I know we all survived quite nicely in the
past, without a home network, and even only one computer per household.
However now days, most households have more than one computer and in this
case, why not setup a home computer network.
Here are some benefits of having a
home network
Share a printer between your
computers on your home network. This means that you only have to have the
one printer connected to a main computer. The other computers access the
printer through the network. See
How to add a network printer.
Store files on one computer You can
store a copy of all files on one main computer on your home network. This
will save precious space on your other computers. You will only have to
backup one main computer.
Share an internet connection This is
by far the best benefit of a home network. All you need is a modem and a
router to share the internet connection will any computer in your house.
Even better if you have a wireless router, therefore having no cords and
cables to deal with.
Multi-player games If you haven't
tried it, you should. Playing a game against your family or friends on your
home network can be a real thrill. There are so many games out there that
are LAN compatible, you are sure to find one you like.
Just think....You will not have to copy a
file onto a disc, floppy, or usb flash drive, to transfer files from one
computer to another.
