A router whether wireless or not needs a physical connection to the BT line and
power which will place restrictions on the location you can install it. If the
router is not wireless you will also need an RJ45 cable or USB cable link it to
your PC with consequent restriction upon cable length.
Having discussed above that you need a physical connection to your BT line, a
wireless router typically has RJ45 or USB connection for PCs in addition to
it's wireless capabilities. You can use either or both the wired and unwired
methods for hooking your PC to is, and could set up a wireless router and only
use the wireless portion of it's connecting capabily without using it's USB or
RJ45 ethernet. Your Wireless Modem/Router and the USB adaptor assuming it's
what I think it is will allow to connect one PC wirelessly using the USB
wireless dongle to the router and allow you to configure the router remotely
via wireless, in fact I do this quite a lot because one of those I have is a
floor down attached to a Macintosh which I rarely touch. The only problem with
an all wireless arrangement is when something goes wrong during setup of your
wireless security and etc. You would need to be careful that after setting up
security you on the router that you have it taken down ready to enter into the
wireless adaptor otherwise you will loose contact with the router. Having the
option even temporarily to use ethernet is desirable.

Yeah, but does the router in question need to be wireless.

The router needs to be near enough to connect to a BT point, if one of your
PCs lacks wireless it will in turn need to be near enough or have a cable run
of suitable length between it and the router. Those that have wireless
provided they are still within range will be OK.

Subject: [access-uk] wireless routers?
hi guys, may seem a very silly question, but I don't know too much about
wireless routers.
With a wireless router on my system, do I still need a bt telephone box
in
my bedroom, if I want to move my computer system into my bedroom.
It is a dsl connection for my broadband.
All I want to do is move my equipment to another room in my house.
