Project Justification: The home network has potential. It adds growth and knowledge.
The home network is important to use and access internet connection easily in home
wireless network. This network also provide many other benefits as well like as, sharing a
file between your computers in your home network, sharing a media file, sharing a
folders between your computers in your home wireless network.

This wireless network does not cost much and it has many benefits to provide to connect
wireless and non wireless devices across the network.

The current network is connected via cables so its wired network. A cable goes from
study room to lounge and from bed room to main hall. Its not feasible to connect many
devices together in home via cable network because its require cabling through out the
home and many times just because of loose cabling you have to connection loss.

To overcome this hurdles in home network and to connect additional devices easily to
home network wireless networking is very beneficial, so I am approaching to upgrade
this wired network to wireless network. So the vast benefit of wireless networking like as
I can share my files and folders more easily with my laptop and desktop computers. I can
access my pictures from desktop computer to mobile device via wireless home
networking.

To share a printer in your home network wireless networking is more feasible option to
choose because, in wireless network we dont need to run a long cable from router to
printer. We can adjust the printer anywhere in home and still it will be connected to your
computer via wireless connection.

Network up gradation provide the benefit of using more wireless clients easily.

Project Goals: Next-generation home networking environments will contain a variety of


Internet-ready devices or embedded systems, which will result in increased complexity
for the end user. New methods are therefore required to build autonomic networking
infrastructures that enable auto-configuration and self-management of the networked
elements.

In future Internet-based home environments a variety of devices such as PCs, smart


phones, networked appliances and embedded systems will be organized into
infrastructures and will act together to form a new type of service provisioning platform.

Todays typical home environments often contain a few of these Internet-ready devices;
in the future there will be even more, including embedded systems like sensors and
actuators that are also accessible via Internet technology (e.g. TCP/IP, HTTP, Web
services etc). While on the one hand this gives users the freedom to access a rich variety
of devices in the vicinity of their homes, on the other it increases the depth of knowledge
required to understand what is happening in such a complex networking environment.
Novel methods for autonomous networking as well as self-configuration, self-

management, self-organization, self-protection and self-healing (self-x) of the networking
elements can take responsibility for observing and controlling the home network without
directly involving end users.

Technology will revolutionize the tools that are used in the home of the near future.
Embedded computing, sensing and actuation technologiescoupled with new
infrastructure in the built environment itselfwill combine to enable new opportunities
to support the work of the home.

The wireless home networking goal is to successfully connect wireless devices such as
laptops, desktop computers, VoIP phone, wireless printer, and network storage drive and
wifi cell phone. The other goal is to configure the wireless devices so they can share
network folders and print wirelessly in home network and to successfully achieve that we
need to install wireless router and cable modem in home wireless network.

Cost:

The cost to build wireless network is illustrate bellow,

Linksys E3000 wireless router - $180


Cable modem - $50
Wireless printer (HP C310a) - $150
VoIP Phone - $45
Network storage drive (Netgear) - $180

The cost for internet connection which is provided by ISP is not included in the proposed
network cost.

The devices which are used in home wireless network are under warranty by the
manufacturer for 3years and the technical support is also provided.

Advantages & Disadvantages of wireless network:

Wireless network have advantages and disadvantages when compared with wired LANs.
A WLAN will make it simple to add or move workstations and to install access points to
provide connectivity in areas where it is difficult to lay cable. Temporary or semi
permanent buildings that are in range of an access point can be wirelessly connected to a
LAN to give these buildings connectivity. Where computer labs are used in schools, the
computers (laptops) could be put on a mobile cart and wheeled from classroom to
classroom, provided they are in range of access points. Wired network points would be
needed for each of the access points. A WLAN has some specific advantages:

It is easier to add or move workstations.


It is easier to provide connectivity in areas where it is difficult to lay cable.
Installation is fast and easy, and it can eliminate the need to pull cable through
walls and ceilings.

