Wired vs Wireless Networking Building the local area network that's right for you

Computer networks for the home and small business use either wired or wireless technology. Wired Ethernet was once the customary choice for homes and businesses, but Wi-Fi and other wireless options are now prevalent in homes, while many businesses still rely on wired networks. Both methods can claim advantages over each other; both represent viable options for home and other local area networks (LANs).

Overall Findings

Wired
  • Close proximity required.

  • Increased security.

  • Greater control.


    • Wireless
  • More freedom (within range).

  • Flexibility.


    • Security risks.

    Final Verdict:
    If you are very cost-conscious, need the maximum performance of your home system, and don't care much about mobility, then a wired Ethernet LAN is probably right for you.



    If on the other hand, the cost is less of a concern, you like being an early adopter of leading-edge technologies, and you are really concerned about the task of wiring your home or small business with Ethernet cable, then you should certainly consider a wireless LAN.
