There are only some types of computer that will connect to certain types of wireless networks. Notebooks can connect to wireless networks like laptops do; just make sure your router is picking up signals and that its appearing on your notebook.
That would be a WAP - Wireless Access Point, which operates as a bridge between the two network types.
Wireless networks are not laid out using the same topologies as wired networks. They have their own, different layouts. Smaller wireless networks, in which a small number of nodes closely positioned need to exchange data, can be arranged in an ad hoc fashion.
Various types of media to link networking are copper, fibre, wireless.

No, wireless networks tend to be slower than wired networks but they offer more range and you don't need a whole lot of wires. Wireless routers normally have Ethernet ports so you can have a mix of wired and wireless if you desire. The speed difference between the two is barely noticeable, well that's my opinion.

Wired networks have a wire that connects them to an internet port, wireLESS networks do not.
The IEEE standard used for wireless networks is IEEE 802.11. This standard encompasses various protocols for wireless local area networks (WLANs), commonly known as Wi-Fi. Different amendments within 802.11, such as 802.11n, 802.11ac, and 802.11ax, define specifications for speed, range, and performance enhancements in wireless connectivity.
