Wifi is the form of wireless normally used with computers and gadgets like palm pilots.  Some people are getting interested in using it to send music, pictures and video from their computer to their sound systems and TVs, and I'm assuming this is what you're into.  Wifi is very popular because anything certified on the same wifi standard has to work together perfectly, no matter what company makes it, so you don't have to think about it.  Wifi is most useful within a range of 150 feet.  You'll probably use only 802.11 b and g.  B and g are the most popular wifi standards, and they work together. \n\nEverything you want connected to your wireless network will need a wireless card.  Your TV / sound system probably won't have one already, so you'll need an adaptor for them, like this.\nhttp://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Product_C2&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1115416830950&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper

Wireless access has always been , for me, quite benign, such as within the school level, or airports with people wanting to send that last detail of their flight itenerary. \nThere are ways of securing your homes wireless access.

Wi-Fi (also WiFi, Wi-fi, Wifi, or wifi) is a brand originally licensed by the Wi-Fi Alliance to describe the underlying technology of wireless local area networks (WLAN) based on the IEEE 802.11 specifications. Wi-Fi is now so pervasive, and the term so generic, that the brand is no longer protected and it appears in Webster's dictionary.\n\nLots more info. at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wifi

You are right 802.13 has not been used. I can only think of two reasons. The technology looked good at first but then was found to flawed to be used or too similar to another 802 protocol. The other is they may have skipped 13 out of superstition.

If you are just looking for a good all around wireless card. I would recommend a Linksys. They are cheap, easy to setup and very compatible. Good range, and it's not going to shorten your battery life.

Discovering a router signal from 1/2 mile away is simple.\n\nThe real problems start when you try to get your  wireless card to send a "mouse click" on a 1/2 mile hike back to that router.\n\nNot saying it can't be done, in fact it's done every day by major corporations, municipalities, government agencies and others with tons of cash to burn. \n\nSave your money, time and sanity. Sign up with a service provider.

I have done tech support for some good-sized companies, and you'd be surprised how many people fail to turn on the wireless antenna in their laptops!  SOMEWHERE on that machine you'll find a switch; if you don't already know where it is, look up the machine's spec's online.  As to finding locations - try http://www.wi-fihotspotlist.com/

pcmcia would work better than usb.  get one with an external antenna and make a new one http://www.turnpoint.net/wireless/cantennahowto.html\ncantennas have crazy range.  something i would try first though is get yourself a set of high gain antennas for your router, that may give you the boost you need, or get a repeater, that will take the wireless signal and boost it to get better range.  another thing you can try is change the wireless channel, it may be getting interference from a nearby access point or cordless phone or even wireless mouse, just play around with the settings and see what you can figure out.

WiFi - wireless networking.\n\nA feature most current laptops have built in.  Most have a slide switch to tur on/off the feature.  Others are controlled through the operating system.\n\nIf your workplace has a wireless network then your laptop can join the network and you will be able to do work just like on your normal desktop pc.\n\nIf you are travelling then there are lots of Cafes, Stations and other place where they offer wireless internet services.  You can use your laptop to access the internet whereever you are.\n\nDo bear in mind that nothing is free.  Most services you will have to pay for.

The term wireless networking refers to technology that enables two or more computers to communicate using standard network protocols, but without network cabling. Strictly speaking, any technology that does this could be called wireless networking. The current buzzword however generally refers to wireless LANs. This technology, fuelled by the emergence of cross-vendor industry standards such as IEEE 802.11, has produced a number of affordable wireless solutions that are growing in popularity with business and schools as well as sophisticated applications where network wiring is impossible, such as in warehousing or point-of-sale handheld equipment. \n\nFor futher Info , Click:

Wireless electricity...Sounds kind of complicated.  If they wanted to do it, they could do it from satellites or something.  But it would have the same stipulations as WiFi, there would be areas that transfer the waves, and then there would be areas that don't, because they are out of limit.  Also, if you ever played SimCity, the Electric Satellites have a small tendency to miss, usually during the dry season in a wooded area...not a pretty site...
