Research Providers 

Before you sign up for one, do your homework on your area’s different internet service providers (ISPs). Consider things like the cost and the services provided before determining which ISP is ideal for you.

Set up your computer and router 

Select a safe location for your computer and router. When utilizing Wi-Fi or Ethernet, it’s critical to have a stable, secure connection. Consider where the most accessible power outlets are as well as where you’ll use them to ensure that you have the best possible signal.

Set up your network 

When you first get started, make sure that you have all of the necessary components. Before it can be used on your network, your router must be connected to your modem via an ethernet connection. You’ll need a second ethernet connection from the device to connect the router to your PC or laptop.

By using a unique name and password, you can keep your network safe from others who might want to join without permission. To generate these, follow the instructions in your router’s user guide. Once you have finished this process, unplug the cable from your PC and router so that you can surf the web wirelessly!
