wireless router hooks up to your modem and sends a wireless signal. wireless card hooks up to your computer and receives the signal allowing you to get on the internet.
You have to have both if you want to work wirelessly. If you have a laptop the chances are it probably already has a wireless card in it. So you probably want to start with a wireless router.

A wireless card is the reciever for your computer. The wireless router is the device that your computer connects too. You can not have a wireless network without both.

Yes, the card is for your workstation (laptop or desktop) and the other is for your internet connection (modem). The router supplies the wireless connection, and the card uses it.
