Importance of wireless network management

Christophe Dunand

A broadband Internet connection is a high-speed Internet connection. Digital Subscriber Line DSL and cable are two of the most common broadband connections. You can get a broadband connection by contacting an Internet service provider ISP. Typically, ISPs that provide DSL are telephone companies and ISPs that provide cable are cable TV companies. ISPs frequently offer broadband modems. Some ISPs also offer combination modem/wireless routers. Security is always important with a wireless network, it's even more important because your network's signal could be broadcast outside your home. If you don't help secure your network, people with PCs nearby could access info stored on your network PCs and use your Internet connection.
