Wireless Internet 101: Extend Your Wireless Signal

By Christian Copeland


Lots of satisfied customers around the world are looking for something that entertains them. One of those things for any user to be entertained is no other than the wireless internet. Wireless internet is where you can connect to the internet without the need of a wired cable. Speaking of wired cable, it was used by internet and gaming stations to access the internet in a smooth way. But why is it that internet and gaming stations don't use wireless at all? First and foremost, wireless internet is not designed for gaming purposes. It's only purpose for the customers are to access the internet with a reasonable speed.

Wireless internet has made a huge impact on the field of internet, after broadband and DSL was introduced. How do we differentiate between the broadband and the wireless? For instance, a broadband internet was used to connect your computer in the World Wide Web using a LAN (local area network) cable. In other words, we use a wired cable that connects between your computer and the modem. On the other hand, wireless internet doesn't need of a wire cable to gain access with the World Wide Web. It uses a wireless signal that connects between your computer and laptop to your wireless router.

What we're trying to do now is to secure them with a password-type wireless access. For wireless users, they need to contact their service provider to include a security to their internet protocol (IP) address. It's either you will call them for assistance or to do it by yourself, but it really depends on the settings of your wireless connection. Without security, your wireless connection may be vulnerable to any malware or virus transmitted by the other anonymous users. It is important for you to make it secure with any password you want to use.

The same thing goes to an office work. If you are an employee who has a wireless laptop or tablet, you can gain access with their wireless service provider. But it really depends on your boss if he enables the security key on the wireless connection, in order to discipline its employees for good. On the other hand, if your boss will allow you to gain access to wireless internet anytime, it makes you feel happy with your work. You can chat and send messages to your contacts while working on your tough tasks from him.

If there are lots of users in your range, it will affect the speed and performance of your wireless connection. Once again, you will be vulnerable to malware, spyware or any virus from anonymous users without internet protocol security. If you are one of those who have no security in your wireless internet, better contact your local internet provider for some assistance. They will help you out in setting up a security IP address in order to block anonymous users from gaining access. They cannot access your wireless internet without the knowledge of your security key. This is why wireless users need to secure their connection for safety purposes, in order for them to experience smooth surfing like no other.
