Things Needed for Home Wireless Network
To set up a home wireless network you need a broadband or high-speed Internet connection (not a dial-up connection) provided by an Internet service provider (ISP), usually for a monthly fee. Two common broadband technologies are Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) and cable technology. These require a DSL modem or a cable modem (often provided by your ISP). After you have an ISP and a modem, you're ready to connect to the Internet for the home wireless network. The window 7 operating system fully supports home wireless network. If you need to purchase routers for your home wireless network make sure that you buy a wireless router and not a wireless access point. The Linksys router is a popular router for wireless networks because it is simple and easy set up for home wireless network system. If you do not want to buy a wireless router or if you want to connect computers or devices temporarily for a specific purpose, like sharing devices or games, you can set up a temporary home wireless network without a router. This is called an ad hoc network.
