In the 1990s, internet dial up connections were the big thing. Today, wireless is the new big thing when it comes to connecting to the internet. A wireless network has many advantages over early internet connections, and over current dial up connections, because of its great versatility. If you have a laptop, having a wireless internet connection in your house will be a real convenience because you can connect to the internet anywhere in your home.
A wireless network is, as you might think, an internet network that you can connect to without the use of wires. Usually there is a centralized internet connection that does require cables, but if you connect a router to that connection you can route the internet network throughout your home. In other words, if you have wifi capabilities on your computer you can connect to the internet no matter where you are in your home, assuming that the signal is strong enough.
Usually wireless connections require a password, which is an important safety precaution to take. If someone gets into your wireless network they can steal internet from you and possibly steal information. So, the password keeps out intruders, but it is also not much of an inconvenience. This is because you usually only need to put in the password once to log into the network, and once it recognizes your computer you will no longer have to log on except for rare occasions. Thus, the password provides minimum inconvenience for increased security.
Another great thing about wireless networks is that you can access them at many different places. If your laptop is able to receive wireless signals, you can connect to the internet at different restaurants and places that advertise that they have a wireless network. Thus, if you want to enjoy a coffee at a coffee shop at the same time that you check your email in the morning, you can. You can even enjoy a fast food hamburger while Surfing the internet at some chain restaurants. Thus, wireless networks are propping up everywhere, and it is good to be familiar with the technology so that you can take advantage of it.
