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.

NOTE: You can connect more than one display device (CRT monitor, flat panel monitor,

TV, and so on) to the computer at a time (select models only). You can quickly change

which device displays the computer desktop by pressing Alt+F5. Each time you press

Alt+F5, the computer desktop appears on the next device. If pressing Alt+F5 does not

work, restart the computer and try again.
