Determine if you want all network devices to have internet access.    If you want all of the connected devices to have access to the internet, you'll need a router to handle the connections. If you don't need the devices to have a network connection, you can just use a network switch.

                                                                                Decide if you want to create a wireless network.      If you want to allow devices to connect wirelessly, you'll need a router that can broadcast a wireless network. Most routers you'll find at the store or online have wireless capabilities. Network switches do not allow wireless devices to connect, and can only be used for hardwired LANs or to extend the number of ports available to the router.

How to Create a Local Area Network (LAN) Count the number of computers you need to hardwire. When setting up a LAN, you'll need to know how many computers will be connecting to the network via Ethernet. This will determine the number of ports you'll need. If you have four or less computers that you need to hardwired, you'll just need a router. If you have more than four, you'll likely need to get a switch to extend the number of ports available on your router.

The Cisco layoffs come in the wake of Intel's announcement in April that it was laying off 12,000 workers. Dell Inc said in January it had shed 10,000 jobs and is expected to make further ...
