is hardware device designed to receive, analyze and move incoming packets to another network.
ROUTER
TYPES OF ROUTER
- Wireless (Wi-Fi) router
- Brouter
- Core router
- Virtual router
repeat and strengthen incoming transmissions. They are also sometimes referred to as repeaters.
- Active hubs
TYPES OF NETWORK
- PAN (Personal Area Network)
- LAN (Local Area Network)
- MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)
- WAN (Wide Area Network)
How far can a wireless router reach
The typical range for a wireless router is about 150 feet when the connection is indoors and up to 300 feet outdoors.
Types of Hubs
- Active hubs
- Passive hubs
simply serve as a point of connectivity, without any additional capabilities.
- Passive hubs
is designed to connect multiple network devices and systems within a limited geographical distance.
Local Area Network (LAN)
is a network type that covers the network connection of an entire city or connection of a small area.
Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)
is designed to connect devices over large distances like states or between countries.
Wide Area Network (WAN)
is a network arranged within an individual person, typically within a range of 10 meters.
Personal Area Network (PAN)
refers to the mechanism of transferring of data between two devices connected over a network.
TRANSMISSION MODE
In this type of transmission mode, data can be sent only in one direction i.e. communication is unidirectional. We cannot send a message back to the sender.
SIMPLEX
data transmission means that data can be transmitted in both directions on a signal carrier, but not at the same time.
HALF DUPLEX
we can send data in both the directions as it is bidirectional at the same time in other words, data can be sent in both directions simultaneously.
FULL DUPLEX
