The Myths

It's expensive to do wireless networking.

As a matter of fact, it might have been expensive when it was new, but as a result of tough competition and mass production, prices have significantly decreased in the past years.

The amount of choice has also increased, manufacturers are now able to offer something for every existing budget. Although the amount of your expenditure depends on the number of computers you wish to have connected, the distance between them, the total average price for a normal family would be slightly less than $100. Actually, if you keep one of the computers always on, especially when you're using the other one, the price could be even lower, like around $20! And what's more, after having paid for the system, you will not have to spend any more money!

Wireless networking is complex.

As for the previous myth, this might have been the case in the early years of the system's existence. At that time, people spent significant time on trying to make the simplest things work by continuously fiddling with the configuration. However, today wireless is supported out of the box by Windows, and making it work is as simple as it gets. You simply have to plug in the wires, etc., insert the CD into your computer and relax while it will start working by perfectly by itself.

Wireless networking is not safe.

If you think that it could be risky to have your private data at the disposal of anyone, keep in mind that it is extremely simple to have your wireless signals encrypted. This way, outsiders will find it very hard to intercept or decode your wireless signals.

Not Just at Home.

First, wireless technology was mostly adopted by home users, who were willing to pay anything only to eliminate wires from their homes. Since then, however, offices, universities, and other institutions too have all turned to wireless networking.

Coffee shops, as well as cafes have all realized that by offering wireless Internet connection, their customers would be willing to stay for hours. The same tendency can be identified in hotels and airports. In other words, by setting up a laptop for wireless, it will become much more portable than ever before.
