Go Wireless

Wireless networking is allowing more and more people the freedom to use their computers wherever they like and still enjoy a fast Internet connection anywhere in the house or office. Imagine shopping online in the kitchen, listening to your favourite Internet radio in the bedroom or maybe checking your email in the garden. Wireless networking lets you choose where you want to work or play, you are no longer restricted to using the Internet in the spare room or home office.

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.

Wireless networks offer the following advantages over traditional wired networks:

• Mobility - you can roam around within the wirless network without getting disconnected

• Installation speed and simplicity - installing a wireless system can be fast and easy and can eliminate the need to pull cable through walls and ceilings.

• Reach of the network - the network can be extended to places which cannot be wired
