When setting up a small office, it's sometimes easier to use a wireless adapter card in your desktop computer than trying to run network cables to set up your network. While it's not a perfect solution, in most installations, it can allow for a much easier and faster setup.

Using a wireless network, you can position your computers where you want without worrying about running cables or drilling holes in the walls, floors, or ceilings.

While laptops normally come with wireless capabilities built in, you'll need to usually install a wireless network adapter card in most PC's. The only caveat to using wireless in a home office is if there's something that blocks or interferes with the wireless signal. Then you'd have to resort to a wired connection.
