Your Average Home Network Setup

The typical home network setup usually involves a coaxial line coming from the wall, delivering cable internet to your modem. This modem is then connected to a WiFi router, which broadcasts a local area network (LAN) throughout your home. In most cases, this setup is sufficient for everyday internet use, including browsing, streaming, and social media.

However, there's much more to a home network than just connecting to the internet. The default configurations provided by ISPs (Internet Service Providers) are designed for general use and might not be optimized for the best performance or security. This is where understanding and customizing your home network becomes crucial.
