To set up a home wireless network you need a broadband or high-speed Internet connection (not a dial-up connection) provided by an Internet service provider (ISP), usually for a monthly fee. Two common broadband technologies are Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) and cable technology. These require a DSL modem or a cable modem (often provided by your ISP). After you have an ISP and a modem, you're ready to connect to the Internet for the home wireless network. The window 7 operating system fully supports home wireless network. If you need to purchase routers for your home wireless network make sure that you buy a wireless router and not a wireless access point. The Linksys router is a popular router for wireless networks because it is simple and easy set up for home wireless network system. If you do not want to buy a wireless router or if you want to connect computers or devices temporarily for a specific purpose, like sharing devices or games, you can set up a temporary home wireless network without a router. This is called an ad hoc network.

There's an intriguing website called "Can You Crack It?" which I recently visited.

It's got a dark and mysterious feel to it, and in the center of the page is a bunch of coding that you need to decipher.

It's only a few lines of characters of code, and there's even a large countdown timer at the bottom to tease you to crack the code as fast as you can.

Being an enthusiastic coder myself, with an interest in solving puzzles, I tried to reveal the secret code in order to figure out the keyword.

After an hour, as well as some break time, I still couldnt figure it out!

Maybe you'll have better luck cracking the code…

The town council of Blackpool, England has successfully installed a combined indoor and outdoor wireless LAN with the goal of regenerating and revitalizing the town by providing faster and safer technology for public employees, students and visitors. The network provides a high level of wireless network security for government agency employees, along with filtered content and access for students and teachers and guest network access for tourists and other visitors.

The trick to pulling off this combination is a wireless LAN strategy that uses a Fortinet appliance to enable firewalling, visibility and policy enforcement among wireless network users on a mostly Cisco-based network. The wireless network is delivered to outdoor users via the city council's street lighting infrastructure to hang wireless access points. For indoor wireless users, the network is delivered via Cisco wireless AP.
