Building A Wireless Network In Your Home

By: Jason Bauder

If you have more than one computer which most of us do nowadays,
it is important to note that you can now easily and
inexpensively connect them to one network. Its called networking
and although its been around for years, only recently has the
technology become cheap enough to network home computers easily,
inexpensively and most importantly wirelessly.

A few years ago if you wanted to connect two computers in the
same home, they have better be in the same room or else you
would have to drill holes throughout the house to run wires from
one computer to the other. Now it is simple, many manufacturers
make products that easily connect your homes computers to one
network which can all access the internet.

Today's standard is 802.11g which is compatible with the older
802.11B. These standards are used by many companies. You don't
have to worry if a certain component will work on your network,
since all the manufacturers are on the same standard.

In order to have a wireless network, you will need a wireless
network interface card for each computer. This card allows each
computer to communicate with other computers on the network. You
will also need a wireless bridge which is an adapter that plugs
into the internet or server and allows all of the computers in
the network to receive an internet connection or files from the
server.

Setting up a connection is super simple and you usually will be
up and running in no time. Most of the major networking
manufacturers offer technical assistance in case you have any
snags. So if you want to connect all your home computers
together, look into a wireless home network.
