Wi-Fi adapter allows the user to access the Internet without connecting wires. But before use, the device must be properly configured.
Wi-Fi adapter
A Wi-Fi adapter is, in its own way, a universal tool, thanks to which the user has access to work on the Internet. Very often you can find built-in Wi-Fi adapters. Most often, they are located directly in the computer or laptop itself. Each type of Wi-Fi adapter has different functions. For example, some of them can only receive a signal, while others can also transmit it.
When choosing and buying a Wi-Fi adapter, you need to decide specifically for yourself - why you will use it. For example, if you already have Wi-Fi Internet at home, but the stationary computer cannot enter the created network, since it simply does not see it. This problem is solved by the usual purchase of a standard Wi-Fi adapter with a signal reception function. In another case, when there is no Wi-Fi, but there is a computer with which you will distribute the Wi-Fi network. As mentioned above, in this case, you will need to buy a Wi-Fi adapter that supports the signal distribution function.
Configuring Wi-Fi adapter
After the Wi-Fi adapter is installed, the network must be configured. This process does not take very long. The most important thing is to follow the instructions exactly. The Wi-Fi adapter is configured slightly differently, depending on the operating system used. For example, the process of configuring the adapter on the Windows 7 operating system.
In the field where the network connection is provided, you need to find the item "Network and Sharing Center". After the appropriate window appears, you need to find "Changing adapter parameters". Then the "Network Connections" window will open. In this folder, you need to find the wireless connection and by right-clicking to bring up the context menu and select the "Properties" item.
In the window that appears, you need to find and select the line "Internet Protocol TCP / IP v4" and click on "Properties". Next, you need to check the box next to the "Get automatically" item (for all values). Confirm this operation by clicking the "OK" button. Then, if a connection has already been created on the router itself, you must select the created connection in the window of all connections and connect to the Wi-Fi network.
Wi-Fi network setup and installation is now complete, and users can easily use it.
