From personal
experience, I can say that working on a computer in a place in your home can be
tedious and sometimes embarrassing. Sometimes you want to work (or have fun)
while sitting on the couch with your family in front of the TV.
However, to do
this, you must configure a WiFi for home.
This guide will guide you through what you need to know about the wireless
Internet so you can do it.
Difference Between Wireless & 3g/4g –
When talking
about Internet connections, it is essential to distinguish the differences
between wireless or "wifi" and 3G (and 4G). Especially because the
purpose of this article will be to talk about wireless internet that you can
get at home.
Wi-Fi or
wireless internet access near an internet connection This is usually your home,
motel, or cafeteria. Wherever someone has a router configuration, wireless
coverage is, most of the time, you can use it.
Access to the 3G
Internet (mobile Internet), on the other hand, is exclusive to 3G available on
mobile phones. Instead of having an Internet connection, it just needs to be a
cellular tower. If you can access your phone, you can access the Internet on
your laptop or tablet.
However, the
disadvantage of 3G is that it will cost you money to use it. The prices can be
compared with your internet connection in your home. Costs increase if you
review your data plan.
What Areas Do Your
Local ISPs Cover –
Coverage can
be essential or not. If you already have an internet connection and only want
to add Wi-Fi functionality, in most cases, it will be getting the equipment you
need to get started.
If you do not
have an internet connection yet, coverage will be essential. You should check
each Internet Service Provider (ISP) in your area and see if they offer a
service, as well as the type of connections. We explain in more detail how to
proceed in our online shopping guide.
If you want a
100% wireless connection, the best advice I can give you is to get close to the
map and make sure the coverage is adequate and robust. Most ISP coverage cards
will have different colors to show the quality or strength of the signal. Since
this is probably your primary Internet source for your home, I would not be
content with any former Internet provider.
Wireless
Internet Equipment You May Need –
Specific equipment is required to make wireless connections. At a minimum, you will need a wireless router. This will take you to your modem and send it to you. However, depending on the device you use.
Here is a list of the computers you can use
to make the wireless Internet work.
Wireless Router –
A wireless router is required so that it can
take the information sent by the modem and transmit it to the wireless devices.
Modem –
If this is your first Internet connection, you must purchase a modem.
This is where all your Internet information goes (first) before you are
transferred.
Depending on
the device, you may need to buy a second modem. Most laptops currently have
modems, phones, or Wi-Fi functions. However, if your computer does not have a
built-in modem, you may need to buy an external modem. There are some options
for this; a USB "key" or a cross between a USB key and a credit card.
Both connect to your USB port on your computer.
You can also
buy wireless routers and modem combos. Some of them are as wireless as possible
and only require the power cord. Still, others expect you to have your DSL /
cable connected. Going with a combination is expensive. The most significant
disadvantage is that the device fails; You will lose your modem and your
router.
