Technology Introduction
Introduction to Broadband Router Technology
A router is a device that forwards data packets from a source to a destination. Routers forward data packets using IP
addresses and not a MAC address. A router will forward data from the Internet to a particular computer on your LAN.
The information that makes up the Internet gets moved around using routers. When you click on a link on a web page,
you send a request to a server to show you the next page.The information that is sent and received from your computer
is moved from your computer to the server using routers. A router also determines the best route that your information
should follow to ensure that the information is delivered properly.
A router controls the amount of data that is sent through your network by eliminating information that should not be there.
This provides security for the computers connected to your router, because computers from the outside cannot access
or send information directly to any computer on your network. The router determines which computer the information
should be forwarded to and sends it. If the information is not intended for any computer on your network, the data is
discarded. This keeps any unwanted or harmful information from accessing or damaging your network.
Introduction to Firewalls
A firewall is a device that sits between your computer and the Internet that prevents unauthorized access to or from
your network. A firewall can be a computer using firewall software or a special piece of hardware built specifically to act
as a firewall. In most circumstances, a firewall is used to prevent unauthorized Internet users from accessing private
networksorcorporateLAN’sandIntranets.
A firewall watches all of the information moving to and from your network and analyzes each piece of data. Each piece of
data is checked against a set of criteria that the administrator configures. If any data does not meet the criteria, that data is
blocked and discarded. If the data meets the criteria, the data is passed through. This method is called packet filtering.
A firewall can also run specific security functions based on the type of application or type of port that is being used.
For example, a firewall can be configured to work with an FTP or Telnet server. Or a firewall can be configured to work
with specific UDP or TCP ports to allow certain applications or games to work properly over the Internet.

Introduction to Local Area Networking
Local Area Networking (LAN) is the term used when connecting several computers together over a small area such
asabuildingorgroupofbuildings.LAN’scanbeconnectedoverlargeareas.AcollectionofLAN’sconnectedovera
large area is called a Wide Area Network (WAN).
A LAN consists of multiple computers connected to each other. There are many types of media that can connect
computers together. The most common media is CAT5 cable (UTP or STP twisted pair wire.) On the other hand,
wireless networks do not use wires; instead they communicate over radio waves. Each computer must have a Network
Interface Card (NIC), which communicates the data between computers. A NIC is usually a 10Mbps network card, or
10/100Mbpsnetworkcard,orawirelessnetworkcard.
Most networks use hardware devices such as hubs or switches that each cable can be connected to in order to continue
the connection between computers. A hub simply takes any data arriving through each port and forwards the data to
all other ports. A switch is more sophisticated, in that a switch can determine the destination port for a specific piece
of data. A switch minimizes network traffic overhead and speeds up the communication over a network.
Networks take some time in order to plan and implement correctly. There are many ways to configure your network.
