Hi All ,
I am a total novice to this networking world and need few suggestions in setting up a home network.
I have a desktop, 3 laptops and 2 printers that I need to connect in a network and then also connect to the internet. All of the desktops and laptops are running the XP office or XP home version.
My Modem is not physically accessible to the desktops and laptops are work laptops so they would be disconnected in the morning. Is there way I can connect all of these together so that I can use the printers wirelessly from the laptops and desktops.
What do I need to do to be able to connect to the internet. I have the cable modem with me and I am planning to buy a wireless router.
If you could give me some pointers in helping me decide the best router for me (budget ~60$ not a big spender on money 😉 and high security) and any other devices that I might need to use.
Thanks a lot for your help in setting up my home network.
With Best Wishes
Network Novice
