The Information Age has paved the way for the necessity of connectivity, especially through the Internet. This era has brought everyone's need to stay connected with the world whether he or she is just in the office, at school or at home.

Nowadays, a much preferred way of maintaining that connectivity is through wireless networks. As the name suggests, this type of network eliminates the need for the cumbersome installation of bulky wires and other physical equipment. However, for a device to share wireless connectivity, the network it is part of must be hooked up with a wireless router. After a wireless router is set-up, then your laptop, cellular phone, iPhone or Blackberry can automatically be connected to the network, provided they have the capability and the necessary hardware such as wireless network adapters.
