We talked about wireless networks today, specifically about the 802.11n signal.
We listened to about an hour webinar about the .11n signal. The 802.11nchannel size = 40mhz while 802.11b+g channel size = 22mhz + 3mhz guard band. I think they are trying to replace .11g with .11n, but as of right now I think there are to much problem/bugs that they will need to fix before .11n will take affect because I think it will be hard to make it run 420mb/s and I also think they need to try to fix all the security flaws because if there are security flaws, it will never replace hard wire till they get that just as secure as hardwire.

Today we watched a little movie on YouTube about the history of the internet. The majority of today we learned about the internet and mainly about domains and how they work. they are originally a ip address that is routed to a name domain such as example.com.
We also learned what TLD is, which is Top Level Domain and why certain TLD's are used. Some TLD's are public such as .com .net .org etc... and some are private such as .gov .edu etc..
