There is hardly a single computer user who would not be annoyed by the confusion of wires connecting all kinds of peripheral devices to a computer. Cables are especially inconvenient when working with a laptop, because they negate all the advantages of computer mobility. It is not for nothing that connecting devices wirelessly - all kinds of wireless keyboards, mice, printers, and more - have gained such a fast and lasting popularity.
You can get rid of one more wire - the network one by organizing a wireless wi fi network in your home or office. It will provide high-speed Internet access anywhere in the room without wires, making both work and play even more comfortable. In addition, such a network will be available not only for computers, but also for other equipment that supports wi fi, for example, smartphones and printers.
To set up wi fi you need an access point or, if the Internet is supplied using ADSL technology, an ADSL modem router.
1. Connect and configure your wireless router. This process is quite simple and accessible to any user. Follow the directions in the documentation for your model. We only note that if it is possible, then it is better to make the distribution of IP addresses automatic. This will simplify the network logon procedure for new technology.
2. Configure each computer for a wireless network. Most laptops have a built-in wi fi adapter, while a desktop computer may require a wireless network card, which will need to be purchased separately. Setting up a wireless network is not much different from setting up a regular network. The only thing that needs to be done additionally is to enter a special network secret code generated by the router. The code will allow you not to worry about unauthorized users being able to connect to your wireless network.
3. The easiest way to connect to the wireless network of the Pocket PC is to use the built-in iPAQ Wireless utility or similar, depending on the model of the Pocket PC or Smartphone. Here you will also need to specify the secret key of the network.
After you have managed to set up wi fi, it becomes possible not only to use the Internet from each of the devices on the wireless network, but also to use the local network: share folders, share a printer and scanner, etc.
