It is important because if you have wifi then you cant do much on the internet and plus you cant like download games on like i pod cell phones so wifi is really important.
Ethernet is a physical and data link layer technology for local area networks (LANs). Ethernet was invented by engineer Robert Metcalfe. When first widely deployed in the 1980s, Ethernet supported a maximum theoretical data rate of 10 megabits per second.
You would want to move to a Gigabit network. This will require a switch capable of Gigabit speeds, network cabling capable of Gigabit speeds (Cat 5e for example), and a network interface on a computer that is also Gigabit rated. Most modern switches are Gigabit rated (even inexpensive soho switches).
Hybrid computers use alot less energy than super computers but do not run as well. usally hybrid computers are used as servers for they are capable of many things but are always running therefor more efficent
Early Computers were large in size while today computers are compacted .Early Computers were Vaccum tube and transistor based while today computers are ICs based.Early Computers were slow and today computers are fast.Early Computers were used punch card for storage while today computers used Secondry storage ( Hard Disk) for storage.Early Computers were not user friendly todays computers are user friendly
They might, it depends on the creators of those computers and what they will make them do next. Computers are already doing a lot of things now that if the world didn't have any power people would be in trouble.
Powerdsine 12 Port Power Over Ethernet Hub is reasonable priced and is capable of connecting to 12 different computers, the next alternative is the HP 12 Port FiberChannel Hub which can also connect 12 machines, just not over ethernet.
A wired router is able to spilt the Internet signal and send it down Internet cables or Ethernet cables. It is capable of sending the signal to many different computers.
It depends on if you have a net-workable printer or not. If you have a wireless or ethernet equipt printer then you could use an wireless router that usually has 4 ethernet ports. I have my computers (six of them) hooked to an ethernet switch (and a couple connected wireless) which is hooked to a wireless router. My printer is wireless (or ethernet capable) and can be used by all my computers without doing a thing. As long as the computers AND the printer stay on the same network then they can all print. Most of my computers are Macs and I can use the "Location" feature to switch back and forth from my "internet DSL" location back to my "offline local" network. If you only have a USB printer then you could use the printer sharing feature on your computer and then it would work but you would always have to have that one computer on ALL the time. There are also USB servers that use an ethernet cable to connect to the network, you just plug the USB cable from the printer into the server and then it is plugged into the computer, ethernet switch, router, etc.
An Ethernet device that is capable of 10/100 operation is capable of transferring and receiving data at either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps. Older devices were only capable of transferring at 10 Mbps. To be backwards-compatible, devices have to be capable of transmitting data at 10 Mbps.
No
If you want greater speed, why not use gigabit ethernet? Just remember that all the devices and cabling must be capable of that speed or you won't actually see that speed.
buy ethernet cable
Yes, it will. This cable is capable of carrying Ethernet information as well, but very few products use this standard at this time.
Ethernet is a physical and data link layer technology for local area networks (LANs). Ethernet was invented by engineer Robert Metcalfe. When first widely deployed in the 1980s, Ethernet supported a maximum theoretical data rate of 10 megabits per second.
That is a NIC that is capable of running speeds of 100 Mbps up to 1 Gbps.
Ethernet cable is used in any length to establish physical network connectivity between Ethernet compatible devices such as computers, routers, printers and entertainment devices. Cable networks are utilized when there is a need for security (laboratories), no practical use for external access(LAN parties), or to connect to internet capable nodes such as wireless routers and modems. A 100 ft cable might be used to connect a wireless router in your garage to the internet connected network in your home, expanding your personal wireless hot spot.
If you are talking about a LAN, then just making sure that all devices and cables are capable of gigabit speeds.
