Whatisanetwork?

Anetworkisagroupofcomputersordevicesthatcancommunicatewitheachother.A
homenetworkofmorethanonecomputerordevicealsotypicallyincludesInternet
access,whichrequiresarouter.

Atypicalhomenetworkmayincludemultiplecomputers,amediaplayer/server,a
printer,amodem,andarouter.Alargehomenetworkmayalsohaveaswitch,
additionalrouters,accesspoints,andmanyInternet‐capablemediadevicessuchasTVs,
gameconsoles,andInternetcameras.

 Modem–ConnectsacomputerorroutertotheInternetorISP(InternetService
Provider).
 Router–ConnectsmultipledevicestotheInternet.
 Switch–Connectseveralwirednetworkdevicestoyourhomenetwork.Your
routerhasabuilt‐innetworkswitch(theLANport1‐4).Ifyouhavemorewired
networkdevicesthanavailableEthernetportsonyourrouter,youwillneedan
