USB stands for Universal Serial Bus.
A USB wireless adapter is an external wireless adapter that fits into your USB slot.
A wireless adapter gets your internet connection... wirelessly... instead of using a network cable.
your USB wireless adapter would have an end that looks like this:

it plugs in via usb ( usually on the front and back of computers. a rectangular shape) versus having to take the side panel off and installing a PCI card
its usually okay to get a USB one as long as you are in close proximity to the wireless router, otherwise, get the PCI ones.

A Wireness NIC (Network Interface Card) that plugs into the USB port of your computer.
