Hi Oyebola,

Yes, Wi-fi has its advantages. It allows an entire office or family to share one Internet account without a tangle of wires or holes drilled to feed those wires. Plus Wi-fi allows everyone to share a common printer. Portability is another plus. Computers can be moved around without rewiring or reconfiguring and laptops can connect to the internet.

Hi Alo Gbenga,

Progress has been made in securing Wi-fi networks. To Secure "Real-time Traffic" at the least use WEP encryption and even better go with WPA encryption. Steps to take to stop other people from connecting to your network include:

   * Try to limit your wireless coverage to a controlled area
   * If applicable, use MAC address filtering
   * Limit DHCP addresses or assign static addresses
   * Disable SSID Broadcast

Encryption is the only method that sufficiently secures real-time traffic, which includes e-mails and Web browsing. MAC address filtering and disabling SSID broadcast help prevent unauthorized users from successfully connecting to your network. Implementing a variety of security methods makes it more difficult for Wi-Fi eavesdroppers to see your readable real-time data.

The Wi-fi network is preferable than the local cable network.
