If you do not already have a home
network and you want to learn how
to create one, try going to a popular
search engine like Google
(www.google.com) or Yahoo
(www.yahoo.com) and typing the phrase,
“setting up a home network,” in the
search field. You will obtain a number of
search results (links) that supply
guidance to help you set up your home
