Tech 301: Home and Small Business Networking
A modern-day home or office simply can’t function today without the aid of a computer network. Increasingly, these networks are becoming more and more complex, even in the home. This course aims to help you not only understand your existing network (or to learn how to effectively build a new network), but it will help you to identify ways to simplify your network. Simple networks are always easier (and quicker) to troubleshoot than complex networks. We’ll also talk about best practices for when you’re ready to expand your network.
