For homes with more than one computer, it would be wise for you to setup a wireless network and share your high speed internet connection, as well as the scanner, printer, and other computer devices.
Wireless networking, “wireless fidelity”, or Wi-Fi, is gaining popularity nowadays because it is just so darn easy and very straightforward.

So, for those who want to use Wi-Fi technology in their homes, here’s a short tutorial to guide you through the process and answer some of the most frequently asked questions. To setup your home network you will need a wireless router and wireless PCI cards.

Wireless Network was firstly developed in 1980. The 900 MHz frequency with ISM Band was used in this development. In this frequency band, Wireless Network is able to receive and transmit data at the same time. For this reason, they could save much cost and were easy for developing. However, the frequency, 900 MHz, had been already used or reserved in most countries for mobile phones. Many manufacturers could not distribute their 900 MHz wireless products so the Wireless LAN was not popular yet.

In 1990, The Wireless Network was developed in 2.4 GHz frequency. Because of the high frequency, the transceiver devices were uneasy to develop. At that time, some countries did not allocate 2.4 GHz yet so this development could be growing up more than other network systems. Each manufacturer independently created the wireless systems so the wireless devices from different producer were not compatible. This problem could be solved by an organization called IEEE in 1992. IEEE organization create the standard for the Wireless LAN called 802.11 standard to specify the Wireless LAN generation. Wireless LAN standard was divided into three main groups as the frequencies. The first group is 2.4 GHz frequency. The second group is 5 GHz frequency and the last one is Infrared communication. The use of 2.4 GHz frequency is the most popular whereas the Infrared is outdated because the Infrared operate in low speed and the Infrared transceivers must be put in Line of Sight.

Nowadays many homes and offices apply the wireless data communications called “Wireless LAN” to create a network instead of the Wired LAN (Local Area Network) which still has wires. The important reason why people widespreadly use the Wireless LAN is that they do not need to arrange too many wires. They can transfer data without wires in the coverage area of the Wireless LAN. It’s not only easy to use but also easy to set up the network systems. Therefore, the Wireless LAN is one of the interesting solutions for anyone.

The differences between the Wired and Wireless LAN.Before we know how does the Wireless LAN work. We should know the differences between the Wired and Wireless LAN. In the past, the developments of data communications are in the wire medium. Therefore, we know the distance of signal
