Research Providers 

When it comes to internet service providers, most states provide consumers with a wide range of alternatives. Before connecting your new home’s Internet connection, do some research into the ISPs in your area. To determine which ISP is the best fit for you, calculate costs and services.

Set up your computer and router 

Locate a secure, stable place for your computer and router. When connecting via Wi-Fi or Ethernet, placement is crucial. Consider where the most accessible power outlets are and where you’ll be using your technology to ensure you have the greatest connection.

Set up your network 

It’s time to turn everything on once you’ve gathered all of your components. The router must be connected to your modem via an ethernet connection before it can be linked to your network. Connect a second ethernet connection from the router to your laptop or PC.

You can use a unique network name and password to prevent people from connecting to your network. Make sure to follow the directions in your router’s user manual to generate a unique network name and password. Unplug the cable that connects your PC to the router after you’ve finished this operation. You may now surf the web using Wi-Fi!
