The need for the internet is now very important. Not just for personal needs, professional needs such as companies or businesses today really need the internet. To set up internet in an office, for example, of course you need a computer network, and one of the components is the Ruijie RG-WS6108 which is a wireless router.
Before discussing about the product from Ruijie, it is important to know what is called a computer network and also what is in a computer network. Here is the full explanation!

Get to know computer networks in advance
Today’s computer network is one of the basic needs if you want to create an office that contains various kinds of computer devices that will be connected to each other. This computer network is often known as a topology. The simplest computer network topology that you may ever find is in an internet cafe.
However, what is called a computer network actually?
What is a Computer Network
So, what is meant by a computer network is a network formed by connecting two or more computers and other supporting hardware via a communication channel called a computer network. It allows computers to communicate with each other and to share commands, data, etc., including hardware and software resources.
This computer network has its own way of running a network that will not be disconnected, everything is connected to one another to make it a network.
How does a computer network work
In simple terms, the network works by sending data packets through computing devices, such as ethernet cables and routers, routers for example then interpret this data and send it to the relevant destination.
When data is sent over a network it is broken down into small pieces which are the packets, these packets go through a cable to a router, switch or server for example and the data is then sent to you there are so many ways in which a network functions it is difficult to defined in one summary.
What are the uses of computer networks
This computer network has many uses. Without this computer network, it is possible that today’s technological developments will not be as sophisticated as you feel today.
For that, here are some important uses of computer networks that you need to know about.
Operate Virtually
Being on the internet network, inhabited by people who interact, dialogue and exchange ideas, but without having to carry out physical meetings. And actually the inhabitants of cyberspace are not only humans, but also include data, information, electronic mail, ideas and even science.
And you need to know, the internet through computer networks is full of traffic of data and information that is sent and received by the people who carry it out.
Integrate on a Large Scale
Modern network services link physically distributed computer networks. This service can optimize network functions through automation and monitoring to create large-scale networks with high performance. Network services can scale up or down according to demand.
Respond Quickly to Changing Conditions
Today, many computer networks whose work is determined by software. Traffic can be routed and controlled centrally using digital interfaces. This computer network supports virtual traffic management.
Provide Data Security
Computer networks bring solutions for data security. All network solutions come with built-in security features such as encryption and access control. Third party solutions such as antivirus, firewall and antimalware software can be integrated to make the network more secure.
Existing Devices In Computer Networks
To create a computer network, there is a lot of hardware and software needed. These various hardware devices are indeed very necessary in making a professional computer network and of course guaranteed to be very safe.
The following are some of the components in a computer network that you need to know the explanation for.
servers
The first is servers. Server is a computer method that has special services in the form of data storage. The server will store various kinds of documents and provide information for users or visitors.
Routers
In short, a router is a device that communicates between the internet and devices in your home that are connected to the internet. As the name suggests, it “routes” traffic between the device and the internet.
NAS (Network Attached Storage)
There is another device called NAS. NAS is a network-attached storage device that allows storage or retrieval of data from a centralized location for authorized heterogeneous network users and clients. The NAS mode is flexible and scalable, meaning when you need additional storage, you can add it to the devices you own.
Wireless Cards
A wireless card or Wi-Fi card is a device that connects to your laptop in either a USB port or a wider card slot. These cards are generally routed to a specific Wi-Fi network, so to use them you must be within range of the wireless Internet signal dedicated to that network.
LAN Card
Some cards, such as PCMCIA cards, can be used in laptops. There are many other ways to connect a LAN card to a computer. Some cards connect via a USB port, some via a PCI port inside the computer, and some are even built into the computer. Most laptops today have integrated LAN cards for both wired and wireless networks.
USB Wi-Fi Adapter
The USB WiFi adapter replaces the computer’s built-in wireless functionality, giving you a faster and more reliable connection to available network signals through the USB port. Since most computers have at least one USB port, you can usually use them on laptops and desktops.
Modem
Next is a device called a modem. Modems turn data into signals so they can be easily sent and received over telephone lines, cable, or satellite connections.
Bridge
A bridge receives all packets and amplifies them all to the other side. Bridges are intelligent devices that allow the passage of only selective packets from them. A bridge only passes packets that are addressed from a node on one network to another node on another network.
Hubs
A network hub is a node that broadcasts data to each Ethernet-based computer or device connected to it. Hubs are less sophisticated than switches, the latter being able to isolate data transmission to specific devices.
Switches
Whereas if a switch, is a device that connects devices (such as computers, printers, wireless access points) in a network with each other, and allows them to ‘talk’ by exchanging data packets. Switches can be hardware devices that manage a physical network, as well as software-based virtual devices.
