Description: If you want to set up your own network, (more...) and you have multiple computers, you will need to set up a router. Cable (wired) routers, while still legitimate, are quickly becoming obsolete so this article focuses on wireless routers.
Most retail wireless routers will cover a large area in your home or office. However, to cut down on cable usage, you may want to place the router as close to your modem as possible. Your modem will have a phone line connection so it will be less mobile. Ideally, you would want your modem and router to be one device. Many ISPs will give you a modem/router but you'll have to request it.
Wireless routers have built-in installation software that you connect with and use via an internet browser. You don't need an internet connection to configure your wireless router. In fact, you can setup a network without an internet connection at all. (less)

First Steps in Computer Networking -- Get it Together

Description: Computer networking can be a tricky. (more...) With different devices and protocols, things can get mixed up rather quickly. However, learning the basics should be manageable for the average computer user. Below explains the first networking building block—connecting computers to the network.
Until recently, the most common way to connect computers directly was with an Ethernet cable, or an Ethernet cable via a hub. However, wireless technologies make connecting even easier. Instead of a cable, think of a wireless network as having invisible, or radio signal, cables.
To connect computers in a wireless network, even if you don't have an internet connection, can be done very easily—no router required. If the computers have Wi-Fi devices, whether built in or added, you can create an "ad-hoc" wireless network by configuring the computers to ad-hoc mode. (less)

Description: Any small business that has more than (more...) one computer should have a network. A network allows all computers to connect and share data between each other, share an internet connection and share peripherals such as printers and fax machines.
The average small business network will require devices to connect to each other and access the internet. While many businesses still use wired local area networks (LANs), wireless networks are becoming increasingly popular. However, many modern businesses combine the two. Based on this model, the primary features of the network should be as follows:
Wired Local Area Network (LAN) - This will connect all desktops, peripherals and servers. It's possible to make the connection via a hub. However, the best option is to use switches where information is only sent to the intended recipient on the network. Switches use MAC—hardware—addresses to identify where information should be sent. Because devices are connected by Ethernet cable, transfer speeds are generally very fast. (less)

Description: For the uninitiated, network design can (more...) be a daunting subject with its seemingly mystical jargon and ever changing protocols. However, once you have a basic knowledge of the equipment involved, myths about networking will be dispelled. The following will walk you through the basic building blocks of a computer network.
While it's possible to create a network by simply connecting two computers together with an Ethernet cable or wireless router, most modern networks are more complex. Most corporate networks connect more than ten computers together along with internet connections and network peripherals.
Modems
Most networks will share an internet connection. Traditionally, modems were designed for dial-up connections but cable/DSL modems are now the norm. Newer cable/DSL modems can handle up to 10 Mbps Ethernet connections, although most internet service providers won't match the higher speeds. Those corporations with higher bandwidth needs require multiple modems with multiple internet connections. (less)

Description: Bus networks are most certainly the (more...) easiest type of computer network to set up and can be very effective with a limited number of connected devices.
With a bus network, computers and devices are connected via a single cable. Devices communicate with each other via cable data transmission.
By far the easiest to setup and extend, a bus network's cable is also its biggest downfall. If the cable goes down, the network goes down. (less)

Description: If you have more than one computer in (more...) your home, there are many benefits to setting up your own home network. Whether you hook up your computers with cables or wirelessly, a network will give you the power to share your internet connection, files, and peripherals.
If you have an internet connection, you will want share it with all the computers in your home. To make this happen, it's easiest to build a wireless network. You'll forgo to headaches of running cable throughout your house. And, you can add other computers, devices, or peripherals almost instantly.
Once you have your home network set up, you will find you can put it to use in many ways. You can share files between computers and even remotely access the other computers in your home using a terminal service. (less)

How to Secure Your Wireless Network

Description: Wireless technology has revolutionized (more...) home networking in the past few years. However, because of increasing signal strength, wireless signals will often extend farther than the boundaries of your home and may be picked up by other computers—sometimes as much as two or three blocks away! Because of this, it's essential that you secure your wireless network properly. The following are tips on how to do this.
The first and easiest task is turn firewalls on. This includes computers on the wireless network as well as on your router. Almost all computers with wireless capabilities will have the option to turn on and off a firewall. Make sure that each computer has its own unique user name and password.
All wireless routers, via a standard IP address, allow you access and set up the equipment. Here, you enter your network address and other important information. Be sure to change the default username and password that allows you to access this page. And don't forget to write down your changes!
Every computer accessing a wireless router will have a MAC address. One technique to secure your network is to only allow computers with certain MAC addresses to access the network. If you only have a few computers, this shouldn't be a time consuming process. (less)

Description: If you are setting up a business network (more...) security should be one of your chief concerns. Any good small business network will be protected by both hardware and software firewalls that should be configured by a trained networking professional. However, further steps should be taken to protect both the network hardware and the valuable information that it stores.
Electrical power
Perhaps one of the greatest threats to computer networks is power surges and voltage spikes. In fact, it is not unknown for computers, servers and peripherals on entire networks to be destroyed by power surges when they have been left unprotected.
Because of this, some form of surge protector is essential that will prevent voltage spikes from damaging equipment. This should either block the surge or short the system so the voltage spike does not reach the equipment.
Most networks will also use uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) to prevent brief power cuts from shutting down the network. These can ensure that the network stays up and running for anything for a few minutes to a number of hours depending on the equipment. (less)

The Good and Bad of P2P Networking

Description: There is a different kind of networking (more...) that is becoming an increasingly common experience in the average internet user's daily life. That networking design is referred to as peer-to-peer, or P2P, networking.
Basically, a P2P network is an ad hoc network that connects participants directly, rather than through a central point. The combined bandwidth of participants is used to transfer data. There are no clients and servers and each node is an equal on the network — creating the "peer" in P2P.
Today, P2P networks are most commonly used for sharing files real-time data transfer. Most people think of the high profile Napster case a few years ago that involved illegally file sharing — namely music. So, unfortunately, there are still negative connotations associated with the term peer-to-peer. (less)
