Wireless Networking

[Malcolm W]

I'm thinking about setting up a wireless network at home, but I'm not too clear on some aspects:

1) Do you need a broadband connection to have a wireless network?

2) CAn a wireless network include Windows XP and Windows 7 computers?

3) Do you need a Wireless Print Server in a wireless network or can you use a printer that's joined locally to a computer in the network all over the network?

Hello and welcome.

 

You can have a wireless network using dial up or broadband.

 

Yes you can network XP and Windows 7.

 

You can either have a normal printer connected to one of the computers and print from any of the computers on a network or you can have a wireless printer,both work.
