6. Warning
Wi-Fi offers greater speed and range than Bluetooth, but it
drains your portable device batteries a lot faster than Bluetooth
does. In fact, if you use a Wi-Fi connection regularly on your
laptop PC, you'll undoubtedly notice that you need to recharge
more often. If you need to conserve battery life — on a long trip
for example — turn off your Wi-Fi connection when you don't
actually need it.
7. Security
Because wireless networks rely on radio signals to transmit
data, they are not as secure as wire network. Wireless networks
are susceptible to viruses and breaches like eavesdropping and
need to be protected in order to be secure.
There are many security measures to safeguard wireless
networks, protect the data, and keep unauthorized users out of
WiFi Hotspots, on the other hand, are often free of standard
security practices in an effort to make it easy for anyone to
connect. It may be found that some paid WiFi Hotspots
administered by service providers offer have some level of
security, however, when using a WiFi Hotspot, it’s always a
good idea to be proactive and to employ security measures of
your own.
