connection. Also choose this if you're connecting to
a hotspot.

*Broadband (PPPoE)
Choose this if your computer is connected directly
to a broadband modem (also called a Digital
Subscriber Line (DSL) or cable modem), and you

you need to provide a user name and password to

or cable modem, or if you want to use Integrated
Services Digital Network (ISDN) to connect your
computer to the Internet.

(b) Identify the benefits and drawbacks of the
connection method used (1.2)

Benefits connection method:-

*Wireless
Wireless networks provide an inexpensive and easy
way to share a single Internet connection among
several computers.

you won't be charged based on the connection
duration.

*Dial-up

A dial-up connection is much safer than any other
technology because of the rotation of the IP
addresses, assigned to a user.

Drawbacks connection method:-

*Wireless
The network can be less stable. Wireless reception
may be impaired by a number of factors including
large distances or objects between wireless devices,
and other wireless networks.

*Broadband
Higher security risk than dialup connection, a
personal firewall is needed to protect your
computer.

*Dial-up
It Requires a Phone Line, when you're online with
a dial-up connection, you cannot use your phone.

all programs you no longer use.
