To manage a small computer LAN you can do so many things but I listed out few things below which gives some idea how to form a LAN network and to manage with basic security: - To form a small LAN network you need to buy a device called hub/bridge/switch which available in the market as per your budget. - If you go for Hub you may experience a collision in your network. - So either you can go for Bridge or Switch from any vendor like TP-Link, D-Link, Cisco,... - Once you get the device[Bridge/Switch] you need to connect your end devices like PC, Laptop, Printer, etc with the Bridge/Switch using Straight-through ethernet cables. - Assign the IP address to all the end device in the format of Same Network Address and different Host Address. - If it is Cisco Switch, you can shut down the unused ports for security reasons. You can enable BPDU filters, Sticky MAC Address and so many things to secure your network at First Level itself. - If it is any other vendors, check on the Internet what kind of security features does it supports. read less

The small computer network established in your room is referred as Intranet it might comes under Personal Area Network (PAN) A mini Server should make your life easier. This Intranet will be enough for you to take the control of all devices within your room however this will come up with a need to be connected to LAN if in case you need to touch the outer world. I would suggest you to study the fundamental basics of Client-Server architecture. read less
