What is Wi-fi?

Signature Tune



Wi-fi stands for Wireless Fidelity. It allows for wireless Internet connection through a wireless router.

It simply means broadband without the wires.

The advantage of small, portable devices like laptops is that they can be used anywhere around the house, but if you want to access the internet on them too you'll need a Wi-Fi transmitter.

Wi-fi for Broadband



Getting connected is easy. All you need is a mobile internet card or a wireless broadband modem.

The good
olid 3G coverage
HSDPA-ready for imminent network upgrade
Compatible with new ExpressCard notebooks and older PC Card models
Highly competitive pricing

The bad
:Extra charge for using Telstra GSM when 3G signal is too weak

The bottomline
:3's NetConnect mobile broadband card combines HSDPA speeds, compatibility with ExpessCard and PC Card laptop slots and exceptional pricing plans into a magic mobility mix.


Editors' rating:9/10
Users' rating:7.6/10

Note there that the users' rating is not high and the system DOES Cost.

I'm not sure what it covers but the amount shown is $399

But it does look good if that is any consolation.

Reports from users would be greatly appreciated

hi katyzzz,

Interesting article about the Wi-Fi card, it is widely used around here and there is even Wireless-Broadband connectors that doesn't need to connect to a 3G phone available in the market around here these days, which is fun here but not every area supports it yet.

Your Celcom Wireless Broadband

Sorry for being absent for so long. Been moving and being sick lately. I'll slowly catch up soon and hope I can find more articles to post soon!

Have a blessed day
Jessicca
p/s: Love your signature tune, it gives warmth when you see it.

Hmm I noticed that a coffee shop I went into has WiFi. Im guessing that you could go in there with your laptop or compatible mobile phone and connect to the internet? I guess also that you would have to pay too? Not sure how it works I just noticed it.

Some countries shops offers free / payable WiFi services. It depends which service provider the shop is tied to.
