Wi-Fi
-
Wi-Fi networks are short-range wireless networks used to connect computers and devices to each other and the Internet. To access a Wi-Fi network, a computer needs a Wi-Fi adapter. Manufacturers such as Belkin, NETGEAR and LG all sell Wi-Fi adapters that are compatible with Windows Vista.
Bluetooth
-
Bluetooth technology allows compatible devices to communicate wirelessly over very short distances. Wireless headphones, computer mice and keyboards often use Bluetooth technology, but the computer on which the device is used must have a Bluetooth adapter. IOGear, Belkin and Pioneer are among the manufacturers selling Bluetooth adapters compatible with Windows Vista.

Mobile

Mobile networks developed for use by cellular phones also can be accessed from laptops using the appropriate wireless adapter. These adapters are typically sold by cellular service providers such as AT&T, US Cellular and Verizon.
