"Wireless broadband is a broadband connection to the Internet that is accessed without the use of wires and the most common way of accessing wireless broadband is through a wireless router."

Wireless broadband – also known as WiFi – is a broadband connection to the Internet that is accessed without the use of wires and the most common way of accessing wireless broadband is through a wireless router.

To give you an idea of how wireless broadband works, Top10.com – the UK’s leading comparison site for broadband and mobile phones – have put together a little guide to explain why and how wireless can work for you.

How do wireless routers work?

Wireless routers convert a signal that is running across your Internet connection (on the same principle as a wireless telephone) and broadcasts them around the area. The signal is then picked up by wireless broadband devices, such as laptops and gaming consoles which allows for wireless broadband connectivity throughout the house or office.

This type of wireless broadband suits;

1. Families: Where multiple family members want to access broadband at once from different rooms of the house.

2. Gamers: PS3s, PSPs, Nintendo Wiis and other wireless gaming consoles.

3. Laptop Users: Now you no longer need to your telephone point.

If you are looking to purchase a wireless broadband package then you will find that the wireless router will most likely be included in the deal.

WiFi is great if you want to access broadband in every room of your house without the use of cables. It is fantastic for those with laptops as you can even enjoy broadband in your garden.

So how do you go wireless?

You will firstly need to set up a simple wireless local area network (WLAN) however this is something you will probably not need to worry about as most broadband providers will offer a simple ‘plug and pay’ wireless equipment which involves little more than;

1. Plug your telephone line into a wireless modem/router.

2. Load up a CD-ROM with the wireless broadband software.

Your Internet Service Provider will most likely provide excellent customer support and technical help when setting up your wireless network.
