In the past year the popularity of wireless networks has exploded, and not without good reason. When wireless networking was first introduced it was expensive, slow, buggy, and had serious security flaws
Now, with new offerings from Dlink, Belkin, Linksys, Netgear, and
many others, you can share your cable or DSL connection via a fast Wireless-G or Wireless-N access point or router.
Wireless security standards have also improved greatly with new encryption schemes such as TKIP-WPA (WiFi Protected Access) which address many of the security flaws found in the older WEP (Wi-Fi Equivalent Privacy) standard.
Interestingly enough, most homes do not know how to enable security of their
wireless setup and keep their network wide open. This poses the problem that a
malicious intruder may be able to gain access to your wireless network and
access files on your computer.
