What is this course?

This course is for students with a basic understanding of computer hardware and
software, and who are already familiar with personal computers. It begins with
teaching the fundamentals of networking, Ethernet, as well as Wi-Fi technologies.
From the fundamentals, the course moves into the planning, design, and
deployment of simple LANs and covers the most common ways to connect a LAN
to the Internet (Mobile Internet, ADSL, Fiber) and how to set up the connections.
In addition, the course will present the most common maintenance issues as well
as how to solve those issues. The course will have theoretical and practical
components.

The course will not include the planning, design and deploying of LANs that
require other advanced equipment or concepts.
