Topology Choice:
Star Topology
Reason for Implementation:
The star topology was chosen because of its simplicity, centralized control, and ease of
troubleshooting, which makes it suitable for residential settings.
Identified Problem:
Some areas, notably Bedroom 3, might encounter weak Wi-Fi signals due to their
distance from the router positioned in the living room. This issue could disrupt the laptop's
connectivity.
Solution or Recommendation:
Relocating the router to a more central location if feasible. Alternatively, upgrading to
high-quality routers with robust signals or integrating Wi-Fi range extenders can help alleviate
signal deficiencies in remote sections.
Additional Recommendations to Enhance Network:
Frequently monitoring the network's performance using tools provided by the router
manufacturer can expedite the resolution of any connectivity glitches. Implementing Quality of
Service (QoS) configurations on the router can prioritize crucial traffic, such as video calls,
ensuring uninterrupted service for all connected devices.
