The advantage of wireless technology is it allows you to form a network
together without the need for interconnecting wiring this can reduce the cost of
installation and it also gives easy setup and more mobility.Although this is a great solution , there are disadvantages you
must consider before deciding on wireless !
These are the main problems
- Power consumption is high and this can be a problem for devices that
depend on batteries such as laptop's
- As radio signals are used ,your network could suffer with interference
from other signals nearby
- Security could be weak if no encryption used and it possible someone
else near could pickup your network signal and access your network
- Signal strength may not always be optimal and you may have problems
accessing your network at times
- The exact layout of the network maybe outside the control of the network
