My Home Network
- explain your L.A.N. Local Area Network - all the devices on your internet connection.
I have many devices connected to my L.A.N. First is the modem which sends Fios to the router. The router sends data to all devices connected to my network.
The devices connected to my network are a FireTV and a mac mini which are both connected to the network by ethernet cables. The following devices are connected to wifi. They are a macbook, chromebook, an iPad 3, an iPad mini 2, an iPhone 5s, a kindle, kindle paperwhite, and a bathroom scale.
- 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 learned that the internet and wifi are two different things. The internet is brought into the house by fios and that the router transmits the internet to the devices on my network by the ethernet cables and Wifi. My OMG moment was when I realized why the wifi was turned off on the mac mini because it is connected to the network by ethernet cables.
- what would you tell other people that they need to know about having an ISP/Home network?
I would tell other people that they need to know that wifi and internet are different things. They would also need to know that devices connect in different ways like Wifi and ethernet cables. I would also tell them that if they wanted to use a device far from the router they have to make sure is was wifi since wifi is wireless.
