Home Networking

HOME NETWORKING

Home networking is one of the fastest growing trends in broadband today. More than half of broadband households currently have a home network installed. It's time to consider a home network.

The #1 reason to network is to share your internet connection to all your internet ready devices

A home network allows you to share your computer's:

HARDWARE

Printers, scanners, CD/DVD drives and gaming consoles. This can mean financial savings as well as saving the space vs. having multiple devices.

FILES

No need to copy files to portable media and transfer them manually. Networks create the possibility for Shared Folders, which ideally contain documents that are required by multiple users i.e templates, photos. This provides a great convenience.

SOFTWARE

Copy the contents of your installation disks to a drive on one of your networked computers and install programs from the network instead of from CD/DVD ROM. This is much faster and you always know where to find the software. It is also VERY efficient when redoing a a computer. An added benefit of this is that you can store the original copy of your software as the backup copy, reducing the risk of damage.
* BE SURE to follow the licensing guidelines for each software.
