Wireless Network.
The benefits of wireless networking are obvious for the business and home user
alike, installation is far easier as there is no need to install trunking or to
have loose lay cabling lying around they are both tidier and in the most part
cheaper to install.
For non business (or home business) users it is also much easier to install home
Pc networks so it no longer matters where your computers are installed. And with
the reduced cost of computers many families now own more than one and can easily
install them in different rooms in the house.
Here are a few benefits from having a home or office network.
- printer / peripheral sharing
- Once a home network is in place, it's easy to then set up all of the computers
to share a single printer. No longer will you need to bounce from one system or
another just to print out an email message. Other computer peripherals can be
shared similarly such as network scanners, Web cams, and CD burners
- file sharing - Network file
sharing between computers gives you more flexibity than using floppy drives or
Zip drives. Not only can you share photos, music files, and documents, you can
also use a home network to save copies of all of your important data on a
different computer. Backups are one of the most critical yet overlooked tasks in home
networking.
- Internet connection sharing
- Using a home network, multiple family members can access the Internet
simultaneously without having to pay an isp for
multiple accounts. You will notice the Internet connection slows down when
several people share it, but broadband Internet can handle the extra load with
little trouble. Sharing dial-up Internet connections works, too. Painfully slow
sometimes, you will still appreciate having shared dial-up on those occasions
you really need it.
- multi-player games - Many
popular home computer games support LAN mode where friends and family can play together, if they have
their computers networked.
- Internet telephone service
- So-called Voice over ip (voip) services allow you
to make and receive phone calls through your home network across the Internet,
saving you money.
- home entertainment - Newer
home entertainment products such as digital video recorders (DVRs) and video
game consoles now support either wired or wireless home networking. Having these
products integrated into your network enables online Internet gaming, video
sharing and other advanced features.
