Creating a Wireless Desktop

Execute Summary by Stephen Orgill

There is more to the wireless desktop than you might think as well.

The Wireless Keyboard and Mouse

Plus limiting the mouse wire can mean limiting the mouse movement as well. Having a wireless mouse will also help in gaming. Most wireless mice are just as responsive as corded ones and your wire wont snag at that vital moment when online gaming.

Wireless Printers

While printers are not being produced as wireless as yet. Currently what you can by for your USB connected printers is a two small connecters that plug into your printer and USB port which connect together like a wireless network. Its almost a wireless USB connection if you like. A second advantage would be that connecting your printer to a wireless network for sharing will be much easier.

Wireless Networking

I think the biggest advantage of wireless technology has to be Wireless Networking. For a simple network (peer to peer) on two computers all you need is two wireless networking cards setup to the same channel. Anything you can do with a wired network you can do with wireless technology.

Software firewalls are also recommended on wireless connections (as well as wired) just for added security against unwanted virus' or Adware/Spyware.

Wireless Headphones / Microphone

Wireless headphones are readily available from many manufacturers. These are really one of the most practical uses of wireless technology behind the networking.

Wireless Speakers

Wireless speakers will remove loads of wires from the back of your computer.
