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 wireless router settings can affect network security?

Key wireless router settings that can affect network security include enabling WPA3 or WPA2 encryption for the Wi-Fi network, which protects data transmission. Disabling the SSID broadcast can prevent unauthorized users from easily discovering the network. Additionally, changing the default admin username and password, as well as updating the router's firmware regularly, can protect against vulnerabilities and unauthorized access. Lastly, enabling features like MAC address filtering can add an extra layer of security by restricting which devices can connect to the network.
