I
believe that wireless networks
represent one of the most
significant inventions in human
history – almost as important as
sliced bread.
Now, seriously, bread is
certainly easy enough to cut
yourself, but try to wire up a
network and you will think of
this invention in a different
way.
Just to make the whole picture
clearer for you, let me give you
five reasons why using a
wireless network is definitely
worth it.
Sharing Web Access
With wireless networking, you
can easily and cheaply share one
single Internet connection among
different computers, without
having to use more modems. If
that wasn’t enough, you can even
include new computers in your
network only by using a wireless
card and switching them on to
have an immediate Internet
connection! Not many wired
networks would be able to do
that.
Sharing Printers and Files
A
wireless network guarantees
access to your files regardless
of where you are within your
house, and with a home computer
it also facilitates the
synchronization of data on a
laptop. Using wireless networks
makes it so much simpler to send
files between computers as
compared to the traditional
emails or CDs.
Moreover, if your printer is
connected, you can write your
documents anywhere you want and
finally print them through a
printer connected to another
computer. In other words, a
printer plugged into one of the
computers on the network is
available to all the computers
saving you the expense of having
multiple printers at home.
Playing Games Online
As
might have already seen, games
have often the option to play
over a LAN. As previously
mentioned, wireless networks are
LANs, meaning that people can
play together without having to
be physically near each other.
Isn’t it more exciting to play
with your family and friends
instead of unknown people on the
Internet and be able to make the
whole game work much faster?
Actually, you can even ask your
friends to bring their own
computers in and join a
thrilling 'LAN party'!
With wireless networking you can
easily connect any games you
wish to play to the Internet,
and start playing online.
Playing online with a wirelessly
connected to Xbox or PlayStation
2 is definitely simpler than
having to use your modem for
connection all the time.
Always On Access
What made the spread of
broadband possible was that it
let Internet connections be
constantly on, eliminating the
need of dialing in all the time.
With wireless networking,
network connections are always
on, so that every time you wish,
any of your computers is able to
connect to the Internet!
Regardless of where you take
your laptops to within your
home, they will have instant
access! Moreover, wireless
networks offer you the
convenience of eliminating
usernames and password systems,
as they operate without logging
in. Talk about convenience!
No
More Wire Running Everywhere!
Being able to eliminate wires
from running all over your house
is probably the biggest reason
why you should turn your network
to wireless. Believe me, you
will be so pleased when you get
rid of problematic, costly, ugly
and unsafe wires.
Although the average Ethernet
wire doesn't cost much, once
you've bought the necessary
quantity to do what you need to
do, but getting everything you
need for a wired LAN it adds up
quickly.
Plus, whenever you wish to have
wires running between rooms or
floors, you are forced to have
holes in the walls, which might
not even possible if the house
is not yours.
Many people living in rented
apartments have to limit their
network to a particular room
until they finally decided to
switch to wireless allowing them
to even take their computers
outside, if they wish to!
Using wireless networks also
enables you to have more safety,
as there is no danger of
tripping over uncovered wires.
Furthermore, if you are moving,
you do not have to pack all the
wires up and re-connect them
again. Finally, with wireless
networks there’s no need for you
to check every single wire if
your Internet connection doesn’t
work.
