You've probably used an Ethernet cable the entire time you've owned a computer but have never really known how it works or exactly what it does. As is the case with most Internet connections, the idea behind the Ethernet was to connect people faster. Yet the Ethernet contains a unique design of twisted pair wires allowing the user to transmit without interruption. It remains the most widely installed local area network technology.
The Ethernet came from the idea of “aether,” a theory from the early 80s used to explain the propagation of light. The theory stated light is something that permeates time and space and therefore can access anything. Likewise, the Ethernet allows people to connect over a framework of local area networks. Its development replaced its major competitors: the coaxial cable Ethernet, token ring, fiber distributed data interface, and attached resource computer network.
Developed by Alohanet and further expanded by Xerox, DEC and Intel, Ethernet provides transmission speeds up to 10 Mbps and are more sensitive to system crashes so the Internet is more reliable. The cable network, while customarily used to connect to the Internet, is also for computer to computer sharing, using the signal to share files and information from computers that are directly plugged into the Internet. Therefore, the computer being used doesn't necessarily need to have a connection in order to be online. The user can choose different speeds depending on their computer’s software.
Wireless has nearly doubled the Ethernet's efficiency and increased the value of owning a laptop, enabling business people to connect miles away. During meetings, the Ethernet permits everyone to look at the same information online. This also means wonders for computer gamers. Playstation, Xbox, and GameCube all now have Ethernet built into their consoles, allowing a PC to connect to any of the systems. Ethernet wireless specializers, like Netgear and Linksys, have created adapters so gamers can play any game on all three of the systems; provided the game developers have made the game compatible.
Netgear has the WGE111 54 Mbps wireless game adapter which can connect to any game ready console. With one adapter, two computers can be connected for head to head gaming. Even for beginner players, the adapter is easy to use and can switch modes whenever necessary.
While the Ethernet wireless card may seem like a small thing, it has changed the way we use computers. But then again, it’s not something one really thinks about, as long as they stay connected.
