The introduction and adoption of any new technology can be a difficult process. Wireless 
technology has removed one of the barriers to networking—running wires. It allows more people 
to try networking, while at the same time exposes them to the inherent complexity of networking. 
General networking concepts, set up, and maintenance can be difficult to understand. In addition, 
wireless technology adds issues such as range, interference, signal quality, and security to the 
picture. 

To help overcome potential barriers to successfully using wireless networks, the table below 
identifies how to accomplish such things as connecting to a wireless network, assuring appropriate 
security measures are taken, browsing the Internet through your wireless connection, exchanging 
files with other computers and using printers in the combined wireless and wired network.
