Selecting a network connection
The biggest decision you need to make when creating your network is what
type of connection you will use. Gateway supports both wired and wireless
Ethernet networks. Use the following criteria as a guide when selecting a
network connection.
Wired Ethernet network
Create a wired Ethernet network if:
■
You are building a new home or your existing home already has Ethernet
cable installed in each room that has a device you want to connect
■
You are creating a network in an office or business where network speed
is more important than moving about with your computer
■
Your computer has an Ethernet jack for connecting to the network
Wireless Ethernet network
Create a wireless Ethernet (IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, or IEEE 802.11g)
network if:
■
You are looking for an alternative to installing cable for connectivity
■
The ability to move about with your computer is as important as network
speed
■
Your computer has wireless Ethernet for networking
