Should I or should I not stay with my antiquated wired computer system?  Or,The Advantages of Going Wireless Articles should I join millions of other computer owners and go wireless?  It is not as difficult as you may think to use a wireless network diagram when setting up your home computer.  Establishing a computer network will give you the opportunity to share information with friends and family and to easily link all of your computers to one system. 

A wireless home network is advantageous and logical for many reasons.  Building a wireless home network using a wireless network diagram is easy.  

There are just three easy steps to follow:  1.)  Identify the WLAN design that suits your needs, 2.)  Select appropriate wireless gear, and 3.)  Install the gear and do the necessary tests on the configured WLAN.  You should also determine your own specific needs when contemplating setting up a wireless network.  These needs might include the specific location of your computer(s), printer(s) and any other electronic devises that might have an effect on your final network design.  It is also imperative that you do   adequate research so that you purchase compatible gear when setting up your wireless network.  And, are you thinking about shared internet access?  If so, this needs to be considered in your network design along with such things as reach and speed.  Your current and future needs are important too.  If you are planning on adding more computers to your network then it is critical that this is factored into your initial network design.
