Why install a network?
Home and business networks (intranets) can increase productivity by allowing resource sharing of files, printers, routers and many other devices. They can also increase entertainment by allowing head to head gaming and sharing of music and videos.
Network connection options
There are many networking topologies to choose from. Connections can be made through:
- Ethernet Cat 5 cable
- Existing telephone lines (HomePNA spec 3.0)
- Existing electrical wiring
- Wireless WiFi 802.11x
Networked PCs can share an internet connection through a router. This can be wired or wireless WiFi 802.11x, or both. Also many routers provide additional security features such as voice over IP (VoIP), encrypted transmission, and firewalls.
You may want to limit access to some resources through security measures.
