Intel’s new My Wi-Fi technology enables the creation of a Personal Area Network [PAN]; basically your own personal Wi-Fi network which you can use to connect your laptop with eight other clients or better still share an incoming internet connection with those eight clients and pay for just the one connection.
If your laptop is based on the Intel Centrino 2 processor then a simple wireless driver and software update will have My Wi-Fi running on your machine. My Wi-Fi allows a dual interface in which your computer stays connected to one access point as well as clients connected in the PAN. This is made possible with the help of the Intel 5100 Wi-Fi and 5300 Wi-Fi Link adapters to enable both wireless LAN and Wi-Fi PAN connections simultaneously. Running the two networks simultaneously and separately opens up interesting sharing and networking possibilities.
My Wi-Fi works with all Wi-Fi equipped consumer devices. Intel has attempted to address the issue of security with a “push-button encryption” that lets both devices talk to one another in a secure mode.
