Home Network - Tristan Dini
1.) My L.A.N network consist of 3 phones, 2 computers, a printer, and an Xbox. They are all connected to a modem router combination which runs through an ONT (optical network terminal). Then out of the ONT runs the phone line and fiber optics cable through the window and then to wherever they go next.
2.) I had one big take away from this and that was how complex networks are. That's not only counting the networks themselves but also all the extra thing that ISPs tack on. The way it all comes down to money is not surprising but still a little bit unexpected at the same time.
3.) The only thing that anyone looking at internet service providers should know is to make sure you know all the little details in the plan you're buying. Don't let yourself get robbed of your money.

I have XFinity Wifi that connects with a coaxial wire. All of the devices in my house are wireless and the wifi provided. I learned a lot while doing this project. I learned how that most, if not all, companies use a different wire and router. Before this I though there was only one kid of wire, and I didn't know it had an actual name. Finally, I would tell other people to know about their network, because the more you know about it, the more you can understand it as a whole.

On my local area network, i have a home phone, the ethernet, the router, my brother's xbox, the front room tv, my phone, my brothers phone, my moms phone, and my dads phone. they are all connected to the wifi except for the home phone, the house phone is just connected to the internet.
Yes, i did have an OMG moment when i found out some important facts about my wireless connection. I found out that Verizon Wireless sells Wi-Fi hotspot devices, and home Internet services includes 4G LTE Broadband Router with Voice that can power a home's wireless network and connect up to 10 devices and a home phone.
An ISP (Internet service provider) is a company that provides individuals and other companies access to the Internet and other related services such as web site building. An ISP has the telecommunication line access required to have a special presence on the Internet. The larger ISPs have their own high speed so that they are less dependent on the telecommunication providers and can provide better service to their customers. Among the largest national and regional ISPs are AT&T WorldNet, IBM Global Network, MCI, Netcom, UUNet, and PSINet.
My Home Network
My L.A.N is connected to my Dad's computer and printer, also my T.V, PS4, Wii, and mine, my Mom's, and my Dad's iphones. Learning about the network was really weird. I never knew how complicated everything that went into keeping a regular network was. About half the names for the technology required sounded like a foregin language to me. Anyone who has a home network should know what a router is or what their ISP is

A. All the devices here are wireless except the consoles and computer, But as shown in the picture all of them are connected to my wifi.
B. I had an OMG moment when I found out about my internet and such not being completely private anywhere.
C. I would tell them to always know the difference between cables.
Home Network-Sam Friedman
a. What is connected to my L.A.N. is my phone, my mom's phone, my computer, my mom's computer, my ps4, our google home, our wii, and our tv/cable box.
b. I learned that all my devices connect to the internet through a modem/router.
c. I would say be careful because wifi providers will try to scam you based on the cable. They say that it will go faster but it won't.
Home Network - Zoe Kwasnicki
The devices on my home network are my phone and my dad's, our laptops, my mom's Mac, my little brother's chromebook and kindle, my dad's iPad, and our Apple TV which connects to our television. One new thing that I learned about networks is that the cable that connects our network to the internet can vary and depending on the type of cable the internet speed in our household can be vastly affected. Something I would tell other people about having a home network is that they should always research and make sure that they are getting their money's worth when choosing an internet service provider in order to avoid signing an unfair contract and losing money.

1) My L.A.N is wireless and it connects to all of houses tv`s computers and phone`s. It also has great wifi and and it`s really fast.
2) What i learned about networks is that they can connect to multiple devices.
3)I would tell them that they need to learn about the different ones there are and make sure that they know that it provides a lot of the internet.

