Computers are immensely useful tools that continue to change the world we live in. Arguably, they would be far less useful without the marvels that are computer networking and wireless technologies. In this course, explore concepts surrounding networking and wireless technologies, including the basics of networking and Internet protocols. Next, learn about the common protocols used every day for browsing the Internet and sending emails. Finally, examine networking devices, firewalls, and wireless technologies, as well as considerations for wireless quality and wireless best practices. This course helps prepare learners for the CompTIA IT Fundamentals (ITF+) certification exam, FC0-U61.
