1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    The most essential piece of equipment necessary to LAN setup is a router. A router is used link the devices connected to the network so that they can share information and equipment. By connecting the modem to the router, the Internet becomes accessible through the router as well.
    There are two main types of LAN, wired or wireless. Ethernet networks are hard-wired to each computer, while wireless networks use radio waves to transmit information. Wired networks tend to be more secure and faster than wireless ones.

    In a wired network, Ethernet cable is required to connect each computer, printer, or device. Network interface cards (NIC) and an Ethernet router may also be needed. Routers generally come with software to walk you through setting up the network.

    A wireless network requires a wireless router. When making your router purchase, note the range indicated. Most routers provide signals for around 100 feet (30.5 meters) using a
    802.11g wireless network. This is designed for fast data transmission. It is worth noting that a router will not increase your internet speed.
    In order to LAN setup in this way, each computer will need a wireless adapter.
