NETWORK FUNCTIONS AND SPECIFICATIONS
Quarter 3, Week 5 & 6

I. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT/ PANIMULANG KONSEPTO

Although setting up a home network is not necessarily an expensive


or difficult project, you just need to have few basic pieces of hardware to
connect your computers, printers, gaming consoles, and assorted gadgets to
each other — and to the Internet.

NETWORKING HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

DSL or Cable Modem - A DSL or cable modem connects your


computer to a high-speed DSL or cable Internet connection.
Although dial-up modems are still available for slower dial-up
Internet connections, the connection speeds are far too slow for a
home network.

Wired or wireless router - A wired or wireless router connects your


DSL or cable modem to your home network. Many DSL/cable
modems now have built-in routers that allow you to connect your
network directly to your Internet connection.

Wired or wireless network adapters - A wired or wireless network


adapter is the device in your computer (or printers, gaming
consoles, and other networking equipment) that connects your
computer to your network.

Ethernet cabling - Ethernet cabling is used to connect your wired


network adapters to a router or network switch. Even if you are
using a wireless router, you will need at least one Ethernet cable to
connect your wireless router to your DSL or cable modem.

The next lesson will guide you on how to setup these


connections.

Router Basics

Your router is the glue that holds your home network together.
It connects all your computers to one another, either through
Ethernet cables or a wireless connection. A router is different than
a modem: your modem connects you to the internet, while your
router connects your computers to one another. When you hook up
your router to the modem, however, you are then able to share that
internet connection with all of the computers on your network.
Sometimes modems come with built-in routers.

Devices that connect to your router—that is, the computers,


tablets, smartphones, DVRs, game systems, and so on—are called
clients. Each client on the network is given an IP address, which
helps your router direct traffic. Clients within the network get a
local IP address, while your modem gets a global IP address. Global
IP addresses are like street addresses, while local IP addresses are
like apartment numbers: one lets you find the building in relation
to the rest of the world, while the other lets you find the specific
location within the complex. These addresses make sure the right

information from the outside world gets to the right computer on
your network.

Routers have a number of different features, so we'll go through


some of the most common router specs and how they affect your
home network.

Most people have a mix of wired and wireless devices on their


network, so most of the discussion will focused on wireless routers.
Since wireless routers allow for both wired and wireless
connections, you can wire up when necessary, and connect over
Wi-Fi everywhere else.

Wireless Throughput

Throughput is the speed at


which a router can transfer data.
The transfer speed of your
wireless connection is dependent
on the wireless standard it uses.
The most common standards
today are 802.11g and 802.11n
(also known as "wireless G" and
"wireless N", respectively).
Wireless N is faster than wireless G, though routers that support
wireless N are also more expensive. Most new devices—like
smartphones and laptops—support the faster wireless N.

Wired Throughput

The wired half of your router will come in one of two speeds:
10/100 Mbps and 10/100/1000 Mbps (also known as "gigabit").
10/100 routers are cheaper, but will not transfer data between
computers as quickly as gigabit routers will. If you are only using
your router to connect to the internet, 10/100 is fine, since your
internet connection is probably slower than 100Mbps, meaning you
will not be able to actually take advantage of the router's full speed.
If you are transferring data between computers, however, you may
want to go with a gigabit router, since it will transfer that data
much faster than a 10/100 model.

Range

Wireless routers can only reach a limited area of distance. If you


have a big house and have the router on one side, you might not be
able to access the network from the other side of the house. Your
range, like your speed, is determined by the wireless standard you
use. Wireless N has a longer range than wireless G, so if range is
important you will want to use wireless N.

That said, there are many other ways to connect to your
network from afar. Wireless extenders (also called wireless
repeaters) are products you can buy that do exactly what the
manuals say to extend your network further. Alternatively, you can
buy a powerline adapter, which lets you use your home's electrical
wiring to hook a distant device up to your router with an Ethernet
cable (and thus get a faster connection than wireless would allow
for).

Number of Ports

Routers have two types of


ports in the back: LAN ports
and WAN ports. Your WAN port
hooks up to your modem
(which, again, is what connects
to the internet), while the LAN
ports hook up to your
computers and other clients.
Most routers have one WAN
port, but you will need as many LAN ports as the wired devices you
have. If you have more wired devices than can fit on a router, you
can plug them all in using a wired switch. A switch is like a power
strip for your router: it lets you plug in more devices than the
router originally allowed.

Wireless Security

Unless you do not mind strangers eating


your bandwidth and potentially accessing
your networked files, you should always
protect your wireless network with a
password. WPA2 is currently the most
secure type of wireless encryption, so make sure you use WPA2 if
you can. Some old wireless devices do not support WPA, in which
case you will have to use the less secure WEP instead. Basically,
every device made in the last four years supports WPA2 encryption.

Directions: Draw on a short bond paper, layout plan of a computer


café connected to a network. Label the parts, your work will be rated
according to the rubric.

D. Let Us Remember/ Tandaan Mo.

In a network, computers and other devices are connected to


share resources. Network connections vary in many ways depending
on the setup the user would want to, availability of the network
devices and the location or map area of links.

E. Let Us Practice More/ Gawin Mo.


Directions: Make a market study on network hardware equipment, its
brand, functionality, and costs. You can also ask a computer vendor
of the price lists and inquire of its specifications.
