Have you called your Internet provider and gotten lost in the terminology used while on the phone? What is the difference between a router and a modem and what do they do? In this introductory computer networking course, we will cover basic Internet appliances, their functions, and how they connect you to the Internet. We will also give a brief overview of what the Internet is and how information makes its way from the Internet all the way to your device.
