Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology which allows you to connect your devices to the Internet without the need for any cables. To cover an area as small as a few rooms you will need one or more access points (hotspots) however coverage for a larger area, such as a hotel, will require a group of
access points with overlapping coverage.
Your router provides the link to the outside world via the internet, sending data over your broadband or 4G network. Within your home or business, your router connects to your devices via network cables or wireless access points.
Your wireless router comes with built-in security features but you
must know how to use them. Your router has either a WEP or WPA
encryption. The latter is far superior with regularly
changing keys so that it is much harder to hack into your Wi-Fi
network.
Remember to run a firewall on all computers connected to your Wi-Fi for added security.
