HARDWARE & SOFTWARE
1.Hardware: the hardware is a general term for the physical part of the computers, such as wires, CPU...
2.Software: the software is the logic used by computers to process information.
3.-THE ROUTER-
A router is an electronic component inside HARDWARE that
connects electronic devices to internet (such as
computers, mobile phones, tablets...)
The most common type of routers are home and
small office routers that simply pass data, such as
web pages, email, IM, and videos between the home
computers and the Internet.
Routers take information that arrives through
your broadband ( broadband is "a high-speed, high-capacity transmission medium
that can carry signals from multiple independent network carriers.) signal via a
modem, and deliver it to your computer. The router will also choose the best router
for the data packet so that you receive the information quickly.
3.1.PARTS OF A ROUTER
3.2.ROUTER COMPANIES
''Linksys'' is probably the best company, but cost a little more, ''belkin'' is good,
''net gear'' is good, ''D-link'' is ok, for home use it doesn't really matter a whole lot,
any of them will do the job fine, some better than others.
