hahaha true XD

Yeah you're absolutely right 😂😂😂😂 hahaha
And animation

As an educator, I cannot express how well set out this was.
I like how you spoke clearly and simply, making sure not to use complex or unfamiliar words when explaining. The visuals helped a lot, too.
As my education background is not from computer science related, I have been struggling with networking and I have been stressed out about this. Thanks a million to you for explaining like this. This is really helping me out. Even Udemy paid courses can't explain like you do. You are the best.
You did justice to this topic. You are not only thorough and precise but spoke slowly and stressed and repeated your point with concise examples. Let me also add; no disruption of sounds on the back ground like others do.
I understood everything you said. Thank you so much!
Thank you!
Very well said
RionsKol #facts I don’t know why people think the background noises (babies, coffee shops, dogs) is cute...it’s not. 🙄🙄🙄
Extremely well said. I have watched all his videos and im one of the regular commenters since i love his videos creations so much. I always appreciate an eloquent speaker who is intelligent and beautiful. Smiles.
Perfect explanations as well as perfect visual examples. Perfect!

I believe it’s if you can’t explain it to a child, you don’t understand it.
I believe it is: If you can’t explain it to the cat of the galaxy, the cat will combine it’s knowledge with you and will explain it to yourself. Always believe the cat. Never doubt it.

Dude you're a gem! I found your videos during my time in college. It was difficult as a computer science student but I downloaded all your videos and watched them through out school and I was better for it.
Thanks for your simple explanations.
Wow. I could actually UNDERSTAND this. The two different ways of drawing the signals, between internet and modem, and between modem and computer, made all the difference. And it was slowly clearly spoken, and just great. I’m a older person learning. Very satisfied thank you
Thank you for using language that us newbies can undersstand!
Very true, he speaks not too fast, not too slow, very articulate. Thanks
U play a lot of minecraft dont you
@@jacksopinion4611 wait, is that a problem?
@@waffles9771 nothing just people who play alot of minecraft say newbies alot
My God this was taught to us for about two semesters at school and still I was confused but after watching this video I already figured it out. Who needs school?
Yep, school is a money making business & full time day care. I didn’t learn much in school, but learnt so much through self education (through books and CZcams & google) basically studying what interests me, instead of being put into a box at school & forced to study 📖 subjects that bored me out of my mind. The social aspect of school is nice though.
@@lancebyneveldt1163 History, Geography, Art is most useless as you won't get a job, but does show creative, Maths, English, Science and IT is most useful courses
Thing is that most of us didn't stumble upon on this video...we wanted to knew about it but in school we were young and many of us pretty much not interested knowing it.... plus visuals really help to understand something and it just goes straight in the subconscious
me
@@lancebyneveldt1163 DId you learn geography, or history, or math on the internet?
I just discovered this channel, I seriously never subscribe to anyone on CZcams. But as a Cisco networking student, the way you explain precisely and carefully is just beyond amazing. The way you explain some of these topics, on top of the simplistic but effective visuals is astounding. You are doing a great job spreading the knowledge of the world of networking, keep doing what your doing man.
Practical Networking is also worth checking out. Best networking explanations on youtube
Yes

Great presentation! Good illustrations and clear description of the functional roles each element plays. But without getting lost in some of the details, which is a problem with other presentations I've seen. Like the magic of creating a subnet and translation via the OSI model...
Jesus! Why on earth i haven’t come across this channel before. This is just the kind of videos i want for my kids to watch. Very informative and easy to understand and very excellent visualisation!!! Worth spamming your channel link on my social accounts.
Thank you :)
I honestly find it interesting to watch because not only does it make me smarter, & more aware of my surroundings, but it gives me more stuff to talk about with my friends.

