What are Advantages and Disadvantages of Wireless Internet Connectivity? Wireless networks generally use a 2.4GHz band technology that allows users to connect various Wi-Fi devices. These wireless local area networks, or WLANs, are usually established in homes and businesses using Wi-Fi routers. This not only allows a single connection to be shared by multiple users but also broadcasts an internet signal to any device within an appropriate security range. In addition, wireless Internet connectivity is available in many areas known as “Hot Spots”. Many of these hotspots are in public places and offer free internet service.

Establish a wireless network
Users who want a wireless access network need an integrated wireless card device. If they don’t have one, they must install something that allows Wi-Fi to be used on the device. Regardless of the type (computer, mobile phone or game console), any device with Wi-Fi access can be connected to a single compatible access point. This hotspot acts as a network server and provides internet connectivity to multiple devices simultaneously.
network security
A network security system must be established on the host or router. The settings will be mimicked on the client machine so they can be connected. Setting a security key will restrict unauthorized access to your wireless network and prevent people from seeing or downloading any data from your computers.
Benefits
The main advantage of wireless Internet connectivity is the ability to stay connected and access email from virtually anywhere. Wi-Fi hotspots and 3G mobile networks combine to provide a wide coverage area in most major cities, making it convenient to stay in touch and have the Internet’s vast content resources at your disposal. The technology itself is very fast, giving users a good speed connection.
Disadvantages
While capable of delivering broadband content, Wi-Fi networks are generally not as fast as wired systems and occasionally experience disconnections. This could be due to interference from neighbouring networks or even other 2.4GHz devices such as cordless phones. Also, Wi-Fi has a very limited range, and the further away you are from the hotspot, the weaker and slower your connection will be. Eventually, the signal will no longer be enough and the connection will drop. You should also be ready for slower than usual speeds in large public places like airports or shopping malls where there could be dozens of users sharing a connection.
