What are the software and hardware components that are needed with use of the internet?

Answer 1

Well, With DSL you need filters that you place on all phones, fax machines and caller id's. You need a DSL Modem and a network card, not to mention the cables to hook them up from the jack to the filter to the modem to the network card (which is usually in the computer.) If you sign on with SBC Yahoo DSL ( and just about EVERY other High speed internet company) the filters, modems network card and cables come free with a year subscription. The software comes with the bundle.

A typical internet access has:

• A cable (wired or fiber) or phone line that connects your location to an (ISP) internet service provider such as comcast, Verizon, optimum. In some areas where a connection is not available, a dish antenna can provide a wireless connection to remote ISP.
• The incoming ISP connection ends (terminates) at an interface box that converts the ISP connection to home internet or cable wiring. The box is often called a modem, dsl modem, cable modem. An ethernet wire (called CAT 5 or CAT 6) with a modular connection connects it to a router but it can also plug directly into a computer equipped with network hardware and it should work. However it would not have any of the protections of a properly configured router. Besides internet, the box may also supply phone and TV service for your location.
• Verizon FIOS does not use modems, they call it an ONT (Optical Network Interface). While others use an ethernet connection to connect to your router, the ONT uses MoCA (Multimedia over Coax Alliance), a round coax (coaxial) cable. it is meant to connect to your home cable TV wiring. A Verizon router with MoCA is required to connect into a cable TV outlet. The ONT also has an ethernet connector. You can (try to) ask the Verizon installer to configure the FIOS ONT to use its ethernet connection instead of MoCA.
• A router connects devices on your network together. It routes messages, emails, music, videos, documents, files between computers, tablets, etc. When sending to a machine not on your network the router will direct it to the ISP. A router also does other things. It can assign network addresses to devices on your network that request an address. It can block access to the network from certain machines. It can block incoming or outgoing traffic that is recognized as unauthorized, undesirable or unexpected. It can route expected traffic to your internal web or mail server. Sophisticated routers can be set to recognize and block certain types of web pages such as pornography. Devices attach to a router with ethernet cables. If it is a wireless router, it allows authorized devices to connect using WIFI based on security protocols that prevent others from using your network.

There are various types of hardware that is needed for the internet connection. Some of hardware devices may include a router, gateway, switch, hub, modem and many more.

You need all of the basic requirments of a normal computer, with the addition of a network card. Whether you get a normal network card for an ethernet cable or a wireless card depends on what kind of internet you have at your house
