What should be the throughput of wifi module for 2MP Full HD IP camera to use its full capability if we are making a wifi IP camera??

I would guess 4Mb/s assuming a full 30fp stream. This depends on the camera manufacturer, the scene complexity, the streaming mode used, etc. (as reviewed here: Advanced Camera Bandwidth Test Results). However, 4Mb/s is a common level though I've seen 2MP/30fps cameras spike up to 12Mb/s at night or in high motion.

I do not understand your questions. What functionalities would you suppose might be turned off when used on WiFi?
