Not sure what you mean by "Wireless Router".  If you are saying that you 
have a wireless router and that your computer has a card or an USB adaptor 
which you use to connnect to it, then you'll have to check on LInux 
compatibility for it. I don't know, I've not used Wireless at all, let 
alone under LInux.

As for your USB headset, if it is a standard USB audio device then it 
should work fine. Maybe try googling for logitech usb alsa

Yes.  You can then continue on to installation if you want to.

You can of course get the CD from ubuntu.com.
