Is it time you go wireless?
Posted by Rodney, Monday July 29th, 2010

It's the year 2010. By now we are supposed to have flying cars and taking vacations to the moon... right? We even though technology hasn't progressed as far as those old sci-fi movies suggested, we still have some pretty cool stuff. Take wireless technology for example. Almost any data signal can now be sent wirelessly and with the growing popularity of "all-in-one" computers, wires are becoming a thing of the past.

For example: Some all-in-one desktop systems need as little as one power cable... even the keyboard and mouse are wireless using Bluetooth technology. Hook up a wireless router to your high-speed Internet connection and you have a clean, easy setup.

Of course, most people are still using wireless strictly with their laptops... and mostly for wifi access.

Wifi has evolved over the years. The old standard was wireless-B, then G, now N (PS. I think we are running out of letters and might need to rethink the naming process). Connecting Point currently sells D-Link Wireless-N routers and our clients have had very positive feedback so far. Couple the router with an updated Wireless-N adapter for your computer and you get faster, more reliable speeds, as well as a better signal range.

If you need help or suggestion on upgrading to wireless in your home or business, please call Connecting Point and we will be sure to help get you up to speed with 2010 technology!
