A wireless networking system can avoid the downtime, which may be caused in the wired network. Wireless Network Types:
Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANS)
Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANS)
There are two current technologies for wireless personal network Bluetooth and Infra Red. Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks (WMANS)
Wireless Wide Area Networks (WWANS)
The following table shows the range those different types of wireless network covers.
Network Meter
Personal Area Network 0-10
Local Area Network 0-100
Wide Are Network 0-10000
Security in Wireless Networking
The following different types of security methods are available in the wireless networking.
If the SSID match between the two computers or networks then access is granted to each other.

Wireless Networks – What You Should Know
Executive Summary about Wireless by Mike L Dailey
Millions of homes in the United States currently have wireless computer network devices. Wireless Networking Primer
Wireless network devices can typically communicate in one of two modes: Managed and Ad-Hoc. WEP (wired-equivalent privacy) is today the standard method for protecting a wireless networking data transmission.
It was supposed to make wireless networks as private as wired networks by using 40-bit and 128-bit encryption. WEP technology provides a means of encrypting the data communications taking place between a wireless networking device and a wireless access point, or two wireless networking devices (depending on which mode is being used, Managed or Ad-Hoc.) Wireless Security at Home
If WEP isn’t a good solution for securing my home-based wireless network, then what is?” 1. Never attach a personal computer that contains personal financial or family information to a home-based network via wireless.

Executive Summary about Wireless by Rav Dighe
Maybe you have heard that wireless networking is very complicated and insecure. If you don’t believe me, if you have a wireless enabled laptop, just fire it up and have a look at your wireless network utility. You will find that wireless networks are just everywhere.
Ever since the local service providers have given away wireless devices with their services, there has been a virtual explosion of wireless networks. Basically, this comes down to 11 useable wireless channels.
You might notice this if you are trying to use your wireless network and find that you have a slow network, loss of connectivity to your wireless device, or the inability to use your wireless network in different parts of your home or office. o First, establish a good central location to install your wireless device.
