Setup A Wireless Network And Experience Its Wonders

The Starbuck days are over! Wireless network has arrived for good and at present, you can log on to the net through wireless network and share the connection with your loved ones without the hassle of cables. Although wireless network is quite a boon to us, there are certain problems associated with it as well.

The best part about wireless network is the sharing that can become possible with its use. Apart from the internet connection that can be shared, the files on one computer can be shared with another through one shared drive that is accessible to all members of a family or a network.

Another wonder is that you can even share a printer which will make work so much easier. You can do the work at home and the fellows at the office can instantly get a copy of the work with the help of wireless network.

In order to set up a wireless network, there has to be one “gateway” to the internet that has to be plugged in to this computer. this gateway will be immobile while the others in the network can be wireless.

For establishing the wireless connection with the net, follow these steps:

• Plug in the gateway computer to the internet
• Access the control panel from the start menu of your computer
• Select the “network connections” icon
• Run the Network Set up Wizard and select the “ set up a home or small office network” option
• As you run the wizard, you will reach a page where it says “select a connection method”
• In this, go for the option that ensures that your computer is directly connected to the internet
• Let the Wizard go on until you reach the end of the set up and click on the finish button to conclude the process.

Repeat the above process, that is, run the above wizard, on all the computers that are to be a part of the network. However, for the wireless network, see to it that after the first computer, you select the “connected to the internet through a network” option instead of the direct connection.

The flipside to the great benefits of this wireless network is that the gateway is the most important part of the whole system. In case there is some problem with it, the whole system loses the internet connectivity. Buying a wireless router is one option that might help.

Despite the flipside of this wireless network system, it is unarguably a very important development because it will help you work on the net from practically anywhere. You can do your job from the bedroom, kitchen or even the bathroom! This wireless network gives you the freedom you never had! Thus, despite the problems, it is indeed a great decision to take advantage of the advancing technology and opt for a wireless connection.
