Wireless technology has provided different advantages as well as disadvantages to people. The biggest advantage of wireless technology has been the elimination of cables. In an organization, a wireless network, Local Area Network (Lan) can be set up to provide users with easy access to all types of data on the Internet. The major disadvantage of wireless technology is that it has the potential to lose interference due to climatic conditions such as rain. This technology has gained popularity ever since it has been developed and nowadays wireless technology such as Wide Area Network (WAN) can establish networks from one part of the world to the other. In this way sufficient information can be shared and transmitted very quickly, effectively and efficiently. The equipment that is needed to build wireless technology includes network adapters (NICs), access points (APs), and routers (Mitchell, p. 1).
