Another option is to go for some mains networking you would still need the router though. This has some of the advantage of wireless in that you wont need to run CAT5 cable all over the house, just a simple patch lead from the plug socket to the PC would suffice, the network traffic is carried over the mains wiring so in effect wherever there is a mains socket there is potential to network a computer! You also wont have to worry about setting up wireless security either... |
Lets face it. Thats a little bit extreme and expensive just to share an internet connection on another computer.
And there is nothing wrong with sharing a broadband connection either. I install networks for a local authority and it's really easy to do. It just comes down to what an individual wants to use it for and how much they can afford to spend.
I always recommend a hard wired network over a wirless as a wired is much more reliable etc. But it does have it's draw backs, such as having cable runs. Wirless solves this problem and is by far a lot neater.
But wireless in my opinion is not all it is cracked up to be. But remember everyone's opinion is different and we all have our own set way of doing things.
