What's the best way connect to your home network

With home networks become user enjoy the flow of information and data quickly between laptops or smart phones or computers tablet or tablets retina and other peripherals other, there is no longer a need for the installation of the flash memory USB nagging, or having to copy the data on CD DVD. In addition to the LAN cable currently available conventional two alternative technologies, which is trusted by users and has reliability and reliability, two WLAN or wireless network Powerline. 

LANs 

The Christophe Schmidt of Shape magazine German: "still LAN networks that rely on cable is the fastest networking solutions for data transfer, as well as it is considered the most secure networks and least expensive." As a reliable online gaming enthusiasts on the local network equipped with cables; due to the low time delay during the data transfer. Is promoted Gigabit-LAN ​​network as having a data transfer rate of one gigabit (1000 Mbps). But the German expert says: "Practically the user does not reach to more than 800 Mbit / s." The standard Fast Ethernet, which is obsolete, who shall transmit data at a rate not to exceed ten speed network Gigabit-LAN. The advantage of LAN cables that rely on it does not allow any opportunity for hackers to penetrate the network or data theft, where the network remains secure against penetration as long as it is not possible for a direct access to the router or cable. However, these cables laid on the ground is often a stumbling block in front of users; because some homes are not equipped بتجاويف in the walls, which allow the user to hide these cables away from the range of motion in the room. 

Wireless Network 

In such cases show feature WLAN wireless alternative acceptable; since it allows for smart phones and tablet computers to access the contents of your home network. The data is transferred via WLAN wireless network more slowly than local cable-based, and often occurs disparity in the rate of data transfer. Christoph Schmidt warns, saying: "the greater the distance between the user and the router, data transfer speed decreases and less degree of dependability and reliability." Therefore German expert advised of the need not to increase the distance between your WLAN router and the terminal a few meters. Even if you are promoting Router the standard n talk provider that the data transfer rate of 450 Mbit / s, the experts assert that the devices can not exceed the rate of 200 Mbit / s in the best conditions of use. However being promoted to the new standard ac that will transfer data in the near future at speeds approaching the data transfer rate through the cables. And replete electronics markets Router devices of this type, but the peripherals that support this standard conversation did not appear in the market so far. The second-largest security problems faced by wireless WLAN networks as well as slowing the speed of data transfer; because the wireless signal can be received outside a user's home, so it should encrypt the way to access the wireless network. And stresses the Federal Office for Information Technology Security German city of Bonn on the need to be password wireless WLAN complex and include as many signs as possible, preferably to be composed of 20 marks or more. To register a mobile device in the wireless network WLAN required usually enter the access code only once. After that you laptops or smart phones automatically register themselves, when there is the scope of the router on. It is preferable that the operator selects the name of the network so that it does not refer to his personality or address or router or Service Provider. Experts explain that the name of the network may reveal the pirates for a lot of unnecessary information. 

Powerline Technology

But there are some situations that are not suitable LAN cables or wireless network WLAN, for example, when the DSL modem is in the lobby of the house and up the wireless signal to the upper floors. In such cases, the technique can be used Powerline, which send data via the electricity network. Christoph Schmidt explained: "basically can integrate all electrical connections with the network of Powerline, which runs through the distributor." The German magazine's editor that a neighbor may be able to surf the web via Powerline, so the user must secure such networks that depend on electricity cables, through the identification of a password. To create a Powerline network user needs to kit consisting of at least two-piece adapter, where the adapter is installed in the wall next to the router, and the other adapter are installed in the desired position to receive the signal. In theory reach a speed of modern equipment, which supports standard Homeplug AV2, to 500 Mbit / s, while the rate of data transfer in practice - according to the German magazine - ranging between 50 and 90 Mbit / s, but the data transfer speed slow more with devices with Homeplug AV standard old (up to 200 Mbit / s) and standard Homeplug Turbo (up to 85 Mbit / s). And so as not to reduce the signal strength of unnecessarily, advises the German magazine of the need to connect the adapter to the wall directly and not subscriber electric multislot. It includes a lot of Powerline adapters socket implementation, so as not to obstruct the delivery of electrical current without justification. Christoph Schmidt added that problems may appear in this technique with regard to reliability, where communication stops for a short period, when they are turned on or off Compressor refrigerator, for example.
