Network/WiFi Installation: How to Set Up a Home Network

If you're looking to set up a home network in your home, you've come to the right place. Setting up a home network is a great way to connect all of your computers and devices together, giving you access to shared files, printers, and other networked resources.

The first step to setting up your home network is to decide what type of network you want to create. Generally, the two most popular types of networks are wired and wireless. A wired network consists of connecting computers and devices to each other via cables, while a wireless network uses radio signals to communicate. Each type of network has its own advantages and disadvantages, so it’s important to consider the needs of your home and decide which type is best for you.

Once you’ve chosen the type of network you want to create, you’ll need to purchase the necessary equipment. If you’re setting up a wired network, you’ll need to purchase network cables, a router, and a network switch. If you’re creating a wireless network, you’ll need to purchase a wireless router, wireless access points, and wireless adapters.

The next step is to set up your network. If you’re setting up a wired network, you’ll need to connect the network cables from each computer or device to the router and then to the network switch. If you’re setting up a wireless network, you’ll need to connect the wireless router to the modem, configure the wireless router, and then connect the wireless access points and adapters.

Once your network is set up, you’ll need to configure the security settings. This is an important step to ensure the security of your network. You’ll need to set up a password to protect your network from unauthorized access. You’ll also need to configure the firewall settings, which will help keep malicious software from accessing your network.

Finally, you’ll need to connect your computers and devices to the network. If you’re setting up a wired network, you’ll need to connect each device to the router via a network cable. If you’re setting up a wireless network, you’ll need to configure the wireless adapters for each device.

With all the steps complete, you’re now ready to enjoy your new home network. You’ll be able to access shared files, printers, and other networked resources with ease. Setting up a home network is a great way to make sure all of your devices are connected and working together.

Home automation gets cheaper, smarter, easier

The promise of widely available home automation has been around since "The Jetsons" aired 50 years ago. But until recently, smart- home systems have been pricey and complex, typically requiring professional installation. And few consumers have been aware of the availability of such services or haven't been convinced that they needed them. But in recent years, major consumer service providers — including ADT, Comcast and Vivint — have entered the market, helping promote the concept of home automation and make it more accessible to average consumers. Companies such as Comcast and Vivint now offer basic home-automation systems for less than $500 installed. And Lowe's Iris, which is available for about $300 for a full system, is designed for self-installation. "We definitely see that (home automation) is moving increasingly into the mainstream," said Jonathan Collins, an analyst with ABI Research. Read more: http://www.denverpost.com/ci_22649153/is-smart
