What You Need to Connect to Wi-Fi Hotspots



Most modern laptops, cell phones and PDAs are Wi-Fi enabled which makes it easier to trigger the use of Wi-Fi hotspots without modification of the software and their hardware gadget.

And for those who do not have the necessary tools connect to the HotSpot, here are some things that are should have to do it.

1. Wireless Adapter

-- It is the primary condition in a position to make the connection to the HotSpot. Wireless Adapter once that transfer data to and from computers. Able laptops are compatible with this. And for those without adapter, which can be bought wireless card or even a USB adapter
as an add-on.

2. Does the same protocol as IEEE802.11 Hotspot

-- IEEE802.11 is standard, Wi-Fi. With different protocols, where the concrete wireless networking needs such as speed and range. Although modern wireless adapters are backward compatible, meaning that they can handle new and old protocols, the old may have problems connecting to hotspots with the various protocols what they use.

Therefore, we must ensure that any laptop is compatible with one of the HotSpot or Laptop, supports various protocols to connect with various hotspots easily.

3. A good place to connect with the Hotspot

-- There is a HotSpot area. As a rule of thumb, if the connection to the HotSpot is that the closer
is the source, the better. Laptops usually indicate signal of strength, so good job should be easy.

The History of Wi-Fi



Wi-Fi is a relatively new form of technology is the only the starting point to ensure that a wide following around the world. A considered one of the most important innovation in technology since the Internet came to the mainstream.

Because of IT, computers are now able to connect to internet and to other computers wirelessly.

Is the predecessor of today's Wi-Fi has developed somewhere in the at the beginning of the 1990s by the Netherlands-based company NCR Corporation / AT & T (later known as Lucent &
Agere Systems). WaveLAN, was originally planned to be used in cash registers.

Several competing standards prevented the immediate success with wireless networks. However, with development IEEE 802.11 standards and the release of its first -- Protocol in 1997, this technology has come slowly but surely in the mainstream.

Since then, several protocols have been released and several will not be issued to address issues such as the scope and speed.

The first protocol of 1997, is now known as legacy mode to work on the 2.4-GHz frequency. The
throughput and data transfer rate is slow by today's standards, with only 0.9 and 2 Mbps, or. 802.11 A and B came two years later in the year 1999 with the protocol faster speeds, while b broader spectrum.

Elements of the two were later merged in 2003, when the 802.11g protocol was released. The new protocol provides and reach the speed of b.

New protocols are currently under construction. In n, set be issued in mid-2009 offers greater speed and almost twice as high as the reach of a / b / g protocol. Another, 802.11y, will be published in mid-2008 has the same speed of g protocol, although y has the open space
as 5 km.
