In addition to a stationary computer or laptop, I would like to connect many additional mobile devices to the network. For example smartphones or tablet computers. To realize this opportunity, routers capable of operating as a Wi-Fi access point are used today. Setting up such a device is very simple.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, you need to choose a convenient place in the apartment for the router. You need to proceed from where the largest number of wired devices are located so that you do not have to pull a separate wire to each device. Also, do not forget that the router itself will need power, which means that an outlet is needed nearby.
Step 2
Although walls are not a tangible barrier to Wi-Fi networks, it is best to place the router so that it is in the center of your home.
Step 3
After choosing the installation site, you must connect the router to the electrical network. The power indicator on the router will light up. Now you need to connect your ISP's network wire to the router. The light should come on to confirm the connection has been established. Keep in mind that for the router to work properly on a specific network, it must support the protocols used by the provider. Otherwise, the router may simply not see the network and this will not mean that it is damaged.
Step 4
Now you need to set up the connection. Most modern routers are automatically configured to work on the network. It remains only to enter the username and password to access the service in the device memory. To do this, connect the router to your computer with a regular network wire. The router itself will have an internal address where you can enter its settings panel using an Internet browser. This address is indicated in the instructions for the router or pasted directly on it. Login and password are required to enter. They are also standard and are indicated in the instructions.
Step 5
In the control panel, you need to configure a Wi-Fi network. To do this, come up with a network name and access code. They must be entered in the appropriate tab in the device settings. If you do not know what needs to be specified in the additional settings, then it is better not to touch these options.
