Do you have more than one computer at your home? Home computer networking will help you to connect all your Desktops, laptop and other networking devices. You can get network setup and support from an online computer repaircompany. To set up Home Computer Network, you need to consider a number of things. In this article you will get some useful tips so that you can enjoy home computer networking at its best.

 

When you plan to set home network, first you need to decide what the network will be, wired or wireless. These days, wireless network is very popular as it provides more convenience as compared to wired network. By choosing wireless network you can avoid clutter of wire and can easily move from one room to another.

 

Let’s take a closer look at both wireless and wired home network. Known as Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) or Wireless Fidelity (WiFi), wireless network is now highly popular. A wireless access point is placed inside the house in order to connect all the devices. On the other hand, for wireless network, small bundles of cables are utilized. There are four cables in a standard bundle of wire. These are Cat5e Ethernet cable for a computer, Cat5e Ethernet cable for a phone, a coaxial cable for a television, and a coaxial cable which will provide input from a DVD player.

 

To secure your home computer network, you should remember some important things. Note that there are hackers and other cyber criminals who always look for ways to infiltrate the network to perform unlawful activities. To protect them you should take some important measures. It is a must to change the default username and password. Everyone knows default username and password and so, it is quite easier for the hackers to hack.

 

You must turn on the firewall on all the computers and on the router as well. You also need to assign static IP addresses to every computer on the network. It is also important to disable the SSID broadcast feature on the network router. It is recommended to change the default SSID immediately in case if you are using a wireless network setup. On your network, you should also enable MAC address filter. Assign MAC address to all your PCs to turn the filtering on. You may know that a MAC address is very difficult to fake and it boosts the network security greatly.

 

You must use a good antivirus software program so that you can keep viruses and other malware at bay and enjoy hassle-free and smooth computing. All renowned antivirus software companies offer trial version of their software. You can install this application and if you find it satisfactory, then install the paid version.
