dranjithk Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I'm planning to set up a LAN at home so that friends can come over for LAN parties. Nothing can match the fun playing with friends under the same roof! Now, I need to know the hardware I'd require to set things up. I already have a D-Link 5 port switch. Do I need anything more? Also, it'd be great if someone can guide me how to set things up! Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are u gonna connect via Wi-fi ???????/ Also what is your broadband from your ISP? Planning to connect via Ethernet. Using 2 Mbps from BSNL. Btw, how does the bandwidth matter? I'm planning to use a switch! I have LAN parties all the time , but I'll let someone else elaborate because I am too lazy ( So are you BTW , some simple googling would have answered all your questions ) Yes, I'm lazy. But seeing the sparse responses I got in this thread, I figured it out myself through Google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shantz Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 What else do you need apart from a switch and ample power plugs and cables? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sackboy Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 What else do you need apart from a switch and ample power plugs and cables? Nothing at all its even easier if you have wi fi devices , I have 4 wi fi enabled desktops at home ( moms office ) , awesome Minecraft LAN partys every time friends come over.

J_Edwards Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 To start LAN setup you with have the component like; a swithch , some Lan cable (either CAT5 or 5e or CAT 6). If you bauying the simple cable to connect them you need some RJ45 conecctor. Or if you have ready made cable of that length its ok. how to stream league of legends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
