It must be wired to your router. After it is connected to your router it may be accessed through wireless if you have a wireless router.

I would say no, you need to plug it in close to the router at first plus you need the security password to the router.

No - it will need to have the PC plugged directly into it. it's likely that your laptop has an ethernet port though, so you should be able to plug that into this.

This makes your computer able to receive wifi signal. You will still need a wireless router box, depending on which internet provider you use. If you are using a laptop, it should already have a wireless adapter and you won't need to purchase this. If you are using an older desktop, you will probably need an adapter like this one, in addition to the wireless router.

Modem is required only if you're connecting to the internet. If you're connecting just to other computer(s), you don't need a modem. This router will connect to any network-ready wired ir wirwless device(s).

The idea of "wired" to a router is not the issue. It requires access to an ip address. It can do that through a physical connection or through a wifi connection. It only requires a hard line at the time of set up, after that it acts as its own video server in either a wired or wireless environment assuming you have a wireless router in your network.

If you have a wireless router you don't connect the cable, otherwise you can connect this with the cable if you don't have a wireless router.

As long as your router and modem are wireless, no you don't need a physical connection.
