learn about things that will help you in
everyday life
do you want to know the many
different ways to set up your home
internet i have all the details for you

thanks a lot now let's get to it
oh I'm there
let's talk about how we can set up your
home internet there are many different
ways and I know what can be confusing
i'm going to walk you through all the
different devices that you can use to
set it up and then you can choose which
one will be best for your situation so
let's get started first we're going to
talk about the modem to modem is pretty
much connection between your IST
internet service provider in your home
there are many different ones you can
get yourself your needs you can get one
like this where it's just a modem or you
get a combo unit that has router and
modem functions built in together so
let's talk about the connections so as
you can see here there are only a few
connection that you have to worry about
first to either an ethernet connection
which you would use an ethernet cable it
looks something like this it just looks
kind of like a big telephone cord but
it's not and you would plug this into
this Jack right here and then the other
end of that you would use that to plug
into one device maybe a laptop or
computer but if you wanted to go to
multiple devices that's when you need
that's when you're going to need a
router and we'll talk about that next
but once you have this all set up this
next someone may have this sunday not
this is more just for diagnostic
purposes so you don't really use this
and then here to collect connection
you're gonna hook this up from the
collects line that's coming out of the
wall and this should be the coax line
that's linked directly to the outside
box installed by your cable provider so
you can hook this up to just any collect
line your house you have to make sure
it's the main one and this is just a
regular coax cable you've all seen them
before you this is what you would use to
plug into the back of this as i said
before would be coming straight out of
the wall and then finally this is just
the power plug your power cord into
right here
I one thing to note if you are
installing your own modem and not having
the cable technician to install it for
you
they're going to need to know your mac
address and usually that's at the bottom
or the back of your modem and you just
give them those numbers on the back and
they can put into their system so your
modem talks with their system
next we'll talk about the router the
writers function is to give internet
either wirelessly or wired to every
device in your home i like to use the
analogy of an apartment an apartment
building has an address but each
apartment has their own apartment number
and that's what a robber does it assigns
every device in your home and apartment
number so you have your main IP address
at your home all the other different IP
addresses for all the devices in your
home and that's essentially what the
router does for you now there's many
different types of routers you can get
you can get ones that have antennas on
them like so you can get one without i
prefer ones with antennas because that's
will give you the most range you can get
the ones that have internal antennas but
it may or may not be as good depending
on the brand that you get so they may
look ugly but it will be more reliable
as you can see on the back it has a lot
of different connections so here you can
see this is where you plug in your power
and then next it has a on/off switch so
you can turn it on and off
not all of them have it but the majority
do also you have a USB option with this
you can plug in a printer but then
others is mostly used for storage you
can have your own little cloud storage
within your home
next you have the reset button for some
reason need to reset and then here is
blue one right here you always have a
single and then a couple of ethernet
ports to the side
the usual one that's a single that's the
one that you're going to connect from
that single Ethernet jack
it's in the modem you connect that into
here if you plug it into here it won't
work correctly if Jack's over here are
so you can provide a wired connection to
say a TV streaming device a printer
whatever you want and then you also have
the function of having a wireless
connection most router so today we'll
have a 2.4 and a 5g wireless signal
every device now will will support the
2.4 you may have some legacy device
device
don't support 5g but that's fine it's
not really a problem know that you have
those two options available depending on
what type of setup you have in your home
so now we'll talk about a switch and
once which does a switch will pretty
much give you extra port that you're a
router does not have so we saw before
the router only had four ports once you
use up those four ports you're kind of
out of luck
so this is where a switch comes in it
will give you more ports to share more
hard wire connections in your home
this is different from a router where I
told you you have that one point that
you have to put the the connection and
the other ones are thus pairs well with
the switch it doesn't matter you can put
the cable coming from the router and any
one of these ports and it'll work just
the same but they're very simple you
just the power on and off and then you
have your plug with these you have
lights on the front that kind of tells
you the activity they will blink when
things are plugged in and it's sending
and receiving information this is what
they call an unmanaged switch you can
get a managed switch as well which
basically if you don't know what to get
get the unmanaged switch if you like to
do a lot of tinkering and you're doing a
lot of different things where you have
to know what's going on with each one of
these ports or a lot of other advanced
features then i would get a managed
switch but no they're also more
expensive as well so free if you just
want a simple setup you just need more
