Home Network - Ethan McLeer

1. My local area network (L.A.N), has my computer, my laptop, four phones, two iPads, and one Xbox One.

2. I have learned a lot about networks. One interesting thing that I earned about is bandwidth. When your are trying to download something, it will download faster with fewer devices on the home network.

3. One thing that I would tell someone about having a home network is bandwidth. Many of my friends download apps or games and it takes them a while. I would tell them to take devices off their home network to make the app or game download faster.

1. explain your L.A.N. Local Area Network - all the devices on your internet connection. 
I would say that we have quite a lot of wireless links on our home network which explains why there's some internet traffic in our house when everyone's online.
2. 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 learned that our home networks may seem a bit complicated at first but after some review it becomes easier to understand how home networks do their job.
3.what would you tell other people that they need to know about having an ISP/Home               network?
I would say that more people should learn to understand home networks as it's crucial to be aware of how everything in your home network connects, and the amount of stress their router can handle.

All the devices described on my internet connection are: my computer tablet phone and television, my mom's phone, her husband's phone, family television, all of our laptops, the wii that's wirelessly connected to my television, and the family ipad. 
What I learned while learning about networks was how many places a network has to go through before it gets delivered to your device.
Something I would inform other people about their home networks is that nothing is private no matter how private you think it is and to be careful what you view because of exactly all the steps a network goes through before reaching your computer.

1. In my LAN, there are plenty of devices. It is connected to many, many devices in my home, such as my family computer, my family laptop, my school laptop, all of our tv’s, my printer, and everyone’s phone (there are 4).

2. I learned a lot about my home network while doing this project. I learned that my internet at home is surprisingly faster than most people's internet in my stream and around the world. I also learned that I have a combination modem/router, which is also not very common with people in my class. In general, my house is fairly technologically advanced. This was an OMG moment because I realized that I am blessed to have the life that I have, and I learned that I shouldn't take it for granted.

3. ISP stands for Internet Service Provider. Most of the time, your internet service provider is also your cable provider, but not always. For example, my internet service provider is Verizon Fios, but my cable provider is Directv. An easy way to see who your ISP is to look at your modem. This can be anywhere in your house, so you have to find it and it should be right on the top/side.

A.) In my household, we have a lot of devices that needs wifi to work 100%. We have multiple phones connected to the wifi, as well as laptops and tablets. As you can see everything except the for the T.V is wireless. The T.V has wires connected from our wifi box to give us cable. 

B.) Learning about my network made me notice a lot of things about my wifi. I learned/notice that wifi is very important to wifi. Also how wifi can e(a)ffect technology in positive and negative ways. 

C.) Well in the world we live in some people can go on without the use of technology but to tell the people with a home network,I can tell them how Wifi play's an enormous role in their technology.

A.) There are 11 total devices on the wifi at my house. Most of them are used at the same time and are wireless. There are 4 xbox ones, 6 tvs, 1 IPad.
B.) I learned that a tv could be hooked up to the wifi and that there are so many devices on the wifi.
C.) People should know how many devices are on the wifi and how they are connected to it.

a.) All the devices that are connected to the internet are iPhones, iPad, Laptops, T.V., Fire Stick, and Xbox One 

b.) I learned that WiFi can come from different types of buildings to all homes around the building. I did have a OMG moment, I learned that whatever WiFi that you connect to that is not yours, the people controlling that WiFi knows what you are doing and that you have to follow their rules

c.) That the satellite goes through all over the world into your home network, then into your WiFi box and into your cable box, that would then let you watch any channels you want, then, the WiFi connects to any/all of your devices and let you do whatever you want

A. In my house, there are five computers, a Nintendo Switch, a Wii U, and five phones.

B. I learned that Wifi isn't all wireless (or magic). I haven't had an LOL-OMG moment, however.

C. Don't get a triple package, it's expensive and no one actually uses their home phones. And, don't forget that the cable box doesn't magically give Wifi.
