<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Of course, you need Wi Fi equipments like a wireless router.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Between your network for WiFi and the Internet, a router transfers information. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">You can avoid using wires to connect WiFi to computer by hooking up wireless router. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Wireless network technologies come in various forms, including 802.11a, 802.11g, 802.11b, 802.11ac, 802.11n, and 802.11ax.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Your PC connects to home wireless network using a wireless network adapter. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Your desktop or portable PC needs a wireless network adapter to connect to your wireless network. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Most laptops, tablets, and desktop PCs already have a wireless network adapter installed.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Follow these steps on configuring wireless network adapter in your PC:</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Step 1: Choose “Start” =&gt; Search and select “Device Manager” in the search bar, and then select it</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">It's simpler than you would think to get an Internet hook up at your house or place of business. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Let's go over how to set up WiFi at home.</p>

<h3 dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify" id="tag-48"><strong>Find an Internet service provider</strong></h3>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Choosing an Internet service provider is the first step.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Take into account the following criteria before making a choice:</p>

<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
	<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Availability</p>
	</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Your options may quickly become more limited due to availability. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">While there may be several ISPs available in big cities, there may only be one or two in smaller towns and rural areas.</p>

	<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify"><strong>Speed</strong></p>
	</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">When selecting an Internet plan, most people focus on speed.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">However, it's a good idea to examine how much speed you actually need instead of selecting the most costly, quickest plan.</p>

<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
	<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify"><strong>Reliability</strong></p>
	</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Frequently, reliability is just as crucial as speed. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Fiber connections, for example, are intrinsically more dependable than other forms of connections. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">While satellite Internet can be interrupted by the weather, cable and DSL frequently give slower speeds than claimed in some circumstances.</p>

<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
	<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify"><strong>Price</strong></p>
	</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Although the price appears to be quite simple, there are many details that can be missed.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Be sure to account for up-front expenditures, which can add up during a costly move and include installation and equipment fees.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Be aware of plans that have price increases and hidden costs as well.</p>

<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
	<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify"><strong>Customer service</strong></p>
	</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">We all want a problem to be solved as soon as possible, especially with less dependable connection types.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">If you're thinking about DSL, for instance, be sure the ISP providing the plan is reputable for fixing issues fast and not allowing their network to deteriorate.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Once you have everything and choose a suitable ISP, you must get an Internet connection at home. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">You may join up with several providers online or by calling a representative from customer service. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">One benefit of a new Internet connection at setup is that a technician may set up your entire home network for you.</p>

<h3 dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify" id="tag-103"><strong>Set up your modem</strong></h3>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Your home network cannot function without your modem since it converts the Internet signal your ISP sends to your residence.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">If your ISP sends you home networking equipment, you might see two devices—a wireless router and a modem.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Alternatively, you may see a single wireless gateway that combines these two.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Then, it’s vital to know how to setup new modem.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Locate your primary Internet line and use that connecting modem to Internet.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Examine the status lights on your modem after plugging it in and connecting to the Internet provider to configure modem. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Things may take some time to fully go online. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">To activate the modem, you might need to call your Internet provider (basically to ensure the network recognizes the modem).</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Your home network is controlled by your wireless router so that you can connect to wireless Internet. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">It establishes your WiFi network, assigns IP addresses, manages traffic, and ensures that all of your data travels to the appropriate locations. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">To get the most out of your Internet service, you need to know how to setup router and ensure that your router complies with specific WiFi standards.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify"><strong>How to set up my router?</strong></p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">To get a WiFi router setup, follow our router hook up instructions:</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Step 1: Turn on your wireless router by connecting it with an Ethernet connection to your modem.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Step 2: Watch for the status lights to indicate that it has successfully connected to the Internet and that its WiFi network is active.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Step 3: Locate the default IP address of your wireless router and log in.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Step 4: Set up your WiFi network's name (SSID) and password in your wireless router's user interface or app. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Do this for each of your router's WiFi bands, which are typically 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Step 5: Set up additional features now if your wireless router has them, such as scheduling, guest networks, or user profiles. </p>
