Tips for Wi-Fi users
With a Wi-Fi connection, you can roam about 150 m around the access point
(depends on different environment), so find a spot where you can work without any
interruption.
Wi-Fi offers greater speed and range than Bluetooth, but it drains your portable
device batteries a lot faster than Bluetooth does. In fact, if you use a Wi-Fi
connection regularly on your laptop PC, you'll undoubtedly notice that you need to
recharge more often. If you need to conserve battery life — on a long trip for
example — turn off your Wi-Fi connection when you don't actually need it.
Security
Because wireless networks rely on radio signals to transmit data, they are not as
secure as wire network. Wireless networks are susceptible to viruses and breaches
like eavesdropping and need to be protected in order to be secure.
There are many security measures to safeguard wireless networks, protect the data,
and keep unauthorized users out. Hotspots, on the other hand, are often free of
standard security practices in an effort to make it easy for anyone to connect. It may
be found that some pay hotspots administered by service providers offer have some
level of security, however, when using a hotspot, it’s always a good idea to be
proactive and to employ security measures of your own.
