What is a 'fully redundant network connection', when it's at home?

Sounds like it's died.

That doesn't really answer my question. I've tried wikipedia but still no luck. Can someone please explain what this means?

it basically means that you have a backup if your main fails.

so when your main network goes down you switch to the redundant and continue as normal.

a fully redundant network, means that you have no single points of failure - no one single point that if it falls down the whole thing cr@ps out.

hope that helps

Just like a server when it has RAID5, if 1 hard drive fails, the server keeps going like nothing happened, then you just pop-in a new hard drive and the server rebuilds the new blank drive and carries on like nothing ever happened.

Or when you have 2 power supplies, 1 dies, the other keeps it running.

Redundancy basically means you can afford for it to fail without anything actually going down.

That is when your home is datacenter

Datacenter at home - that's interesting.
