    Wi-Fi has some disadvantages including limited range, typically only 50-75 meters indoors, and potential interference from other wireless devices using similar frequencies. However, building a Wi-Fi network is often the cheapest way to connect devices without wiring. Wi-Fi also has security features to protect data transmission but public networks may not always use security.

    ADVANTEGE AND DISADVANTAGE DISADVANTAGE The most important shortcoming in Wi-Fi is the range.

    So far we may have difficulties in making a connection with a receiver which is more than 50-75 meters away (inside the buildings). The signal should be stronger to provide larger connectable spaces. Additionally, some of the wireless adapters works on the frequencies that are currently used by many other wireless devices. It can cause a serious interference, so the connection performance can be quite poor.

    ADVANTAGE However, building Wi-Fi network is often the cheapest way to achieve the desired connection with the surroundings. The price of a single wireless adapter is decreasing almost every day, so making a large network area by means of Wi-Fi is the most reasonable way. You will not need to arrange all the wires around and profit by the installation time. By the way, most of the Wi-Fi adapters have user-friendly configuration and diagnostic tools which can help you to adjust or change your WLAN settings or even can do everything for you.

    Security

    What about the security? Is there a possibility of stealing our data? Security is your personal decision, but having a wireless connection we should pay attention to protect our private files and encrypt sent messages. Actually, the security modules were very important since the beginning of the Wi-Fi projection. In order to prevent intercepting your data by the others the designers implemented many security techniques, like Wi-Fi Protected Access (based on encryption), Virtual Private Network (making virtual "tunnels"), Media Access Control Filtering (rejecting unknown MAC addresses), RADIUS Authentication and Authorization (using login and password) or Kerberos (key distribution). There is also a possibility to combine some of these security mechanisms making your transmissions even more secure.

    On the other hand providing such security in public places (like Internet cafes) may not meet its expectations. Connecting to protected wireless network you will be asked about a security code, encryption key or a password. If you do not know them, you will not be able to establish a communication link and use Internet resources. Most of public areas do not use security modules because of that reason making Wi-Fi users data unsafe.

    ADVANTAGE There are many WiFi advantages to users. Let's have a closer look at them: WiFi uses unlicensed radio spectrum and does not require regulatory approval for individual deployers.

    It allows local area networks (LANs) to be setup with cabling. The can reduce associated costs of network connection and expansions. Places where cables cannot be run, such as outdoor areas and historical buildings can use wireless LANs.

    WiFi products are extensively available in the market. There are different brands of access points and user's network interfaces are able to inter-operate at a very basic service level. Prices are considerably lower as competition amongst vendors' increases. WiFi networks can support roaming. This allows mobile users with laptop computer to be able to move from one access point to another.Numerous access points and network interfaces support various degrees of encryption to protect traffic from interception.

    WiFi has a set of global standards. Not like the cellular carriers, the same WiFi users can work in different countries around the world at all time.
