Considerations for Using Wireless
Connections
• Mobility - if the majority of your network is laptop computers, wireless is more portable than wired
connections.
• Convenience - wireless networks do not require cabling of individual computers or opening com-
puter cases to install network cards.
• Speed - if network speed is important to you, you may want to consider using Ethernet connec-
tions rather than wireless connections.
• Range and Coverage - if your network environment contains numerous physical barriers or inter-
ference factors, wireless networking may not be suitable for your network.
• Security - wireless networks have inherent security issues due to the unrestricted nature of the
wireless transmissions. However, the TZ 50 Wireless/TZ 150 Wireless/TZ 170 Wireless is a fire-
wall and has NAT capabilities which provides security, and you can use WiFiSec to secure data
transmissions.
