Answer
Two most common ways to connect to Internet wirelessly are :
- Wi-Fi — Wi-Fi refers to Wireless Fidelity, which lets us connect to the Internet without a direct line from our PC to the ISP. The WiFi wireless local area network standard is limited in most cases to only 100-300 feet (30-100 m). For Wi-Fi to work, we need:
- A broadband Internet connection.
- A wireless router, which relays our Internet connection from the ISP to the PC.
- A laptop or desktop with a wireless internet card or external wireless adapter.
- WiMAX — It is a wireless digital communications system. It can provide broadband wireless access (BWA) up to 30 miles (50 km) for fixed stations, and 3-10 miles (5-15 km) for mobile stations.
