Wireless networking is
extremely popular for building a home network, but wireless isn't the only
way to go, both wireless and wired home networks have their own distinct
advantages.
Wired
Faster - Wired networking connections can reach much faster
speeds than
wireless. However, the typical user does not need nor use the amount of
bandwidth a wired connection can produce.
Reliable - Physical, fixed networking connections are not
prone to interference and fluctuations in available bandwidth, which can
affect some wireless networking connections.
Secure - If you decide to build a wired home network, you
don't have to worry about your networking signal traveling through the air
and being interrupted by eavesdroppers (snoopers), which can happen if you
don't protect your wireless network.
Wireless
Portable & Flexible - Wireless networking devices enable
you to use your  computer
or laptop anywhere in the house and be on the network or get access to the
Internet.
Cost Effective - Buying and installing structured Ethernet
networking cables into your home can be a costly exercise. Setting up a
basic wireless home network can cost significantly less.
Neat & Safe - If you choose to set-up a wireless home
network you do not need to run cables across your house. Also choosing to
set-up a wireless home network means that you do not need to run cables
underneath carpets or drill holes through walls or ceilings to pass cables
through.
Which type of network
is right for you? It depends on what your goal is in wanting a network.
