Wireless networks allow devices to connect to the Internet and each other without cables by using radio signals. Setting up a wireless network involves getting a broadband Internet connection, a wireless router, and wireless network adapters for devices if needed. The router sends information between the network and Internet via radio signals instead of wires. It's recommended to use an 802.11g wireless router for a fast and strong wireless signal. Additional steps include installing any necessary wireless adapters into devices.

There are a few different types of wireless network technologies, including 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g. We recommend using a router that supports 802.11g because it is fast and provides a strong wireless signal. For more information about wireless network technologies
- 10. If your computer needs a wireless network adapter, you can purchase one from a computer or electronics store and install it yourself. The universal serial bus (USB) type are a nice choice because they are small, easy to install, and they can be moved around to different computers. Make sure you get the same type of adapters as your wireless router. The type of adapter is usually marked on the package, typically with a letter, such as G or A.
