This is the first video in a video series for anyone wanting to understand the devices they encounter or might need on a home network.
I try to keep the technical details to a minimum as I am aware that many viewers don't really want to be network professionals but merely to understand what is going on.
In this video we look at the different home routers types from ADSL,VDSL,Cable,Fibre and mobile.
I explain what to look for and how they connect as well as some basic features.
