The router links to the internet in the usual way and then any of your other computers that are enabled can access the internet via radio waves without having to be plugged in with wires. This can be very useful for a family with several members in different rooms using the internet.
These packages don't differ much from the other broadband packages but as they do rely on the wireless router you will need to make sure that it is part of the deal.
True wireless broadband is an emerging service that is not yet available everywhere. In essence it relies on a radio tower to transmit the service and for the subscribers computer to then pick it up. The advantage is that you don't need any wires at all and no telephone line, so no standing charge or line rental. Because this service is still in its early stages it will depend where you live as to whether you can access it. Potential providers will offer an online postcode checker to see if they cover your area.
Wireless Broadband Top Tips
- If you have limited phone points in your home but several laptops and computers in different rooms a wireless network can be an excellent way of giving them all internet access
- To buy the wireless router as a stand alone item can be quite expensive so look for a broadband package that includes one in the offer
- You will need to have wifi enabled computers, which if you have an older computer may mean getting a plug in card or modem
