Published: August 01, 2022

Like water and electricity, the internet is an important aspect of our everyday lives. It allows us to do everything from completing chores to communicating with family and friends to gaining access to a plethora of knowledge and entertainment.

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

Research Providers 

Most states provide a large selection of ISPs to customers when it comes to internet service providers. Before connecting your new home’s Internet connection, do some research into the ISPs in your area. Calculate costs and services to determine which ISP is the best fit for you.

Set up your computer and router 

Locate a secure, stable area for your computer and router. When connecting via Wi-Fi or Ethernet, placement is critical. Consider where the most accessible power outlets are and where you’ll use your tech to ensure you have the best connection.

Set up your network 

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

Use a unique network name and password to keep others from joining your network. Follow your router’s user guide instructions to generate a unique network name and password. Remove the cable that connects your PC to the router after you’ve finished this process. You may now browse the web using Wi-Fi!
