Home Networking
The question of whether to choose a wired or a
wireless network is still a pretty simple question.
The answer depends on how you intend to use the
network. If you have a wireless laptop that you take
back and forth between home and work, then a
wireless connection is a must. But if you want to
keep your computer files private, or want to watch
high definition television and listen to a
house-wide music system, the only way to go is a
wired network and its underlying structured wiring.
Combining wired and wireless could be the best of
both worlds. You could use a wired network for your
personal computers in your home, and use a wireless
laptop for convenience. In addition, networking
wallplates can have the ability to offer a wireless
access point that can be added by simply plugging
one in. Click on the two links below for more
