So I just started watching Eli The Computer Guy's videos on networking and I really like them so far(only on the introduction so far though), but I was a bit confused about some of the stuff and I thought to myself that some of this might be obsolote or not so much in use these days/different. So here are some questions(now bear with me, I'm still a noob to the whole topic of networking):

-Are Eli's videos on networking obsolete(besides the speeds that he talks about), what you recommend some other tutorial, if so which one?

-Is a switch necessary for a small network?

-Do we still connect routers to modems or do we just use what we refer to as a router(a mix between a router and a modem -> gateway/gateway router)?

-Can you connect an ethernet cable to your router/gateway?

-So according to Eli if you have multiple routers they make seperate networks that cant just be acessed from each other, then how come it be that I can access my rasperry pi when I'm connected on the network of one router when the raspberry pi is connected to the network of another router and how come it be that once you have the wifi password you can connect to all of them?

    @illusion466 Quick question though, if you just had a router, assumeably with a modem builtin, but the modem wasn't connected to anything, would you still be able to make a local network and then just use that to connect devices together, eg. Connect wirelessly to a raspberry pi?

    @illusion466 This is just me in a nutshell, in the end of the video he even said that a router had all of these things built in xD

    @simo002m Yes. You'd have LAN (Local Access Network) connectivity only, but yes.

    When camping I used to take an old Linksys wireless router, car battery and inverter. My buddies and I would all bring our laptops and play Age of Empires 2, and Call of Duty 1.5. A LAN party in the woods. Ahh the good old days...

    @DLMousey Well if I have to be something like a datatechnitian or a sysadmin I would need to have knowledge in networking, right?

    @simo002m It's always a good idea to understand any technology you use, and it sure wouldn't hurt your resume/CV. I'm pretty sure it's a requirement for sysadmin, but I'm not sure about data technician.

    On a side note I only picked up programming to help script stuff when I was a network admin but after a few Windows batch files and a couple Python programs I realized that coding is what I really wanted to do. Cheers!
