Wireless and Wired Networks, which network do you like better?

Networks are built by adding a network interface card (if not already built-in) or other network adapter to your computer and then connecting that adapter to the medium--a wire or radio frequency--over which the data flows. Depending on your network topology, there may also be a central hub or router to which each of the computers connects. If the hub also routes data between the local network and another network (such as the Internet), it's called a router.

You can add additional wireless devices to your wireless network to enable you to cover more area, or to give you greater bandwidth over which to communicate. You can also extend your coverage by wirelessly connecting two or more LANs. Because very few people have completely wireless networks, nearly all networks start out as wired LANs to which wireless capabilities are added. Wireless networking can extend your network to places that are either difficult or impossible to run a wire to. Wireless links can serve as bridges between two LAN islands. Given the right antennas, you can create wireless network links up to 10 miles in distance with 802.11 technology.
