What is Wireless Networking?
Wireless networking is a technology that allows computers to communicate using standard network protocols without the use of any cables or phone lines.
Home Networking
Interested in setting up home network ? You are not alone! More than 35 million homes in the US now have multiple PC's. Every one of those households is a candidate for a home network.
Internet Connection Sharing is the 'killer app' - the driving force behind getting a home network. Imagine each of your PC's hooking up to the Internet through a single connection. Imagine being able to share your printer or send files between computers almost instantly!
Let's take a look at the variety of home networking alternatives.
Home Networking Fundamentals . There are two basic types of networks - wired and wireless. The equipment for a wired network costs less, but requires running Ethernet cables to every computer.
In my house, running new wires to every computer would have been costly, and a real pain to accomplish. The best solution was to put in a wireless network. The convenience and freedom to move everywhere with my laptop made the additional cost worthwhile.
Wireless Home Networks require a "router" which distributes the signal to each computer. Also, each computer needs a wireless card installed to receive signal.
Wired Home Networks require a router/hub, Ethernet cables, and an Ethernet adapter (NIC card) in each computer.
