Wired
networks are the best way to connect your desktop computer to the
internet and to other computers in your home. While wireless networks
offer flexibility for portable computes, wired networks offer unbeatable
performance, reliability, and security.
If
you have a single computer, connecting to the internet is as simple as
plugging a network cable into your computer and your modem. If you have
more than one computer, you need to connect a router between your modem
and your computers. If one (or more) of your computers is in a
different room from your router, you can use a network extended to
connect the computer.
