Wireless Networks and Wireless Routers

Belkin N1 Wireless Router

The Information Age has paved the way for the necessity of connectivity, especially through the Internet. This era has brought everyone's need to stay connected with the world whether he or she is just in the office, at school or at home.

Nowadays, a much preferred way of maintaining that connectivity is through wireless networks. As the name suggests, this type of network eliminates the need for the cumbersome installation of bulky wires and other physical equipment. However, for a device to share wireless connectivity, the network it is part of must be hooked up with a wireless router. After a wireless router is set-up, then your laptop, cellular phone, iPhone or Blackberry can automatically be connected to the network, provided they have the capability and the necessary hardware such as wireless network adapters.

Wireless networks are usually set-up in homes and home offices to integrate PCs and laptops. But, a ShopWiki article on Wireless Routers and Access Points also tells us that these networks are also helpful when it comes to gaming. You would just need a digital media adapter (also available via ShopWiki) installed on your TV or stereo.

Wireless Network Standards

Buffalo Technology's AirStation Nfiniti

Currently, there are three basic standards when it comes to a wireless network's speed and efficiency. These are Wireless A (802.11a), Wireless B (802.11b) and Wireless G (802.11g). But, the newest standard that is the most efficicient at the moment, Wireless N, is now available at ShopWiki as well. Check out the Belkin N1 Wireless Router which "greatly increases the throughput and range of Wi-Fi equipment". The other new models following the Wireless N standard are Buffalo Technology's AirStation Nfiniti, D-Link's RangeBoosterN, Linksys Wireless-N and Netgear's Rangemax Next.

Security Concerns for Wireless Networks

If you have security concerns regarding wireless networks (as they have been reported to be also susceptible to viruses), then that would not be a problem. Aside from the basic security that is provided by virus scanners and Internet firewalls, many wireless router models also take security into consideration. The Netgear WGT624SC Super G Wireless Router provides WEP protection, MAC address control, automatic scanning of connected PCs and detailed security reports. The TrustEli Security Appliance has anti-spam features for each computer connected to the network, anti-adware and malware software included, content filtering options, and a hardware firewall system.
