Say what a home network is
Picture what the box in the hall is doing for everything in the house.
A home network is every device joined to the one box from your internet provider. Phones, printer, television.
It does two jobs: brings the internet in, and lets your devices reach each other.
Key points
- A home network is every device joined to the one box
- Those devices can reach each other, which is how wireless printing works
What to remember
- Devices on one network can reach each other.
- A home network is the house talking to itself.
Try this
