Hey all,

As a school project we were given the task to set up a small computer facility of around 20 computers and all other hardware, i.e. storage devices, printers, modems, routers, etc. My main concern is the network of the facility as I have no idea where to start.

What would be the most suitable hardware to purchase for the network and how would it be installed? I know that a modem and a router will be in there but how do they connect to 20 computers? Is connection via Ethernet cable absolutely necessary in this environment?

I'm sorry if the question is a bit broad but that is all I need, just a general overview of how to set up the network and how it would work.

Thanks in advance!!!

No, the teacher didn't really discuss networking. I'm in not asking you to do my homework, sorry if it came out like that. I merely described the context in which I'm going to be using the information I asked for. If you can't or don't want to explain how the network in such a facility works can you at least provide me with a link or a book I can read? Again sorry for any misunderstanding.