“... do you guys know the difference between a modem and a router?”
Modems and Routers made simple. That is the way it should be. Clear, concise explanations with NO high-level tech jargon thrown in to complicate a simple topic. Too many other speakers don't present info this way. Very good show.
Please kee making these types of concept explaining videos unlike school which just want us to learn the definition of it. You explained something that took me hours to read in book even after that I didn't understand, in just few minutes. Thankyou again
This is one of the BEST and MOST HELPFUL explanations I think I have ever come across! THANK you SO MUCH! You don't know what a life saver you are! During this pandemic when we are all forced to rely on Internet my life has been a living hell due to my tech ignorance so your video was MUCH NEEDED! Thank you again. The visuals really helped and so did all of the details, definitions and many examples and scenarios. You and this video are a BLESSING! God bless you for this. Be encouraged!
When your family calls you to fix their wifi instead of calling a technician: :/
edit: oml I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but the fact that they think I'm smart enough to fix the wifi, its nice but i'm not that smart lmao
You should be proud for being helpful especially for your familes
So you're telling me that if you have a son/daughter that could fix your wifi for free, you rather call in a technician? The type of person you are -_-
@@ericpratt984 thing is I have no idea how to
LOL same here
Eric Pratt Yeah we dont know anymore than YALL old asses we actually did the research unlike YALL who says fuckit I GIVE UP nothing can help ( lemme go on my phone pass youtube and go straight to contacts and annoy slash complain to my kids) yeah yall are intellectuals all right
One of the most lucid explanations I have seen, and thankfully without music, which is a big help to those of us with hearing loss. Additionally, you did NOT see a "need" to show us a picture in picture with yourself in it. I cannot imagine why anyone could dislike this presentation. I am a subscriber after only one video.
All You Tube explainers ought to watch this video so that they can learn how to simply and effectively present their material. This is an excellent example of how it should be done.
Than they would have to do more work an we all know they just be wanting ez quick money (not all but majority)
Your videos are top-notch for understanding networking concepts. Thank you so much.
The only legit channel to learn stuff about everything tech.
Well, there's the Nostalgia Nerd, & Lazy Game Reviews as well.
This video is, without a doubt, the easiest explanation of a rather complex problem I've ever viewed. Nicely done. Thank you.

I’m not going to lie, when I watch a tutorial video I generally not by nature can’t understand or fully grasp the meaning of said tutorial, but with your video it was so precise and accurately explained in a way which I understood clearly! Thank you very much sir👍
Your video from 5 years ago was better at explaining this than any source I could find. Thank you so much!
Really fantastic resource! I'm studying for an IT exam and this is SUPER helpful! Thanks so much
I always wondered what this was and honestly, nobody could give me an easy explanation. I now know what the hell the difference is. THANK YOU!
Thank you so much for this I have just been lazy for years not needing to know the difference. I was married to a computer guy and now I'm not and I'm finally learning. Thank you so much this was extremely clear to me. If there's any haters out there just ignore them. You're the bomb!
Why in the earth I haven't watch this before? We studied this for a semester but I didn't understood anything but now, in just minutes, I feel like I'm very knowledgeable enough. This is so informative. Very easy to understand. Very good🤗👍.
Thank you for this really well produced video. It was clear & easy to understand. Just what I needed. Wish more CZcams videos were this well made !!
Please make more videos like this. I love the way you portrayed everything. It makes me easy to understand everything
This channel is simply the best in its kind. The voice is very clear and easy for non native english speakers.
My God! Every single video you make is top notch quality. Easy to follow, clear and precise with perfect amount of information for anyone to understand. And animations just elevate all of this. Your videos helped me a lot. Keep it going!
What a comprehensive analysis of the difference between the two. I always thought they were the same! Thanks for explaining it in clear, concise terms they the lay person can understand. Thanks again!
Hey man because of you I passed my CompTIA A+ and Network+ thanks, you deserve a lot of recognition!!!!
Wow. Congrats!
strange to see joeys father somewhere other than joeys channel.
PowerCert Animated Videos Thank you!!!
can you give a brother some help with materials and advices how to pass those two?
Damir Poky for materials i used Pearson practice questions (801-802) and i watched powercerts videos, and advice wise make notes as you're watching the video and feel free to rewind the video if you don't understand. Good luck.
Thank You for clarifying the difference between a router and a modem. Your excellent presentation makes it easy to understand.
Great job explained so well. I'm not computer savvy but I'm confident I made the right choice with your help. Thank you so much!!!!
It's crazy how I didn't know almost all this, although I had courses in college about it... Never to late to learn.
Thank you, It was very clear. I subscribe 👍
This is more interactive using simple wording and PowerPoint slides rather than a book that's full of words
You people must have had some really terrible schools.

