipad knows that its your router because of your router's unique network name or SSID (Service Set Identifier).

You should always encrypt your home network so that neighbors and malicious people cannot use it. You don't want these people to gain access to your network because they can potentially see what your doing online.
