I have a desktop, house phone, printer, scanner, and fax connected to a switch by ethernet.  The switch is connnected to a router.  All these devices have internet connection.  Also, A printer, computer, cellphone, and TV are connected with wifi.  I had no idea how things were sent from place to place using the internet, and finding out things travel in packages through light was surprising.  I would want other people to know what ethernet is and how it can be used.  

This is my home network. It consists of four devices. My television,laptop, my cell phone, and my Ipod. All these devices are connected through wifi. The WiFi comes from my router which for some unknown reason is located in my basement. My service provider is Verizon Fios that allows my whole household to be connected to the Internet by a coaxial cable. Throughout this whole project my eyes were opened to how i was completely wrong about how wifi works. At first i just thought my router emitted a signal(called WiFi) that gave me access to the internet. Now I know it is much more complicated than that.

My home network starts with internet coming into my home through our ISP, which is Xfinity. The internet comes in through coaxil cables into the modem-router. Through the WIFI, my PC, laptop, phone, ipad, TV, and home phone are connected. What I learned that was new to me was how all of these parts work together to create a functioning home system. To people with a home network, I would definitely recommend getting to know how it works. You don't have to know the specific implications of everything, because that's what technicians are for. I would just say to take a look at how each of the pieces work because it's useful information so when people ask you, you don't just stand there drooling! Aside from that highly unlikely scenario, knowing your home's system is actually quite important. Below, you can see a model of mine:

My network company and internet service provider is Comcast. My internet is wireless and I have a modem. The modem is connected to my house and through my wall to the cable boxes in my house. I plug up the modem and then my wifi is connected. It shows up as Home-5D42 and needs a password or network key to access the internet. All my gadgets are setup to my internet service. I have my laptop, Imac, Ipad, phones, game systems and more. While going through this process, I learned how the wires from the modem go through the wall and into the back of my cable box. It's was interesting how they did it. If I had something to tell another is the significance of network provider or company. Make sure you pick a good company that will run your internet. With good speed and the ability to even work when it is connected to different sources.

     The devices that are connected to my internet connection is my iPod touch, Samsung tablet, 7 laptop including mine, and 6 iPhone. I learned that you need a modern and router to access the internet. Without them, we wouldn't be in the internet right now. I also learned that you need a coaxial cable to sent the information through the modern and router. Using a coaxial cable give you higher frequency signal and stop other things from interfering with the external source. For the OMG moment i learned that you shouldn't post things to your friend because you don't know what they will do with it. They can upload it online without your permission and share it to others.They can embarrassed you without even knowing. I find it interesting that when you share something or post something online anyone can basically read it. To tell other people how to use a internet service provider/home network i would say that you need a internet service provider because that will be your company to get internet and you will also need a modern/router unless you got wireless. You will also need a coaxial cable to access the internet and stop thing from interfering with the cable. You can connect devices to the home network or WiFi by simply clicking to turn on the WiFi and joining your own network. After you access the WiFi you can now get on anything and search anything you want . 

My I.S.P is Comcast. It enters my house through my dining room on the first floor of my hose. It uses a Modem/Router connected by Ethernet. The desktop in the dining room is connected by Ethernet cables directly. The printer, cell phones, laptops, and other computers are connected through wireless. The home phone and game systems are connected through Wi-Fi, along with a Blu-Ray player that can access Netflix Streaming and Pandora. When I learned about this, I was surprised to learn that my printer needed Wi-fi to functio. 

My Home Network starts off with my ISP (internet service provider), which is Comcast.The internet comes in through my home from our Dining Hall from an Ethernet cable. This goes straight to my modem and router, which is separate. The two are then connected by another Ethernet cable and ultimately end by connecting to my desktop. The WiFi that is emitted then spreads through the house to connect all of the smartphones, laptops, tablets, and Smart TV's to the internet.

My L.A.N is connected to my Modem/Router in my room. It is connected to my desktop, my brother's desktop, and my mother's desktop. At this moment my internet is down because the all-in-one router and modem wifi's was horrible so when i do something while someone is watching youtube it takes a while to load. When i learned about Network or the INTERNET.
