I've never really used any wireless components, so I think I need some basic understanding of the concepts.
My rooter is with cable (for now)
My cellphone doesn't have bluetooth (for now)
So what can a MB with WIFI be used for? (e.g. the Asus P5B WIFI Deuxe) ?
1) Is it just to connect to your wireless router?
2) If not what is it then? And Is it of any use without a wireless router?
3) Does it function while the computer is off? (I guess not, but you'll never know these days)
In the future I might acquire some devices like Squeezebox and Lego Mindstorm or wireless gamepads.
Can a WIFI Motherboard be helpful with those?
As you can see I'm a little lost and that is preventing me from upgrading my computer at the moment, because I fear I might miss out on something
