Tech Yoda’s Tip of the Week: Wireless the Right Way

Wireless internet is fantastic, but there are some things you should know before using it:

• Wired internet is faster than wireless, so if you have access to a port and have a cable with you, you might as well plug it in
• Wireless cards use more energy, and will drain your laptop battery faster--if you can plug into power, do so, or, if you're not using the internet, turn your wireless card off
• When using a wired connection, turn your wireless card off so they don't conflict and confuse your computer
• Wired internet is more secure than wireless, so be careful about the sensitive information you are sharing when using wireless

Happy computing!
