When Employing Wireless Transmission, This Has The ENCRYPTION
Disadvantage That It Is Relatively Easy To Listen In To Any
Data Transferred. This Is Why We Need To Be Encrypted.

3.The Exact 802.11 Standard Being Used
A general rule of thumb in home networking says that 802.11b/g WAPs and routers
support a range of up to 150 feet (46 m) indoors and 300 feet (92 m) outdoors.
Another rule of thumb holds that the effective range of 802.11a is approximately
one-third that of 802.11b/g.

1.HEALTH RISK
• Being A Health Risk Is A Ongoing Issue. Wireless Devices Emit Low Levels Of
RF. It Is A Know Fact That High Levels Of RF With Heating Effects Can Cause
Biological Damage.
2.COSTWireless Network Cards Cost 4 Times More Than Wired Network Cards.
• The Access Points Are More Expensive Than Hubs And Wires.
