Going Wireless-less: Enabling the Cabling in your Home Network

Our past presentations on home networking have focused almost exclusively on wireless technologies. But for our May General Meeting, we’ll approach this topic from a different perspective, as we examine the advantages and disadvantages of setting up a home network with cables – a wireless-less network.

During our presentation, we will:

* Explain why a wired network is a better option for some home users
* Show you what type of cables you’ll need
* Describe the hardware devices found in most networks – modems, routers, hubs, and network interface cards
* Demonstrate how to make all your cable connections (and how to tell the difference between your modem ports and network ports)
* Explain how to configure the networking software on your router and computers
* Describe how to troubleshoot your networking using common network diagnostic tools

We’ll also conduct a hands-on demonstration of how to run cables between rooms in your house, which will include everything from splicing cable, knocking holes in your wall in an elegant fashion, and hooking everything up correctly so it all works right when you’re done.

The General Meeting will take place from 9:30 to noon on Saturday, May 10, at Myers University.

Myers University is just east of downtown Cleveland at 3921 Chester Avenue. From the north or south, you can use Interstate 90, exit at the Chester and head east.

From the west, go east on Euclid and go north on East 40th Street. From the east, go west on Chester.

A limited amount of parking, including handicapped is available behind Myers' main building, off Perkins and East 40th. More parking is available across Chester and to the west at Myers' other building, Stager Hall (formerly University Club). There is an entrance to the lot from Chester. All parking is free.

You can enter the building from the front or the rear. The Auditorium (162B) meeting room is near the front of the building.
