Things to consider when setting up wireless computer networks

If you're thinking about setting up a wireless computer network for your home or office, there are several key items you need to think about:

What is the distance between the computer(s) and your broadband modem?
Various factors can affect the range of wireless computer networks such as, distance, type of walls, other sources of interference such as baby monitors or cordless phones.

Do your current computers have the ability to connect to wireless networks?
Most new laptops have this ability but some of the older laptops do not. Most desktops will require an add-on network card to allow you to connect to a wireless network.

Security
Make sure your wireless network is securely encrypted when it is set-up - this will stop people in the immediate area from accessing your wireless network and possibly gaining access to your computer and files.
