Home Network~Emma April

Posted by Emma April in Technology - Freshman · Hull · d2 Band on
A)
Wireless Devices
-Most of the wireless devices are either iPhones or Laptops. Everyone in my family owns an iPhone and a computer (but the computer is mainly used just for work purposes). We also have printers hooked up to the internet as well as a xbox and a TV.
Wired Devices
-The wired devices that are connected to my network are, TVs and Desktop computers.
B)
I had no idea that my router connected to all of my electronic devices, even my wireless ones. It was interesting to learn about what kind of cable we had (coaxile), what it looked like, and what it connected to.
C)
I would tell them that they need to know what kind of cable they have. If they don't know, I would tell them to check and see because if they have a strong cable then they won't necessarily have any major issues with their home network.

  a)  We have an old desktop computer that we rarely use, and two mac desktops that my dad uses to edit videos for work. We also have a landline phone that we give the number to  cashiers when they ask for our number so that our cell phones won't get spammed in phone calls. We have a television that we watch sports on and our TV is connected to a Wii, and XBOX, and Cable. We have three IPads that my younger sister uses for entertainment and my dad uses for work. We have four cell phones for my mom, dad, older sister, and me. Everyone in my family that has a phone besides my mom, has unlimited data for our phones. We also have 5 laptops. Two of them are me and my sisters school laptops, one is my mom's laptop, and the other two are my dad's laptops. 

   b) I had an OMG moment when I realized how much technology we have in our house. I learned that home networking is sort of split up into two categories; wireless and wired. 

   c) I would tell other people that have an ISP/ Home Network that having a router/ modem will help you to get things done a lot faster connected to the internet.

Reflection
1. The devices connected to my home network is my mom's phone, dad's phone, my phone and my little brothers phone. Also are two iPads, my brother's Wii U, Echo Alexa, and my dad's Macbook. 
2. I learned about how my internet gets into my home, which is through a phone wire. Also, I never knew our internet providers were Comcast. 
3. I would tell people that they need to educate themselves on their home networks because their network providers could be changing their speed or even charging them more money without them even knowing.

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

On my local area network for my home, we have 3 cellphones, Mine, my mom's and my dad's (plus my sister when she is home from college). We have 2 televisions, the one in the living room and the one in my parent's room. Along with that we have 4 computers, my mom's laptop, my dad's laptop, my chromebook and a desktop. 

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.

The thing that I learned that really surprised me was when we learned that the cloud wasn't just an abstract thing. I always knew it was real but I never really comprehended the fact that it was a real, physical thing. 

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

One thing I would tell others about having their own home network is that the internet is a real physical thing, and that everything you see or do is concrete and will really live forever.

​a. My family local area network is xfinity. All of my devices connect to this L.A.N.
b. I am really surprised that we don't connect to a wireless "cloud" meaning our networks travels in the air.
c. I would tell them that there is no such thing as an actual cloud because it's important to understand where everything starts from.

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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

Posted by Alexander Guigar in Technology - Freshman · Hull · d2 Band on

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. 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.

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.

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.
