hou to work internet

To use the internet, you typically need a few key components and follow some basic steps. Here's a general guide on how to work with the internet:

1.     Internet Service Provider (ISP):

·        First, you need to subscribe to an Internet Service Provider (ISP). ISPs are companies that provide internet access. Common types of internet connections include DSL, cable, fiber-optic, and wireless (such as Wi-Fi and mobile data). You'll need to choose the type of connection that suits your needs and budget.

2.      Modem or Router:

·        If you have a wired connection (DSL or cable), you'll need a modem. If you have multiple devices and want to set up a wireless network, you'll also need a router. Many ISPs provide modem-router combination devices. These devices connect to your ISP and allow you to access the internet.

3. Account Setup:

• Once you've signed up with an ISP, they will provide you with the necessary information to set up your internet connection. This typically includes login credentials, such as a username and password.

4. Connect Your Device:

• If you're using a wired connection, you can connect your computer or device directly to the modem. If you're using a wireless connection, you need to connect to your Wi-Fi network. To do this, go to your device's settings, select Wi-Fi, and choose your network. Enter the network's password if required.

5. Browsing the Web:

• Once you're connected to the internet, open a web browser (such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, or Safari) and type a website's URL into the address bar, or use a search engine like Google to find information.

6. Email and Other Online Services:

• You can set up email accounts, use social media, shop online, and access a wide range of online services by creating accounts and using the appropriate websites or applications.

7. Internet Safety:

• Be aware of online safety practices. Install antivirus software and keep it up to date. Be cautious about sharing personal information online and be aware of online scams and phishing attempts.

8. Streaming and Downloading:

• You can watch videos, listen to music, and download files over the internet. Various streaming services like Netflix, YouTube, and Spotify offer entertainment content.

9. VoIP and Messaging:

• Use Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services like Skype or Zoom for voice and video calls. Messaging apps like WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger allow you to chat with friends and family.

10. Search and Learn:

• The internet is a vast resource for learning and information. You can use search engines like Google to find answers to questions, research topics, and access educational content.

Remember that your specific setup may vary depending on your location, ISP, and the devices you're using. Always follow the setup instructions provided by your ISP and refer to the user manuals for your modem or router for more detailed instructions. Additionally, be mindful of data usage if your internet plan has data limits, as streaming, downloading, and online gaming can consume significant data.

 

How Does The Internet Work?

 

When You “Google” From a Web Browser

From opening a web browser to visiting a website, it all happens with specific methods that we’re going to check in these 5 easy steps. 

Internet Working Metrics

1.  Firstly, you’ll be required to connect your system or PC with any router or modem to establish a connection. This connection is the base of the internet connection.

2.  When you open the browser and start typing something like “www.google.com”, your system will push a query command to your ISP (Internet Service Provider) that is connected with other servers that store and process data.

3.  Now, the web browser will start indexing the URL that you’ve entered and will fetch the details in numeric format (in their own language to identify the address (unique) that you’re trying to reach.

4.    Next is, now your browser will start sending the HTTP request where you’re trying to reach and sends a copy of the website on the user’s system. Note: The server will send data in the form of small packets (from the website to the browser)

5.  Once all the data (of small packets) will be received at the user’s end (PC/Laptop), the browser will start arranging all those small packets and later will form a collective file (here, the browser will gather all the small packets and rearrange them just like a puzzle) and then you’ll be able to see the contents of that website

 

 

Note: The action happens so quickly that we don’t even notice what’s actually going behind. Only, when the connection is poor, you do face difficulty in reaching or loading any website or its content.
