The lure of wireless – Why wireless systems are not always as great as they seem.

Wireless is a tricky sport, but I will try and explain the rules.

Sometimes wireless technologies will work day in and day out for years and sometimes it seems like no matter what you buy in the store, it just never works right. This is true for both wireless internet and wireless networks in general.

Wireless is great for users who are closer to the where the signal originates. It’s just that simple.

People who live too far away from a tower or live in a gully or valley will experience minor to major issues constantly from their wireless internet.

The issue is that ISP sales teams do not care where you live or work, so long as you can pay their bills.

Wireless Internet should only be used when:

1.  You cannot get an ADSL connection normally
2.  You are on the move with your internet constantly

 Wireless local networks should only be used when:

1.  No business or personal data is passed through
2.  The signal is not interrupted by too many walls or other obstructions

Using a cable may be unsightly, but they always work better than wireless. In business situations, I would rather do anything else but use wireless technologies.
