  • Slide 1
  • Basic Network Training
  • Slide 2
  • Cable/DSL Modem The modem is the first link in the chain It is usually provided by the ISP and often has a coax cable connector.
  • Slide 3
  • Wireless Router The Router is the next link in the chain. This is the device that allows all of your local devices (computers, printers, tablets, etc.) to be able to get routed out to the internet. These devices can connect via a network cable or wirelessly.
  • Slide 4
  • Switch (optional) If needed, a switch is the next link. It is used if you have several wired devices that need to access the internet. Switches allow devices on the same network to communicate with each other You need a routing device (router or modem) if you want to get out of your local network. A router usually has a switch built into it. (The 4 ports that are labeled LAN)
  • Slide 5
  • Typical Topology

  • Slide 7
  • Network terminology IP Address Every device needs a network address so it can communicate with other devices (its like a phone number) DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol This is a protocol that allows a server to automatically provide your network devices an IP address DNS Domain Name Service This is a service that translates domain names (i.e. www.google.com) to IP addresses
  • Slide 8
  • IP Address Verify your devices IP Address
  • Slide 9
  • IP Address What does it mean??? IPv4 Address..192.168.10.123 This is your devices address (like its phone number) Subnet Mask255.255.255.0 This is used to tell us the address of our network we are on We need to be on the same network as any other local device so we can communicate with it. If a device is on my network, I can talk to it. If its not on my network, I need a ROUTER to route me to it. Gateway..192.168.10.1 This is the address of the device that gets me out of my network (most often, this is the routers LAN address).
  • Slide 10
  • Example My subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 Each place you see a 255 represents the portion of my address that MUST be the same as other devices on MY network. My address is 192.168.10.123 The device with the address 192.168.10.58 is on my network. The device with the address 192.168.1.59 is NOT on my network. My gateway address is 192.168.10.1. Thats the LAN address of my router. (Notice it is on my network.) Network Address
  • Slide 11
  • IP Address DHCP enabled.Yes This means my device is getting its address automatically (from a DHCP server). In order to be able to do that, my device must be able to communicate with the DHCP server. In most home or small business environments, the router acts as the DHCP server and gives out the IP addresses. Note: If your IP address starts with 169.254. (i.e. 169.254.100.201), that means that you have DHCP enabled but you are not communicating with a DHCP server. Therefore, you will not be able to communicate with other devices.
  • Slide 12
  • Router addresses A router will almost always have 2 addresses. The address we have seen (192.168.10.1) is the internal or LAN address used for communicating with the devices inside my network. The other address is the outside or WAN address used for communicating with devices outside of my network. The WAN address is often given out by a DHCP server from your ISP. The LAN address should be static so we always know what the address will be.
  • Slide 13
  • Router Setup Lets look at some common router settings you may need to configure
  • Slide 14
  • Router Setup In a browser window, type the address of your router The default is often 192.168.1.1 (depending on your router). Other IP addresses often used are 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.10.1 Note: You can usually find this address by typing ipconfig at a command prompt and using the gateway address listed if you are connected to the network

  • Next you will be asked for the log in credentials For TP Link brand routers, the default username is admin and the default password is admin. For Linksys brand routers, the default username is often left blank with a password of admin A simple Google search can give you this information for specific brands and models. Portforward.com is a helpful website for this
