I am in the early planning stages of upgrading the Derb computers. Final
result will be a home network (in my 3-storey house — computers on all 3
floors).
Naturally I’ve been thinking of a wireless home network. However, because
of some remodeling I’m doing, it would be no big thing to “fish” cables
through all the necessary wall cavities. Seems to me a cable network would
be more robust and secure than a wireless one.
But is that right? Is the difference worth bothering with? Shall I end up
paying more for my machines with cable connectors, since manufacturers
assume everyone wants wireless nowadays? If my desktops are all
cable-connected, can I still network in a wireless laptop?
Any brief, knowledgeable comments much appreciated. To olimu@optonline.net,
please, with subject line WIRELESS OR CABLE.
Thank you in advance.
