Home Networks

Linksys BEFW11S4 Router

Just had a glitch on my internet connection which recovered in a few minutes, but it got me thinking about my home network. It’s all centered around a wireless router that also has an ADSL modem in it, you know, one of these boxes that do it all. My first network was a collection of boxes including a used cisco router, a USB ADSL modem and a broken laptop as a print server. Oh, and a collection of coax cables to hook everything up. It’s so much easier nowadays with improvements in kit, I’ve got everything sorted with one box that cost a fraction of the price.

Makes you wonder what home networks will look like in 20 years! I bet everything will be “internet aware” and the fabric will be built right in to the house. Should be nice to watch it all happen …
