Setting Up a Local Area Network A home local area network (LAN) may consist of either a wired or a wireless network that you can use to connect the computer to other devices on the network, including other computers. The network components may include a hub or a switch, which can connect multiple devices to the network, or a router, which can connect computers or a broadband Internet connection to the network. This network connection also enables you to share data and printers or other devices among your computers. The network connection to the Internet is usually through a dial-up or cable modem. A wired network uses Ethernet cables to connect the devices on the network. For example, the Ethernet cable plugs into the computer network interface adapter and the router. A wireless network uses radio waves to connect the devices on the network. For example, both the computer and the router have an antenna and adapter that use the same Wi-Fi industry standard: 802.11n, 802.11b, 802.11g, or 802.11a. 8 HP Firebird Desktop Essentials (Features may vary by model)

Setting Up a Local Area Network
A home local area network (LAN) may consist of either a wired or a wireless network that you
can use to connect the computer to other devices on the network, including other computers.
The network components may include a hub or a switch, which can connect multiple devices
to the network, or a router, which can connect computers or a broadband Internet connection
to the network. This network connection also enables you to share data and printers or other
devices among your computers. The network connection to the Internet is usually through a
dial-up or cable modem.
A
wired network
uses Ethernet cables to connect the devices on the network. For example, the
Ethernet cable plugs into the computer network interface adapter and the router.
A
wireless network
uses radio waves to connect the devices on the network. For example,
both the computer and the router have an antenna and adapter that use the same
Wi-Fi industry standard: 802.11n, 802.11b, 802.11g, or 802.11a.
