Understanding Internet
connections
Workshop 1
Check characteristics and quality of an
available Internet connection
What is the Interface to Internet?
How fast is it and what is the bandwidth?
How much does it cost?
Is the announced bandwidth respected?
What are the IP addresses used?
Proximus solution
ADSL or VDSL model + router = B-BOX
Scarlet solution
Telenet & VOO solution
Used COAX cable (TV + digital + …)
Modem/Router with phone lines
VUB solution
SPEEDTEST.NET
Workshop 2
Use a home WiFi router
Configuring the router with SSID, DHCP
range, Firewall rules, DHCP IP window,
WiFi channel, …
Home network
Initial configuration
Use WIRE to LAN port!!
Modem or RMA net
Initial screen example
Intial IP address will be something like
192.168.x.y
x = 0 or 1 or 2
Change x to
something else
NO modem in router!
Connect to
whatever network
Powerline solu
OK for HOME
NOK at RMA!
WiFi configuration
Standard: IEEE 802.11
Data rates are different for versions
a/b/g/n using 1 or more channels
For this course you are allowed to use 1
channel ONLY!
=> limit the bandwith!
Problem: what channel to use!

Home and room networks
Using private address range
192.168.0.0/16
Individual nets
192.168.x.0/24
x = 0 …. 255
DO NOT USE x = 0, 1, 2 = default values of
home routers
Use different x for each subnet when
connecting to VUB net
