Wireless Networking

A relatively new networking topology is 802.11g, also known as Wireless or "WiFi." This topology allows connecting computers together without using wires. Wireless networks are currently the fastest growing networking topology in the U.S.; users can establish a wireless network without running cables between their computers. Wireless also allows a user with a laptop the freedom to roam about his house or lawn and still maintain access to the Internet, as well as to the rest of his network. This solution is more elegant than Ethernet when the computers are far apart from each other or from the cable modem.  At JITCR, our philosophy is to configure Wireless properly the FIRST time, EVERY time... no slowdowns, no chatter from the neighbors' routers, no noise... just the right topology for the situation with the proper hardware at a reasonable price... With Wireless, there is no substitute for experience and understanding.  Is wireless right for your home or office?  Let us do an analysis today.

Ethernet Networking
Ethernet, along with its speedier counterpart "Fast Ethernet," is the most popular networking standard in use today. If the computers at your workplace are running on a network, they are most likely connected with Ethernet technology.

Ethernet networks are generally faster than the alternatives, although newer technologies are closing the speed gap. Because Ethernet is so popular, simple, and reliable, the essential components of Ethernet networking are readily available and surprisingly inexpensive.

To configure and install an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network in your home, you will need one Ethernet (or Fast Ethernet) network card or adapter per computer. Ethernet network cards are installed inside your computer, while network adapters are connected externally. You will also need at least one hub or switch to act as the center of your network, as seen in the diagram below. Unlike a Telephone network, you can't string the computers of an Ethernet network directly into one another. They must connect at a central point.

Special cabling (known as Category 5 UTP) is required to build an Ethernet network. One end of an RJ-45 cable plugs directly into a computer's Ethernet network card or adapter; the other end plugs into a switch, hub, or similar device, connecting that computer to the other networked computers.

Ethernet or Fast Ethernet networking is the best home networking solution if speed is your primary networking concern. Obviously, there are hybrid topologies where wireless and fixed-Ethernet are combined to provide an optimal solution for your home or business. Let JITCR configure an optimal solution for your particular needs, home or business.
