Wireless internet is now becoming more and more popular in both homes and to the public. WAN or Wireless Area Networks are becoming more affordable for individuals and it may be time for you to buy a wireless internet plan from your ISP. Many ISPs (Internet Service Providers) now provide high speed wireless internet access to your home. But what’s the best Wireless internet for your needs?

Best Wireless Internet speeds:

In the past, internet connection speeds used to be quite slow. Dial up speeds run at 56 Kbps and took minutes just to load a single web page. Now it is quite common for your ISP to provide wireless internet speeds between 384 Kbps to 2.0 Mbps. Speeds of around 2.0 Mbps are recommended for the average user. An average user that would do well with that speed to check email and view multiple websites often, and maybe download a few movies or photos occasionally.

If you are a user who needs more bandwidth simply because you download multimedia files frequently (watching videos online, sharing photos, uploading massive file sizes, etc), then a speed of 7 Mbps or higher is recommended. If you live in the city, many ISPs have high speed wireless internet plans than can exceed 15 Mbps. When looking through ISP internet plans, also make sure the ISP does not put a cap limit on the amount you can download each month. Some ISPs will only allow you to download a certain amount of data, and if you exceed it, they will charge your extra or slow down your speed.

Now comes the question, what is the best wireless internet provider? Well it depends on where you live. Wireless internet is often now provided everywhere. If you live in a city, then you will most likely have no problem. But out in the country, it might be difficult to find an ISP that provides wireless internet. There are to types of WSPS (wireless internet providers): Nationwide ISPs and Local WISPs. Nationwide IPS like T-Mobile, Boingo, Clearwire, and Verizon wireless, provided internet access nationwide. Local WISPs are smaller companies which may only cover areas that they are located in.

Ok so it’s come time for you to upgrade your computers to a home wireless internet connection. But you’re not quite sure how to get everything up and running with a wireless internet. Configuring your computers to connect to your wireless internet is not difficult. In fact, it’s probably much easier than you think.  There are just a few basic steps you will need to follow to get wireless internet up and running in your home.

The first step, is to make sure you have a wireless card installed on all your computers. Most modern day laptops should always have a wireless card already installed, but some desktops might not. You will need to make sure you go out and by an internal or external wireless card for your desktop. Don’t worry, wireless cards are not expansive and should cost anywhere from 20 to 30 bucks.

Next you need to go out and buy a wireless router. A wireless router is what your wireless cards communicate with when trying to find wireless internet. While you’re at it, you might as well also buy a modem. A modem is what your wireless router communicates with. Essentially it goes like this. You need a computer with a wireless card. The computer communicates with a wireless router. The wireless router than communicates to the modem. And the modem then communicates with your ISP. Your ISP or Internet Service Provider is a company that provides you with internet access. When you order internet through them, many times they will provide you with a modem. So it might be a good idea to ask them if you need to go out and buy the modem yourself. The modem usually connects to an outside phone line or cable connection. You don’t need to worry about this as the ISP should set this up themselves when  you order wireless internet from them.

Suggestions: I would recommend going out and buying a decent quality wireless router and modem. Some cheaper ones might not work as well and you may find yourself having internet problems with it. Usually a simple fix is just turning either the router or modem off for a few seconds and then turning it back on. But I still would recommend going with a good quality router. Also make sure you talk to your ISP about the various internet options they offer. Make sure you get enough bandwidth and speed to fit your needs.

Wi-Fi connects electronic devices to wireless computer networks (wireless LAN) using electromagnetic radiation. Wi-Fi is installed in homes, schools, offices, stores, hotels, coffee shops, airports, libraries, hospitals, public buildings and entire sections of cities. Wi-Fi signals are, unlike TV and radio signals, strong enough to penetrate concrete walls. Many health experts consider Wi-Fi radiation to be dangerous. Wi-Fi technology is used by personal computers, laptops, smartphones, tablets, Bluetooth hands-free handsets, wireless video game consoles, MP3 players, smart meters and other wireless applications. Wi-Fi signals use a frequency of 2.4 GHz, nearly identical to the frequency of microwave ovens (2.45 GHz) and similar to those of mobile or cell phones (GSM phones use 1.8 or 1.9 GHz and the UMTS 3G phones use 2.1 GHz). Since Wi-Fi is so recent, no studies have yet been done on the long-term health effects of Wi-Fi. However, thousands of studies have been done on the health effects of mobile phones and mobile phone masts. The studies have found that radiation from mobile phones can cause cancer! bbc.co.uk The health dangers of Wi-Fi radiation are commonly dismissed because Wi-Fi is so convenient. However, scientific studies suggest that prolonged exposure to the low-level electromagnetic radiation (EMR) can cause numerous health problems. news.bbc.co.uk Wi-Fi radiation penetrates the body, affects cell membranes and over time cells to lose their ability to …
