Home Network- Antonia Solar

Posted by Antonia Solar in Technology - Freshman · Hull · e2 Band on
1. First, I have my house connected to the worldwide web by my XFINITY wifi router which comes into my house by a coaxial cable. The iPads, phones and laptops are then connected through my wireless network that comes from my router.

2. I thought it was interesting making the whole thing on lucidcharts and finding out everything that is connected to my home network.

3. I learned where my wifi came from and that my router was connected by a coaxial cable. I also learned that bundles are not good because they become more expensive as time goes by. I would tell other people to be smart about what they pay for and to take into consideration what they are going to mainly use their wifi for.

My family has two iPhones, one blackberry, and one laptop, which are all connected to our WiFi router. I learned that our TV is not connected directly to WiFi, but connected to the cable box. If I talked to another person about ISP (Internet Service Provider) or a home network, I would tell them that it is important to get a good price on their internet package, and be educated on reasonable prices.

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

My internet comes through comcast. Then my router/modem transfers it to my 4 phones one tablet, two laptops and an X box and my printer. These are all wireless except my printer.


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 honestly learned where and how exactly you get internet.


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

You should always try to get fiber optics if you can.

My local area network is connected by underground wires which is safe and seems to create less destruction above ground. I have fiber octaves which provides a faster internet connection. I learned the right way to break rules which has to be done first be learning about them. People need to know if they have an ethernet cord or something else.

A. The devices on my LAN are 4 smartphones that are all associated by T-Mobile, 3 Roku Smart televisions that all but one is connected to my Xfinity wifi router, and one television is connected to my Netgear router, 2 Amazon Kindle fire tablets that belong to my little brother and Sister, and a couple of gaming consoles that connects to the Xfinity wifi router

B. I learned about how my home internet works and how everything is connected.

C. I suggest everyone should be careful on the amount of things that the have on one internet source or it the connection wil slow down or even get a virus on your netowrk.

3a. The LAN for my home network consists of My IPhone, My Mom's Phone, My computer, My WiiU, and My Playstation 4.

3b. From this project I learned how everything in my house worked through codes and systems, and not just the password protecting it that granted my devices access to the Internet.

3c. I would tell people to make sure they place their router in a good place and make sure they have a good setup to provide internet for all their devices.

What this diagram is showing you is what my home network look like. In the diagram the Modem is my internet box which is FIOS-SW58 and it is sending a signal connection to the all the devices that is near it. The devices that is connected to it is 4 laptops, game systems, mobile phones, a firestick, and the EPSON printer. Also, the Netgear is connected to the internet by an ethernet cord and is the Netgear is used to have the home security network connected to it. So far I learned about what a ethernet cord is and it is a wire that carry signals from your modem or router. I also learned that the modem is your internet box which I never heard that word before. What I would tell other people about having a ISP is that it connects to a cloud where everything is stored at and it helps for other devices to run faster.

1. If you can't see, but you probably can, where It all starts is world wide web. After the world wide web as you can see i have it connecting to my home router which gives of a connection network signal to all of our phones ipods ipads, laptops, or computers. I also have it showing connection to my school which use the district of philadelphia network connection which a good handful of schools.

2.Yes, I did have and OMG moment while listening and creating this lucidchart honestly thought everything just was like relevant to air. 

3.If there is one thing that i would tell you about ISP network is that you have to stay on top of all your equipment.  Don't go to cheap or too high both tend(as in not alway) to have lower quality so as long as you're up to date you ISP should be safe.

Home Network- Alex Jimenez

My internet goes through the Firewall that allows the internet to be a lot more faster and my firewall protects my electronics to not be hacked with my fast internet and not allow viruses to spead to different electronics. My internet isnt the fastest and that means that my wireless router won’t be the fastest either but it allows my electronics to give me a great online expirience. I was shocked to learn that my internet is possibly one of the biggest scams out there because you need to have the fastest in order to have a good wireless router connection. I would tell people that having a home network is something to be very cautious about because you could get something that is a scam or get a good deal.

