WiFi Cable - What is it and How Does It Work? (What is Cable Wi-Fi)

#WiFiCable #CableWifiWhat is WiFi Cable and How Does It Work? Without WiFi we would lead less connected lives and struggle to achieve all our goals. The ‘wireless’ part of WiFi may lead you to believe that no cabling is required. But this is a myth. WiFi cables are still important elements of wireless connections. And, when it comes to Cable WiFi, they are indispensable in providing a WiFi connection. What is Cable WiFi? The cable WiFi experience starts with an internet service provider (ISP) transmitting a data signal direct to your home. If it sounds familiar then it’s because this is the same distribution method employed in cable television services. The data sent by the ISP travels through a coaxial cable with its intended target being your modem. An ethernet cable is then used to connect your modem to a wireless router. This allows you to connect wirelessly to high-speed internet connections. Cable WiFi is well known for its reliability and it can also count widespread availability as one of its major benefits. When it comes to cost, it easily outranks alternate services such as fibre and is considered very affordable for consumers. Also, compared to an older service such as DSL connections, Cable WiFi can offer high connection speeds ranging from 10Mbps up to 1,000Mbps. Does WiFi Need to Be Plugged into a Cable? This is one of the most common questions asked by those getting involved with WiFi for the first time. And the answer is a resounding yes. Even if you are going fully wireless you will require some form of ethernet cable to temporarily connect your PC to your router. With Cable WiFi, however, you need an ethernet cable to be in constant contact between your modem and your router. What Cable Do I Need for WiFi? When it comes to your cabling requirements, there are two main cables you will require for cable WiFi: · Coaxial Cable: Connecting your modem with your ISP, the coaxial cable is the route by which data reaches your home. This electrical cable – which uses an inner conductor surrounded by an outer conducting shield – should usually be supplied with your modem. Alternatively, these can be picked up for a relatively low cost at any electrical store. · Ethernet Cable: The term ‘ethernet cable’ refers to any form of cable used to carry internet signals between your modem and any internet-capable devices. Essentially, it’s a network cable. Ethernet cables are double-sided to allow installations which are quick and simple. These are used to connect to ethernet ports located on devices. Newer internet-capable devices may not come with ethernet ports as standard, but there are numerous USB adapters available which will allow easy installations. Know Your Cables Understanding your cable needs is critical when it comes to setting up WiFi connections. Different consumers will have different needs depending on availability of internet services and personal budgets. Nonetheless, if you are dealing with cable WiFi then the solution is relatively simple. With just a coaxial cable and an ethernet cable you can quickly set up a WiFi network. • FOR MORE Q&As PLEASE VISIT OUR KNOWLEDGE CENTRE • Subscribe For More Video Tips On Data Cabling • If You Enjoy These Videos Please Subscribe And “Like“ ✔️ Have A Question About Data Cabling?
