Networking - network signals

(continued....)

Diy-Computer-Repair can help!

With both types of network your signal will degrade after a certain distance.

With wired networks this is due to the strength of the signal that is sent down the wire, it will lose its strength the farther it travels, due to resistance in the wire.

With wireless networks your limitations come from the strength of the radio frequency that the transmitter puts out. The signal will have a tendency to bounce off of objects (walls, windows, or any flat surface) and will be impeded by walls, furniture, or glass.

This interference will cause the signal to degrade to a point where the connection is lost. Boosting the signal for either network will increase the connectivity.

Decision making –

Wired or Wireless?

These factors in deciding on wired or wireless should be considered.

Security - In this day and age, ID and personal information theft is at an all time high. You should consider security as your number one priority. Loss of data can be devastating.

Cost – New or small business just making it may have to consider the cost of wiring a building to accommodate a new workstation when adding new employees.

Convenience – Sometimes the new or additional device needs to be in a certain or central area.

After weighing all the considerations you will be better equipped to make the “right” decision on installing or adding to your network.
