Wireless

Wireless is a type of computer networking technology that enables devices to communicate with each other without the use of cables or wires. It is used in many different types of applications such as home and office networking, wireless broadband, and mobile computing.

Wireless technology is based on the transmission of data via radio waves and infrared radiation, allowing devices to communicate over short and long distances without any physical connection. Wireless networks can be either local area networks (LANs) or wide area networks (WANs).

Wireless networks typically use wireless access points (APs) as the main connection point between devices. The access point acts as a transmitter, receiving data transmission from one device and relaying it to another device. This way, multiple devices can communicate over the same wireless network.

Wireless networks are also used in home networks, where the main access point is usually the router or modem. The router establishes an encrypted connection with your devices through which you can access the internet.

Wireless networks are becoming increasingly popular as they are relatively easy to install and require minimal hardware. They also offer greater flexibility than wired networks, as they can be moved to different locations without having to reconfigure settings.

Wireless networks play an important role in the modern world, enabling us to access the internet wherever we are. They also have their drawbacks, as they are susceptible to interference from other wireless devices and can be vulnerable to security threats.
