With technology evolving at a lightening pace, there is a need for each and every one of us to try and keep up to speed. Changes in technology are bound to affect us all in one-way or another. For example, you have a personal computer that can be connected to a number of peripheral devices, including digital cameras, USB sticks and iPods, amongst others. These devices are now hitting the market equipped with the latest connection technology, so you need to understand what is going on if you are to be able to interface them with your PC. This article will guide you on how to set up a wireless network.
A wireless network is the next level of the Local Area Network. A wireless network works on exactly the same principles as a LAN, except that there are no cables. Instead, a wireless network transmits radio wave signals to enable all your devices to communicate with each other.
How do you connect your computer to other computers via a wireless network? The fist step involves the installation of an access point to serve as a network hub for all the computers in the group that you want to connect together. The number of computers that can be supported by a single hub ranges from 8 to 16 and depends on the access point model you choose.
The second step is to simply connect the access point to the physical network of computers you want to include.
