Shaheed's home network

Posted by Shaheed Williams in Technology - Freshman · Hull · d2 Band on

 My L.A.N. network is connected to my router which is provided by Xfinity. My router gets internet from the world wide web. Since my internet is wireless, the phones, computers, and the xbox one are connected to the router and gets internet from it. Connected to the router is the cable box with an ethernet cable. An ethernet cable connects the cable box and the smart tv. Bluetooth devices are connected to the phones, tv, and computers. I never realized that everything in my house is connected to a single router. What I would tell others about their home network, is to know what's connected. You never know when a hacker can ruin your life.

My Home Network

Posted by Alina Seing in Technology - Freshman · Hull · d1 Band on

Mostly all my devices are connected to my router called Z1F13 and some are connected to my Apple T.V.

I learned that most of my electronic devices are connected to my router while some are connected to my Apple T.V. I didn’t know how many electronic devices that are in my house. I also didn’t know that most of the internet in my house take up so much space.

I would tell people that not all the time your internet will be high speed. Make sure you choose the right ISP for your home. Not all network work as fast as other networks, Some work slow while others work fast. Don’t assume that your internet work fast because most of the time it’s not.

1) The devices on my LAN are my phone, my brothers ipod, my ipad, my mom's phone, my dad's phone and my two computers.

2) The one thing that I learned that was pretty crazy was packets on the internet. How anything that the internet receives and sends out are packets. Literally everything on the www is a packet. 

3) One thing that people need to know about having a home network is security. Security is probably the most important thing. If you don't have good security then anyone with basic computer knowledge can latch onto your network.

I learned that one modem gives connection to all my devices in my home.  My modem is a phone jack and we always have a phone number.  The wifi gives connection to most of the things in my home.  I also learned that the placement of the modem doesn't give me good signal in my room because it doesn't travel through concrete walls very much.  My modem is a dull band modem, 5 ghz and 2.4 ghz.  I also didn't know that the coaxial cable gives my modem a signal and converts it to internet.

  • explain your L.A.N. Local Area Network - all the devices on your internet connection. I have numerous things connected to my internet connection such as 3 smartphones, 2 laptops, 2 smart t.v's, air purifier, cable box, and roku device #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 absolutely did have an omg moment. I had a handful but the one that really made my wheels spin was that if I use someone's wifi that they can actually see what I search! I searched how to make my mean family member feel comfortable, this means my cousins saw this! that's why they were asking all of those questions, lol.
  • what would you tell other people that they need to know about having an ISP/Home network?  BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SEARCH WHERE YOU SEARCH!

My Home Network

The world wide web leads into the router. The router does two things.It’s connected to the laptop by an ethernet cord and connected with five smart phones. The laptop is connected to a printer with a printer cable. That’s how my internet is used in my household.

I learned that my internet is connected to A LOT of things no wonder it’s slow at times.

If I could tell somebody about their home network I would tell them to really look at how your internet is connected and see is there anyways you can improve the speed of it?

explain your L.A.N. Local Area Network - all the devices on your internet connection. I have the modem which receives the connection for my house. Then the modem sends out wireless signals for two different networks. I strategically have devices on the networks I would like them to be on for the best connection. Anything used primarily for streaming I put on one network, and anything else is on the other.

reflect on what you learned about networks, did you have an OMG moment that you learned something new and interesting? I always thought that the internet was everything visible online, when its really made up of servers, computers, and modems etc.

what would you tell other people that they need to know about having an ISP/Home network? Keep your modem as high as possible for the best connection.

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 had an OMG moment when I really realized that once it’s on the internet even though you think it’s gone it’s never really gone.

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

I would tell people BE CAREFUL what you post on the internet because you’ll never know who will see it.

