Here is a guide to setting up a network using WIRELESS- in short word we are going to connect all your computers and laptop one another without using cabling.
So each pc and laptop will have a Network Card installed, if it doesn't already, This will basically act like an antenna to pick the Wireless signal that the Wireless router/Access Point will be transmitting out.
That means one of the most important aspects of the wireless network is the Router- it is responsible for sending out the signal that all the PC's will detect like walkie talkies.
The router is the central device in the network where all the PC's will connect to one another either via cabling or wireless.
The benefits of doing a network using wireless are going to be the fact that you will not have to run Ethernet (Cat-5) cabling from each of your computers across your house connecting to the router. This way you can minimize the clutter and excess cabling.
Wireless routers mainly work at two common transfer speeds - 54Mbps and 11Mbps, although this is something that is dependant upon many other factors - like your PC itself and the applications running on it and with remote the real integral factor is the earth in which you are building your system.
Wi-Fi networks are very susceptible to the electronic "noise" created around them by other devices and being that we're talking about wireless, it only makes sense that the most likely source of interference will be your cordless telephones. More on that later...
Try not to stress however your system won't back off your web association, andThe other main motivation to complete a remote system is on the grounds that this will manage the cost of you the goal here is to have a home network, speed is an altogether different monster. Also, the wireless signal is going to be faster than your internet so you won't even notice a difference.
The other
main motivation to complete a remote system is on the grounds that this will
manage the cost of you the most amount of flexibility of all your choices for
creating a computer network.
What
You'll need -
Network Cards- One for each computer on your network- that will act as an
antenna for the wireless signal
Wireless Enabled Router/Switch/Access Point- this will be the central connector
of all the computers whether they connect wireless or with CAT-5 cabling
* Window XP has programming incorporated with it design the
remote setting to associate with your router*-anyway you should make certain
you have the right drivers introduced

No compelling reason to stress over necessities for RAM or
CPU or Harddrive space
Take a gander at the square chart underneath to see a case
of what a completed remote system will resemble.
The remote flag is being transmitted by the Wireless Router
or Access Point
Here is a connection to another site that offers extra data
and clarification How remote functions
Presently let's investigate your PCs
Every PC needs a Network card introduced, most new PCs as of
now have a system card introduced, which you could use to complete an Ethernet
wired system utilizing Cat-5 links
You can make certain by either essentially taking a gander
at the back of your pc for a port that resembles a larger than average
telephone jack. Test this by attempting to embed your CAT5 organize link into
it - on the off chance that it's excessively little, at that point that port is
for a phone link and is your dial-up modem.
The other method to tell on the off chance that you have a
working NIC is to check in your device Manager - For Directions on this snap
here
The thought is the equivalent with remote every pc gets it's
very own system card and the procedure is the equivalent generally -
*It's ideal to pursue the headings gave the card*
Okay so now we're prepared to connect a few things
Interface your remote switch to your Broadband Internet
Connection - either a DSL modem or a Cable modem-
In the event that you are making a system without High-Speed
Internet, at that point basically plug your switch in and let it begin
transmitting
With Wireless Networking there is more programming engaged
with the set-up than with wired associations
Every PC needs what's called a Client Manager introduced to
advise the two gadgets how to converse with one another appropriately
Some portion of this Client Manager set-up includes the
security of your system by counteracting non-approved PCs to associate with
your system which can be WEP or WPA

This product is naturally part of Windows XP, however different
variants of Windows will have it introduced on the CD that accompanies your
equipment More guidelines for Configuring Wireless in Windows
Presently to test your system we have to check that every
one of your PCs can " Pull an IP Address" from the switch and that
they all begin with similar numbers. The switch should give every pc its own
one of a kind location and they will all begin with similar numbers.
All IP tends to will be as 4 octets - position -
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
A few instances of an IP address are: 192.168.x.x or
172.16.x.x or 10.x.x.x The X's are numbers that came change starting with one
system then onto the next so not to stress as long as the beginnings are the
equivalent.
There will likewise be a Subnet Mask-don't stress over this
number too much either your switch will do this stuff for you.
Snap here for guidelines on checking an IP address
To confirm your PCs and switch are arranged to naturally get
their addresses to click Configuring DHCP
