What is a home network?

If you have more than one computer in your house, you may want to consider their home network connection. The home network allows multiple computers to interact with each other to share files, sources and internet connection.

File sharing: Files exchange between computers is a standard procedure for anyone who has more than one computer in the house. In the past it was done with Flopies, then CD and now memory sticks. The home network makes it easier than ever, because you have access to any other computer from the comfort and comfort of your own keyboard. Directors and files appear as if they were in your own system. MP3 libraries, digital photos, tables and text processing files are just a click, no matter where it is located on the network. Whether an individual with a laptop and a desktop system, or a large family with multiple computers in the house, home network users find that file sharing is one of the largest Enfortriends.

Source sharing: Home network allows all computers to access one printer. This not only saves expensive multiple printers, but also allows the purchase of a single top printer that everyone can use. If more than one person on the home network sends data to the printer, the jobs will enter the queue. Another central source may be a scanner. With low hard drive prices, a large central unit can even back up all computers on the home network.

Shared Internet Access: One of the most popular reasons for home network is sharing high -speed Internet connection like DSL or cable. One account will operate all computers in the house and each family member can use the connection simultaneously on its own system.

Gaming: If your family is big to play, home network will allow multiple players to compete against each other from different computers in the house. You cané send images of webcam or DVD to other computers on the network.

The software used in the home network can be set many ways with administrative authorities that can allow limited access. Parents could choose to protect their systems from file sharing, while children's systems can be fully available for the home network.

There are four main technologies that can be used to implement the home network: Ethernet, networking-line network, network networks and wireless networks. Since each of them has advantages and disadvantages, before the decision that is best for you, carefully consider every option. The main issues are concerned about safety, speed, comfort and costs.

Regardless of which technology you choose once installed and configured, you can find out how you ever have a home network together.