Network Cable
To connect all devices, we need a network cable. A network cable is a hardware device that is used as a network connection. More simply, a network cable can be interpreted as one of the transmission media used in computer networks so that each computer or device that is incorporated in it can communicate with each other.
Repeaters
As the name implies, the main purpose of a repeater is to “repeat”. Due to the nature of the electric current, the signal will fade in the distance, becoming unreadable at some point. The repeater takes a fading incoming signal and “fixes” it so it can travel further.
Access Points
This device is what acts as a connection portal for other devices in the network. Another definition relates to an access point as a standalone device that functions as a link between a router and a Local Area Network (LAN) to enable device connections.
CCTV
These are TV system devices in which the signal is not publicly distributed but monitored, primarily for surveillance and security purposes.
Network Video Recorder
Better known as an NVR, this is a special computer that records security surveillance video footage in digital format to a hard drive.
Let’s Discuss More Details About Routers
After all the devices on your network understand, now go into a more detailed explanation about the router. Like this router from Ruijie RG-WS6108, when you understand the meaning of function, type, and how it works, it will be very easy for you to apply it.
Routers have very important controls in a computer network, both complex and simple, which are also very reliable.
Definition of Routers
A router is a device that sends data packets via a network or the internet to their destination, via an implementation known as routing. Routing work occurs at layer 3 (Network layer such as Online Protocol) of the OSI seven-layer protocol stack.
The router has a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) facility, by setting up DHCP, we can therefore share IP addresses, another facility from the router is the NAT (Network Address Translator) which can allow an IP address or internet connection to be shared with another IP address.
Router Function
Routers can be applied to connect many small networks to a larger network, which is called an internetwork, or to divide a large network into several subnetworks to increase performance and also simplify management.
Routers are also sometimes used to connect two networks that use different media (just like a wireless router, which in general except that it can connect computers using radios, it also supports connecting computers with UTP cables), or different network architectures.
How Routers Work
The typical home has a variety of internet-connected devices – personal computers, tablets, smartphones, printers, thermostats, smart TVs and more. Thanks to your router, these devices form a network. Your home router routes internet traffic in and out on that network in the fastest and most efficient way.
The information running on your home network could be email, movies, or a live feed from your baby’s camera, each of which uses a varying amount of bandwidth. Ensuring that information is conveyed quickly and correctly is a big and bigger task. As you add more devices think your Internet of Things is constantly asking your router to do more.
Types of Routers
Routers have many types. you need to know, each router has its own definition, even for its application, there are different things for each type.
The following are some of the most common types of routers and many people use them.
Cable Routers
This type of router is a type that is very common even today. A wired router is connected directly to a computer via a wired connection. They usually have a port connected to the modem to communicate with the internet. Other ports or ports allow the cable router to connect to computers and other devices to distribute information.
Wireless Routers
Often known as a wireless router, a wireless router connects directly to a modem with a cable. This allows it to receive information from and send information to the internet. The router then creates and communicates with your home Wi-Fi network using its internal antennas. It provides all the devices on your home network with internet access.
Core Routers
This router or core router is a computer communication system device and network backbone, which is a device that connects all network devices. It provides multiple fast data communication interfaces. The word “core” refers to the overall physical structure of the network.
Edge Routers
The next type of router is the edge router. An edge router is a special router located at the boundary of a network that allows internal networks to connect to external networks. They are primarily used at two demarcation points: Wide Area Network (WAN) and the internet.
Based on Application
Based on its application, routers can also be divided into 3 types, including:
Application Routers
This type of router is an application that you can install on a computer operating system, so that the computer operating system can work like a router.
Hardware Routers
The second is a hardware router. A hardware router is hardware that has capabilities like a router, so with that hardware you can share IP addresses, hardware routers can be used to share internet networks in an area
PC routers
Furthermore, a PC router is a computer modified in such a way that it can be used as a router. To make a PC router, you don’t have to use a computer with high specifications.
Based on the Mechanism
When viewed from the mechanism, the router can also be divided into three parts, including the following:
Static Routers
Network administrators use static routers, or non-adaptive routers, to determine routes when there is a single route or preferred routes for traffic to reach a destination. Static routing uses a small routing table with only one entry for each destination
Dynamic Routers
In contrast, dynamic routers, sometimes called adaptive routing, are more complex than static routing because they create more possible routes for sending packets through the network. Dynamic routes are typically used in larger, seamless networks where static routers would be cumbersome to maintain and reconfigured frequently. Because dynamic routing is more complicated, it consumes more bandwidth than static routing.
Wireless Routers
A wireless router or wireless router, also known as a Wi-Fi hub, is a small electronic device provided by your internet service provider that allows you to connect to the internet.