I love old people
Thanks alot for your videos, im currently doing my computer scientist apprenticeship and your videos add a great deal to the information we learn at the school.
doing a network engineering apprenticeship and feel the same!

I already had a general idea of how it worked, but now it is crystal clear. Thanks!
I should've seen this video ages ago
This topic comes for 2 pages in my school textbook which I have read over 10 times and each time leaving me more confused than the previous
I saw this video once and the explanation is soooooooo clear and easy to understand
It feels like this explanation is etched in my brain now
Thank you.
I am learning so much from this dude.I might donate all my earnings to him.Proud of this guy
That was the best explanation anyone could have given! I sincerely hope you have given serious thought to a career in teaching, on some way/level. Maybe even a textbook/tutorial writer in multiple mediums.
I actually love these videos! You make the topics so much easier to understand.
Got a job this summer at Best Buy and I'm trying to do research so that I can better help customers with their needs. Super helpful, thanks a bunch.
Thanks very much I live in my grandmas house and she doesn’t really understand this stuff, so you really helped me a lot on how to use a modem and router
A modern day router is basically a modem and router, I have one from my ISP works great give 200mbs most times
You mean you don’t understand it either otherwise you would have explained it to your grandma 👵 😂
....now just don't turn around and act like a "smart aleck" to Grandma or begin to show off new info by...".OH, that's easy"!!!
Lmao he gon show off i promise you 🤣
I'm a 4th year ICT student and i've never heard something be explained so simply and straight forward before.
Very well explained!
I was never sure about the functions of these devices until this video made it easy to understand!
Bro this is the greatest and easy understanding of how a modem and router works. because I never understood where exactly the internet was coming from. thank you 💜
For the very first time in my 30 yrs of life, I now know what the difference between a router and modem is all thanks to this video. Thank you so much for your explanation and visual graphics that makes it so easy to understand! ❤️👍👏
@Vera 😂
@Vera Don't feel bad, you're not the only "dumb" person when it comes to tech. With work at home, I now have two devices that I need to connect to the internet via a corded ethernet connection. My work laptop, and my personal computer. I connected an ethernet switch to my modem, and connected the laptop and PC to the switch. I could not figure out why only one computer would connect to the internet at a time. I thought the switch was faulty. I called my cable company, and the tech guy who answered the phone told me that I need a router, one with multiple ethernet jacks on the back. Previously, I thought that you use a router if you want wifi, and you use a switch if you want a corded ethernet connection.
@Vera Hi Vera! Yep, I got my problem figured out. I'm buying a router, one without wifi capabilities. So, I'll be able to connect both my work and my personal computer to the internet at the same time. No, I'm not surfing the internet while working LOL! We're supposed to leave out work computer on through the evenings, because that's when security updates are pushed. Anyway, I'm definitely no computer nerd, I know just enough to get by.🤣
I love your videos. Getting ready to take my network + exam 10-006. I always watch your videos as a way to simplify complex issues.
Thanks for sharing! I’m trying to set up some wired internet in my home without renting anything from Comcast. This is very helpful in understanding why I need a router AND a modem!
let me be honest with you, this is farthest the best video i have ever seen on this topic covering all hub, switch, router, modem. keep this work in continuation. u have everyone's blessings who have learned from u.
Excellent video!
Modem, router, switch and access point explained in just 7 minutes.
Where is the router....we have a modem on the shelf....
I agree best explanation ever. Man you are good. Clear precise and you repeat to make sure we understand I think this guy was a teacher but a good one thank you very much again
Thanks.
Animated videos are so helpful in understanding and visualizing concepts clearly. I wish there was more of it in school teaching. Thanks for the video

Education begins when you leave school
Harsh but reality
Absolutely true 😂
Yes. Very true. Since what you really need is often spontaneous. I'm glad the internet exist

