Now that we've looked at the architecture
of the internet, let's see how you might

00:00:04,130 --> 00:00:07,535
connect your personal devices to
the internet inside your house.

3
00:00:07,535 --> 00:00:11,270
Well there are many ways to
connect to the internet, and

4
00:00:11,270 --> 00:00:13,960
most often people connect wirelessly.

5
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:17,940
Let's look at an example of how
you can connect to the internet.

6
00:00:17,940 --> 00:00:22,370
If you live in a city or a town,
you probably have a coaxial cable for

a dish outside your house, connecting

00:00:39,430 --> 00:00:41,190

12
00:00:42,350 --> 00:00:46,300
Whether a wire comes straight from
the ISP hookup outside your house, or

00:00:46,300 --> 00:00:49,270
it travels over radio
waves from your roof,

14
00:00:49,270 --> 00:00:53,760
the first stop a wire will make once

15
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,780
A modem is what connects the internet
to your network at home.

00:00:57,780 --> 00:01:00,150
