Gift idea - WIFI wireless home networking kit

If you think that wireless home networking using WIFI is too high-tech, it is time to change your mind. But you are bound to find many friends and family members who still do not have a wireless home network. So a wireless home networking kit makes perfect gift today. And it is very affordable and you can buy it under $100 at many online shopping websites.

For those who are new to wireless home networking, a kit will contain a router that connects to the DSL or cable modem. This router will then divide the incoming signal into several (typically four wired connections) and also send a very powerful wireless signal. Most laptop computers already come with a built-in networking card and these will detect a wireless signal automatically. Otherwise the recipient can buy a card online for about $30 (or even less on eBay).

What to watch out for when buying a WI-FI wireless home networking kit?

1. Buy the kit rather than individual components unless you are a master of technology. Buying a kit means that all parts will talk to each other without any problem and the recipient will have no trouble installing it.
2. As we always say, buy the latest technology, which can be somewhat more expensive but it also means that it will be of use to the recipient for a while.
3. Do some research before buying so that you can pick the kit that will work for the recipient's home. For instance, you can get away with an inexpensive kit if the recipient lives in a one-bedroom home but will need to buy something more powerful if s/he lives in a two/three floor home.
