Now that you have learned about networking in this class, let's design your dream network for your home computers and/or network devices (TIVO, iPad, Networked Blu-ray Player, XBox, PS3, Wii, etc).
First, describe what you would have on your network (computers and other network devices). Describe any specific needs that any one of those devices will have (for example, "iPad will require Wifi network"). Describe your specific network requirements.
What topology would you use?
What network media will you use?
What network equipment will you buy to set everything up? Find the equipment and price on a major online retailer (amazon, newegg, bestbuy, etc).
How confident are you that you will be able to set this up?
