Wireless networks

A wireless LAN or WLAN is a wireless local area network, which may link 

two or more computers without using wires. Setting up a wireless network 

is easy and allows you to share files, peripheral devices and an Internet 

connection. 

What are benefits of a wireless network?

Mobility

Wireless LAN systems allow you and other users of your home network to 

share access to files and devices connected to the network, for example a 

printer or scanner.
