IPv4 Bit Counting System!

Every IPv4 address is made up of 4 numbers (octets), and each octet contains 8 bits.
The bits represent specific values: (128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1).
By adding the values of the bits that are set to 1, we get the decimal number we normally see.

🔹️ Example: 192.168.1.1

■ 192 → 11000000 → 128 + 64 = 192
■ 168 → 10101000 → 128 + 32 + 8 = 168
■ 1 → 00000001 → 1
■ 1 → 00000001 → 1

This binary-to-decimal conversion is how computers store and process IP addresses, even though we humans read them in decimal form for simplicity.

🔹️ Knowing this helps in:
■ Subnetting & network design
■ Troubleshooting IP-related issues
■ Understanding how data travels across networks

As of January 10, 2023, Microsoft will no longer provide security updates or support for computers running Windows 8.1. This means that computers running on the Windows 8.1 operating system can be more vulnerable to security risks and viruses.

For those who have the LInksys Velop system, if you're getting slow speeds even though the modem tests well, be sure to reset "device prioritizaiton". make sure it is turned off and, after the reset, click on the results of the speed test (in the same window) as long as the numbers are 0's and click on "I'd rather use manually ..." and click "ok". That will solve your problem. Linksys is having trouble wtih their "prioritization"
