Ethernet network

Important

For best results, all Ethernet components should be either standard Ethernet (10 Mbps), Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps or 10/100), or Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps or 10/100/1000). A mixture of components rated at different speeds will result in your network running at the speed of the slowest rated component.

For a wired Ethernet network you need:

•Two or more computers with Ethernet jacks

•One router

•One broadband Internet connection (optional)

•Ethernet cables connecting all of the network equipment
