The easies way to connect the computers

October 27, 2011

The easiest, least expensive way to connect the computers in your home is to use a wireless network, which uses radio waves instead of wires. The absence of physical wires makes this kind of network very flexible. For example, you can move a laptop from room to room without fiddling with network cables and without losing your connection. The downside is that wireless connections are generally slower than Ethernet connections and they are less secure unless you take measures to protect your network.

Wi-Fi was great for checking e-mail at Starbucks, but it wasn't fast enough or secure enough for an office setting -- even a home office. For speed and security, Ethernet cables were the only way to go.

Understanding Of Hybrid Networks
