Home Network - Alyssa Williams

Posted by Alyssa Williams in Technology - Freshman · Hull · d2 Band on
1. ​I am in a family of five so I have a lot of devices on my home network. We have five smartphones, 3 laptops, four tablets and three printers. We also have computers, tvs, and game systems that are not connected wirelessly. 

2. I learned a lot about networks, I learned about the different kinds of connections, chords, and how different things are connected to my network in different ways. 

3. I would tell people that it is very important  to know as much as you can about your home network. You want to know how to connect certain devices, and what chords to use to do different things. These are all some of the things that i learned from our tech lesson on networks and the internet.

1) All of the devices on my network are connected through the wifi. We do not have the ethernet, but we do have a modem/router. We are with xfinity with a coaxial cable and then many devices are connected. We have 6 tvs connected, 5 laptops, 4 phones, a Wii U, a Wii, a PS3, an Xbox, a radio, and many many more things that are connected.
2) I learned that people can rip people off in the home network. Some times they will say you are getting better deal, even though you are not. It surprises me that people will sell other people's bad deals in order to make money.
3) I would tell other people that beware that people will rip you off in the future.

I have two different wifi names and one is FiOS-F7B1M. The other is FiOS-F7B1M-5G. For an only child there are actually a lot of things connected to my router in my house, some of the things hooked up to my router are me, my mom's, and my grandmother's phone. I also have a Xbox One, Wii, and Wii U that are all hooked up to my router in order for me to play certain games. The rest of the things are basic things like a TV, computer, and such.

Something that I found cool and interesting while doing this assignment was that all the wifi comes from the router itself, not just some imaginary source that I thought was just floating around the world when I was a little kid

If you have your own Home Network something I would suggest is NEVER telling anyone your password. Cause if your do, that could start major problems with random people joining onto your wifi without you knowing.

1. On my internet connection, I have two phones, two laptops, one very old computer, one very old iMac, a Wii, an iPad and an iPad mini, and one Roku and one Apple TV
2. I thought it was interesting to remember how many devices me and my mom actually have with our internet connection. I also learned the difference between wired and wireless devices, which is good to know.
3. I think one of the most important things to know about getting a home network is knowing what you're going to need on your devices, whether it's the ability to watch videos or if you want to have unlimited text messages, it's better to know ahead of time. Also to never trust the package deals.

All of the devices connected to my internet connection are: my phone, my moms phone, my ps4, and the family computer.

I learned that a lot of the stuff in my house is connected using wifi. I also learned about the coaxial cable which I actually didn't know about.

Something I would tell someone about having a home network would be that they should take the time to actually learn about their network.

Digitalized Home Network Reflection​

A. Explain your L.A.N. (Local Area Network - all the devices on your internet connection.)

  • There are seven devices connected directly to my L.A.N. My mother, brother and I all have one phone and tablet connected to WiFi. On the L.A.N., we also have a desktop that is shared amongst the three of us that is directly connected to the router/modem and my brother and I have our personal laptops connected to the network through WiFi.

B. Reflect on what you learned about networks. Did you have an OMG moment that you learned something new and interesting? If not, write about what you learned.

  • I actually learned a lot about networks because I never knew how they worked, I just knew that they existed in many homes across America and the rest of the world. My “OMG” moment was when Ms.Hull said that if you have Verizon than you more than likely have a phone cord that connects the internet to your home. I thought that the internet was always connected to homes and other facilities through through ethernet.

C. What would you tell other people that they need to know about having an ISP/Home network?

  • I would tell others that have an ISP/Home Network that they need to be very careful about what they do and post on the internet because viruses and hackers could infiltrate your network if you aren’t. I would also tell them to educate themselves a little bit on home networks and how they work because if they don’t know at least the basics, a money-hungry company could overcharge them for something that they either don’t need or could've done themselves.

   My ​L.A.N- On my internet connection, I have my Iphone, my Mom's phone, my brothers phone, 2 laptops, a desktop computer, 3 smart tvs, and a printer.
  From doing this project, I learned that you can make specialized diagrams to myself, in the form or a lucid chart. That's pretty cool, because I never did anything like this before. 
    Things other people should know about having a home network is that you should be mindful of passwords and connections of your devices because there could be easy access to your devices. Hackers could get all your information. Also, you have to be careful what you look up, and who you interact with because your internet provider can see that.

My L.A.N. is the network used to connect an Amazon Stick, a Roku Box, a Printer, 2 phones, 2 computers and 2 tablets. 
I have learned about how the internet work. I learned that every cord is important and certain cords are better than others. I would tell people to do research on certain cords to make sure they are getting the fastest internet connection possible. 

MY Home Network

Posted by Zoe Zisser in Technology - Freshman · Hull · d2 Band on
1.) My home network has 4 tvs, 3 computers, 3 phones, one PS4, and a printer.
2.) Learning about home networks, is very confusing, one thing i have learned was what kind of cable goes to my modem/router. 
3.) One thing I would tell people is to do research and ask a lot of questions, so they know what kind of stuff they're getting into.

