What do you Need for a Wired Home Network?


live.pirillo.com – Mattstech writes “Thought I’d share a basic top 6 list on how to hardwire a home network. For power users like me, wireless just doesn’t provide the speed and reliability that I need. I ran some CAT5e over to my room about a month ago, and wanted to share some tips with the community on how to get started.”

    I need to do this because wireless just doesn’t cut it. I’m sure I’m more than capable of doing the wiring but climbing around in a spider-filled roof cavity won’t be much fun.

    You should be able to, but Windows can only read FAT and NTFS file systems, so you may run into issues as far as file sharing.

    Can someone tell me is there any router or modem connects to ISP or another router wirelessly?

    I need to setup a network where network cable is not available. Eg: home basement.

    help appreciated.

  20. thebudgetgamer says:

    can you mix pc and macs into a wired network?

  21. androfire264 says:

    So?

  22. trpted says:

    While I have been on the Internet since 1995 or earlier, I setup my home (2 or more computers) network way back in 1998 or 1999. ;)

  24. playsmartplay says:

    i run the network
    wireless for my parents upstairs and wired for anything down iin my room
    im 15

  25. mattstech1 says:

    Yeah, I agree with you on that one. There’s a lot of trade-offs for both wireless and wired. It basically comes down to if you have the time to deal with being an “attic monkey”. If not, wireless is still okay. It’s a lot better than no connection at all!
