WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW?

NETWORK means a system that transmit data between users, sharing of files and
exchanging.

INTERNET means interconnection of networks.

When you are at home and you need to talk to your friends, you need to use your
phone and connect to a network in order to communicate with them. But how does
networking works? What devices are needed in order to connect to the internet?

Wi-Fi is a freedom – freedom from wires. It allows you to connect to the internet from
just about anywhere – a coffee shop, a hotel room, or a conference room at work on your
own home. And to connect all over the world. It is easy to exchange information to and
fro.

Wi-Fi (WIRELESS FIDELITY)

It is a wireless networking technology that uses radio waves to provide
wireless high-speed internet and network connections. It allows electronic
gadgets such as computers, mobile phones, smart TV’s, video recorder, Bluetooth
printer and other smart gadgets. To exchange, share, upload, download
information with another electronic gadget to the same network or other networks or to
the internet.

The following are the advantages of the Wi-Fi:

1. Convenience – the wireless nature of such networks allow users to access

network resources from nearly any convenient location within their primary
networking environment
2. Mobility – with the emergence of public wireless networks, users can access the
internet even outside their normal work environment
3. Productivity – users connected to a wireless network can maintain a nearly constant
with their desired network as they move from place to place
4. Expandability – wireless networks can serve a suddenly increased number of
clients with the existing equipment.
7
Self-Learning Kit in Information and Communications Technology

The following are the disadvantages of the Wi-Fi:

1. Security – To combat this consideration, wireless networks may choose to utilize

some of the various encryption technologies available.
2. Range - While sufficient for a larger typical home, it will be insufficient in a larger
structure.
3. Speed – The speed of most wireless networks (typically 1-54 Mbps) is far slower than
even the slowest common wired networks (100Mbps up to several Gbps).

Wi-Fi is the wireless technology that all internet-enabled devise use to get online
without messing around with cables.

CLIENT - A desktop computer, laptop, smartphones or tablet as well as any other

electronic devices that sends or receives data from a server. It is the user that
connects to a server within a network.

END USER PREFERENCE – The end user is the person who uses the software or
hardware after it has been fully developed, marketed
and installed. It is how they understands certain
software and electronic gadgets on how to use it.

ROUTER

STEPS IN CONFIGURING THE ROUTER

First Step :
TIPS to remember :
Use your web browser to
navigate to one of the router’s
address.
Often you can type; dlinkrouter or
http://dlinkrouter into your browser
as an address, but you can also try
http://dlinkrouter.local

192.168.1.1

Third Step : User Name : Admin

Password : Admin

Fourth Step : Set up

TIPS to remember :
Connect the included power adapter
to a wall socket and your router/ap/
repeater.
Connect the Ethernet cable to the
internet port of both your modem
and router, connecting the two.
Give it a moment to start up with a
light indication.
Head to your computer or mobile
device.
Look in your network preferences
and connect to the Wi-Fi Name (SSID)
found on the provided Wireless
Configuration Card and enter in the
password listed on the card (for ap, you
will create your own password).

ACCESS POINT
This is a base station in a wireless LAN. Although there are other wireless
technologies that use access points, the term generally refers to a Wi-Fi network. Access
Points (AP) can be stand-alone devices that plug into a router or switch; however, access
point functionality is also built into a wireless router, which is widely used
in most homes and small offices.

Access Point connects users to other users within the network and also can serve as
the point of interconnection between the WLAN and a fixed wire network. Each access
point serves multiple users and as people move beyond the range of one access point,
they are automatically handed over to the next one.

The DAP (D Link Access Point) can be configured to operate in seven different
modes as needed. The Access Point mode allows the device to act as a central hub for
wireless users. The wireless Client mode is available to enable the DAP to connect to another
Access Point.

The steps in configuring the Access Point is as the same as configuring the router.

First Step is to locate its IP address in the back.

TIPS to remember :

Use your web browser to

navigate to one of the router’s
address.

Often you can type; dlink

router or http://dlinkrouter
into your browser as an
address, but you can also try
http://dlinkrouter.local

As you type the IP address of the AP, this will show on the screen:

Unlike the router, the password here is not
available by default, you will create your own
password.
Second Step : The steps here are all the same in
router the only difference is the default IP of
both devices but the rest are as is as of each
other.
TIPS to remember :
If your router or access point or
repeater has been configured
previously, you will need to
reset it to go through the setup.
To reset your device to
default settings, press and hold the reset
button on the back of the router for 10
seconds and
release.
The lights on the front of the
router should all flash and reboot.

TIPS to remember :
If your router or access point or
repeater has beed configured

REPEATER
It connects two or more cable and retransmits any incoming signal to all other
Ethernet, cable wires. When a repeater retransmit a signal along more than one
additional cable segments – (or the electronic medium to transfer the signals)
called multiport repeater. For instance, one repeater may have ports for two to eight
additional cable segments.

The primary advantage of using a wireless repeater is that it can improve wireless
signal strength without having to move a computer or router. The further a computer is from
the wireless router it connects to, the weaker its wireless signal will tend to be.

Repeater extends the range of your Wi-Fi network to hard to reach areas inside or
around your home where you can’t get a Wi-Fi signal. It also delivers Wi-Fi speeds up to
300mbps. Here are the steps for repeater

Step 1: Select the Wireless Mode upong selecting the Wireless Mode select the Repeater
Mode.

Step 2: Plug in the extender . Step 3: Initiate the Wireless Setup.

Self-Learning Kit in Information and Communications Technology
Networks are more than communications cable, radio waves and interfaces.

They are shaped into a functional topology by a rich variety of network transmission
equipment. Without specialized transmission equipment, LANs would be limited to just a
few nodes, and WANs would be virtually nonexistent. Network transmission devices are
often hidden in wiring closets or in computer machine rooms, but they perform a vital role
in making sure that the e-mail goes to the right place, that a critical database can be
accessed from another office or that a file is successfully transmitted into another country.
Computer networks touch our lives in ways that sometimes mundane
sometimes dramatic. Every day they enable us to exchange e-mail, learn
about the latest news download software and participate in electronic
commerce. More dramatically, they are used to locate organs for surgery, provide
information on road conditions during storms and immediately transport vital documents.

As we go through our everyday lives, gadgets such as smart phones, laptops, desktop
computers, smart TVs, and any other gadgets make our life easier and comfortable. These
gadgets are enhancing as they are used to communicate with other in the same area or
different area. Networking is vital to our communication as it is used to exchange informa-
tion thru other networks or to the internet. The internet is one of the greatest creations
and gives everyone in the world with instant access to an endless supply of knowledge and
entertainment. The internet is the perfect place to work with other people from around the
world. There are dozens of online services that allow you to work with other people and with
the ability to have instant communication, it can even produce new products and services
faster.
