1. NETWORK SETUP

4. 2 types of Network Architecture
• PEER to PEER network
• Client/Server Network

5. Peer to Peer Network
• Peer-to-peer architecture (P2P architecture)
is a commonly used computer networking
architecture in which each workstation, or
node, has the same capabilities and
responsibilities.

6. Client/server architecture
• The client-server architecture refers to a system that hosts, delivers,
and manages most of the resources and services that the client
requests

7. ROUTER BASICS

8. • A router[a] is a networking
device that forwards data
packets between computer
networks.
• Is the glue that hold your
home network together. It
connects all your computers
to one another, either
through Ethernet cable or a
wireless connection.

9. • Device that connects to your router – that
is the computer, tablets, smartphones,
game system and DVRs and so on are
called – client.
• Each client on the network is given an IP Address, which helps your router
direct traffic. Client with the network get a local IP address, while your
modem gets a global IP Address. Global IP addresses are like street address
while local IP Address are like apartment numbers. These addresses make
sure the right information from the outside world gets to the right computer
on your network.

10. Different feature of routers:
• Wireless Throughput – is the speed at which a router can transfer
data. The wireless speed of your router is dependent on the wireless
standard it uses. Most common standards today are 802.11g and
802.11 N also known as wireless G and wireless N.
• Wire Throughput – speeds for wired connection: 10/100 Mbps &
10/100/1000 Mbps or “Gigabit”. 10/100 routers are cheaper, but will
not transfer data between computers as quickly as gigabit router will.
• Range – wireless router can only reach a limited area of distance.
Router’s range, like speed, is determined by the wireless standard you
use. Wireless N has a longer range thang wireless G.

11. • Number of ports: routers have two types of ports in the back. WAN
port hooks up to your modem.( it connects to the internet) while LAN
ports hook up to your computers and other clients.
• Wireless security: WPA2 encryption, WEP encryption
