Perhaps you purchased a new laptop, a tablet, a new machine for your spouse, or maybe just another machine for yourself. Perhaps you just want to connect your smartphone via Wi-Fi when you&#8217;re at home to reduce the usage of your mobile data plan.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;d like to be able to connect them all to the internet and it&#8217;d also be nice to be able to share things, like printers or extra disk space, among your machines.<\/p>\n<p>You, my friend, need a LAN, or Local Area Network. There are lots of ways to set one up; I&#8217;ll review the basic setup for the most common case.<\/p>\n<p>Already have a network, but not sure how to grow it? I&#8217;ll look at that, too.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nWired Ethernet<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The basis of your LAN will be ethernet. The word has a very specific technical meaning, but in common use, it&#8217;s simply the technology behind 99% of computer networks. Most computers now come already equipped with an ethernet adapter \u2013 it&#8217;s the squarish hole that accepts what looks like an oversized North American modular phone jack.<\/p>\n<p>Your broadband connection being cable, DSL, or something else will first go through some kind of device typically called a modem (again, somewhat technically inaccurate, but it&#8217;s the common term). The modem&#8217;s job is to convert the broadband signal to ethernet.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll connect that ethernet from your broadband modem to a broadband router. Routers control two important things \u2013 as the name implies, they &#8220;route&#8221; information between computers on your LAN and between those computers and the broadband connection to the internet. The other important function (if you get what&#8217;s called a NAT router) is that they provide a very efficient firewall \u2013 protecting the computers on your LAN from many of the dangers of the internet. As a side effect, a NAT router allows you to share a single broadband connection among multiple computers and other networked devices.<\/p>\n<p>Each of your computers will need an ethernet adapter and most will already have them. An ethernet cable will run from each computer to the router and another cable will connect the router to the modem.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ask-leo.com\/how_should_i_set_up_my_home_network.html\" target=\"_blank\"> Read the rest of the story here.<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This post is excerpted with permission from Leo Notenboom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/techtalk.pcpitstop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/home_network.jpg\" alt=\"building and growing a home network\" title=\"building and growing a home network\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-36528\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A home network allows you to both share a single internet connection as well as share data and devices between multiple devices.
