It must note your MacOS version. If not, don't buy it.

just what are "wireless router usb plug ins"?

What USB plug ins does your wireless router have? Normally a wireless router would connect wirelessly to the iMac without the need for any plug ins

What kind of iMac is it?

The current flat panel iMacs (and G5 flat panels) include wireless LAN (Airport) built-in.

I think the G4 flat-panel iMac included it, too.

The original multi-color CRT iMacs of many years ago had wireless LAN (Airport) as an option.
