If you have multiple computers in your home, consider connecting them so that they can share files, folders and an Internet connection. These are just a few of the advantages of a home network.
Transferring Files
Instead of using portable devices to move a file from one computer to another, a network allows you to just put a file in a folder on another computer. This is much more convenient and faster.
Internet Benefits
With a home network, you can attach multiple computers to the same Internet connection, so you can download files on one system, and surf the Web or check your email on another.
Sharing Printers
A home network can allow all computers to access a single printer or scanner. This way, you can have a computer in one of room and the printer in another room, instead of having to have the system in the same room.
File Servers
Instead of moving files directly from one computer to another, you can create a local file server that stores all your data. This way, you only need the server and the destination computer, instead of needing the computer that originally stored the file.
Multimedia Networking
You can purchase network devices that will connect your computer to your TV or stereo, so you can listen to music stored on a computer or watch movies stored on your computer.