Advanced Essay #1: Don't Underestimate

Posted by Eric Gorski in English 3 · Block · A Band on

Advanced Essay


I am going to start this paper with a scene from my life. This scene is from when I was playing in a football game when I was eight years old. I was well under four feet tall and weighed less than fortyfive pounds. I was the smallest kid on my team. This is interesting because my last name, Gorski, means mountain. So anyway, it was the second quarter, first down and ten, the ball was in the redzone. Ironically, I was playing right guard, a position normally played by one of the bigger players on the team. I lined up against my opponent, a defensive tackle two full heads taller than me. The center snaps the ball and I struggle to block my opponent. Eventually he knocks me down and gets to the quarterback sacking him. He was fast getting up off the line but I knew I was faster. Next play and the center snaps the ball. Then, almost instantly, I am in my opponent’s face. I get my forearms under his shoulder pads and push up with all my strength. This time he goes down, his face frozen in astonishment. The quarterback makes the throw and… Touchdown! At the end of the play stood over my opponent and said, “Don’t get back up or I will knock you down again.” At that moment his coach pulled him off the field and didn’t put him back in the game. In this scene I did not expect to knock down the other kid. Especially not after he knocked me down the play before. I knew I could block him. So I did do better than I had expected. After reading this scene some people might say that I can be a little arrogant at times. They are right but also wrong at the same time. It may seem like I am being arrogant but if I put my mind to something, most of the time I can do it.

At my old school there was a mentally gifted program. It started in fifth grade and went to eighth grade. You have to take a test to get in and if you get a good enough score they put you in the program. I was able to take the test and I had been the only one to get into the program with a one hundred percent that year. I knew I was smart but I didn’t know I was the smartest kid in my grade. I thought that someone must be smarter than me, but nobody was. However that didn’t surprise me too much.

This scene is from when I was playing lacrosse in seventh grade. I had been playing lacrosse for two years prior to this and for the second year I played goalie. In this game I played goalie for the entire time. The referee blows his whistle and asks the starting line up for each team to line up at mid field. He asks the goalies, me and the other one, to shake hands and then go to our goals. Then the rest of both teams shake hands and it was time to start the game. By the end of the first quarter my team was winning and the other team still hadn’t scored on me. The second and third quarters ended the same way. However towards the end of the fourth quarter the other team scored I was disappointed in myself because it was an easy shot to stop. The game ended and my team won. While I was still beating myself up for letting that shot go in. Then the head coach for Father Judge High School’s junior varsity team called me over. He said that their goalie didn’t show up for their game starting in a few minutes and that he saw how good I played in the game before. Then he asked me to play for them. I was really tired at that point so I respectfully declined the offer. So the backup goalie for my team played for them. In this scene I also did way better than I had expected. However this scene is different because I was not thinking about how well I did. I focused on the negatives instead of the positives. Everyone from my team was happy we won except for me. Until the coach from Father Judge High School showed me that I did really good. Good enough to play with kids two plus years older than me. I do regret not playing in that game but if I did I probably would have done well.


Home Network - Eli Lerner

Posted by Elijah Lerner in Technology - Freshman · Hull · e1 Band on
​My Local Area Network consists of my Verizon Fios modem and router putting out 100 up and 100 down. All of my family's devices are connected wirelessly to the network. There are four phones, three laptops, and one pc using the network daily.
      I didn't have an surprising moment because I knew most of the material, but I am fascinated by fiber optic wire.
      I would tell people to check what you are paying for and what you are getting because most of the time you are getting less.

My Home Network- Michaela Berger

There are 7 devices connected to the internet in my home. There are 3 laptop computers; 2 macbooks and my chromebook. Every member of my family has an iPhone model 6 or higher. My brother also has an iPad mini connected to the internet. There are 4 wi-fi channels in my house. The "613G" and "613G Guest" are for cellular usage. The "613G_5Hz" and "613G_5Hz Guest" are for computers. When researching and learning about my home network, I found out how information travels over the internet. What you need to know about having an Internet Service Provider or home network is to do research to get the best plan for you.

