This is an open ended question.  Are you saying is it better to hard wire directly into the cable modem?  Or is it better to use wireless to use the cable modem?\n\nWhere I am at, my cable modem tops out at 6Mpbs.  My hard wired Ethernet connection to it from my PC is 100Mbps.  My wireless is 54Mbps.\n\nSo it really doesn't matter since the maximum speed to the Internet is only 6Mbps.  Neither one will seem faster and I have no doubt you wouldn't see the difference either.  If you get a good signal with no interference, then go with wireless.

I prefer using ethernet hub. Hardwire your computer to the isp means not having to worry about there being a bad signal in the room. So if you haven't already, buy an ethernet hub.

Well at the moment the frequency that microwaves use (2.4GHz) is the best one for wireless. But in about a year (or two) wireless will be using better frequencies that don't interfere with phones. For now you can get 802.11a routers and cards which work on a lower frequency. The one drawback of those is that they interfere with older phones and the speed is slower.

here are some: PC's, internet conection, small network... do you want to provide wireless service for customers that have their own laptops?? are u gonna serve food, drinks?? r u gonna charge for usage time? may need some software to check that...

Wireless is the most common internet network currently but in the very near time Wi-Fi will be the best!

friend, hardwiring is more secure and much faster period. Wireless is ok, I used to do it and then got sick of it's problems. I also know what I'm doing because I have been an IT Consultant for years.\n\nSeriously, do you absolutely need wireless? Break out the drill and run some cat 5 cables to a router. You can get 50 foot cables on ebay for about $15 each and guess what? I guarantee your problems will go away.

You are comparing two different systems.  Wireless routers are designed to set up network connectivity between computers.  DSL and Cable modems are used to provide high speed internet access.\n\nDepending on your hardware, you should be able to set up a wireless network to allow your computers to talk to one another on the same network.  \n\nIf you wanted to provide internet access, you could use DSL or Cable for high speed access.  You could also use Internet Connection Sharing on Windows to allow multiple computers to use a Dial Up connection.  It will be slow, but it is functional.

Yes, you can connect wired devices to the wired ports in addition to wireless connections.  They can all operate at once on the router.  Of course the wired computers ignore any wireless security settings.

A file server is really only necessary for the second thing you mentioned, which is storing files centrally. Everything else can be accomplished with a wireless router.\n\nThe real advantage to having a server setup, beside central file location, is central user management. In other words, you can set up user privileges, access, data locations, etc. from a central place. When they login anywhere, the settings will apply automatically.

If you already have an Ethernet connection, then just buy a Wireless Bridge. You may need to also buy a LAN Switch (to allow you to plug in as well.) \nHave a look at the price of both, as it may be cheaper to buy a new Modem with both Wired and Wireless connections.\n\nAs for the connection, You should not see any slow down at your wired end . The wireless connection, will be slightly slower but not by much!

The difference is relative. Bluetooth is very short range stuff whereas Wireless connects to longer distances. Regular wireless is what you want to connect to the net when at home or at Starbucks(basically places which list as WiFi available!!), Bluetooth on the other hand is used to communicate with your personal devices like cell phones, Organizers, Printers which have a similar capability. \nIf you have a bluetooth cell phone then you can download cool stuff on it like new ring-tones, wallpapers etc without paying anyone anything(the formats change from cell phone to cell phone so just google it up and you can get a specific website!!) Try looking for Bluetooth devices on the net.

Wireless Security exists. \nSecurity can be provided even in the wireless communication through proper encryption.

look for 802.11g routers they are faster than 802.11b. look for one with long range it might be useful. Usually the more antennas the bigger the range.

I don't think so, wireless network has nothing to do with the content you see in a PSP. I the PSP you use a wireless conection only to surf the internet,see your RSS files and download some stuff. Recently they launched a device for the PSP that is for seeing it's screen on the TV, so maybe inthe future there will be something like that for a computer.(I don't understand why would you want to play your PSP on a bigger screen that the one it alredy haves, that's the idea of the "Play station PORTABLE"

Bluetooth is slow and has a very short range, so it's really only useful for devices that are always close, such as keyboards and mice. It can be usedfor most noral prining jobs too. It's probably most popular for wireless cell phone headsets. It's not good for file transfers or internet, though, given its slow speed. That's what WiFi is for.
