To connect to the Internet, you have two options: wired or wireless. The number of computers accessing the Internet on your network, the modem type, and preferred portability will determine which to choose. Wireless Internet connections offer flexibility of use; laptops can be used anywhere within reception range of the wireless transceiver. Wireless connections can be less reliable than wired connections. Wireless modems and routers must be located in an optimized signal area, which might be an inconvenient place in your home.
