In recent years, wireless solutions have become popular in home networking. Like wired solutions, a number of wireless technologies are available to support two major computer networks.
WI-FI LINKS
A Wi-Fi connection can cover longer distances than wireless
alternatives. Many new computers, especially laptops, have built-in Wi-Fi
capability, which is often the preferred option. Wi-Fi can be used with or
without a network device. On two computers, it is easy to set up a negative
Wi-Fi network device (also known as ad hoc mode).
BLUETOOTH LINKS
Bluetooth technology supports extremely high-speed wireless
connections between two computers without a network device. Bluetooth is used
when the consumer connects to the computer with mobile devices such as a mobile
phone.
Most desktop computers and older computers do not have
Bluetooth functionality. Bluetooth works best when both devices are in a room
close to each other. If you’re interested in networking with mobile devices and
your computer doesn’t have Wi-Fi, consider using Bluetooth.
Infrared links
A few years before Wi-Fi or Bluetooth technologies became
popular, laptops had access to the infrared network. Infrared communication
works between two computers, requires no assemblies, and is very fast. Because
it’s easy to set up and use, consider an infrared connection if your computers
support it and you don’t want to make an effort to connect to Wi-Fi or
Bluetooth.
