Wired internet is where a physical wire is connecting you to the internet, such as a Ethernet cable going into the Ethernet port on the back of your computer. Wireless internet uses digital radio signals in the air to transfer data from a wireless router to a computer with a wireless adapter (built in or external)

"A wired router has to be plugged into your computer, or whatever you are wanting connect to the internet via an ethernet cable. A wireless router sends the internet signal to your device. It is similar to the way a wireless phone works. The wireless router can also be used as a wired router. The wired router is more secure and faster than the wireless router, but the wireless is easier to set up. You can also use multiple devices on a wireless router."
