Reasons to "Go Wireless":
Inside the computer industry, the word "network" really is all about one word - Sharing. A computer network is a way to interconnect several computers together, and the reason, almost always is to share one or more things. In computer talk, these things that we share (Internet, Printers, File Folders) are known as "Network Resources." A network can be either "wired" (each computer connects to the network via a wire or cable) or "wireless" where computers, printers, etc. connect to the network through some type of broadcast. The device that transmits this "cloud" of wireless access is known as a "Wireless Access Point" (WAP). You may have a cordless phone in your home that is connected into your "land line" phone service that transmits a "zone" of telephone signal to any phone "receivers" that are in range. Similarly, the Access Point is connected to the Internet by wire, and it creates a "cloud" of potential Internet connectivity for any wireless computer "receivers" in the area.
