I live in a large old house with very thick walls, so want to set up a basic wired network - I THINK...??!
I have 2 pc's, a NAS and a laptop. I want to have both pc's hard wired, be able to print from the one downstairs using the printer that is connected to the upstairs pc, store pictures and music on both, plus be able to access the internet. I also want to be able to do the same wirelessly via the laptop if possible. So, how do I do this..? What do I need to buy ?
I have never had a network before, and am no great computer wizard, so please speak loud and clear, and in simple terms...
I have no idea if it makes any difference but I am in Spain, so am not using any of the usual providers, and as for broadband - forget it - we have just gone up to a max of 256, despite having paid for 512 for the last year..!
Thanks for any help,
Steve