Donny's home network

Posted by Donald Moses in Technology - Freshman · Hull · d2 Band on
My house's ISP is Verizon Fios, ​my L.A.N is a Modem router that gets its data from a grey cat/10 wire. Everything connected to it by wires are my parent's computers that are wired to the router by ethernet cords and also the TV in the living room as well as the telephone I think but I don't know what kind of wire though. The things connected wirelessly include my laptops, my sister's laptops and our Iphones, and me and my mother's tablets. Learning about the network was a fun as I found the mini video about the network funny. I'm not that easy to make go OMG unless it's a very funny video or it's so dramatic in my opinion. I would say that when you get an ISP/Home network look up the real price then multiply the price by 12 to see how much money you'r using for wifi for a year.

explain your L.A.N. Local Area Network - all the devices on your internet connection. -So I have Xfinity Comcast, so I have a coax cord and that is connected to a modem router. And then it is connected with all of my devices. And you can see it on the picture.

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 there are different routers and different ISP have different cords. On OMG that it can be a lot to have a app, like he had to start all over a couple time, so he can have a better app.

what would you tell other people that they need to know about having an ISP/Home network? -So I have Xfinity Comcast and the cord is a coax cord and it is connected to my modem router.

1. ​Explain your L.A.N. Local Area Network - all the devices on your internet connection.
In my house the following devices use my family's wifi: 3 desktop computers, 4 laptops, 4 smart phones, 1 iPod, 1 Amazon Echo, and 1 Roku stick.

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 the internet you use in your home is not as direct as I had thought. It has to travel from a far away land all the way to your modem, and then it is distributed to all the devices connected to that modem. I think that's really interesting.

3. What would you tell other people that they need to know about having an ISP/Home network?
Just be aware of where your internet comes from and be in control of your home network.

2.) The things that i learned about home networks were that the wire that connects to the modem impacts the speed.Also that the internet and wifi are two different things. 
3.)That the internet and wifi are two different things because most people think they're the same thing.

How I explained all my local area network or how all the devices on the internet connection is first all the internet materials are in my house. Next, the modem/router is plug in the wire. Then, the modem’s wire is plug in the optical network terminal box where it makes the internet, tv channels, and the movies from the tv works. Last, the modem’s lights will flash green which means it works now so we get the internet username and password from the modem to connect it to our phones like my iphone 5s, two laptops, my mom’s tablet, iphone 6s plus, a tv, my little brother’s laptop, iphone 5, my older sister’s iphone 6s plus, and my grandma’s tv.

What I learned something new is that the white verizon box I’ve seen for 3 years was actually called the optical network terminal and it’s actually the main and important network that makes the internet, tv channels, and the free movies from the tv works.

What I would tell about the other people having the ISP or the home network is that the verizon fios is the fast internet and it’s cheaper than the old internet I used to have.

​explain your L.A.N. Local Area Network - all the devices on your internet connection.
        My L.A.N. is all my devices connected to a fios router, which is connected by a fiber optic cord then goes to the world wide web.

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.
       What I learned was that the stuff you receive or send goes through an exploratory amount of distance and ect. to go to my computer or the receivers.


what would you tell other people that they need to know about having an ISP/Home network?
     I would tell them it takes a lot of money. Also that you have to buy fios because they have fiber optic cables which means it goes the speed of light almost.

This is my home network chart. The internet comes from the Cloud through Fiber Optic wires into my family's router in our dining room. From the router comes my home's WiFi, LYBCJ. That WiFI is connected to all of the devices in my family; my father's tablet and phone, my mother's tablet, my phone, my grandparents' iPad, and our desktop tower. The tower connects to our desktop computer, and two printers, by USB cords. I didn't have an "OMG moment", but I did learn a lot more in-depth about the way the internet works and gets to my devices. I didn't realize how much work it actually takes. If I were advising someone else, I'd tell them to choose a network with fiber optics, because I learned that it moves the fastest of all of the types of wires.

My L.A.N is verizon for all my devices . I learned that finding things about your network can be tricky and hard to understand, but once you take a look at it a few times, it’ll make sense. I had to two OMG moments, one was when I found out how much it coast per month to have verizon services. My second OMG was when I realized how many devices I have in my house.
