Home network advice

Postby mattymcrae » Tue Mar 23, 2004 11:11 pm

I have 3 pc's at home and think its about time we could all use the net at the same time. We are having 512 broadband installed and was wondering what sort of hardware and how easy it would be to set up to allow a 3 way simultaneous connection.
I have been told that a wireless network is a good way to go but havnt got a clue what sort of hardware i need.
any help would be great.

You'll need a Wireless Router and Wireless Ethernet Cards for each computer, except the one connected to the Router.
I'd suggest most any brand and get ones using 2.4 Ghz.
What kind of computers are they?

You can purchase wireless network kits... Given the fact you say you have no idea what you're doing maybe you'll be better off doing that..

Most of them come with a wireless router and 2 Wireless Cards.. Then pick up the exact same card and follow the instructions only installing the cards in all 3 pc's instead..

Probably not the best way to do it, but i found it the easiest (I had the exact same problem and was totally baffled by it all)
