Thank you :)
PowerCert Animated Videos thankyou for simplifying this
Honestly people like you are the reason why many people keep being interested in their courses, love you man
Best channel ever
Exactly...
6 years ago but still I am understanding most of the concepts using this channel. This is a life saver!
You can also check "branch education"
"Hubs and switches are used to create networks while Routers connect networks ".Excellent
Venkata chandini nice TL:DW
What is modem?
I read this comment while that sentence was being said in the video. Neat!
@Tahmid alpha12 Hey there? So if I understand it correctly, this is the path of data (in a case I'm using switch): Computer → Switch → Router → Modem → Internet Am I right? Would appreciate your input. Thank you! :)
@Red Ape Accurate
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!
agree, the visual aspect is extremely helpful for me!
Agreed!
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!
you guys explained this in seven minutes, and my teacher made 1 hour long power point, you guys are heroes
@@meberg6958 dddd
Please ,no one can take place of teachers
@@meberg6958 To be fair, I explained ARP messaging and it did not take an hour to explain it to my students.
You are a liar
M Eberg You need to spend some time with my Yogi at his ashram. Ommmmmm.........
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
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.
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.
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. :)
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.
You have the ability to explain complex problems in very simple ways. Also animated diagrams are awesome and support your words perfectly. Thanks
I've seen quite a few of your videos on the channel, and it's important for me to say that you are explaining simply wonderful and bright to understand, especially with the animation that seems to be invested. (And I say this as one of English is not his native language) We'll be happy to see more videos in a variety of other IT issues, even if you can also use security. rise and succeed.
Oh damn! This is one of the most beautiful explanations I have ever experienced regarding what are these routers, switches, and hub. I loved it. This is just amazing. Thanks for this video.
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!
I wish all our education systems had this level of clarity in explaining everything! Well done, sir! And thank you.
Your video makes me understand what i was looking since. you are a good teacher and i have to thank u for your video! I can say is the best video that explains the different between HUB, SWITCH and Router. Thanks a lot once again!
OMG Its unbelievable that I finally got a source that honestly has something to tell genuinely about this :)
Thanks for creating this video. It really helps me to understand the difference between Hub and Switch. I have read lots of explanation from other websites, but no one can explain so simple and clear!
What has been confusing me for the entire lecture has become clear within a few mins! Really appreciate videos!
"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.
I love the clear animations and how well the narrator explains things. 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!
@CoeusQuantitative The computer networking classes always include and must include these basics. The problem is they're usually skimmed through and done with no effort to visualize how these concepts actually work. It's also difficult for professors to be patient with concepts that are new to their students while the professors have been learning about it for years if not decades. But that's they're job and that's what they should do.
@coeusquantitative6146 man shut the fuck up with this you sound just like the fossils of a people everyone hates to have a discussion with. Because of hit in the head out of touch thinking like yours so much potential is lost where many people could had gotten passionate about these subjects. If the course its taught with the ass, not even that, not even half assed, students will not search these out of curiosity they will search it out of desperation for believing that they are inferior in thinking for not understanding "such simple basics". If the teacher doesnt teach THE BASE of a subject with the same passion or interest as the rest of the course how the hell is that supposed to translate to an unknowing barely starting student on these topics. The teacher should lay the foundation THAT S WHY THEY ARE A FUCKING TEACHER. To teach and spark the motivation for the later courses. If they arent doing that might as well stop teaching when you are leaving people in the dark on such "simple" notions just because your ass is lazy to make it an interesting introduction. Fuck off mate
jeez pal, cool your jets@@coeusquantitative6146
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.
That was the most easy and precise explanation of this particular subject. I know you have more videos but please do more. Like CCNA, Security + or even MSCA. Your vids are *awesome!*
Thank you!! I was having issues with an assignment and this explanation helped me immensely.
I love this channel! Really brings to light the ingenuity behind technology that we use every single day in such simple terms! Looking forward to more videos!
Thats the first time I watched a explanation video for school, which I didnt have to stop and replay to understand. Respect!
This topic cannot be explained in better way. You did justice to this topic. Really good.
Accidentally saw this video and after watching it, i ended up with being subscribed ! It made me feel like this is what i have been missing as far as my understanding of networking is concerned. Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you for this! I am taking an introductory course in IT and the course's explanation of this left me very confused. This video made it very simple to understand. I am looking forward to more of your content!
We watch this video in school. extremely good and easy to understand. I like how you pause, as though you are giving the viewer to take notes if they need to
Though I researched this question a lot but this video by far is the best explanation to it . thanks for posting
For a beginner like me switching careers this is perfect! Definitely appreciated
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.
amen to that
Very clear explanations. And I love the fact you used different colours to demonstrate this... it just makes even easier to understand. Cheers!
If there is more people like him, learning technical knowledge wouldn't have to be so frustrating
This is a god level explanation and animation.
Thank u so much
@@yassinmhdi1851 ?
With an appropriate speed and clearly of talking, there is nothing to be missed. Thank you a lot
Wow! I just came across this video and I am glad I did. My Professor has been explaining this for weeks and I still didn't get it. I watched this once and understand hubs, switches, and routers now! Your videos are such great help! Thank you!!!!
this was explained so well. simple and straight to the point.
I love simple explanations and I love animations. This video is perfect for me. Thank you
Words cannot describe how much I love these videos. Please never stop making them.
That was very easy to follow and understand. I’m definitely a visual learner and the graphical style used was very helpful.
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!
Watch router versus modem
You’re welcome!l
@Abott Costa Wrong.
Versus modem
Really helpful. Thanks
Bro. You made so simple to understand that even i understand it it now. That is a feat my dude. A feat.
I was struggling to understand the difference between a router and a switch and when they are used or needed. This video was much needed. Thanks!
