Wireless Internet Card - Forget the Wires
The Wireless
Internet Card , where would you rather be working from on a nice
warm day, in a stuffy office, or simply working wirelessly from
your back garden or any where you choose.
This is the beauty of
a wireless connection, with the right setup you can connect to
the internet from anywhere in your home or garden, plus you can
easily connect more than one computer to a single internet
connection.
All you need is a way
of sharing your internet connection, this can be done via a
wireless router or hub, and then you simply need a Wifi internet
card, these have come down in price a lot, and can now be picked
up for a few dollars.
There are a number of
Wifi cards you can choose from, for a laptop either USB or
PCMCIA if it is not compatible with an internal card. The first
choice would be the PCMCIA type there is no difference in
performance, but the USB type does put a small load on the
processor and thus makes the laptop get warmer.
If you are
connecting to a desktop pc then you either have the choice of an
internal PCI type of card or a USB, again I would not personally
recommend the USB type, it works very well and if you really
don’t want to be remove the computers case then by all means go
for the USB type.
Wireless cards can be
bought for around $10 dollars from many sites, e-Bay is a good
place for this. One point to note is the speed, you’ll see two
types of card speed available, these are 802.11b which is an
older slower technology or 802.11g which is newer and faster,
plus it only costs a few bucks more than the older type, so this
is the one to go for.
Being able to surf
the web from anywhere around your house really makes working
enjoyable, of course you can’t guarantee getting more work done,
but if you’re working in pleasant surroundings or away from
noise, it can only help to make working a more relaxed
experience.
