A wired network would be more appropriate for home use than wireless if the user intends to use a desktop. If the purpose for the internet connection is only to use it on the desktop or one particular place and not in any part of the house, then wired network will be better. And if there is only going to be one or two users not a number of users, wired network will be better.

How data can be transferred using wired and wireless methods?
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.
What device will allow both wireless and wired computers to connect to the same network modem transceiver server or a wireless router?
The use of a router that supports both wireless and wired connections would solve the problem, if I understand properly. Make sure it is a ROUTER, not a switch or a modem.
What is the name of the device that connects wireless devices to the wireless Local Area Networks to the wired Local Area Networks?
That would be a WAP - Wireless Access Point, which operates as a bridge between the two network types.

Why would you use wired networking to connect your computer?
Wired networking provides you with speeds up to 1,000Mbps where Wireless N tops out around 300Mbps. Wired also provides the end user with more security as your information is not being transmitted wirelessly. It is easier for people to gain access to your network through wireless.
How do I set up my household internet to be wireless?
Set up a network buy installing a router. From the router you will need network adapters for all the computers using the wireless connection. Most of these materials come in a package you would need to buy to set up wireless. An alternative to routers, access points allow wireless networks to join an existing wired network.
In what circumstances would a network designer consider using wireless transmission media?
Wireless transmission is used when it is cheaper to install than wired cables, if portability is a major requirement, or when it is impractical or impossible to install cables
Why would your laptop need an Ethernet adapter?
If you ever plan to connect your laptop to a wired network, you will need an ethernet adapter. If you never plan to plug it in to a network or if you will always use wireless, an ethernet adapter is not necessary.
Can you connect a wireless access point to a two-desktop wired network by cable and access a wireless laptop without connecting via the Ethernet port?
No, why would you? I suggest just buying a wireless PCI card for the two desktops. It would make life much more easier. You can, what you need is a wireless router... this will allow you to have approximatly 4 ethernet ports and wireless access to your network, but look in your manual to make sure you encrypt the data so as to protect from wireless predators...
Can wireless and wired routers be combined and used together?
Under most circumstances, there would be no need to do this. All wireless routers have plugs in the back of them to hook up wired devices which can be used in conjunction with the wireless signal.
What is the difference between access point and wireless bridge?
A wireless Access Point (AP) connects a group of wireless stations to an adjacent wired (Typically, Ethernet) LAN. An AP is like an Ethernet hub - except that a hub relays LAN frames only to other 802.3 stations, whereas an AP relays 802.11 frames to all other 802.11 or 802.3 stations in the same subnet. (In English: "it allows communication between wired and wireless..") A wireless router connects a group of wireless stations to an adjacent wired (Typically, Ethernet) LAN. A wireless router is a wireless AP combined with an Ethernet router. A wireless router forwards IP packets between your wireless subnet and any other subnet. Most routers also have a built-in firewall, and built-in Ethernet ports. (In English: same as an AP, but you can network different subnets or networks (Example: your home network and the Internet [Modem also required typically!] )
