Norton Bootable Recovery/Repair(?) Tool - what kind of internet connection?

There was a post in another forum stating that NBRT needs a wired internet connection for best results:

See item number 6, in this:  http://malwaretips.com/threads/antivirus-rescue-cd-usb-bootable-tools-of-scanning-and-removal-of-malwares.32170/

What if making a physical wire to computer WIRED internet connection is impossible because of physical restrictions on position and wirelength of equipment?  Would a wireless/wifi connection be possible?

Also, what is the proper naming:  Recovery Tool, or Rescue Tool?