Access to the network can be from anywhere within range of an access point.
Portable or semi permanent buildings can be connected using a WLAN.
Although the initial investment required for WLAN hardware can be similar to
the cost of wired LAN hardware, installation expenses can be significantly lower.
When a facility is located on more than one site (such as on two sides of a road), a
directional antenna can be used to avoid digging trenches under roads to connect
the sites.
In historic buildings where traditional cabling would compromise the faade, a
WLAN can avoid the need to drill holes in walls.
Long-term cost benefits can be found in dynamic environments requiring frequent
moves and changes.

Wireless network also have some disadvantages:

As the number of computers using the network increases, the data transfer rate to
each computer will decrease accordingly.
As standards change, it may be necessary to replace wireless cards and/or access
points.
Lower wireless bandwidth means some applications such as video streaming will
be more effective on a wired LAN.
Security is more difficult to guarantee and requires configuration.
Devices will only operate at a limited distance from an access point, with the
distance determined by the standard used and buildings and other obstacles
between the access point and the user.

Proposed Solution:
To overcome the technical
issues take necessary steps
to build wireless home
network. To solve the
wireless range problem with
the 802.11b/g, in this
network 802.11n wireless
standard is chosen. So it will
provide wide range of
wireless network and it will
be enough for small to
medium size home.

The wireless security is configured so the home wireless network can be protected. To
protect wireless security WPA2 personal security encryption is configured and MAC
address allocation is also configured so the wireless router will not provide access to any
other device and the home wireless clients devices will be secured.

The firewall is also enabled on Linksys wireless router so it will provide security from
outside. From outside no one can hack your home network and harm the computer
systems.

The ultimate in wireless security measures, shutting down your network will most
certainly prevent outside hackers from breaking in! While impractical to turn off and on
the devices frequently, at least consider doing so during travel or extended periods
offline. Computer disk drives have been known to suffer from power cycle wear-and-tear,
but this is a secondary concern for broadband modems and routers.

Summary:
To build wireless home network, using this simple three-step approach:
1. Identify the WLAN design that's best for your situation
2. Choose good wireless gear
3. Install gear and test the configured WLAN

Wireless offers tangible benefits over traditional wired networking. Each computer you
wish to connect to a WLAN must possess a wireless network adapter. Wireless adapters
are sometimes also called NICs, short for Network Interface Cards. Wireless adapters for
desktop computers are often small PCI cards or sometimes card-like USB adapters.

Try to install your wireless router in a central location within the home. The way Wi-Fi
networking works, computers closer to the router (generally in the same room or in "line
of sight") realize better network speed than computers further away.

In densely populated areas, it's not uncommon for wireless signals from one person's
home network to penetrate a neighboring home and interfere with their WLAN. This
happens when both households set conflicting communication channels. Fortunately,
when configuring an 802.11n router, you can change the channel number employed.

For example, you may choose any WLAN channel number between 1 and 11. If you
encounter interference from neighbors, you should coordinate channel settings with them.
Simply using different channel numbers won't always solve the problem. However, if
both parties use a different one of the channel numbers 1, 6 or 11 that will guarantee
elimination of cross-WLAN interference.

Wireless LANs suffer a few more reliability problems than wired LANs, though perhaps
not enough to be a significant concern. 802.11n wireless signals are subject to
interference from other home appliances including microwave ovens, cordless
telephones, and garage door openers. With careful installation, the likelihood of
interference can be minimized.

Wireless networking products, particularly those that implement 802.11n are


comparatively new. As with any new technology, expect it will take time for these
products to mature.

Wireless LANs using 802.11n support a maximum theoretical bandwidth of 300 Mbps.
Furthermore, Wi-Fi performance is distance sensitive, meaning that maximum
performance will degrade on computers farther away from the access point or other
communication endpoint. As more wireless devices utilize the WLAN more heavily,
performance degrades even further.

Overall, the performance of 802.11n is sufficient for home Internet connection sharing
and file sharing, but generally not sufficient for home LAN gaming.
