Question

Why do people think wireless internet is the wireless in a router when its wireless from outside of the house?

Answer 1

Probably because "wireless" can be really confusing.

Your question was ambiguous. "Wireless in a router" is typically 802.11 "Wi-Fi" networks sharing a local internet connection. That same wi-fi can be used by an ISP for connecting people to the internet. The range of this can sometimes mean you can pick up your neighbor's wi-fi.

Wireless can also mean data access over the cell phone network.
