What is wireless Internet service?

About wireless Internet service

Wireless Internet service uses radio waves rather than wires to transmit data between computers and connect to the Internet.

If you have cable Internet or DSL service at home, you can purchase a wireless router to connect other computers in your house to the Internet without wired connections.

Most wireless routers are very affordable and relatively easy to set up and use. You just need to plug in the router to a power supply and then connect it to your modem. Follow the instructions provided for any other configurations for your router.

Popular brands of wireless routers include Linksys, D-Link and NetGear.
