Answer 1

Home networks refers to the process of linking your computer or whatever device you are using to the internet as well as with the other devices of the members of your household. A home data network is capable of using both wired as well as wireless technologies.This helps you connect to the central point/switch also called a hub in other words.

In the current time as you would expect no one would go for wired ethernet cables but rather prefer using the wireless network. Your utility divices,desktops,laptops etc can get connected via the wireless technology often referred to as Wi-Fi. In order to get the access you need a router.

The ISP which is the Internet Service provider,provides you the three devices you need in a single box. These three devices are as follows:

1)Modem

2)Router

3)Wireless access point

In fact your typical router can handle a few dozens of devices that are connected through Wi-Fi.
