A network interface card (NIC) typically has a physical connection to a network, such as Ethernet or wireless. This connection allows the NIC to communicate with other devices on the network.
A wireless router is a device that performs the functions of a router but also includes the functions of a wireless access point and a network switch.In essence, it allows you to connect to the router without an Ethernet cable and have access to the internet.
This is assuming that there is no outside access to the Ethernet network such as a Internet connection. If there were then firewalls would be needed to prevent a outside intrusion of the network. In addition to physical access security, a wireless network requires authentication and encryption to prevent unauthorized devices from connecting to the wireless network or capturing and decoding the data that is being transferred via a wireless network connection. If the wireless network has outside WAN access then you would also need firewalls as with the Ethernet network.
