Readers have responded positively to the new D-Link DIR-632 with its 8 ports for Ethernet connections. Looks like wired networks aren't dead yet. Good thing we have the diagrams and other information to help you with both wired and wireless setups.

Home Network Diagrams
Thousands of different home network layouts exist. Fortunately, most are small variations on a basic set of common designs. This gallery contains network diagrams for each of the common designs of wireless, wired and hybrid home networks. Each network diagram includes a description of the pros and cons of that particular layout as well as tips for building it.

Introduction to Computer Network Topologies
A network topology is the shape or structure it uses for communications distinct from the actual physical location of devices.

Top Free VPN Software
Virtual Private Network (VPN) software technology enables private communications over wireless / computer networks via a method called tunneling. VPN software applications include clients, servers and utility programs. The popular VPN software applications listed below are readily available for free download on the Internet.

Introduction to Proxy Servers
Proxy servers (also known as proxies) act as a broker between the two ends of a client/server network connection. Home networks, corporate intranets, and Internet Service Providers can use proxy servers to enhance performance and safety.
