Wireless networks can be helpful in organizing your business
or home office of just connecting a series of computers to
each other and to the internet. Setting up a wireless
network is not rocket science. If you think that it is
difficult then you are at the right place. Lets take things
step by step. First lest assume that there are two computers
that need to be connected to each other and the internet.
Aside from the computers there are a few other things that
you might need. First of all you will need to set up a
broadband internet connection with your internet provider.
It needs to be a high speed connection in other words a
broadband connection because a dial up connection will not
function. After you get your connection your internet
provider usually gives you a broadband modem to connect one
of your computers to the internet. If they don’t then you
must get one on your own. Having a connection and a modem, a
broadband modem, means that you can now connect to the
internet. We will not get into the things you would need to
do to connect to the internet, we will assume that you are
connected and we will focus on how to set up your wireless
network. After the modem and the internet connection you
will need a wireless network adapter for every computer you
want to connect to the network. The wireless network adapter
is the component that will receive and send wireless signals
from and to your computer. It will be the component that
will connect your computers to the wireless router. A
wireless router is the next component that you will need. It
is perhaps the single most important component of your
wireless network. The wireless router connects to the
network adapters and creates a network. It is important to
have a fast wireless router as well as good wireless network
adapters for all your computers in order to guarantee fast
connection speeds. Note that even if you have a very fast
internet connection having a slow router and adapters will
only slow everything down when connecting to the internet.
Another thing to keep in mind is that you will need a
separate wireless internet adapter for every computer you
will want to connect to your network. You will only need one
router. The number of computers you can connect to your
wireless network will depend on the specifics of your
wireless router. Once you get all the equipment, once you
install the wireless adapters to your computers then all you
need to do is follow the guidelines and instructions
provided by the manufacturers to configure everything. Most
manufacturers have detailed step by step instructions that
don’t need any special computer skills in order to complete.
The first step would be to install all the network adapters
to your computers. The second step is to configure your
wireless router to your main computer, the one that is
connected to the internet. After that you will need to
connect that router to the internet connection in other
words to the modem. The following step would be to make sure
all the adapters are connected. If you have set up a secure
network make sure all the adapters have the correct
passwords in order for them to connect.
