How to Set Up a Wireless Router

Well i'ts as easy as 1 2 3....

Most of the routers are user friendly. There will be instructions that comes with it. For firsttime setup here's what you should do.

Turn off everything first. Modem, Computer and Router
If you're modem is currently connected to your computer then disconnect it first (usually it's color yellow)

1. Connect the wire from the modem to the internet port of the router: the internet port of the router normally is the port not in line with all the other ports.

2. Then connect another ethernet cable from the ethernet port of the router ( usually named port 1,2,3,4) directly to your computer.

3. Turn on the modem first. After awhile turn on the wireless router. Then turn on the computer.

4. Insert the disc that came with the router and it should normally let you follow the steps to set it up: It should be all automatic so just click next and next and next until it will be done. Please note that for anything that you'll type on the router setting: you should always remember or you might want to take note or print it out for future reference. I'll give you details on a different post on how to manually setup a router.

5. Normally after doing this you shouldbe online.



***For manual checks if this will not go through i'll give you the steps on another post.
hope it helps though.
