Wireless broadband works by using short-range radio waves to create a small area where your computers can be networked without wires – most wireless networks are no bigger than a house, although larger ones are possibleThis is how it works. First, the broadband Internet connection is plugged into a wireless router – basically, a small, cheap computer that does nothing except acting as the hub of your network. You then fit wireless cards into each one of your computers, either by opening them up and putting it inside or by plugging it in using a cable (such as USB) or a port (like laptops’ PCMCIA).

Your router should create a network automatically, generally naming it after its manufacturer (‘netgear’ or ‘linksys’, for example). All you need to do is choose this network, and you’re on the Internet.Wireless broadband access is usually no slower than plugging the modem in directly, unless you have very cheap wireless equipment and a very fast Internet connection. It also gives you the added advantage that your computers will be networked together wirelessly, too – so you can easily make your folders shared and access them from any computer in your house using ‘My Network Places’.
