If you have more than one computer in your home, setting up a home computer network is immensely helpful for the sharing of files among your computers. This means you can begin to work on a project on one computer and finish up on another. You can save copies of all of your important data on a different computer via the network. If one of the computers has a printer attached, then the other computer can print to it over the network because with a home network in place you are able to share resources such as single printers and other equipment. Networks also allow the sharing of a single broadband Internet connection.
