Course Description
In this course, you will learn about common networking issues that can happen with wired desktops. You will learn about IP subnetting and how it can impact connectivity with other devices. Because of subnetting, we will be discussing routing as well—you will also learn what causes intermittent connectivity, whether it’s a physical problem or a logical one.
We’ll go on to identify and test for other connectivity problems. You’ll learn how to utilize speed tests to determine when if network is running slowly, along with what circumstances might be causing it. We will also discuss what can cause intermittent network connectivity and how to resolve it. All these will increase your confidence in identifying any issues your desktop might have.
What You'll Learn
- Determine internet speeds and identify when a network is running slowly using speed tests
- Identify the types of intermittent connectivity and what causes them
- Address speed issues on a desktop PC and the circumstances that might cause them
- Diagnose IP subnetting and how it impacts connectivity with other devices
- Distinguish whether a connectivity problem is physical or logical
- Identify and test for other connectivity problems on wired desktops
Key Takeaways
- Common networking issues with wired desktops can stem from either physical or logical problems.
- IP subnetting affects connectivity with other devices, which makes routing relevant to troubleshooting.
- Speed tests help determine when a network is running slowly and what circumstances might be causing it.
- Intermittent network connectivity has identifiable causes that can be resolved.
- Learning to identify desktop connectivity issues increases confidence in diagnosing problems.
