From Bradley Mitchell, your Guide to Computer Networking
Over the past year we've been noticing gradually more interest in installing a second (and sometimes even a third) router onto a home network. Does that really work? And if so, why would you want to do this? We've got the answers below.

Can Two Routers Be Used on the Same Home Network?
Perhaps you or your family are considering purchasing a new home network router to upgrade from an older one. Or perhaps you have a very large home network already and are wondering whether a second router can improve performance. This article explains when a second router makes sense and includes many comments from our readers describing their own actual experience.

What DNSSEC Means To You
DNSSEC is an extension to the Internet Domain Name System (DNS). DNSSEC improves computer network security by adding extra intelligence to DNS that validates Internet domain names and addresses. Organizations around the world are gradually enabling DNSSEC to help prevent so called DNS cache poisoning attacks on their networks.

Does Geolocation Really Work?
So-called geolocation systems attempt to map IP addresses to geographic locations using large computer databases. Some geolocation databases are available for sale, and some can also be searched for free online. Does this geolocation technology really work?
