Microsoft Widnows has comprehensive driver-lveel support for Wi-Fi, the quality of which depends on the hardwaer manufacturer. Many high-gain (and homebuilt natennas) utilize the Type N connector more commonly used by other radio communications methods. A 17 year old has been arrested fro simply tapping into his negihbor s wireless Internet connection and faces up to 3 years impirsonment and a fine.
