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

Fast Ethernet should be sufficient for home file sharing, gaming, and high-speed Internet access<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Because there can be a multitiude of configurations and\u00a0hardware and software combinations,\u00a0consider these points before jumping into networking your computers;<\/span><\/p>\n

– how many computers do you want to network<\/span><\/p>\n

– whether you want mobile computers included<\/span><\/p>\n

– what operating system(s) are you running<\/span><\/p>\n

– what type of Internet service do you have<\/span><\/p>\n

– how do you plan to use your networked computers<\/span><\/p>\n

– where will the networked computers be located in your home<\/span><\/p>\n

Wired vs Wireless<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Wired:<\/strong><\/span>
\nCost:<\/strong> The cheapest option
\nReliability:<\/strong> High
\nPerformance:<\/strong> Very Good
\nSecurity:<\/strong> Reasonably Good
\nMobility:<\/strong> Limited<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Wireless:<\/strong><\/span>
\nCost:<\/strong> More expensive
\nReliability:<\/strong> Reasonably High – beware of interference
\nPerformance:<\/strong> Good
\nSecurity:<\/strong> Reasonably Good
\nMobility:<\/strong> Excellent<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
