What Is the Difference Between 3G & WiFi When Using a Netbook?
Like tablets and cellphones, some modern netbooks --- compact laptop-style computers with full keyboards --- have the ability to operate over both wireless and mobile Internet. In general, it's best to stick to Wi-Fi where possible, except under certain, very limited circumstances. For example, mobile or 3G connection provides useful backup when Wi-Fi access may be unavailable or restricted.
Sprint Vs. Verizon WiFi
Sprint and Verizon both use "MiFi", which is a mobile wireless technology that allows a single Wi-Fi unit to grab Internet bandwidth on the go. Verizon has a good reputation for data management and its MiFi works just like its Wi-Fi to give its customers customizable, straightforward, Internet access. Sprint offers faster speeds, a more functional and attractive hardware design and GPS connectivity.
Do You Need a Router for WiFi?
Wi-Fi is the industry's catchword for a wireless local-area network (WLAN) that operates according to the international 802.11 standard. What it really means, though, is convenient and fast access to the Internet. Although it's not strictly necessary to have a wireless router to establish a WLAN, you need something to send and receive wireless signals, and a wireless router is the right choice in almost every situation.
