What are the Benefits of Wireless Broadband?
Wireless internet allows you to get rid of all the mess of having network cables laying all around the office and home. A wireless connection also allows you to print from any room, or PC, in the house. Having a Wi-Fi connection also means that everyone in your home can connect to the internet at the same time without having to run unsightly wires around your house. You get the same high-speed broadband connection, wirelessly.
So there must be Disadvantages of Wireless Broadband?
There are many press reports that say wireless is bad for you, as rumours say that the signal given off by any wireless device can be harmful. However, scientists state that there is no real threat from wireless signals and they are perfectly safe.
There is one slight disadvantage to wireless broadband, which is that your internet Wi-Fi connection may not be as fast as with the original cables, as you do not have a direct link to the phone line. However, this is such a slight difference that you would never notice it.
How do I go Wireless?
A Wireless network is perfect for homes with more than one desktop or laptop computer that need to connect to the Internet. It will allow you to set–up up a computer in a room where a wired solution is not an option and it is a quick and easy way to share your Internet connection. You have the option of either buying your own router, which if you're confident with computers will give you much more choice, or you can get one direct from your internet provider which will arrive pre-configured and with security.
