What is wired network?

Wired networks, also know as Ethernet networks, connect your computer to your Internet connection with a cable that looks like a thick phone wire. Wired networks are highly reliable, very secure, extremely fast, and easy to se up. They’re also the least expressive type of network. you should use a wired network whenever it’s practical. Wired networks also offer better reliability for high-quality video than wireless networks do.

Wired networks do have a drawback, however: the wires. Wires can be messy, and you may need to hire an electrician if the computer you are using is in a different room than the one with the internet connection. Installing a network connection port requires an electrician. (A network connection port looks like a large version of the port you use to plug in your telephone).

Network cables, also know as Ethernet or “Cat 5” cables, can be up to 300 feet long. However, you probably don’t want cables running across your floors. If you have a computer in a different room from your Internet connection and want to connect if to the Internet, you can extend your wired network across your home’s power lines using a wall-plugged network extended kit. When choosing a network extended kit, opt for the fastest speed available.

  With network extender kits, network speeds (known as bandwidth ) vary according to your home’s wiring. Typically, extenders provide about one-third the speed of a standard wired network. that’s fast enough to browse the eb, listen to music across your network, play Internet games, and even wach video (as long as it’s not high-definition video).
