Alice & Jonathan are taking classes but have decided to move to the online format instead of face-to-face. Up to this point they shared a desktop system at home for document prep & used the school's lab equipment for more advanced software application requirements. They checked e-mail and did additional online activities at work. Now they wish to be able to do all these activities at home. The existing desktop system they used to share has an updated operating system and adequate memory. They have purchased two laptops & want to create a wireless network for their home.

a. Design a wireless network for Alice and Jonathan using their existing desktop & 2 laptops.

b. Describe how they could use the home network.

c. What types of hardware, software, connectivity components, etc., would be required to implement the home network?

d. Security issues will need to be considered. What are the risks to their network? What will they need to fully protect their home network?
