Remotely accessing a computer using wifi

Just wondering if it is possible to remotely access a computer that is not using a broadband connection, just wifi.

  • Hi Beth13

     

    As long as it is a strong reliable WiFi connection you should be fine.

     

    • For connecting and doing non-remote control work, any always-on internet connection is sufficient.
    • For remote control, we require a 1.5 Mbit/s (192 Kbyte/s) or higher connection speed on each end, as per FCC guidelines for video streaming. For optimal experience in Full HD resolution, a 2 Mbit/s (256 Kbyte/s) connection is recommended
