Published: September 01, 2022

Like water and electricity, the internet is a fundamental component of our everyday routine. It allows us to do everything from completing household tasks to communicating with family and friends to gaining access to a wealth of information and entertainment. That’s why learning how to link your Internet connection after you’ve relocated is essential!

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

Research Providers 

Make sure to research your area’s different internet service providers (ISPs) before you commit to one. To figure out which ISP is right for you, consider things like the cost and services offered.

Set up your computer and router 

Choose a safe place for your computer and router. Having a stable, secure connection is key when using Wi-Fi or Ethernet. When placing your technology, consider where the most accessible power outlets are and where you’ll be using them to ensure you have the strongest possible signal.

Set up your network 

Before beginning, ensure that you have all of the correct components. The router must be linked to your modem with an ethernet connection before it can be used on your network. You will need a second ethernet connection from the router in order to connect it to your PC or laptop.

Keep your network safe by using a unique name and password, making it difficult for others to join. 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. Now you can surf the web wirelessly!
