Conclusions

Installing a wireless network in your home or small business can provide a simple, inexpensive networking solution, especially compared to retrofitting an existing building to a wired Ethernet network.  Properly configured and secured, a wireless network does not expose network users to greater risks than they would face attached to a traditional wired network, and in fact, it will significantly increase security for computer users who have been directly attached to a Cable or DSL modem with a public IP address assigned to their computer.  With the added benefit of not having to leave your computer tethered to wherever the Cable or DSL installer left the modem, a wireless network can provide increased flexibility in locating your computer where it makes sense for you.  Wireless networks are a must if your home has more than one computer, or if you have a work-issued laptop you would like to use at home.  Even small businesses can benefit from a wireless network; instead of running cable over the ceiling tiles, down the walls, or along the floors, everyone connects wirelessly.  Rearranging workspaces becomes easier, without having to consider where the Ethernet jack is located.  Even if you need to hire a computer professional to install one, a wireless network will cost less money to install than a similar wired network.

Plus, with a few simple accessories, you can stream music files from your computer to your stereo, and play digital pictures and videos over your network connected television set.  Obviously, I am a fan, and I am sure you will be one, too.
