Default Should We go Wireless


Me and my husband live in a relatively small place, but we have a few unsightly cables running around right now. Do you think it would be alright to go wireless? We live in a condo/apartment complex so neighbors are close. Would this pose any issues?

If you can afford it and have no problems setting it up, then definatly is it worth it.

Its not a problem solong as you protect and encrypt your network, all the leading brands have the ability todo this but you will need to activate it. Always go for the most secure, just to be safe.

The average user (eg your neighbours) can be blocked from a wireless network with a simple enryption (available with all routers). It makes connections easier, i also find it useful when moving about with my laptop

it will be a much better option to go wireless as there is much less hussle. you can also be free to use your laptops anywhere in ur condo.. i would definitely opt for it.

the downside of that is, is that whomever is going to be wireless wont have near the speed as the one is wired...
