With the prices of computers dropping to all time lows (you can get a full computer for as low as $300 after rebate!) more and more people are getting additional computers for their home, and networking them for a simple LAN. This is all well and good but sometimes finding the right networking kit, and setting it up can be a daunting task. This is where the Actiontec USB Single-Room Starter kit comes in. Sporting an extremely easy to setup USB to USB computer connection, this could vary well be one of the easiest to use networking kits for the home.

Installation

The installation of the Actiontec USB Single-Room Starter Kit was very easy. Utilizing USB you don't even need to open your case to install the hardware. Lately USB has been the hot ticket in external input devices. With a faster bandwidth then traditional serial ports, and instant installation (you don't even need to power down your computer), it is no wonder that USB has caught on so much.

After plugging in the USB cables to each computer your next step would be to load the drivers from the CD. After installing the drivers your next step would be to reboot. Upon reboot your network should be operating properly (after the software has taken care of all the needed network protocols), and ready for use.
