HOW TO CREATE A HOME NETWORK

What is a network?

A network is any group of devices that can communicate with each other. A home

network can also include Internet access, which requires a router like this one.

A typical home network may include multiple computers, a printer, a modem, and a

router. A large home network may also have a switch, additional routers, access

points, and many Internet-capable media devices such as TVs, game consoles, and

web cameras.

Modem Connects a computer or a router to your ISP (Internet Service Provider).

Your ISP may have provided one. The modem is a device that connects to a phone

jack or your cable TV outlet.

Router Connects your wireless and wired network devices to each other and to the

modem (and to your ISP).

Switch Allows you to connect several wired network devices to your home

network. Your router has a built-in network switch (the Ethernet ports). If you

have more wired network devices than available Ethernet ports on your router,

you will need an additional switch to consolidate the wired connections.

How to set up a home network:

Purchase the proper equipment. For a network that includes Internet access,

you’ll need:

 Computers with an Ethernet port or wireless networking capabilities