Talk about making a concept simple to understand by anybody. The world would benefit from more educators like you. Bravo!
THANK YOU for this video! It was so clearly explained and clearly illustrated! I understood these concepts so quickly because of you explaining this.
5:20 was the only thing he got wrong. Other packets do not pass through your router not intended for your ip, there are boxes outside splitting up the incoming packets to the right ip, plus your ISP manages sending the right packages to the right place
I'm currently transitioning into I.T. from marketing and this is the explanation I have came across regarding the purpose and difference between hubs, switches and routers. Thank you.
Marketing sucks! I really hate the Business World
i assume you meant "the *best*..."
Same! I am doing MBA in business analytics and self studying to start career in CyberSec. This channel is really helping me clear out confusion.
You are not alone bro
What were your reasons for leaving marketing? Im contemplating a similar decision also
I wish you guys had been around back in the 1990's when I studied for my CNA/CNE. Trying to teach myself these concepts from books was a nightmare, but I managed to do it... Excellent job explaining...
I gotta tell you, hands down the most simple and concise video teaching this material!
This is the first time I have understood it so clearly ! Good work and thanks.
This is the best tutorial on routers,switches and hubs differences I’ve ever seen. Thanks
agreed. He simplified the terms and explained in simples how hubs, switches, and routers work in less than 8 min. Perfect!
Thank you so much for your teaching. I've tried to study these concepts from multiples sources and I just had a vague understanding, but I finally understood through your clear teaching and amazing animation. Lots of thanks to you and the animation team.
I am currently taking the Google IT Support Certification course and your explanations are not only simplified but can really turn a novice in tech into a pro.
Right? I wonder if their idea was to force us to learn to supplement their course with our own self-study. Introducing the models and layers without actually explaining what they really are was a weird choice.
i came here for my review , this coming jan 3 i have my interview for an IT support, and this helps me alot , great & clear explanation with those animation, thankyou so much powercert
Wow... awesome channel! This is one of the best explanations of this I have seen!
Thank you Cris.
"A real technical person can explain technical things to non-technical people." - Jarrod Teo Great content. Keep it up.
Unbelievably informative. Thank you for simplifying something I should have known 20 years ago.
This is by far the best video on this topic.
Yes, please don't stop making vids like this. Appreciated.
I concur
I agree
Thank you so much for helping people like me who wants to understand this. I love your videos! They are easy for me to understand. Pls keep it up!
you gave us the best explaination possible, just using words is not always enough to persuade, you used the best method with demonstrations and graphical representations. Thank you sir.
You must be very proud of yourself - you have certainly made a lot of people/students very happy! Well executed Powercert!
Finally, this thing is made clear to me, and for that, thank you !
What a crystal clear way of explanation! Hands down.
TBH, this is the most commendable explanation by far. It's simple and on point. Also, you provided a clear visual presentation.It helped a lot. Thank you so much!
FREAKING BRILLIANT! Your explanations are the simplest I've ever encountered. You are TRULY a genius!!
You have given the best lecture I have ever seen...Tq lots sir... Continue ur great job sir....
This was so clear and easy to understand. thanks for taking the time to make such a great video,
Very nice animation explaining the differences between a hub, switch and router. Thank you for preparing and posting !
I doubt many thing about IT for more than 2 decade until see this youtube VDO channel. Now it fully understand in many subject. Many thanks.
This is an amazing explanation, showing the internals of a hub (wiring and all) ..
Thank you so much for this video! Your explanations are so clear and effective! I could never understand the differencies only by listening to professors or by just reading stuff. Thank you so much! Keep up the amazing work and keep helping people around the world!!!
That was perfect! Thank you for this simple, clear, and easy explanation.
Love this channel. Explains it so easily. I have learned a lot from these videos and always share the videos here to help others when they have a hard time understanding my explanation
No one can explain like this. Thanks for sharing this information!
Wonderful explanation. Makes it so easy for a new learner to understand the concepts.
Easy to understand and straight to the point explanations. Thank you so much!! Please don't stop creating such videos. You are God sent!
Great video! This is the best explanation I have ever seen on this topic.
WOW. This was easy af to understand. Thank you!

EXCELLENT TUTORIAL, everything a tutorial should be minus everything a tutorial should not be. It's Complete, Concise, Easy to Understand and Follow with no annoying, time-wasting yakity-yak! You got right to the point and stayed on point. I love it when that happens!!!.... all too rare, though. You should do a tutorial on how to do a tutorial! Thanks for the GREAT info and the SUPERB delivery!!!
thank you very much for you given this video is clear cut picture of hub, switch and router
THANK YOU!! YOU SOLVED THE CONFUSION STUCKED IN MY HEAD FORMED BY THE TEACHER.

I can't express how much these videos help!!!!! So engaging and easy to understand omg
This video should be pinned at the top of the top of youtube recommendations!! outstanding explanation of Hubs, Switches and Routers. Thank you so much for making these concepts so easy to understand
Be great if you could do one of these showing how an ISP works. Love your work. Thanks.
EXCELLENT VIDEO - THE BEST AND MOST INFORMATIVE VIDEOS ON KZhead .... GREAT JOB SIR ...
Thank you :)
Most of this info isn't really new to me but your video really helps me understand these concepts much better. Your visual aids are very effective. Quality content.
This is most clear explanation, i ever witnessed about these. You are simply astonishing!
Omg thank you, I was wondering how the hell a switch works and this makes sense!!!
Amazing. You made this easy to understand. Great job!! Make more. No. Make lots more!!
Powercert you've done it again. When my other resources fail to illustrate how things work in a cohesive way that paints a picture at a macro level, you always clear the fog with ease.
Thank you
Thank you!! I was having issues with an assignment of Computer Network and this explanation helped me immensely.
