Wireless Internet

Ever wonder why americans are so into wireless technology? It is because of the obvious reason that it is convenient. Yes, imagine using your computer and getting online without all those cables and cords attached at the back of your computer going to your modem or router. Isn't it great? You can roam around the house or your office without hassles. You can go the rest room and bring your laptop with you. Wow! Such a wonderful thing a technology can do. It will really ease the life of people who cannot live without computers. There are companies who managed to come up with a product that satisfy the need for wireless Internet, some of them are the following: Cisco, Linksys, Belkin and Netgear. Most of the companies I mentioned are based in the USA. They have created what we call wireless routers. If you are not familiar with the term, routers are devices that is capable of making multiple computers get online at the same time, what made it more interesting is the fact that it is wireless. It has an external antenna which is the one responsible for broadcasting the wireles signal. Of course, you also need to make sure that the computer you are using has a wireless capability. If it is not a wireless computer, you can just purchase a wireless adapter and install it on the computer. You can then get online wirelessly, no more cables or cords needed. I suggest you try it out and experience how convenient it is to have a wireless connection at home, at your office or just anywhere.

In my next post, I will teach you how to configure a wireless router, and it is for free. Yes, most technicians would normally charge you just for configuring your device. By the way, below is a picture of what we call wireless router (just incase you have not seen one). Happy surfing!