My Digital Home Network

a. My L.A.N. starts out with my modem router, which is connected by a coax cable, and my ISP is Comcast. Then from there, my phone, my brother's phone, my mom's phone, my dad's phone, and my sister's iPad are all wireless. Also, my chromebook, my brother's chromebook, my mom's laptop, and my dad's laptop are also wireless. My TV is wireless, but connected to my television is my XBOX, which is plugged in with an HDMI cable. Finally, my iMac and printer and connected with each other wirelessly, and both get connection from the internet wirelessly.

b. I learned that the internet isn't a cloud in the sky, even though that's how it's shown on my Lucid Chart. It actually exists somewhere on our planet! Also, I learned about how much complexity my home network really has and how it doesn't just "get" the internet. 

c. I would tell other people to take the time and find out all of the different connections in their home so they have a better understanding of what they're doing when they actually get an ISP/Home Network.

​a. The devices that are on my home network and mine and my parents. There is our phones, our laptops, and there ipads. There is also our chromecast, which is hooked up with our television. 

b. I learned about what exactly my home network was. Before this I had only a vague idea of how the internet/ wifi worked. I learned about who controls it, and how it works. 

c. I would tell other people that they need to do research on how the internet works and the parts needed so they don´t get ripped off.

  1. On my L.A.N I have 3 T.V’s, 2 printers, an imac, 2 tablets, an ipad, 4 iphones, security cameras, a projector box, 2 Dell laptops, a Playstation and an Xbox.


2. When I was mapping out my home network i was really surprised to see how many devices I have wirelessly connected to the modem.


3. I would tell them to not make it more complicated than it has to be, and to just get a stong modem/router to have a good connection.

1. First, I have my house connected to the worldwide web by my XFINITY wifi router which comes into my house by a coaxial cable. The iPads, phones and laptops are then connected through my wireless network that comes from my router.

2. I thought it was interesting making the whole thing on lucidcharts and finding out everything that is connected to my home network.

3. I learned where my wifi came from and that my router was connected by a coaxial cable. I also learned that bundles are not good because they become more expensive as time goes by. I would tell other people to be smart about what they pay for and to take into consideration what they are going to mainly use their wifi for.

My family has two iPhones, one blackberry, and one laptop, which are all connected to our WiFi router. I learned that our TV is not connected directly to WiFi, but connected to the cable box. If I talked to another person about ISP (Internet Service Provider) or a home network, I would tell them that it is important to get a good price on their internet package, and be educated on reasonable prices.

1. Explain your L.A.N. Local Area Network - all the devices on your internet connection.

My internet comes through comcast. Then my router/modem transfers it to my 4 phones one tablet, two laptops and an X box and my printer. These are all wireless except my printer.


2. Reflect on what you learned about networks, did you have an OMG moment that you learned something new and interesting? if now write about what you learned.


I honestly learned where and how exactly you get internet.


3. What would you tell other people that they need to know about having an ISP/Home network?

You should always try to get fiber optics if you can.

My local area network is connected by underground wires which is safe and seems to create less destruction above ground. I have fiber octaves which provides a faster internet connection. I learned the right way to break rules which has to be done first be learning about them. People need to know if they have an ethernet cord or something else.

A. The devices on my LAN are 4 smartphones that are all associated by T-Mobile, 3 Roku Smart televisions that all but one is connected to my Xfinity wifi router, and one television is connected to my Netgear router, 2 Amazon Kindle fire tablets that belong to my little brother and Sister, and a couple of gaming consoles that connects to the Xfinity wifi router

B. I learned about how my home internet works and how everything is connected.

C. I suggest everyone should be careful on the amount of things that the have on one internet source or it the connection wil slow down or even get a virus on your netowrk.

3a. The LAN for my home network consists of My IPhone, My Mom's Phone, My computer, My WiiU, and My Playstation 4.

3b. From this project I learned how everything in my house worked through codes and systems, and not just the password protecting it that granted my devices access to the Internet.

3c. I would tell people to make sure they place their router in a good place and make sure they have a good setup to provide internet for all their devices.

Home Network Nasir Duppins

What this diagram is showing you is what my home network look like. In the diagram the Modem is my internet box which is FIOS-SW58 and it is sending a signal connection to the all the devices that is near it. The devices that is connected to it is 4 laptops, game systems, mobile phones, a firestick, and the EPSON printer. Also, the Netgear is connected to the internet by an ethernet cord and is the Netgear is used to have the home security network connected to it. So far I learned about what a ethernet cord is and it is a wire that carry signals from your modem or router. I also learned that the modem is your internet box which I never heard that word before. What I would tell other people about having a ISP is that it connects to a cloud where everything is stored at and it helps for other devices to run faster.
