1) Cost of installing wired connections is much more than that of wireless\n\n2) Greater access to the intranet/internet.

Advantage\n\n1 connected to the world\n2 e-mail communication\n3 More control than television\n4 develops understanding of logical patterns\n5 could create own web site for the world to see\n6 multi-entertainment, music, video, stories\n7 full text of breaking news stories\n8 technology always improving\n9 hard drive prices have went down\n10 practice your typing\n\nDisadvantages\n\n1 could waste needless time surfing \n2 news stories biased\n3 too many sites listed in search engine\n4 some information not credible\n5  high speed connection cosly\n6 hard drive could be three generations old in one year\n7 not enough innovative thinking by computer corportations\n8 too many bugs in certain browsers\n9 too many high school students plagerize\n10 makes researching too easy and tough research is avoided

Think of it as a telephone with a cord attach to it. When you remove the cord from the picture, that is wireless technology. You can transport an electronic object without the need of having a wire attach to it to send data.

security.  You must have a security implementation of encryption otherwise you are sharing everything with anybody over the air.\nthat's the downside of wireless, unless you use WEP (at a minimum) or ideally WPA-PSK, WEP can still be cracked, but may not be worth the hackers time

802.11b and 802.11g both work under the 2.4ghz frequency range.  This means that they are inter-operable with each other.  All 802.11g devices can communicate with 802.11b devices.  The advantage of 802.11g is that you will be able to transfer files between computers or networks at much faster speeds.  \n\nIf you are using your wireless connection to transfer files around the home or office, whether it be data files, music, video, or voice, you want to go with the 802.11g.  With the home audio and theater moving to wireless networks, you want to be sure to have an 802.11g network setup in your home.  \n\nThis standard also allows for some manufactures to have devices working at speeds  up to 108mbps, which is recommended if you plan to transfer large data or audio files within your LAN.

Everything is going to be wireless soon. UWB will rule the world! \nI think having a wireless keyboard or mouse is needed only if you are sitting in your armchair and have a rather big monitor , otherwise just a gimmick!

Wireless is always going to be slower.. its transmitting through air. You really want to connect with an ethernet cable, it will be faster and more reliable.. that may mean having to string a long cable through the house though. \n\nYou may also want to consider either a signal booster, to increase the range and signal of the router, or even a newer router such as the pre-N 802.11n ones.

I will explain it for you. Connecting to a wireless network means you would not be using any physical media but the connection exists. However, when compared to wired, wireless is a bit slow. When you connect it to a different LAN then the downloads can get faster however it depends on the other users using this LAN. IF you are dedicating it only for downloads then a wireless connection would suffice. However, if you wish it is a bit slow, then I recommend you to go for the LAN.\n\nSreeVenkatesh.I

you can do everything that you could do witha cabled connection and usually it is faster but sometimes it can be slower due to interference.  You can also surf the net a little faster

Yes, there are several solution out there.  If you want to spend the bucks on a real good setup, I would go for a Bose wireless setup...pricey but worth it.

1. very secure{information can't be leaked}\n2. cheap except initial cost of installation.\n3. less interference.\n4. low attenuation{energy loss}

It depends on the use.  If it is going to be used for LAN, with multimedia interactions, the future network would be fiber.  If u look at the cost factor and flexibility in laying the cable, copper CAT-5 would be a cheaper and optimum solution.  But there may be limitations in multimedia communications.

External are more flexible down the road, internal wireless are harder to install.  Make sure the card and router support the same types of networks (802.11a, b, g)

Live and Learn.  Wireless network gear is dodgy at best.   Go with LinkSys next time. \n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!

Wireless communications have revolutionized the way we do everything. Wireless communications are important to me becuase it makes me more accessible when i need to be contacted by cell phone. As far as computing, a person can setup a network of computers with in minutes due to the fact that wires are no longer required. (Hope your just doing research for homework and not planning on plagerizing. Teachers are hip to the game and can search the yahoo answers database.)
