I am using a dial up modem with 230.4kbps.
Question: Will a wireless router/Wifi Home Net work boost up the
DATA TRANSFER RATE?
QUESTION: WHAT WILL BE THE DATA TRANSFER RATE CONNECTING THE dial up modem with 230.4kbps to a WIRELESS ROUTER WIFI NETWORK USING a WIRELESS DELL 1390 LAN CARD?

NO! Any Dial-up connection will not help any transfer rate! The only transfer rate your wireless home net would get is transfer of files from one computer in the network to another! What you are seeking is a High speed connection all the way around! Ethernet (Cable/DSL/Wifi) will give you those fast rates you are seeking and it will also work at the same rate for all computers on your network! So if you want to come out of the turtle slow Dial-up then join the rest of us on High Speed! Once you go High Speed you will never look back at Dial-up!

The fastest dial-up connection is 56k.
Your modem's DTE rate may be set to 230.4k (and it needs to be at least as fast as the DCE rate) but there's no way you're getting a dial-up connection anything faster than 56k -- and few folks will ever see anything that high, especially in the US where the rate is limited by the FCC to 53k.
In your situation with a dial-up connection you have no need for wireless anything. A wireless router and NIC would be a waste of money as they won't work with a dialup connection.
If you want to go wireless, you'll need a broadband connection -- typically DSL or cable modem based although there are other options as well in some areas.

The wireless speed is much higher than your internet connection, so that definately won't be a problem. The only difficulty you can have is if there is wireless interference in the area which can cause connection issues.

the transfer rate between systems on your network will depend on the hardware that is installed on those systems. if you have 2 computers on your home network that both have 100MB NIC cards installed the link between them can handle 100 mbps but that is not the rate at which the network traffic will actually flow between them..
are you in the US? because there is no dial-up service in the US that offers rates of 230 Kbps

Dialup doesnt run at 230.4 Kbps.A router will not boost speed.
