Bonza Mobile Computer Repairs

Computer networks for the home and small business can be built using either wired or wireless technology. Wired Ethernet has been the traditional choice in homes, but Wi-Fi wireless technologies can offer superior performance.

Fast Ethernet should be sufficient for home file sharing, gaming, and high-speed Internet access.

Because there can be a multitiude of configurations and hardware and software combinations, consider these points before jumping into networking your computers;

– how many computers do you want to network

– whether you want mobile computers included

– what operating system(s) are you running

– what type of Internet service do you have

– how do you plan to use your networked computers

– where will the networked computers be located in your home

Cost: The cheapest option
