Setting Up A Network

To try and keep it simple setting up a network there are two ways you could go. Wired and wireless either one will get the job done but each has it's own benefits. A wired network runs faster than a wireless and is more affordable. The only way a wired network could get costly is if you had to add more computers. Adding more computers to the network would require more cables in setting up your network. The wireless network has its benefits too. No wires to run, and a quicker set up of your network. Makes the process a whole lot easier.

If your wired you will need a network interface card (NIC) for each computer you are setting up and a router. If you are going wireless the same would apply except everything is design to be wireless. Again keep in mine this may be a little more costly. There is always the power-line or phone-line option of setting up your network. It works on the concepts of using the existing wires that run through the walls in your home. This project is something you can do yourself and most companies offer free set up support for first time users through their tech support numbers. Everything should have installation software to help walk you through it.

If you are unsure of trying this yourself always ask the store where you are purchasing if they do installations most do now a days. I would not recommend having a buddy who thinks he knows how to do it because he saw a special on networking and believes he is now qualified to rewire the world. That too could be costly always go with a expert. Please once again any questions you have feel free to ask. Any comments you have please post it will help with future postings.
