Unit 5 assignment

This week was pretty straightforward as the router was already set up previously and I have had some experience doing it. Luckily, the routers pretty much set themselves up these days and have good firmware. 10 years ago when I was trying to set up one at home with help from a friend things didn't just work right away out of the box. Also, you had to update firmware in order to get VPN software to work. With this router, it took me a while to locate the page that told how many connection ips were available. Each one is set up different.

which reminds me, our first broadband was sprint broadband, which I think was microwaves to and from an antenna in the Tucson mountains. We could not get a second phone line at the time because they were out in our area. No cox or quest broadband internet was available for years. We stayed with sprint until they said they had to cease to give up the frequencies to the government.

I have been able to learn from the assignments whatever form they have been in. The videos have been very helpful. Wikipedia seems to have pretty good definitions and information.

As far as how I learn, I think I am a active learner. I learn better by doing. However, I am not that good in groups, something I need to work on. Although I do like to teach others. In contrast, my wife is not that way. So even though we both have computer engineering degrees, she knows very little about our windows computer at home. I have to show her everything. She is not willing to sit down and fiddle with things until she gets it working. So I've put in all the hours to figure things out. It should be interesting now that we are headed for divorce what she is going to do when it comes to computers. She is now determined not to ask for my help with anything.
