421:'"The Cloud" has successfully abstracted away even the most simple of network infrastructure concepts from the average home user. It makes more sense for people without interest or experience in IT to migrate their assets to "The Cloud".' I could not disagree with this comment more. Perhaps a simplw reword to something like, 'People without interest or experience in IT may find it useful to place their sssets on "The Cloud."' Th eproblem with the original is that it's both an endorsement and encouragement for people to place their assets on the cloud. It may well be argued that it is convenient, but that, frankly is one of the few bonuses of the cloud. There are a large numbe rof downsides, particularly in the areas of security and privacy. See, for instance, Googles recent public statement that users of Gooogle Mail have no implicit right and should have no expectation of privacy in their e-mail communications because they are using Google's servers. The Cloud shouldn't be endorsed, merely described for informational purposes.

meaning in mobile networking (mobile IP), namely the network and address space of a mobile device when connected to its primary, assigned address space of record for identification. The use of the term in residential networking is similar in concept without the notion of an address space assigned temporarily when the device is not in its home network. Unfortunately, people are careless in naming, because not all residential networks are home networks. Furthermore, nothing distinguishes a "home network" per this article from many networks in small offices or businesses. In style and manner this article is really a B.S. article.

Text presumes the universe of infrastructure devices is contained within modems. I have neither DSL nor a cable modem as the infastructure device in my home. I get a direct ethernet connection out of my
Verizon fiber box. Yes, ethernet, not cable that then goes through a cable modem. One might argue

Walmart. What do you do if you have more computers than ports on your router? BTW, you're spot-on about "why home networking?" There are LANs and WANs. The IEEE disbanded the MAN committee because the concept never caught on. A PAN is just a very small LAN. A CAN is just a big LAN
499:
Yes. The term "home network" is vague anyways. Is it a network where people are "at home" or where they may reside? This article seems to focus on only one use, namely that of residential networks, which would be the better term for this article. The term "home network" has a primary technical

i have to do assignment. this is the question. Using the 802.11 LAN technologies,design a home network for your home. list the specific product models in your home network along with their cost. in your report,list the devices used along together with the model of devices and the cost

Isn't an
Ethernet hub a rather odd piece of equipment to find in a home network? Don't almost all home Ethernets consist of a router with approximately four ports for computers plus one for the Internet connection, and no other boxes for hubs, switches or any other Ethernet equpment?
430:
there is a fiber-ethernet converter in the FiOS box than can be considered a modem, but it's not in my house and it's certainly not DSL or cable modem. There are other, though admittedly rare, options as well. I think the text should be more generalized.
298:
Shouldn't it be a Switch? I really don't think hubs are used in home networking. BTW Why home networking ?? This is more or less useless as it is just a LAN. It doesnt matter if its located in a home or an office, its still just a LAN.
468:. Should they be distinguished and integrated into this article? When I looked up 'home area network' I started to think that the meters were using the home networks which I had set up, which startled and alarmed me. --

This article discusses general aspects of networking in the home, i.e. residential networking, and should be renamed to home networking The term home network is better known in association with mobile networks.
