Networking Wired or Wireless

Which Type of Networking and Internet Access is Best For You?

If you are using mostly desktop computers, a wired network may work fine. However, for mobility, modifications and growth (especially if you are running a small business or home network with a notebook), Wi-Fi provides the best answer because it enables you to move the computers anywhere in the building where they can connect to the wireless network. If you or your company moves to a new location, you don't need to leave your cables, cable drops and other network investments behind. The entire wireless network comes with you and takes only moments to set up in a new location.

Obviously if you are using laptop computers and/or other kinds of mobile computing devices, Wi-Fi is the only answer for both home and business.
If you already have a functioning wired network, it's easy to just keep it in place and add wireless components to extend your network's reach and give users more flexibility and convenience. Many home and SOHO access points and gateways allow you to easily connect to both wired and wireless equipment through their installed Ethernet ports.

Corporations frequently extend their wired networks with Wi-Fi networks. They connect wireless access points to their network backbone to provide Internet and network access in meeting rooms, lobbies, cafeterias and other common areas.

Companies also add wireless access points in their general office space to make it easy for staff to meet informally. For example, someone from marketing can carry his or her laptop to the sales manager's office two floors up and, via the wireless network there, make a presentation on the spot using their laptop. When employees are mobile, as in a large warehouse or shipping center, Wi-Fi networks can easily cover the entire area: staff can operate anywhere in the building, not just at predetermined desktop and workstations.
