Home networks have evolved dramatically over the past two decades. What started as a single computer connected to a dial-up modem has transformed into complex networks handling multiple devices and services. Modern homes now typically connect 15-20 devices simultaneously - from laptops and smartphones to smart TVs and security systems. With the increasing demands of 4K streaming, remote work, and smart home devices, effective network management has become essential. This is where private IP addressing proves invaluable.
