Home Network - Ethan Chen

This is my home network and my network provider is Comcast so a coax wire brings in the internet from the outside and connected to my modem the Motorola SURFboard SB6141. Then, a ethernet cable is connected to my router, the ASUS RT-N56U Gigabit Ethernet. As you can see, most of my devices in my house is connected wirelessly. All the three laptops, phones, tablets, and one chromecast stick is connected wirelessly in my home network. My dad’s desktop is connected wirelessly too because he have a wifi adapter to connect wirelessly without using a ethernet cable. Finally, my printer is connected with a USB cable onto my dad’s desktop. What I learn about networks is that you have to be aware about what are you sharing with other like thinking twice. I learn this from the OMG book when the girl send a whole powerpoint presentation of the sexuall things she did to her friends which their friends reshare it and it leak publicly. It ruin her life and the the other boys life so it taught me to think twice. Having a home network is basically a group of devices that is all connected to the router which the internet is brings in from a coax wire or a fiber wire depending on your provider to the modem.

This network diagram is really good because I think that it is so descriptive about were every wire goes and what is connected to the wires. I notice that there was a lot of effort put into the diagram.

I notice that we have the same ISP. I wonder if your modem and router are together. What if your chromecast was connected to your phone how would you show that.
