More and more computer users and home business owners are turning to wireless networking as a highly convenient way to get online from a laptop or handheld device.

FAQs:
Q. What type of router should I buy?
A. My Computer Works recommends reliable brands such as Linksys and Netgear. Any new wireless router from these manufacturers should be sufficient for an enjoyable, trouble-free wireless Internet experience.
Q. Why do I need to secure my wireless router?
A. You wouldn’t leave your windows open or your doors unlocked, but the same risk applies on a virtual level. An unsecured wireless network can provide a cyber-crook with easy access to your personal and/or financial data.
Q. How fast should my Internet access be?
A. It all depends on a few factors – service area, browsing habits, media needs, and others. For example, a telecommuting businessman would probably need a faster Internet connection than a casual home user who might just browse a few web pages and check email every so often. Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) can provide a good recommendation based on your needs.
