Computer networks have played a major role in expanding the operational boundaries in organizations today. Until now traditional methods of networking, which involves computers, wired directly to a hub or switch are the norm. Recent advances in networking have made it possible for devices to communicate using various light and wave emitting technologies. Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) is a perfect example of one of these emerging technologies, which has enabled computers to communicate with each other without the use of traditional cables. From the thorough, the researchers found that WiFi usage will affect students’ performance among Redang residents in UiTM Dungun, Terengganu.
