Just Moved? Here’s How to Set Up Your Internet

Published: March 01, 2022

A strong internet connection is almost as important to modern life as water and electricity. It allows us to get our work done, keep in touch with our loved ones, and access a wealth of information and entertainment. That’s why when you move, it’s critical that you know how to set it up at your new location.

UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of Greater Philadelphia and Delaware is here to share the steps you need to take to set up internet at your new home. 

Research Providers 

In nearly every state in the United States, there are at least two internet provider alternatives. As a result, before you connect your new home’s internet service, it’s vital that you do some research to find out which providers exist in your region. To determine which one is ideal for you, compare prices and plans.

Set up your computer and router 

Locate the optimum position for your computer and router. Location is important when connecting to Wi-Fi or ethernet cable. Consider where the best outlets are located and where you’ll be using your devices so you can get the greatest connection.

Set up your network 

Now that you’ve got all of your pieces, it’s time to turn them on and get things up and running. To properly establish your network, you’ll need to connect the router to your modem using an ethernet connection. Then connect your laptop or computer to the router with another ethernet cable. Now turn everything on!

From there, follow the instructions that came with your router. This will allow you to create your own network name and secure password. After you’ve completed this procedure, unplug the cable connecting your PC to the router. You can now use Wi-Fi to connect to the internet!
