This is an animated video that explains the difference between a hub, switch, and a router. It explains how a router works, how a switch works and how a hub works.

  • @Fatherjohn76
    For someone starting out like myself it's so refreshing to have a clear, visual explanation of stuff like this, whilst so many other tutorials make the assumption everyone already knows this. Thanks!
  • Sat on class for an hour about router , switch and hub and my face was blank..now watched your videos of 7 minutes and you really save the time of my life..thank you
  • @Deadpool-wz2wi
    you guys explained this in seven minutes, and my teacher made 1 hour long power point, you guys are heroes
  • I'm a CS graduate, working as a Software Engineer, and I am learning these things now, after my graduation. Thank you for your comprehensive videos!
  • "A real technical person can explain technical things to non-technical people." - Jarrod Teo Great content. Keep it up.

    I'm a software dev and currently studying for network+ to widen my knowledge and your videos have been extremely helpful. Straight forward and concise - thank you brother!

    Small business owner here. I was having trouble my growing office network but thanks to this video I was able to identify the issue and resolve the problem. Thank you!
  • I've spent half year on university having computer networks classes and I didn't understand sh*t of it until I've found this video. Thanks!
  • Absolutely awesome! You know a person really knows a subject when they can explain a complicated subject in such easy terms that anyone can clearly understand it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
  • @madiathomas
    Best explanation ever. You stick to the basics and avoided going too deep. This is how any complicated concept must be taught. Focus must be on getting the basics right and spark an interest of a learner. How the hub, switch, and router does their magic wasn’t important for this video and you dud great by not discussing that. If we want to know how they do it, we can always watch other videos that explains. 7 minutes well spent. You earned a subscriber.
  • @onetirtha
    Absolutely stunning presentation. Clarity of explanation to a layman. You made networking feel way more easier and fun for me.
  • I never do this, but subscribed after only ONE video (this one). Well done. Even after taking a networking class, didn't realize the differences completely until you explained it so clearly. Keep at it.
  • @logancain
    I love this channel! I had a friend who used to help me with this kind of stuff, but he's been super busy, so I'm trying to learn about it on my own. These explanations are so clear and sequential. It's exactly what I needed.
  • @aAaAAA-ppgg
    Beautiful narration! Clear, calm voice, just the right emphasis, words easy to understand. I also appreciate the pauses. Thank you! I'm currently taking a CAD-CAM course, but we also have network classes. I can already see, that your other videos will also be at help for me. :)
  • "A picture is worth a thousand words!" Very concise explanation and presentation. Thanks for all your time and effort making and sharing. You just made me and my teenage son new subscribers.
  • @bradleyli1569
    What has been confusing me for the entire lecture has become clear within a few mins! Really appreciate videos!
  • I just want to thank to both narrator and the people who made this video together, thank you so much. It is really what I was looking for.
