Why and How of Wireless Internet

by Art Gibb, freelance writer on behalf of Rocketcomm Wifi ( 15-Jan-2013 )

It may seem ages ago, but it actually wasn’t that long ago when most Americans were using dial-up Internet services. Those were the days when you usually relied on a desktop computer or a plugged in device to get Internet access and you had to click a few buttons and wait a few minutes as your computer made strange dial-up noises. Fortunately, we’ve come a long way since then. Thanks to wireless Internet, you can skip this grueling process and you can access the Internet on other devices such as smart phones and computer tablets. There are several other advantages to wireless Internet in Georgia and if you follow this guide to setting it up, you can enjoy a smooth and steady connection to the World Wide Web.

Main Advantages
As mentioned before, one of the benefits of wireless connectivity is you can be anywhere and get Internet access. You don’t have to be at home to watch an Internet video or check your email. Anywhere with a free hotspot is fair game if you have a device with Wi-Fi. Another advantage is you can easily print things with a wireless connection. If you’re in a library with these capabilities, you can connect to their printer and print off documents from your laptop. If you’re concerned about speed because of previous bad experiences, don’t fret. Wireless Internet has been developed and innovated so that is faster than ever before. In fact, Internet providers brag that they can give speeds from 600kb/s to 10mb/s, depending on what you’re after. Having wireless Internet capabilities can help you keep up in this busy digital world.

Steps for Installation
If you want to use the ‘Net from home on your computer, you can easily install wireless routers. Sometimes all you have to do is plug it in! Other times, it requires a little more work. In order to set up Wi-Fi connectivity, you must first unplug your existing modem from its power source. Then use an Ethernet cord to connect the router to your modem. The cable should go into the port on your router that says “Internet” or “WAN” or “WLAN.” Then you can connect the modem to a power source before turning on the modem. Give it some time to connect and then plug the router into the electrical outlet. Turn on the router, and then proceed to connect the Ethernet cable on the router to an opening in the computer. You’ll go through a few security prompts to set up the connection. Following all these steps, you can then remove the Ethernet cord from the computer and proceed to use and enjoy all the benefits of wireless Internet in Georgia.
