Your Guide to Cut the Cord
  Going Wireless Inside Your Home:
Wireless Internet:
It's extremely convenient to just turn on your computer and have the internet immediately available in any room you want. Having wireless internet access at home has a lot of advantages, and in concert with other parts of this web site, you may also be able to make phone calls through your broadband connection through that same wireless internet (wi-fi) connection.
Share Photos and Music Among All Your Computers:
You can stop running around with a CD or a thumb drive in your hand. Just click and the files become available to all your computers.
Print From Any Computer:
Not only can you print from any room, the printer itself can be wireless and located wherever it fits.
Back Up Your Files.
If you don't trust online backup services, you can store your files right on your own wireless hard drive, and you can set it back up automatically.
Fill Your Home with Music:
Many home theater models offer a wireless box for their 'back' speakers, and you can also add wireless speakers to your existing home entertainment system. There are also internet radios that access streaming audio, downloaded in real time by your computer, that can be used anywhere in the house.
Other Inside Wireless Advantages:
  • Gaming consoles are a lot more fun
  • No more tripping over wires
Inside Wireless Considerations:
  • Password-protect your wireless internet router. Security may not be that big of a concern, but outsiders using your system will slow you down.
  • Place your wireless router or transmitter in a unobstructed location. Putting it behind the computer with the antenna folded down can limit your wireless range.
  • Be prepared for interference to and from other devices. You may need to switch models of wireless gear to eliminate noisy connections. Keep them away from each other and devices like microwave ovens.
  • Keep some cables handy to connect devices during an equipment or power outage.
  • Get discounts on wireless equipment, and look for other Unwired deals on our discount shopping page.
