Looking for a diagram of a home network.

[ingeborgdot]

I am getting pieces together to setup a home network for a friend. I want to show him the setup that will be taking place. It will be coming in from a modem out to a wireless router out to a gig switch and from the switch out to a nas, computer, computer. From the wireless out to a laptop. I can't find a nice diagram of this setup anywhere. I know it sounds lazy but what I show him I would like it to look good. I could draw it but that does not look as nice. Does anyone know where I could find a diagram. I have been on google for an hour but must not be looking good enough. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

So it looks like this: diagram.JPG? You're probably better off drawing it yourself. You could make it look nicer by finding little representations for each thing instead of just using rectangles like me.

I made one that is ok. I figured I might as well give it a shot. I have never added an attachment on this forum so I am not sure how to do it. I will figure it out somehow.

You can Not attach an image in the Forums.

You can store the picture file on any Internet available space and post the link here.

You can open a free account on http://skydrive.live.com

Upload the picture to the public place for pictures and link it here.

You can also use Power Point to make a reasonable looking network diagram. That's what I have used in past since I only recently got Visio.

JThe forum software truncate long links to save space.

Just paste the full link: http://www. etc... as text and the forum software would take care of it.
