A data connection on your Windows Phone 7 device can go a long way to enhancing your productivity while on the go. But it can't meet all your needs at all times. Sometimes you need your laptop. While there's no shortage of Wi-Fi hotspots these days, there isn't always one available when you need one. In those instances, you can use your Windows Phone 7 device as your own personal mobile Wi-Fi hotspot with Windows Phone 7's Internet Sharing.
If you have a home network, you surely need a printer installed. If you are planning to buy one soon, you should consider a wireless printer. Why? Lots of good reasons: it allows you to print from anywhere in your home (any computer or smartphone), it helps you eliminate one more wire, and it allows you to place the printer in accessible places so that you are not bothered by others.
If you want to get rid of wires in your home, you will be tempted to use USB wireless network adapters on your desktop computers. If you want to do this, then you should know that installing such adapters can bring a bit of trouble at times. That’s why we created this tutorial, to guide you through the process of installing a USB wireless network adapter on your Windows 7 computer.
