What is Wired Networks?

A wired network is a method that with wires & cablesCoaxial cable, special grades of
twisted pair wires, phone lines or Fiber optic cable and network adapters connect the device called
modem.

How it Works?

There is two gerneral ways to connect wired network. dial-up and DSLWired Networks - The ITGS Wiki at BHS

Dial-up
Dial-up Internet access is a form of internet access telephone lines. The user's computer or router uses an attached modem connected to a telephone line to
dial into an internet service provider's (ISP) node to establish a modem to modem link, which is then used to route internet protocol packets between the user's equipment and hosts on the internet, there for dial-up requires time to establish a usable telephone connection. however, this method of connection is very slow, and telephone will not function if the internet is on.


DSL
DSL is a family of technologies that provides digital data transmission over the wires of a local telephone network. DSL can be used at the same time and on the same telephone line with regular telephone, as it uses high frequency bands, while regular telephone uses low frequency. DSL typically works by dividing the f requencies used in a single phone-line into two primary "bands" and the user typically installs a DSL filter on each phone outlet. This filters out the high frequencies from the phone line so that the phone sends or receives
only the lower frequencies, and the user hears only the human voice.
The DSL modem and the normal telephone equipment can be used
simultaneously on the line without interference from each other provided that
filters are used for all voice devices.

Advantages
  1. Provide more security
  2. Provides the ability to move large amounts of data quickly
  3. Faster then wireless networks
  4. Typically more affordable then wireless networks
  5. Superior Performance
Disadvantages
  1. Time-consuming and difficult to run cables under the floor or through walls
  2. Especially when computers sit in different rooms
  3. Loose cables likely remain the single most common and annoying source of failure in a wired network
  4. Wired LANs utilizing hubs can suffer performance slowdown if computers heavily utilize the network simultaneously
  5. Wired Ethernet hubs and switches do not support firewalls
  6. Limited Mobility
