These days, a computer with no Internet connection is perceived as almost useless. Therefore, each owner, having acquired a new electronic assistant for himself, first of all thinks about the best way to connect it to the Internet. There is something to think about here, since there are a lot of options for connecting to a virtual network today, and all of them have their own advantages and disadvantages.
Instructions
Step 1
Perhaps the most common way to connect your home computer to the Internet is to use your home LAN. In large cities these days, most apartment buildings have their own networks. Some even have not one network, but several, supported by different providers. To connect to them, you just need to conclude a service contract with an Internet operator and lead a cable to a computer into the apartment. Network cards are now built into all models of computers, so you no longer have to worry about purchasing them.
Step 2
ADSL remains an equally widespread technology for high-speed access. The only limitation here is the need for a telephone line to the apartment. If such a technical possibility exists, it remains only to purchase a special ADSL modem and conclude an agreement with the provider. The advantage of this method is the simplicity of connection (the modem is simply connected to the computer and to the telephone socket) and the fact that there are no intermediate intermediaries between the user and the provider, such as the owners and administrators of the local network. This significantly increases the security of the transmitted information.
Step 3
A similar but more modern method of connecting to the Internet is broadband over cable TV networks. The digital broadband network is highly reliable and provides high data transfer rates. The only disadvantage of this option is the need to have a connection in the apartment to at least one cable TV channel, without which it is technically impossible to access the Internet.
Step 4
However, in some cases, it is not possible to connect your home computer to the Internet using wired technology. For example, in areas of new buildings or in country houses. The optimal solution in this case may be the use of satellite digital television and the Internet or a Wi-Fi connection to a wireless network.
