What are the disadvantages of wireless communication from wired communication?

Answer 1

Can have low area coverage, and only 1/10 of the speed as the physical line.
Interference, reliability, and security.
The following are some disadvantages of a wireless network:

• Signals can suffer from other signals
• To access the networks, you have to be within a certain range
• The wireless networks can be quite slow
• It is easy for hackers to hack or catch the signal

Answer 2

A terrestrial wireless link is less secure and less reliable and for long distance links there is a shortage of spectrum space. A satellite link is superior to wire for long distances, but is more expensive for purely local use.

Answer 3

One disadvantage of Wireless Networking is that the speed (Mbps) of it can (Not always depending on the modem and network) be slower than wired connection. Also it has some security risks of people connecting to your network and doing malicious things. Also interferance can effect it such as phones and microwaves.

Answer 4

Hi, for those who dose not know the disadvantages of a wireless connection, I would like to tell the answer.

Having wireless could be bad, other users (i.e: neighbours), they could get into your router if you have it unlocked, or having a easy password.

without notes your ISP will sent you note about that much cost for example. And you say to yourself 'I did not even use that much'. That why you never sell out your wireless detials unless you know what you are fully doing.

Now days, people just can't trust. Whatever they say will be turned into fakeness. Just set your password like 'my dogs name is sam, he lives in that small house. he eat alot and makes a lot of s**t around my house' with out the quote.

Answer 5

Drawbacks of Wireless LANsCost:In environments with installed wiring or less demanding wiring needs, the up front costs of adopting a wireless LAN system can be more expensive than with wired LANs. Interoperability:There are several competing technologies used by wireless LAN vendors to communicate data between hardware, with no ability for communication directly between systems using these different standards. Interference:Most of the wireless devices today operate on 2.4-GHz radio bands, which are also used by cordless phones and most microwave ovens. The potential for interference when used near other devices sharing the same frequency band. Speed:Most commonly used wireless LAN products are rated for a maximum 11Mbps throughput, and in practice see speeds about 80% less than this - some wireless LAN products are rated for speeds much less than this (HomeRF systems for example). Still quite speedy for most network needs and for broadband internet sharing, but for larger offices with high network traffic and demands for speed, this should be taken into consideration.

Answer 6

-Shorter range than wired connections

-More prone to interferences

-Several wireless networks can interfere with each other

Answer 7

Some of the disadvantages of the wireless computer network includes the following:

-bandwidth issues

-complex configuration in terms of security

-distance issues
