Wi-Fi

2006-12-08 13:57:00 · answer #1 · answered by Danys M 2 · 0 0

Wi Fi is faster but:

Wi Fi connects to a wireless device that attaches to a connection provided by your ISP. So it's not necessarily the same as dial up. Wi Fi is meant to be used on a private home or business network that eventually links to the Internet through an ISP. Dial up links directly to the Internet through an ISP without going through a private home or business network. The most you can get from dialup is 56,000 "miles per hour". From a Wi Fi with vendor specific hardware "108,000,000 miles per hour".

In computer terms 56 Kbps for Dial Up and 108Mbps using Net Gear equipment, but only to the Wi Fi router which is provided by Net Gear in my example. Beyond that it's determined by your ISP.

Wow this is soooo easy:
WI-FI

Dial-Up is a kind of connection for really old computers. Back Then speeds up to 40 Kpbs or higher was FAST,But NOT today. Computers have changed alot in the past years.

Computer Of Before: (1994 and before)
32-Bit Processor (Some Still 16-Bit)
Single Core Processor
33/66 MHz Turbo Processor (33 MHz is normal, Turbo Is 66 Mhz)
32 MB System RAM
4 MB Video RAM
1024x768 Res. 256 Color, Or Monochrome
Flopy Drive
100 MB Hard Drive
Internet is Dial-Up
(Note: NO CD-ROM Drives)

Computers A Little Before: (1995-2001)
32-Bit Processor
Single Core Processor
100Mhz-500Mhz Processor
128-256 MB System RAM (512 MB not common yet)
32-64 MB Video RAM
10-40 GB Hard Drive
CD-ROM Drive, (CD-R/RW Drive still in development)
Internet: Dial-Up (Ethernet For More recent office computers)

Computers NOW: (2003-Present)
32-Bit and 64-Bit Processor
Single Core or Dual Core Processor
1Ghz or Higher Processor
256-8GB System RAM
32 MB-512MB Video RAM
20 GB- 1 TB Hard Drive
DVD-R/RW Drives
Ethernet Or DSL as internet connection.


Wi-Fi Is used most commonly in Laptops.
There is 5 Differnet Types (1 still in development)
IEEE 802.11-Legacy: (Already Discontinued)
Released on 1997
2 Mbps Transfer Rate (Max)

IEEE 802.11-A
Released: 1999
54 Mbps Transfer Rate (Max)

IEEE 802.11-B
Releassed: 1999
11 Mbps Transfer rate (Max)

IEEE 802.11-G
Released: June 2003
54 Mbps Transfer Rate (Max)

IEEE 802.11-N
EXPECTED Release Date: November 2007
540 Mbps Transfer Rate (Max)

The Most Commonly Used Is Wireless- B & G

Dial-UP:
Modern dial-up modems typically have a maximum theoretical speed of 56 Kbps. although in most cases only up to 53 kpbs is possible due to overhead and FCC regulation. These speeds are currently considered the maximum possible; in many cases transfer speeds will be lower, averaging anywhere between 33-43 kpbs.


Go For Wi-Fi and Get Broadband (Btw, DO NOT GET DSL)

Depends.

Dial-up with current standards close to the phone company switching station, will be quicker than a weak wi-fi connection.

And I am assuming that the wi-fi is not giving you access to your dial-up internet connection. That would give you fast access to a slow connection. You should be able to figure out the end result.

Then there is security, reliability, etc etc.

If it was simple, I would not have a job.
