How to Set Up a Wireless Router in your Home
Without Internet, life looks very boring these days, especially when you on vacations. So, it is very important to have Internet at home. With time, we have seen plenty of development in every field of technology.
Now, the typical cable Internet has become a matter of past. It is the age of Wifi. With Wireless Internet at home, you don’t need to sit at one particular place to go online. You can take your laptop or mobile phone and use the internet from anyplace you want.
As far as the quality issues are concerned, the new Wifi technology is as good as cable, if not better. It allows you sit anywhere within the range of the Wifi and do whatever you want. Moreover, a family can use more than one computer at a time now.
Turning your typical Internet connection into a Wireless is not a tough task. Most of the service providers now offer special Wifi modem, but if it is not available, you just need to attach a Wifi router to your modem, and change the situation entirely.
