Been a LONG time since I took the N+ but I don't think you need any lab work. Just know the OSI layers back and forth, common ports and what they're used for, subnetting and network topologies.

Two ways to go about it, from my experience at least:
Either you can force yourself to study or you can put yourself in an environment where its much easier to study. I needed people around to keep myself away from distraction, so I used to study in the library or one of the study rooms, with just my ppl.

Definitely gonna try to hit the library as much as possible from here on out

I need help with the network plus cert is there any lab simulators I could use?

from my experience, the N+ dealed more with hardware, the OSI and common port numbers. Knowing the different type of cables is another good one too.

The first & third link in my sig, a good book, and practice quizzes are all you need. Comptia is vendor neutral so there is very little to lab (software wise). The only thing I can think of are dos commands, so open up the command prompt and practice with that (ipconfig, traceroute, ping, etc.)

Brehs, got a question for everyone...What is your favorite technology that you work with?

For me, I would have to say SQL and databases. For me, that shyt just came super natural.

 

[FreshFromATL]

Also, for all my coding/programming brehs. y'all need to get that sublime text editor. that shyt is a godsend. you can write code for every technology you'll likely use with it.
