A spotty internet connection can translate into delayed email notifications and even late assignments, which has the potential to diminish your GPA at your online school.

Wired vs. Wireless

Wireless Router

The days of dial-up internet are behind us leaving the options of direct internet connection through a network cable or a wireless router. Particularly for laptop owners such as myself, having wireless internet is a big perk.

Wireless internet is achieved through a wireless router which, in many cases, is provided with the subscription of internet services by your local provider. Since there is a wide range of routers, it’s best to do some research or talk to the person at the electronic store to determine what the best choice would be for your needs. There may be rental options available also.

Wireless Broadband

Some cell phone providers even have wireless broadband services that allow you to connect to the internet at home and anywhere you go with no cables or fuss.

Check out your local internet service providers and compare different options based on your needs. As an online school student on a budget, you may want to consider sharing an internet connection with your neighbor to cut the bill in half.

Do you have a preference between wired and wireless internet?
