i am going to get sky broadband and i'm wondering about that^ because the phone line socket is on the ground floor and my pc on the first floor. no other pc to share connection with right now but might get a laptop in the future.

No you do not need to connect the Wireless router to a PC for it to work. You will want to connect it directly for the initial router configuration. Once you have the router configured, you will no longer need to have a PC connected to it, unless you want to edit the configuration.

The wireless router recieves and transmits data between your PC and the Internet. It is the mediator. It is one of the components of a wireless network. So yes you need it.

you can use long ethernet wire for the connection. however it will look ugly to lay on the floor. wireless is a better choice.

not really but you do have a little distance problem. if you plan to get more than one computer I would recommend a router though.
email if more help needed
