(Windows 11) What you need to Set Up a Home and Business Network of Computers
There are several kinds of hardware used in Computer Networks, lets lists and read definitions, and different technologies along the way.
Network Interface Cards or NICs connect computers to a network so that they can communicate. NIC can be connected to the USB or Ethernet port on your computer or installed inside your computer in an available Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) expansion slot.
Network hubs and switches. Hubs and switches connect two or more computers to an Ethernet network. Its the central device that connects all the devices together. A switch costs a little more than a hub, but it's faster.
Routers and access points. Routers connect computers and networks to each other (for example, a router can connect your home network to the Internet). Routers also enable you to share a single Internet connection among several computers. Routers can be wired or wireless. You don't need to use a router for a wired network but we recommend it if you want to share an Internet connection. If you want to share an Internet connection over a wireless network, you will need a wireless router. Access points allow computers and devices to connect to a wireless network.
Network cables (Ethernet, HomePNA, and Powerline). Network cables connect computers to each other and to other related hardware, such as hubs, routers, and external network adapters. HomePNA and Powerline adapters are often external and connect to a computer with either Ethernet cables or USB cables, depending on the type of adapter.
You might decide to go with a certain technology because you already have most of the hardware, or you might decide to upgrade your hardware. A combination of technologies might work best for your environment. For example, many people use a wireless router, which accommodates both wired Ethernet connections for desktop computers and wireless connections for laptops.

Voltmeter and Analog Voltage at New Terms
Digital Signal couples up to create Analog World. What do you call that science of data gathering deep inside?
Updated and New Terms
Voltmeter - A device that displays the voltage across the test points. To work properly, connect the voltmeter in parallel with the load, attaching the probes to connectors on either side of the load you want to measure. The voltmeter can measure DC or AC voltage. DC mode measures the average value of the voltage. When set to AC, the voltmeter displays the root-mean-square (RMS) value of the signal. Mostly, the voltmeter has a very high resistance of 1 Megaohms.
Analog - At new terms, it is a digital pulse bonded together to form a really strong signal sinusoidally united. At I/O, reading and inputting continously in order for computers to analyze these data - Digital to Computer Processing to Analog output. Many samples of one bit of information that corresponds to 1 or 0 rallies together, bonded and united to create what you called Analog Signal. Applications are Amplifiers (computerized), Analog reading and Logging.

Technology and Science: Computer BIOS and Nervous System
Good Day Netopology readers, today lets read about co-related topic called BIOS and your bodys command center...
BIOS
The basic input/output system configures your motherboard at startup and boots your PC. It is stored on a flash memory chip and keeps its settings in the CMOS. It is a program built into personal computers that starts the operating system when you turn on your computer. It is also referred to as system firmware. BIOS is part of your computer's hardware and is separate from Windows.
How do I access my computer's BIOS?
Procedures vary depending on the BIOS manufacturer. Usually, you must press a key (such as F2, F12, Delete, or Esc) or a key combination immediately after you turn on your computer before Windows starts. For more information, check the information that came with your computer or go to the computer manufacturer's website.
Nervous System
It is the body system that processes information and controls the activities of the body. The central nervous system consist of brain, spinal cord, and spinal nerves which carry messages to and from the spinal cord. Nerves are bundles of fibers that carry messages between brain and other parts of the body.

v. To revolve around, or move in a circular path around an object; for example, the Moon orbits Earth.
Relay - a mechanical switch that is activated upon voltage input (3V to 33V).
From arrl.org, it is a mechanical switching devices that is actuated when sufficient current flows through the field coil, thereby causing the field-winding core to become magnetized. This action moves the pole arm to make and/or break contact with a circuit. Source
