WHAT IS A

NETWORK
NODE?
A network node is an endpoint or redistribution point of the network, which
can receive, create, store, or send data along the network routes to other
network nodes.

NETWORK INTERFACE CONTROLLERS (NICS) REPEATER & HUB

When you connect your computer to a A repeater is a network device, which regenerates the Wi-Fi
network or depict a computer as a network signal over the same network. It receives weak or corrupt Wi-Fi
node, it isn’t the computer that functions as signals and regenerates it to the original strength. A Hub is just
a node. a repeater with multiple ports.

ROUTER MODEM

Routers are the network devices that
transfer packets of data between networks.
It forwards the packets of data between
networks by processing the routing
information included in those packets.
A modem, short for modulator-demodulator, is a network
device that helps your computer and other devices to connect
with the internet.
