The Internet is a magnificent invention of mankind. With it, people can not only communicate at a distance with each other, but also work wherever it is convenient, if the schedule allows. In addition, the World Wide Web is able to provide a large amount of both useful and entertaining information. In general, staying on the Internet will "fill" your leisure with what is important and interesting to a person.
There are a large number of ways to connect to the network. For example, you can use a router, an Internet gateway, and more. But the most convenient is a local network via a Wi-Fi router. Let us dwell in more detail on how you can create a connection by connecting a PC to each other and gaining access to the network without having to tediously and for a long time lay wires.
The main reasons when a Wi-Fi local area network is especially necessary in the office and at home:
a good repair is made in the room, so cracking the walls for laying the cable is unreasonable;
an apartment or office has a large footage, and you need to connect different devices to the network;
it is very convenient to be able to navigate throughout the territory with a laptop;
There is a large number of PCs in the room.
There are a lot of similar reasons why you need a local area network via Wi-Fi at home or in the office.
But keep in mind that, in addition to the obvious and publicized advantages of such a connection, there are also a number of disadvantages.
First, the local area network via W-Fi is susceptible to interference. If there are conditions with a difficult radio-frequency situation, then there will be practically no normal operation of the network. As a result, the connection speed will become floating, and the connection will constantly break.
Secondly, there is a possibility of strong absorption of radio waves by reinforced concrete or some other materials. They will help to weaken the network signal. As a result, the operating features will be the same as in the first case.
Therefore, if there are similar situations, then a local area network via Wi-Fi is not recommended. If there is no such problem, you can proceed with the installation of such a network.
To do this, you need an Internet gateway or an ADSL modem that has a built-in wireless Wi-Fi access point and a number of client devices equipped with a set of wireless adapters. It should be installed in the place where it will be located, and connected to the network. At this stage, you do not need to access the Internet and configure any parameters.
The PC or laptop turns on, and then it is recommended that you run the Wireless Setup Wizard. But often it’s enough to turn on the wireless adapter to immediately start the search for the local (s) wireless (s) network (s) that are within range of the computer’s adapter. Now you should look in the list for the presence of the network identifier - SSID in the value of "default '.
There are situations when the PC was able to find several similar networks that have the same name, and, most importantly, connect to any. This will mean that the neighbor, setting up his network, did not protect it. Therefore, now it can be used by all neighbors and the district. But this is so, by the way.
In order to check how a local area network is connected via Wi-Fi, it is recommended that you walk around your home or office with a laptop. This will allow you to monitor the level of the received signal, as well as information about the speed of work. For yourself, you can identify favorable and unfavorable places and their number. If the result is not satisfactory, it is recommended to transfer the access point to another time and repeat the same procedure again. You need to do this until the result is satisfied with the quality.
Next, you can begin to configure your home network. To do this, it is recommended to use the installation wizard, setting the same parameters that are available on the access point. Difficulties at this stage, as a rule, practically do not arise.
