you are still getting your nickers in a twist dude.
1) Wifi and wireless are the same thing and are interchangeable terms.
2) The wifi capability of the PC is not exclusive to the PC as all mobile devices can connect via wifi. You should disable the wireless adaptor on your pc and only use a wired connection to the shub.
3) The router maintains your network for all devices regardless of how they connect. You need to understand that the printer and it's connection is completely independent of your PC and neither rely on one another to work. The fact that both are connecting to the shub wirelessly is immaterial. If your PC is blown up the printer will still work quite happily and any networked devices such as another laptop somewhere in the house will be able to connect to the printer and the printer will still print.
5) The printer is connected to the network via wifi to the router and that is the only thing which matters. All it cares about is the router and it doesn't matter if anything else is connected to the network, what type of devices they are or what they do. If any device wants to communicat with the printer it goes through the router.
