Create one network local

Why set up a LAN?

When you have multiple computers, it may be convenient to connect them together to create a local area network (LAN in English, short for Local Area Network). The establishment of such a network is very expensive, contrary to what one might think.

Here are some benefits that will bring you the establishment of a local network:

    * File transfer;
    * Sharing of resources (sharing the internet connection, printer sharing, shared disks, etc.).
    * Mobility (in the case of a wireless network);
    * Discussion (mainly when the computers are remote);
    * Network play.

Both types of LANs

There are two main types of local network architecture:

    * Wired networks based on Ethernet technology, representing almost all local networks. Since Ethernet networks typically use RJ45 cables, often referred to as RJ45 networks;
    * Wireless networks, typically using WiFi technology.
