You’ve finally got your home office finished, all nice and freshly painted, over the garage, you put down that Oriental rug that’s been up in the attic for years, you put your employee of the year award over the desk and now you’re setting up your old Routers and computer system. You need to be hooked up to the internet, of course, and you tell your wife you’re going to have the cable company come by. Instead of saying, “That’s nice, honey,” she says, “Another cable hook-up? Why don’t we go wireless instead?” You fall off your chair, say “And just what do you know about wireless, hun?” She gives you one of those withering looks and explains she’s been talking with her friend Janice, and Janice and Bob installed a wireless network in their home last week. It’s costing them a whole lot less than it used to with individual cable hook ups for each computer. “Tell me more,” you say. “Well, she says, it’s really just a matter of buying a few simple pieces of equipment, running a software disc and then plugging it all in. Janice said it’s as easy as connecting a DVD player. Easier.” What we’re looking for, she says, are ethernet cables, Ethernet Hub and Wireless Routers. Routers are pieces of hardware that do that task of routing or forwarding information. In this case it is Wireless Networking. Set-up is simple; it consists of connecting the router to your internet cable, running software, plugging the ethernet cables in, and then plugging into an electrical socket. At this point, your home and office will be online. One more thing, your computer will need a wireless card. Most laptops have them, but if you’ve got a desktop, you can get an external wireless card for under $50 at any computer parts store. They’re simple and painless to plug in and install. You can get one online at www.superwarehouse.com and have it delivered along with your router, Ethernet Cable and hub. You’ll want to buy a good quality wireless card, so there’s no difficulty getting the signal coming to the home office. Position your router in a place where it’s most central to all the computers in the house to maximize signal strength and you’ll be good to go. Now get to work! A home office isn’t for goofing around in, you know! So hook up, it’s quick and easy, and everything you want can be found at www.superwarehouse.com.
