Can I connect wifi and network cable simultaneously to one wifi router?

As not all of the pc and laptop that needs to connect to the router has a wifi card, I'm hoping to connect some using the network cables. Is that possible? Is there any particular type of wifi router required?

If you're wireless router/access point has ethernet ports, then, yes. All you need to do is plug it in.
