A network allows you the freedom of using every PC and
connected device in the house, from one central point. You might have a large
laser printer that looks a bit unsightly in your living room but with a wireless
network, you can put the printer out of sight with the aid of a wireless print
server.
As well as using PCs, you can also use a notebook to connect
to a wireless network from anywhere in the house. Depending on your type of
wireless network, you can even go into the garden on a summer’s day and work
outside!
How are the machines connected?
When deciding on a network, you need to make one of two
decisions, a wired network or a wireless one. If your machines are in the same
room then a wired network could be an option, but if you have 1 pc upstairs and
1 downstairs then a wireless network would be recommended.
