Now that you have a high-speed Internet connection in your digital home, it's time to cut the multitude of cords running throughout the house by going wireless. Imagine checking work online from the comfort of your outdoor patio chair, accessing your digital music and photo files from your home-office computer downstairs on your living-room TV, or hooking your children's Xbox into online multiplayer gaming without worrying about which room their console is in. Wireless technologies--from Bluetooth to 802.11g--make it all possible. And it's easy, if you have the right gear and know-how.
