In the recent years, many lecturers have incorporated remote laboratories in their subjects to improve their university classes. The remote laboratories give support to the practices of a subject. The goal of this paper is to describe the experience carried out in the subject computer networks at the Polytechnic University of Valencia by several lecturers. We have implemented a laboratory that allows remote access to real devices, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to the students of the technical engineering of telecommunications. This remote laboratory has increased the practice time for each student to work with real devices and have increased their experience in actual real study cases. On the other hand, we have noticed that, after this experience, they are familiarized with the working conditions they will face to when they begin to work as professionals in the real world.
