I now have two computers,a printer,and a scanner that I need to know how to network?
What additional hardware and software will I need to purchase? Approximately how much will my wireless network cost and Interenet? Thanks.

Best answer:

You will need a 4 port Switch but you can attach with without buying a switch you as explained further below……attach your 2 computers to the switch and your printer to the switch too if it has a network printing option ..else you will have to attach the printer to one of the computers and give sharing privileges so that the other computer might be able to access this printer. Similarly you can attach the scanner too.

However if you don’t have a switch …you will need a cross cable to attach both the computers directly to each other .and you will have to attach the printer and scanner to one computer and give sharing privileges such that the other computer can access the printer and scanner.

But if you have to connect to the Internet too ….it is advisable to get a Switch and share the internet connection on both the computers.

Im sorry i don’t know the costs of Wireless networking in your country.
