Regarding Wi-Fi, I have used USB dongles that simply work with free
operating systems. These I have used for years. Some Wi-Fi devices in
computers work without problems anyway.
Though these last years, I don't use Wi-Fi directly, I connect to
mobile phone, USB tethering and mobile phone may connect to Wi-Fi.
Now I am connected to Mi-Fi by USB tethering and use GNU/Linux
notebook to route Internet to LAN and other computers.
Thank you! I completely forgot USB tethering existed- it sounds like a much
more practical technique than I had thought it was, which is good.
Ways to connect to Internet:
- USB tethering;
- Wi-Fi, it can work or without USB Wi-Fi dongle;
- wired LAN network to router connecting to Internet;
- direct connection with wire from computer without Internet to
computer with Internet;
- ISDN dial-up and normal telephone dial up;
- cable Internet;
- Bluetooth tethering;
This is computer I am working on right now, but I have many various others.
