Not too long ago, setting up a home network for your home based business was strictly a task best left for the professionals and the computer geeks. On the other hand also, the costs involved, the complexity and many other factors made it a very hard road for the majority of the regular guy to venture into. But the situation has changed.
Today, the costs involved in setting up a home network have substantially come down on every component. Wireless is not much more expensive, and sometimes less, than cabled gear. A bit of Cat 5 Ethernet cable costs not much more than plain stereo equipment wire. A hub costs a few dollars. Even routers, once $200 or more are now available for little more than the cost of an ordinary switch.
