There's a big and small difference, the main one being, wired connections use a physical wire to connect the network or computers or what ever needs a connecting together.

A wireless connection uses an wireless connection to connect everything up.

The similarities, they both do the same job, connect things up. They both can connect multiply things up (wired is more difficult as you have wires to conceal and plug in).

The differences, wireless is less safe even though you can put a pass phrase or hide the SSID (the name of the wireless) it can still be 'tapped' in to, a wired connection you have to be physically plugging something into a wire, which is difficult to do and also not intelligent.

That's a basic explanation of the 2.

SSID stands for Service Set Identifier (ID coming from Identifier, and identification, Service Set is the device that is broadcasting the wireless signal).
