Router Configuration Reflection

 Setting up the wireless router turned out to be much easier than I’d anticipated. We used both  phone and PC to access the router’s settings, which made the process simple and flexible. After connecting to the router, I just typed the default IP address into a browser and logged in with the default credentials. From there, I could easily change the Wi-Fi name, set a strong password, and adjust basic settings like security and network preferences.

Using both devices was actually really convenient—I could make changes on my phone while moving around, and use the PC for a clearer view of the settings. Overall, the whole setup was quick and straightforward, and it gave me a lot more confidence in managing my own network.

Computer Network Campus-Based Observation Reflection

 During our visit to the principal’s office building, we got an up-close look at how the network is set up. There was a Globe router/modem connecting the building to the internet, and we also saw the telephone system integrated into the network, so voice communication runs through it as well. A TP-Link router was there, too, providing wireless access for all the devices in the office. Seeing this setup made me realize just how essential these devices are in keeping everything connected and running smoothly.

This experience gave me a much better understanding of how different parts of a network work together. Each device plays a specific role—whether it’s providing internet access or enabling communication—and all these pieces are crucial to a well-functioning network. It was a really valuable, hands-on lesson in how computer networks are built and maintained, and it definitely sparked my curiosity to learn more about how they operate.
