Advantages of a wired network:
• Low cost – on average, wired networking devices are less
expensive than wireless networking devices
• Faster speeds – common speed is 100Mbps with recent
technology providing up to 1000Mbps
• Flexibility – set up and access printers, computers, and other
networking devices from anywhere in your home
• Better range – wired Ethernet technology provides distance
of up to 328 feet (without a repeater), while wireless range is
typically 150 to 200 feet
• Existing wired infrastructure – because of the maturity of wired
technology, some new homes are built with an Ethernet cabling
infrastructure
• Widespread industry acceptance – a wide range of
interoperable networking products
Combining wired and wireless technologies.
Since wired technology has been around longer, you might already
own some wired networking products. In this case, consider
combining the two technologies to create a super-efficient, cost
effective home network.
