Research a Wireless LAN
Suppose you have a DSL connection to the Internet in your home and you want to connect two laptops and a desktop computer in a wireless network to the Internet. You need to purchase a multi-function wireless router. You also need a wireless adapter for the desktop computer. (The two laptops have built-in wireless networking.) Use the web to research the equipment needed to create the wireless LAN and answer the following:
- Look for two manufacturers showing two different multi-functional wireless routers. What are the brand, model, specifications or features, and price of each router?
- Look for two manufacturers showing two different wireless adapters a desktop computer can use to connect to the wireless network. Include one external device that uses a USB port and one internal device. What are the brand, model, specifications or features, and price of each device?
- Which router and wireless adapter would you select for your home network? What is the total cost of both devices?
