Wireless Home Network Setup
By jone
Expand YourHome Office Into Your Living Room Do you have too many wiresbehind your collecting dust and creating a tangled mess? If you'relike me, the answer (was) yes. That is until I set up a wirelessnetwork in my home office. The advantage to having a wireless home networkis the ability to add or remove any number of computers and wireless deviceswithout drilling holes or running cable from room to room. After just one dayof wireless home network set up, you can network desktop computers in differentrooms and carry your laptop from room to room or even outside. Settingup a wireless network is much easier now that stores are flooded withname-brand products at very affordable prices. Here is an overview of what youneed to set up your wireless home network. Checklist For Setting Up AWireless Home NetworkSetting up a wireless homenetwork does require that you purchase some hardware. The hardware youwill need is similar in function to the existing hardware creatingyour wired jungle. Each desktop on your wireless home network willneed a wireless network adaptor, and assuming you're already connected to theInternet, you'll need a central processing point like a Linksys or Belkinwireless router to manage data transfer between each computer, printer and theInternet. Before running out to Circuit City or Best Buy, check and see if yourdesktop has a wireless network adaptor pre-installed. If you don'thave your purchase receipt handy, simply look in the back or your fora thick plastic wireless antenna. If you only see large telephone inputconnections (called RJ-45 ports), then your desktop is probably notset up for a wireless network. If no wireless network adaptor is pre-installed,there are a couple of things you can do. If your desktop computerhas a free PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) slot, you can purchase andinstall an internal wireless network adapter. If you don't see PCI listed onyour purchase receipt and you're not comfortable fumbling aroundinside your computer, don't worry. It's probably easier to buy an externalwireless g USB network adapter. USB means you can just plug it in like anyother USB device, "g" we will discuss shortly. Have comfort inknowing that Windows XP will do most of the wireless network adapterinstallation for you thanks to something called "Plug and Play." Today, most laptopcomputers are already geared for a wireless home network. To see if your laptopcomputer has an internal wireless network adaptor, Windows XP users can click'Start' and select 'Settings' then go into 'Control Panel.' In the ControlPanel, click the icon called 'System' to open the System folder and click the'Hardware' tab. Look for a button called 'Device Manager.' After you select theDevice Manager you will see a list of hardware installed on your computer,scroll down to 'Network Adaptors' and open the sub-folder by clicking on the'plus' sign. If one of the adaptors is wireless, then you're good-to-go. Ifyour laptop doesn't have a wireless network adaptor pre-installed,don't worry. You can easily install a PC-Card wireless network adaptor, or thesame external wireless g USB network adapter that a desktop would use.
