Routers vs. Switches vs. Access Points - And More

Is adding two switches on the same line has disadvantage?

This is so helpful! Thanks!!

still dont know the difference between a router and an access point

my mom liked this video

This helped so much to understandd, thank u u u u u

You know Linus. I always give other You tubers the benefit of the doubt .This explanation was to the point . Without any complicated Jargon that some of your subscribers would have liked you to mention . Thanks again been watching you for many years

Didnt explain the difference between a switch and router

Our Wi-Fi is just a modem with a router using a access point as a table

As someone who's just entering this networking field, this video has helped a lot. Thanks Linus!

Kids these days dont know what WAP originally stood for

Namaste

Software defined networking is replacing traditional networking models and the global software-defined networking market size was valued at USD 16.23 billion in 2021

We can learn the associated concepts

Thanks this was very helpful

Could I plug my modem into a switch and then the switch into the router?

Is a switch intelligent enough to differentiate?

Your videos are informative!

Hi, I have installed CAT 6 cable throughout my house from one central location, i wanted to know how I can make one singular wifi network from that, so that i may be able to move throughout the house without drops in connection, or having to reconnect to another network, which devices will I need to buy for that, to create a mesh like network.
Thanks so much in advance.

What is the foundation of every network ???

mediocre buy😁

맙소사. 네트워크에 관심이 많은 사람이 이렇게 많을 줄은 몰랐다. 130만 뷰어라니.

should switches always be connected to routers?

Modem receives data from the ISP over some sort of cable or voa air.
Router creates and assign IP adresses to every device in your local network.
Switches provides multiple ports and is essentially a hub but better with no congestion .
Access points is wifi that you can connect to

Back in time when Linus looked like a truck driving lesbian.

A beardless Linus is a scary thing 🤣🤣

Loved the intro, so relatable

Nowadays it’s more common to have a gateway. A gateway combines a router, modem, and access point.

Linus be speaking at 90% in this video

Please do a buying guide on wireless router antennas.
I have a wireless router in a place with poor network.
Would getting a router antenna help and which one should i choose.

Hello there
If i my isp provides me 100mbps speed, and i connect a 16 port switch to my router ,will i rcv 100mbps on all ports or it'll get divided?

doesnt explain anything confusing at least

like the Harry Potter reference at the beginning 😀

access global switchs i work

Fresh book

He makes Tech so simple

Gotta love studying for the A+ and linus coming through clutch.

So, in the last weeks WANshow linus actually said this video was unexistant 😂

I wish my professors at college could explain stuff as well as Linus does. I'm getting this content for practically free meanwhile I'm paying thousands of dollars for lesser quality stuff....

So, let's suppose I have a router that can deliver gigabit ethernet with multiple ports as well as wireless, is there point in getting a dedicated switch?

I don't need more ports, but if I got a switch, then that could connect to the modem, and a the router could connect to the switch. I would also connect wired devices to the switch, bypassing the router. Would there be any performance advantage to doing that because the router could be bottlenecking the signal from the modem? Would that even make sense?

Would it need to be a managed switch?

WAP : Wireless Access Point XD

Huh, that's funny, Linus said he had never covered Switches before on the 2021-08-27 WAN Show at the end during Superchats. But here he is, explaining it, in a Fast As Possible. To be fair though, you can only remember so much stuff before you just forget things.

I'm a big switch fan

So I got a pulse way ad with Linus and ended up just watching the whole thing.

wrrr

is a switch a network interface? does it have a nic?

Mediocre buy LOL that's what I'm going to call it now

Hello, I run a business and have up to 30-40 phones on a 2.4ghz network in a close proximity. What is the best option to keep a decent speed and lower or eliminate the disconnects?

Could do with a nice tight Wireless Access Point right now. (wap)

Imma build a super size google grade, mega network in my car.