1. The devices connected to my home network are 5 phones, each belonging to one of my immediate family members. My brother Mawuko, my sister Afi, my dad, my mom, and me. Then there are laptops belonging to my brother, my sister, and I. Those are the wirelessly connected devices. Connected through a cable is my desktop computer. Without the desktop, my wifi won't work and vice-versa.
2. Overall, I learned that the plan I'm on is terrible and I'll definitely be speaking to my father about this. I learned the different components that make up a plan and how people trick you into getting horrible deals
3. I encourage people to learn and find out what's going on with their network. It'll never hurt to know, even if you can't change anything.
My Home Network - Gia Torres
My Local Area Network basically looks like a bunch of electronics connected to my internet connection. We are a family where basically everyone has their own personally items. So, everything is connected to the internet 24/7 which, does slow things down. Plus we all have smart tvs and game consoles that sit there and we don’t really use but they are automatically connected taking space. My network is Comcast which in my opinion is kind of slow. But, It also could be everything that is connected to the network.
I actually learned a lot about networks. Especially when we were creating the chart since I had not realized how much was actually on our network alone so, it made me rethink why our network is slow sometimes. Also learning a lot about how network providers trick you into believing you have fast internet connection when they could actually be slowing it down. I was really shocked about how things actually interfere when you add more and more things onto a network.
I would tell them to look at what you are getting into before you chose your provider. Since a lot of providers could trick you into thinking you are getting the fastest service. Also make sure you chose wisely what you want on your network since everything basically gets saved onto your network creating tracks. This is basically what I want other people to know so they are able to get what they actually need to have good service.
Home Network-Xin Yi Zou
My home network contains of two modems/routers. One is modem/router is under a Verizon plan with FIOS tv cable and the other modem/router doesn’t come with a plan, but the wire we use to receive wifi is coax wire. There are many devices connected to these modems/routers. For example, the modem/router with the Verizon plan a laptop, three phone (two are my dad’s phone and one is mine), and one tablet is connected to that wifi. On the other modem/router the rest of the family’s device is connected to the wifi. For example, my sisters’ phones, my brother laptop, my mom’s phone, and etc. What I learned about the network is that it’s like a tiny universe that many people don’t know that exist and it is a complicated process of using the internet in a fast speed. Everything we do online can never be hidden. One thing that surprised me while learning this is that not a lot of people know what is going on behind the screens and they think that if they delete something, it won’t be found anymore. I would tell other people to be careful when they are using the internet or using social media because everything they do can be refound and will be there forever.

My home network includes many components. My coaxial cord connects the world wide web and my modem router. The ethernet cable cords connect to my first and third tv. It also connects to my dad's computer. My family's phones, ipads, computers, second tv, and fourth tv are wireless. I learned that home networks are a lot more confusing then I thought. I think everyone should know about their homework network so they can solve a lot of cable problems themselves and save money.

In my house we have verizon with a phone wire connecting our many devices. First we have our three family phones for me, my dad, and my stepmom. Then, we have our family tablet that we use. Also, we have three tvs, two of which are connected to an xbox that we use to game. Last I have my school laptop. I learned that we have so many electronics. I never realized how much we actually had. I would tell other people to be careful on what the company is charging you vs. what you have because it may not match up.

My Local Area Network gets internet from Comcast and it uses ethernet cables and WiFi. The devices that are connected to my wifi is my PS4, 4 iPhones, 3 laptops (including my school laptop), a printer, a smart TV, and an iPad. The devices that are connected to my ethernet cables are 3 computers only.
From the what I've recently learned, I thought the most important thing was that there is no privacy. It may sound creepy and such but it's how things go around me. This was the biggest shocking fact but I won't do anything bad, I promise.
I would tell others to know what type of cable is being used for their internet because the cables are the ones bringing the internet at a certain speed to your home.

My local area network mostly consists of wireless devices, such as a couple phones, televisions, and computers. The xbox 360 and Omen gaming Laptop however are both connected via ethernet along with an internet extender downstairs. The Omen laptop’ connections to both the Samsung TV and the Router are not permanent and are only connected when at home.
I have learned a bit about my network through this. I finally found where the cable actually comes into the house, along with where the modem is. I also learned that my internet comes in via coax rather than fiber despite having very low ping, 50/50 down and up, and my ISP being FIOS. I also learned that my dad’s Dell Inspiron desktop is not connected via ethernet and is connected via wireless.
Something that I would tell people about ISPs are that they’ll probably lie to you. They’ll create the image of something, but not exactly. Also having a home network also requires both 2.4 and 5GHz connections as sometimes one may be too far or too slow.
Home Network-Kankoue Folly
My L.A.N is a good and decent network there aren't really too many things connected to it so it works fine sometimes it buffers while I'm further away from the router.
What I learned about networks were that they are more complex than I thought I thought it was more simple but when i figured out that there were many different ways to use it and why countries used it. I was suprised that was an OMG moment for me .

- My home network is Verizon it comes into my house through a cable. The phones, kindles, and ipads are connected via a router that is connected to my verizon cable. My has a roku box connected to it that connected to my wifi router. All of the devices in my house are connected to the world wide web.
I learned that a lot of different components go into just being able to access the internet. I found it interesting that people can do so much online.
I would tell people to do there research because it’s really easy to get ripped off if you don’t know what you are actually getting. You could be getting service that is worth much less than what you are paying for.
