It can require extra costs and equipment to set up, although
increasingly routers have built-in wireless capability, as do devices such as
laptops, handheld devices, modern DVD players, and TVs.
·
Setting up a wireless network can sometimes be difficult for people who
are not experienced with computers. (Although there are issues with setting up
a wired network too, off course!)
·
File-sharing transfer speeds are normally slower with wireless networks
than they are with cabled. The speeds can also vary considerably according to
your location in relation to the network.
·
The general speed of a wireless connection is also usually much slower
than a wired one. The connection also gets worse the farther you are from the
router, which can be a problem in a large building or space.
·
Wireless connections can be obstructed by everyday household items and
structures such as walls, ceilings, and furniture.
·
Wireless networks are generally less secure. There can also be problems
with neighbors stealing bandwidth, if the network hasn’t been set up to be
password protected. Information is also less secure too and can be easier to
hack into.
