How to Setup a Wireless Network with Linksys
The way that it used to be, is people generally had one computer in their home. World Wide Web access was based on dial-up modems which were connected directly with a serial cable on the home computer. No Local Area Network was needed. The fast progression of modern technology and the adoption of broadband Internet access connectivity at homes, necessitates that home appliances should be networked to facilitate online access and to also communicate and share information between them.
What I mean by home appliances is computers, gaming consoles, wired or wireless printers, and data storage devices like NAS. All of those devices need to communicated between themselves over a LAN, but also need to have high-speed access to the Internet. To achieve that, you will need to set-up a home network. With a home based network you are technically building a local area network, which can be wired or wireless, that networked devices communicate between inside the home, and also share a common broadband internet connectivity.
The heart of a home network is a broadband router. This is usually a device that lets you setup a wired or a wireless network. You can use Ethernet cables if you’re making a wired network, or use Wi-Fi for wireless. This integrated router provides also the Internet access connectivity.
Once you set up a home network, you can connect your home PC and laptop, XBOX or PlayStation consoles, Web cameras for security, Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices etc. After you connect those devices you can share files over the network, organize game parties, play online games, watch your home from the office using a Web Camera etc.
