    Wireless broadband is broadband that comes into your house without wires, you get a receiver unit that you can either plug into or connect to wirelessly.

    All wired broadband (using your telephone line) can be used wirelessly as well. You also get a little box that plugs into your telephone socket to which you can connect with wires or wirelessly depending on the type of little box you get.

    That's what 'wireless router' means.

    Or you can get Mobile Internet using phone company 3G/HSDPA/Edge/GPRS (nearly nationwide), or IBB Ripwave nearly mobile internet ( some areas) or Digiweb Flash Mobile (Finglas area, Nationwide later).

    Any system can be connected via a WiFi Router (Wireless Hotspot).
