Computer Basics: Connecting to the Internet

[@conniechen3767]

I’m so grateful for your lessons. I m actually enjoying it. To be frank, my start up company bought our first PC with a loan for my secretary 40 some years ago . Buy I never used myself . I must confess even though I bought myself A Sony cell phone & laptop then & never bother learning how to really using them properly. Now during this Pandemic crisis & election uncertainties with so much unfortunate darkness around, I finally see the light that I have to be self reliant to finish my KHARMA. SO i began with the very basic first class about computer with your wonderful easy to follow lessons. Bless you all! Connie sp chen

[@amyjeon8898]

Thank you. I know about connecting to Internet when I watched it.

[@David-gj9qr]

I never learned about internet because whenever I needed to fix the internet I didn't have internet and my dad would fix it for me and then when I had internet fixing it never came to mind because I didn't need to so therefore I never learned Luckily, this time around I actually have access to data so I can look up how to set up internet in my new house and luckily I found a video that explains how the internet works and what I need to connect it perfectly and even simplifies it as well In short, I'm glad I finally have access to data when I need to set up internet because before I couldn't access videos like this because I whenever I needed to fix my internet I didn't have internet or data

[@Fantasticleman]

I just find it interesting how we have to rely on an ISP to have internet... And that it has to be either a phone cable or a TV cable. Are there dish alternatives? Is there a physical line that has to be connected from device to source in order to have internet (with the exception of WiFi)?

[@JJFlores197]

The 3 main connection types are: DSL (phone line), cable (coax cable) or fiber (fiber optic cable). There are other ways of getting internet access such as through fixed wireless where you have a cellular modem device (usually called a hotspot) that connects to a cell tower (just like a cellphone). There is satellite internet (Hughes Net, ViaSAT, Starlink) also. There are also WISP (wireless ISP) where you can get internet via a long distance wifi connection. As the name implies, the wired connections obviously require a physical connection from your home to your provider.

[@stephengoh5456]

Awesome! Love it. Thank you.

[@GCFLearnFree]

You are so welcome!

[@louisedery1049]

what is the name of the cord from the wall to the Modem or computer. The black one and where can I buy one? HELP!!!!

[@JJFlores197]

What time in the video are you referring to? If its the round cable, that's a standard coaxial cable. If its the small thin one, that is a standard phone line cable (RJ-11).

[@zolgi8841]

thanks for clear explanation!

[@GCFLearnFree]

Glad it was helpful! ;)

[@ghnsem2850]

Where does the ISP get their connection

[@JJFlores197]

They usually have peering agreements with other internet providers or buy access from internet exchange points. These are companies/organizations that sell/provide access to other networks primarily target ISPs, universities, governments, etc.

[@n310ea]

Does a cellular connection for your home still use your home's "landline"? In other words, do you still have to call a technician to your house?

[@JJFlores197]

No. A cellphone uses a cell signal that is transmitted by the carrier's tower (radio, more specifically). Your cellphone service has nothing to do with your home phone service. Those are 2 independent systems.

[@susanarodriguez9830]

Awesome video!

[@TheUnholyPosole]

How do I connect to the internet without a telephone or cable provider, if they aren't available, like in the case of a national disaster?

[@Kevin-jc1fx]

You could use the satellite then.

Can I use my cable cord for the PC or do I need a Ethernet cord

[@ahemednor5201]

very good

[@GCFLearnFree]

Thanks

[@Saramdl123]

Do I have to plug my modem into a desktop computer, or can I just plug my modem into my router? My computer doesn’t really work anymore, so I was thinking about getting rid of it. I just want to have WiFi for my tablet, phone and smart tv.

[@JJFlores197]

No PC needed. You would plug your router into the modem. The modem will only allow 1 device on the internet. So when you plug the router, it will essentially share that single connection with all of your other devices via ethernet or Wi-Fi. Most modern routers can be setup without a PC. You may need to download the router's app to set it up though.
