If you have more than one computer at home, you should probably connect them together and setup your home network. A home network is very easy to setup. In this article I am going to share some tips on how to setup a home network. There are two types of home networks, wired home network and wireless home network.

Wired Network

While wired home networks are popular but they require you to run wires from one computer to another. You might have to drill holes into the wall or run wire under the carpet. If you don’t want chords running all over the place you can easily get rid of them with a wireless home network.

Wireless Network

Wireless home networks are extremely easy to set up. You only need a wireless router and a wireless networking card for each additional computer you would like to hook up. Most wireless networks can send and receive data lightening fast at megabytes per second. Wireless networks are extremely inexpensive, you can hook up a few computers for less than $100-$200. The great part of wireless home networks is that all computers connected to the wireless network can use the same internet connection or other resources such as a scanner and printer.

So if you are looking for a great way to share data and resources among your home computer, opt for a home network.
