A wireless network provides all the functions of a typical "wired" network, but also provides for "roaming."

Reference Guide
Making Wireless Network Connections (select models only)
If your notebook includes a wireless on-off button, you can connect by radio to an
802.11 wireless local area network (LAN) and access computers and other resources
on the network.
A wireless network provides all the functions of a typical “wired” network, but also
provides for “roaming.” Since your notebook connects to the network by radio rather
than through cables, you can move from place to place within the network—from
your office to a conference room, for example—and remain on the network the
entire time.
To prepare for connections
Before you can connect your notebook to a particular 802.11 wireless network, you
have to configure the notebook for the specific wireless connection.
Connecting to an existing wireless network
You can connect to an access point that gives you access to a local area network, or
you can connect directly to other computers in an “ad hoc” network.
1.
Right-click the wireless network connection icon in the taskbar, then select View
Available Wireless Networks from the pop-up menu.
