One of the best things about WiFi is how simple it is. Many new laptops already come with a WiFi card built in -- in many cases you don't have to do anything to start using WiFi. It is also easy to add a WiFi card to an older laptop or a desktop PC.

For a laptop, this card will normally be a PCMCIA card that you slide into a PCMCIA slot on your laptop. Or you can buy a small external adapter and plug it into a USB port. For a desktop machine, you can buy a PCI card that you install inside the machine, or a small external adapter that you connect to the computer with a USB cable. There are three different kinds of WiFi cards that are available to purchase. The recommended WiFi card to buy is the 802.11g because it has the advantage of higher speeds than the 802.11b. Although it is bit more expensive than the 802.11b, it is still worth the cost. A hotspot which contains 802.11 standards can hold up to as much as 100 802.11 cards within the vicinity.
