Home networking mistakes, and how to solve them.

The mistake: "Failing to determine a network’s needs before buying a router".

Most people buying networking gear (especially wireless equipment) are just looking to provide Internet access for a new notebook, phone or tablet. Problems arise when they don’t consider the amount of coverage they may need, how many other devices might connect to the network and the types of walls/floors they have in their home. 

The fix: Do some pre-planning, and know the layout (square footage) of the home you want to cover. In addition, read the user manual (not just the Quick Start Guide). There are tons of features in modern residential routers – even if you don’t use all of them, it’s beneficial to be familiar with them.




I will upload more pretty soon! and remember if you know someone who this information might help, share it!
