As wireless
technology continues to develop with faster speeds and greater ranges
of
distance, it has become more popular. A wireless network is an ideal
way to overcome issues of running cables from computer to router,
in your finished home or office. It is also very handy for portable
computer users who can move around with their laptop and maintain a
connection to the Internet and network.

| Wireless-G is the upcoming 54Mbps wireless networking standard that's almost five times faster than the Wireless-B at 11Mbps. These increased speeds are more noticeable in transferring data across the LAN, since most ISP's service are still 5Mbps or less. Since they share the same 2.4GHz radio band, Wireless-G devices can also interoperate with existing 11Mbps Wireless-B equipment. | ||||
| Using wireless means you are sending your data over the open air waves. For secure data transmission you need to enable WEP (Wireless Encryption Protocol) and use passwords to access the wireless network. When you set up a wireless access point in your home or office, be sure to take the necessary steps to secure unwanted intruders who are channel surfing looking for a free ride on your Internet connection. | ||||
