Wired

Home Or Office NetworkingWith most homes or offices having a fast broadband connection and an increasing number having more than one computer, more and more people are starting to investigate setting up a network.

Setting up a network is a great way to get more use out of your computers and peripherals, and to have more fun with them. With a network, you can:

Share a single Internet connection among multiple computers.Share files among computers.Use a printer connected to a different computer or to the networkPlay recorded TV, videos, and digital music stored on your computer on your Xbox 360

Choosing which type of network to install can be tricky. A wired network? or a wireless network?

Wired networks, also known as Ethernet networks, connect your computer to your Internet connection and other computers using cables that look like a thick phone wire.

Wireless networks use radio waves to transfer data between computers and peripherals.

While both have their advantages, they also have their disadvantages.

As you will see below, there are many ways in which you can set up a home wired or wireless network. The same applies in an office environment.

The range of equipment available is mind boggling. It varies dramatically in price and function. Having installed well over 500 wired or wireless networks I have come to rely on certain products which, while they may not be the cheapest (but they are far from the most expensive), have proven to be very reliable.

If you would like to know more about setting up a home/office wired or wireless network, or you already have one and would like to make sure it is set up securely and correctly, or you have any questions about computer related issues, then feel free to mail me.
