Setting up a Home Network

Setting up a home network could not be easier. Most ISP's (Internet Service Providers) provider you with a wireless router which you can connect all your computers and printers to. However if you have a large network you may need to check to see how many devices you can connect to a single wireless router.

If you don't have a wireless router, then you can just as easilr setup a network in about 5 min. Your ISP would have provide you with a router, check to see if this has multiple outlet on the back. If so just connect all your computers to it at you should be fine.

If your router only has one outlet then you will need to buy a network switch. This will split the signal so all the computers connected to the switch will be able to go online.
