Ways to set up Wi-Fi at home

Description of Wi-Fi technology

Wi-Fi technology, in the first place, is convenient without the need to lay additional cables between computers and connect them with a physical local network. You just need to buy and properly configure the router or software, which is much more convenient and cheaper. Owners of portable gadgets will be able to first appreciate the advantages of this technology, because with its help it is possible to move around the apartment, cottage or country house, having uninterrupted access to the Internet, limited only by the chosen tariff plan.

Also, this technology allows you to work without problems with the printer at a distance, for example, print documents on a printer installed in the office, while in the hall of the building. In addition, users wishing to create a small local network consisting of several computers at home, can resort to using a wireless network.

Safety first

But do not forget about the security settings. In particular, you must set a strong password for the Wi-Fi network. Recently, this technology has become widespread worldwide and, accordingly, attackers who want to access your personal data have perfectly learned to bypass the security system and select passwords. In turn, developers are building up new frontiers of defense, for example, "AccessPointWPA2-PSK" is the most reliable option for password encryption, consisting of at least 8 characters. He encrypts characters in a special way and gives a lot of trouble, overestimating their abilities to hackers.

Advice from a seasoned user

There are many ways that you can resort to setting up a Wi-Fi network at home. For example, you can go to the store and purchase one of the many routers or routers. Then, coming home, you will have a lot of questions like: "And what to do about it?". Carefully having studied the instruction and asking a couple of questions to the search engine, you, of course, will configure all necessary equipment, including the computer that distributes the wireless network. This may require some effort and take some time.

As a confident computer user and software developer, I hasten to reveal to you the secret of setting up a wireless network without purchasing the above equipment. For sure, you are already intrigued. Let us pass to the essence of the question. I, like many of you, work in the office. True it is worth noting that the team is not numerous, but in the scale of our enterprise it is quite workable. So, with the advent of the era of wireless technology, we decided to get Wi-Fi right in our workplace and, at the same time, get rid of all the annoying wires, which we stumbled together. Namuchavshis with stationary equipment, after watching the constant tricks of routers and tired of endless network outages, we began to look for a solution to the problem. It was decided to purchase a program to distribute the network. Their blessing in our time is great. We chose our choice on the Connectify program from the same-named development group. By that time, all the PCs in the office had been transferred to Windows 7. So I can not imagine how this utility is configured on other operating systems, but for sure, almost as well. Configuring Conectify on Windows 7 did not take much time and effort from us, so I advise everyone to switch from fixed adapters to computer programs. I would like to express a special thanks to the developer, which I did, having purchased a paid version of the program.
