environment?

If you choose to go wireless, your PCs on the network will use radio waves to send data from one PC to another.
Pros:
- Since the signal can travel through walls and floors, the PCs can be physically located wherever you want. This is especially convenient if you want to use a laptop, connected to your home network, when you are outside..
Cons:
- The radio signals used are fairly weak and have a limited range.
- You may also experience interference when you use other radio devices like portable phones and microwaves.
- This solution is very slow. Transferring a file via a wireless network can take nearly five times longer than it takes to transfer the file via a
phone line network.
- There are security issues. There is no concrete way to protect others from intercepting your signal.
