Home Network

What/How About Our Home Network is?

 I have known of my computer classes that the Internet connection at their homes is of TOT provider. Yes, my internet service provider (ISP) is TOT too. What/how is my home network?  The modem-router is the main device of the network because it plays many roles as of the followings : -

   1) to simulate itself like a server computer

   2) to act as a hub/switch of the wired connection

   3) to be an access point sending packets of the wireless connection

   4) to play as an ADSL modem connecting Internet

   5) to be a router managing the how-to connect to other devices

Be sure, most of our home network is hybrid. One is wired while another is  wireless. Although a home network is not complex, but its system is so smart and its Internet connection is so clever with the ADSL technology. The superstar is a "modem-router", the genius device.

TP :  Unshielded Twisted Pair cables are so common in any computer rooms  of our school. The UTP cable is caped with a connector which is called RJ-45. The RJ-45 connector will be inserted into the LAN port of any Ethernet card/router/switch/hub. (The RJ-11 connector of the phone line is smaller than RJ-45).

What is ADSL? (www.wikipedia.org) : It is "Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line" technology. This is a data communications technology that enables faster data transmission over copper telephone lines than a conventional modem can provide. (Modem is a device that manages the joint communication between the phone and the computer.)