All of the deceives in my home are wirelessly connected. In total there are 17 deceive on my network. After doing this assignment I was shocked to find out that there is a phone line connected to my modem/router instead of any other wire, because I thought phone lines were only meant for phones. If you have the similar  network as me it is not the fastest.

A.) My network starts from the World Wide Web then it goes to my house where I have the Modem/Router from Verizon Fios. The Modem/Router connects to four iPhones, three apple laptops, two iPads and my Amazon Alexa Dot. 

B.) Through this project, I learned that the World Wide Web is all connected, nothing on the internet is truly erased. I learned that we should all be careful with the use of modern day social media and technology. I learned different wires of the routers. I also learned that the network companies can be shady. 

C.) I would suggest researching what type of network company would be best for them. It is really important to know what is a good bargain for home internet because often times, people who don't know anything about internet get ripped off. If the internet guy were to supply me with a hub, i would know there is something wrong because unless I am specifically asking for a hub, hubs are slow and will not work as well as the usual duo of Modem/Router. Meanwhile trying to find good internet, we also have to keep in mind the price.

​1)All the devices on my internet connection are, 3 phones, 3 kindles, a desktop computer, and TV.
2) I learned that everything in my house is wireless and that I only need one modem to run my whole house. 
3)I would tell other people that having a home network is very useful. You can connect all your devices  to one thing and have everything nice and organized. Also some companies like to rip you of, so if you know everything about your network and internet, then you know which provider to choose and stuff like that.
This is a diagram of my home network. I have a verison box that connects to a modem that is then wireless to all my devices. The dotted lines means it's wireless.

​1. When the wifi comes down it goes through the fiberoptic wire. Everything is connected the the fiberoptic wire.  
2. I did not know there were so many wires that connected to so many things. I also did not know that so many different wires had so many different names and purposes. 
3. People need to know about having a home network because when they are older they will be able to research and find the best network and not get ripped off.

Home Network - Preston Bennington

In my home, we have quite a few devices. The first set of which use a wired connection, which means they must plug directly into the modem using an Ethernet cable. These devices are my desktop computer and my Raspberry Pi, which is just a little bitty computer about the size of a student ID card. The next set of devices is connected with a wireless connection, or WiFi. These devices include my parents' macbooks, my chromebook, my 3DS system, and our ancient Wii console. The last set, or other connections, is a bit tricky. They technically also use the WiFi, but for the most part they use a cell signal, or cellular data. The most important part of keeping a strong home network would be keeping track of all the devices using the network, and what devices use the most and least data or electricity to minimize costs.

This is my home network and my network provider is Comcast so a coax wire brings in the internet from the outside and connected to my modem the Motorola SURFboard SB6141. Then, a ethernet cable is connected to my router, the ASUS RT-N56U Gigabit Ethernet. As you can see, most of my devices in my house is connected wirelessly. All the three laptops, phones, tablets, and one chromecast stick is connected wirelessly in my home network. My dad’s desktop is connected wirelessly too because he have a wifi adapter to connect wirelessly without using a ethernet cable. Finally, my printer is connected with a USB cable onto my dad’s desktop. What I learn about networks is that you have to be aware about what are you sharing with other like thinking twice. I learn this from the OMG book when the girl send a whole powerpoint presentation of the sexuall things she did to her friends which their friends reshare it and it leak publicly. It ruin her life and the the other boys life so it taught me to think twice. Having a home network is basically a group of devices that is all connected to the router which the internet is brings in from a coax wire or a fiber wire depending on your provider to the modem.

​1. My LAN is comprised of a coaxial cable connected to a  modem and router combo with my ISP being Verizon Fios. Most of the devices I use are wireless with the only hard-wired devices being my desktop and the Canon Fax and Copy Machine. Some of the wireless technology used in my home is a PS4, a printer, and various phones.
2. I learned a lot while taking on this unit. The thing that was most interesting to me was how fiber optic works and how it is performed; with the light bouncing off at a very fast speed is really astonishing. 
3. When having a home network, and you own either a desktop or a printer, it's important to hard wire them through an ethernet cable to take advantage of the gigabit per second it travels through. Also, opt for a router instead of a switch as routers are much faster.
