Install a wireless network

To install a wireless network it is essential to plan out what is required and where the router will be based. The typical hardware requirements are a wireless access point or router and wireless access devices such as laptop cards. Many routers have built in modems which is useful for sharing an Internet connection. Most products have comprehensive manuals and online tutorials on how to install a wireless network. Typically the router must be configured and installed first. Then each user is configured for network and Internet access. Finally common resources such as printers must be configured for use.
