Research Providers 

Don’t just go with the first internet service provider you see. By spending time comparing different providers in your area, you can base your decision on important deciding factors, such as cost and available services.

Set Up Your Computer and Router 

Keep your computer and router in an accessible location where they will be safe. A dependable, secure connection is key when using Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Also, make sure to note the most convenient power outlets for optimal signal strength.

Set Up Your Network 

To get started, double-check that you have all of the right tools. Your router must be physically connected to your modem with an ethernet cord, and likewise, your computer or laptop will need a second ethernet connection 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!
