To resolve what type of network to set up or to achieve out what hardware and cables you want, see What you want to set up a home network. That topic has fact about the various types of networks also known as network technologies, as well as hardware needs for each type.

1. Install any essential hardware.
2. Set up an Internet connection.
3. Joint the computers.
4. Run the Set Up a Wireless Router or Access Point wizard.

You need a hub, switch or router to join computers using Ethernet. For details about each type of hardware, notice How do hubs, switches, routers and access points differ. To distinct an Internet connection, you require to use a router. Connect the router to the computer that is jointed to the modem.

Wireless Networks:
