What's a network?
A network is a group of linked computers, printers, scanners, etc. They are connected by either cables (wired "Ethernet") or radio waves (wireless)
Networking lets you share one broadband Internet connection in your home or small office. You can also share files, printers, scanners, and other devices. Multiple users can do all of the following simultaneously:
Check e-mail
Bank or shop online
Play Internet games
Download music
Instant message
and much more...
If you choose a wireless network, you can do all of the above without wires.
If you have more than one computer in your home, you quickly discover what a hassle it is to be shoved aside when someone else needs the printer which happens to be attached to your PC. You're also probably tired of running up and down the stairs to transfer files using floppy disks. And no one likes fighting over the only computer with Internet access. No wonder you're interested in home networking.