ports from the back then just get a
unmanaged switch and if you don't know
the difference between the two if it
doesn't say managed it probably isn't
now let's talk about extenders and what
extenders are will give you a wireless
signal where maybe you wouldn't be able
to get with just your normal router and
how that works is say you have the
router at one end of the house and then
you want to get this other room that's
on the other end the house a wireless
connection or wired connection you can
use this and how it works is you would
just simply plug this into the wall and
normal and then you have to take an
ethernet cord plug it into here and then
the other end you would plug into a
computer laptop whatever and you have to
go into the configuration and set it up
so connect to your wireless network and
once you've done that you have a
wireless extender and what it will do is
it will extend the signal to that part
of the house
the bad part about this is
you're extending a wireless signal you
lose half of your speed so whatever
speed that you're getting from your
router cut that in half but the other
thing is if you're getting a bad
connection
you're just going to extend another bad
connection
so what you want to do is make sure this
is placed in kind of the middleman
between your router and the bad
connection
so somewhere in the middle here you
don't want to put it close to that bad
to that that area where you want because
and then you'll just be extending a bad
connection and that defeats the purpose
and then also once you're done
configuring it you can also use this
port as a hardwired connection as well
and that aspect you won't lose any on
speed
this is also an extender i just wanted
to show you the different options
this one has a touch screen so it worked
a little bit better for you
where is some of the other ones you have
to plug in and you have to configure
with the configurations and this one you
can just tap it and go to where you want
that's always a plus they also make
routers like this as well they're a
little more expensive but you don't like
going into the actual settings or say
you were somewhere where you didn't have
access to a laptop or computer to hook
up to this then you can actually just go
through the touchscreen and configure it
just like that so you have a couple
different options
next we're going to talk about mocha
media over coax Alliance and they see
what this does use your existing coax
hookups throughout your house to
transmit an internet signal which is
great because many of us already have
flex cable running throughout our homes
it's pretty basic so what you would do
you have to have two of these and how it
works is you would take the coax from
the wall the one that's going to your TV
and you plug it in here and you plug
this other one out to the TV so you can
still get a table signal to your TV but
then in one of these ports you would
hook up to your router you can use any
one of them would hook up the ethernet
cord to your router that would give it a
signal now the second one would be in a
bedroom or wherever area that you want
this hardwired connection to go and then
you would do the same thing if you still
want you to use your TV you take the
cable out of the wall put into here and
then you would put this TV out you don't
need to hook it up to a TV then this TV
out is useless and you can just plug it
straight into the cable in and at that
point
you have two connections and then now
this is active and you can just use the
ethernet ports to have a hardwired
connection to whatever you want course
you have to have power not to mention
that and then here on the front the
lights will light up to tell you that
there's activity is power they work
really well so now you have power line
and what power line does is it uses your
existing electrical wiring to transmit
internet signal and how these work are
one you have to plug it directly into
the wall
you cannot plug it into a surge
protector or an extension cord it will
mess up with the connection but once you
do that you have to plug into the wall
you plug the ethernet cord into here and
then the other end goes into your router
and then you take the second unit and
you plug that to wherever another
bedroom you want to plug that into the
wall and then you would take an ethernet
cord and then plug that into whatever
device you want to say a switch if you
want more hard wire connections or you
can just plug it into a computer or
whatever device streaming device
whatever you want a good thing about
these is you have encryption some of
them don't but the majority of them do
and the reason why i say that if you're
in your home encryption doesn't really
matter if you're an apartment building
river with a lot of electrical wiring
that's connected on someone could maybe
above you below you next to you could
get one of these as well and then they
could actually tap into your home
network you want to make sure if you in
that type of environment you have
encryption you don't really have to have
the same brand or the same speed to hook
up so you can have many different ones
connected to this i have a cycle but you
can get other brands and it would
connect to this brand as well
nine times out of ten the only downfall
about if you get one with different
speeds is whichever unit has the lowest
speed that's what all of them will have
these are really good but I consider
them a last resort because they have the
most interference on these have to be on
the same circuit they may work on
different circuit breakers but through
my experiences i haven't had any luck
you just need to make sure these are on
the same circuit in order for them to
work on the other downfall is a lot of
interference so you have something that
draws a lot of power like a blender or
anything like that if they're on the
same circuit that could affect speeds
these are last resort but everybody has
electrical wiring in our house so
they're also the most convenient
