WildBlue Satellite internet Wifi
WiFi is a wireless Internet that is provided using a wireless router. It uses radio waves, just like your cell phone, television, and even you car stereo. The communication between your computer and your wireless router is a lot like having a two-way-radio. Wireless networks are easy to set up and are very inexpensive.
Here is how it works!
In your computer there is what’s called a “wireless adapter”. Almost any new computer should already come with this installed. Your computer’s wireless adapter can translate any data you may have stored on your computer into a radio signal. Your wireless adapter will then send that radio signal to your wireless router.
Your wireless router will then take that radio signal that your computer’s wireless adapter sent, and decode it. The router sends that information to the Internet using an Ethernet cable.
This cable is colored yellow or gray and looks like a phone cable only bigger. It is plugged into the back of your router and runs to the modem that your Internet service provider, (ISP) supplied you with. The modem is what actually brings the Internet to your home. If you have a cable ISP, they some times will give you a modem that double as a wireless router. They usually add a charge for this on your monthly bill. DSL and Satellite ISP’s do not offer that.
This process can also work in reverse. The wireless router can receive information from the Internet, translate it into a radio signal and send it to the computer’s wireless adapter. Giving you Internet on your computer.
How many computers will work with WiFi?
Several. As long as all the computers or laptops have wireless adapters, they can use one router to connect to the Internet. The wireless connection is invisible and fairly reliable. Unfortunately, if too many computers are connected at the same time the users may see some interference or even lose their connections as the bandwidth is limited in this setup.
Audio Streaming
Your Internet Bandwidth plays a very big role in the amount of streaming audio you can get to your compute. Programs like Netflix or Hulu require your Internet to have a large amount of bandwidth. Think of the highway again, but instead of the car think of the highway the car is driving on as information. Think of your car hauling a movie that you want to stream. If your highway/bandwidth isn’t big enough your car won’t be able to deliver the goods. The same rule applies for downloading as well.
