» Wireless
Networking:
Have you always wanted to roam
wirelessly throughout your
home or office with your laptop or PDA, yet
still
be connected
to your network and the Internet? If you can't
stand that long, ugly Ethernet cable, but desire
the freedom of mobility, a wireless network
might be good for you. We can help you choose
the right equipment, proper setup and
security, and troubleshoot current wireless
networking problems. We know the
security and privacy issues that are involved
with a wireless
network and how to protect your computers from

» Wired
Networking:
Wired networking has been around for many years and is the most inexpensive and
easiest way to network multiple computers. Since it’s been
around for so long, literally decades, there's been time to perfect and tweak
the technology
for maximum efficiency.

As
you can see, wireless networking is
ideal for laptop users on the go,
or for someone who doesn't want to have to use
long cables to network multiple computers.
Wireless is very capable of outdoor usage and
covering large or small areas with a blanket
of network access.
Wired networking is ideal for the
desktops in close proximity that aren't
going to be moved anytime soon. Wired
networking also
costs less and is more reliable due to wires
being constant. Wireless transmissions
can
be interrupted by trees, walls, microwaves, and
other objects, but all of these aspects can be
overcome.
