With the internet being such an integrated part of society, it is now imperative to know how to reconnect your Internet after moving.

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

Research Providers 

Not all internet service providers are created equal. By taking the time to compare different ISPs in your area, you can make an informed decision based on important factors such as cost and available services.

Set Up Your Computer and Router 

Keep your computer and router close to each other in a safe place. A dependable, secure connection is key when using Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Also, make sure you’re plugged into the right power outlets for optimal signal strength.

Set Up Your Network 

Before moving forward, please verify that you have all of the required tools. Your router should be physically connected to your modem using an ethernet cord. In addition, your computer or laptop will need its own ethernet connection in order to connect to the router.

Creating a unique username and password can prevent others from using your network without your permission. Once you have completed this process, unplug the cable connecting your PC and router so that you can surf the web wirelessly!
