Do you have to connect and Ethernet with connection to internet into the back of a Wireless Router, or can you use an Access Point to get the internet to it via Wireless?

Do you mean, do you have to wire up an Ethernet cable from your modem to the router to get the wireless internet, or go wireless from the modem to the router?

Usually, you use an Ethernet cable from the modem to the back of the router for speed advantages, however you can use two routers and bridge the connections "wirelessly" but that can really slow down the network. It is usually best to have all of your access points hard wired to the point of presence, where your modem is, for speed advantages.
