A wireless only router sends out a radio signal to all the devices, B, G and N bands. The computer/devices have to have a wirless card/dongle to work though. It only has the one ethernet port for the modem to connect to it.
A Wired only router is one that only has ethernet ports connecting it to the computers/devices. There is no radio transmitter in it.
Most routers have both now, usually 4 ethernet ports and the wireless radio as one, so you can connect wireless or wired devices to the router at the same time.
An example world be my older tower doesn't have a wireless card and I don't want to buy a USB wireless device so I can just use the ethernet cable to connect to the router while my Laptop connects wirelessly.
