Let’s share the benefits of having a home network first.

1. You can communicate data between all devices.
2. Access files from any device connected.
3. Print from multiple computers on a single printer.
4. Much easier to manage security settings.

Do you want your home network to be wireless, or wired? Don’t worry, we’ve got the pros and cons for both. Let’s start with a wired network.

Wired network pros

Superior speed + able to handle higher levels of speed.
Simpler security.

Wired network cons

Limited by wire length.
Can’t connect smaller, handheld devices.
Troubleshooting might get tricky with all additional equipment.

Now for wireless pros and cons.

Wireless network pros

Easy and non-disruptive to set up. With a web-based interface, it offers greater control over your network.
Increased network efficiency.
Cheaper!

Wireless network cons

Less secure than wired.
Prone to interference, both from the physical location of your network to other devices absorbing the Wi-Fi signals.

We highly recommend you consider cybersecurity options next. One of the best ways to secure your network is setting up a VPN on your router. This will be a great catch-all for encrypting all data from all devices that connect to the router. Luckily, we already have a video that instructs you how to do that, right here!
