How do you upgrade a ten computer network?

Answer 1

First, you have to decide on the network topology you want to use. This will decide on the type of wiring necessary and any network connectivity devices.

Second, you have to decide whether this is a peer to peer network, or a client server network, which will also impact what software is installed on the network and how it is supported.

For 10 systems or less, a peer to peer network is a good choice; all you need is the wiring, and a simple device such as a hub or switch (a switch would be better). Then, wire all the systems to go to the switch, and configure the network interfaces on each device.

Answer 2

The easiest way to upgrade a network with ten computers linked on it is to connect them wirelessly, if you are using them for home networking. All modern computers a have the hardware already equipped when you purchase them. You would then follow instructions for networking with the operating system you are using.