Thanks alot for this man! I used to think modems were routers. Please make more basic videos like these!
Thank you so much for explaining it! Me and my roomate were so confused ab this and didn't know what we needed to get 😅
My roommate and I!
Thank God, I have had training in classes from comcast to ATT to Spectrum to Time Warner to Verizon and the instructors were so confused in explaining this that many people could not wait to get their first 2 week check for employment and then quit the job. They made it so complicated for new employees 60% of new hires never finished training. You have done it in minutes..Thank you!
Thank you :)
What a beautiful video 😭 Nobody makes videos as good as you. The explanations are perfect and clear, this FINALLY helped me understand something that should be so basic.
I'm not an IT guy, but love these vids.
You have an amazing style of teaching.
PS: you got a new subscriber
Your videos contain precious information about networking. Thanks a lot.
All I know is I need to subscribe to this man's channel whether I need to know everything he has or not. This is the clean explanation video on ANYTHING I've ever seen.. (my goodness) 👍🏽
this guy is so good at explaining and making educational videos. I wish he had covered all CompTIA certification courses!
Yes but we run about 10 devices on one Modem. I think he missed out on that. It helps having 80mbps broadband.
I know that animation bounce, this man literally powerpointed this to us.
I'm 20 years old and I'm learning like an old man. XD
PowerPoint presentation is what I love most!
21 and have no idea what basic internet things are 😩😂 here learning like an old lady.
@Thread Honey ok boomer..
This was incredibly helpful. Thank you!
Seriously, If someone ask me how to explain things on CZcams I would give this guy name, simply awesome!
This is probably the most helpful tech video I’ve ever seen. Thank you.
Outstanding video! Well produced (animation, story telling), very well narrated and you did an outstanding job explaining in simple terms.
you single handedly fix my 22 years of confusion between this two things.
Thanks for explaining the functions of each device in a clear and easy vocabulary to understand. I’m happy I found your channel.
you are the best computer teacher i have encountered on youtube!
you speak very plain english. you talk at a spead of 50 mph and NOT at a spead of 150 to 200 mph. it seems that today everyone wants to talk faster than anyone else as if they are in a race. now i will go and watch some of your other videos. it is very hard to find good teachers. you are one.
thank you very much.
This is the best channel on CZcams.
Thank you for this video.
Now I can explain better for my students here in Brazil.
Thank you :)

I'm from Nigeria and i can tell you this is the best channel to learn networking. He explains so well!!!!!!
Excellently presented. I was unsure of the differences, now I know! Thank you!
What an excellent educator you are! The best explanation I’ve found yet. Thanks 🙏
Thank you, I finally understand all of this! 🙏🏻 😃

You are AWESOME! I understood completely, thank you so much! ❤️
Thank you sir for teaching us better than our lecturers in University👍🏼
Excellent clarity and simple pictorial diagram clearly explains the functionality of modems and routers,good video
It was so clear and crisp, I got all my doubts cleared - Thanks a heap for making such a lovely video
I really like your videos. it has cleared many of my doubts related to networking.thanks
sir,
yr video MODEM VS ROUTER Explains very clearly how they function and the difference between them. Its animation Is praise worthy. yr explanation in the background Is very clearly audible and helps in understanding the subject. WELL DONE.

I never knew this before until now. I was totally dumbfounded with this. Thanks for your enlightenment. I’m so ecstatic that I knew now.
Great!!! Quick, simple, direct to the point!! Very good explained.
Just one thing: add also optical fiber connections to the examples...
Thank you for this most informative presentation.
Brilliant! Content on this channel is amazing. Waiting to learn more.
Thank you!
You are the best! You explained it very well in a layman's term that we can easily understand. This is a very helpful video to all. Thank you so much.
Now THIS is what all CZcams instructional videos should strive for! Thank you!
I just wasted my money on a Belkin router when I already had a DSL modem/router....
thanks for the explanation and making me feel stupid.
well atleast you'll be able to extend your wifi range XD
@@professorgibon7101 I did the same thing, I couldnt get a good wifi signal to my garage so I ran my second router to my garage now I have two different Wi-Fi connections one on each end of the house everything works great,so really it was a blessing in disguise
