Part 2: Wireless Internet Cyber cafe

For the past entry, i gave you some introductions and definition about wired and wireless networking technologies.

Now it is time to make some comparison between both of them. I will tell you from the beginning of the installation process to the conclusions. Please read it throughly.

Installation

For me, wired networking installation is a bit messy because you need a lot of wires and there are very long to manage. You also need ethernet adapter where the wire connect between your cyber cafe computers or your router. It also can be time-consuming and difficult to run cables on the floor or manage to hide it especially if you have computer sit in different rooms. Now, we are using CAT5 cables, it is new technology for wired cable networking, it make you networking process easier and minimizing unsightly cable runs.

For wireless networks, you just need a wireless router and wireless reciever adapter. Your internet broadband output mustbe connected to the wireless router and the reciever adapter must be installed to each of your computer. That's all you need.

Wireless LANs only work for certain range. If you buy wireless router only support 500 meter range, so that's it. If you want to gain more range you must upgrade your wireless router or buy a new router which support you desire range. It different to wired cables networking. You can make as wide range as you can as long as you have long cable. It's unlimited to space.

After hardware installation, the remaining steps in configuring either wired or wireless LANs do not differ much. Both rely on standard Internet Protocol and network operating system configuration options.
