Internet – Can you imagine life without it?

It has become easy for us to leverage the power of the internet with mobiles. However, when it comes to connecting laptops and desktops, mobile data is not a comprehensive solution. It lacks the optimum speed and the connection interrupts way too many times.

Thus, setting up an internet connection, like Wi-Fi, dial-up, broadband, etc. can help you to achieve the desired speed and use the internet to its full potential.

It's quite simple to set up your own home wireless network if you already have high-speed internet access, such as broadband. A wireless network, commonly referred to as Wi-Fi, enables you to connect laptops, cellphones, and other mobile devices to your home Internet service without the use of an Ethernet connection.

Before we jump into how to set it up, let’s just go through the equipment you need for the installation.

Wireless communications need specialized equipment. You'll need a wireless router at the very least. This will transfer the data from your modem to your device with a built-in modem. However, depending on the device you're using, you may also need to purchase a modem.

Modem - You'll need to purchase a modem if this is your first home internet setup. This is where all of your internet information travels before being transmitted to you.

Buying a router

A wireless router is one of the main devices needed to set up an internet connection. A wireless router will distribute your Wi-Fi signal all across your home. For a modest monthly charge, your Internet service provider (ISP) may provide you with a wireless router. This may be the simplest choice if you've never set up a Wi-Fi network previously.

If you are planning to purchase your own router, it would be great if you spend more time researching the different options - internet service providers, or types of modem - this will help you to gather the right information about the modem and help you make the right choice.

Some modems come with a built-in wireless router, so you won't need to purchase one separately. Browse thoroughly before making a purchase!

Installing the device

After you've signed up for an internet subscription, you'll need to set up the required equipment to connect your home to your provider's network. There are two options for accomplishing this. You have the option of having your equipment installed by a professional technician or doing it yourself.

Before we begin, it's vital to remember that professional installation is required if connecting your home to the internet necessitates burying the new wire or connecting to utility poles. Some ISPs also demand expert installation for some of their top-tier plans to ensure that the equipment is correctly installed. Before you begin, make sure that self-installation is an option.

Setting up the router

Most gadgets in your house - from your laptop to your smart TV and your thermostat - connect to your home network wirelessly. Because many of these gadgets lack the ability to plug in a physical cable, establishing a wireless network has become a necessary step in getting your devices up and running.

Connecting to your router and setting up network security are the two aspects of setting up your network.

1. Connecting the router

   Many contemporary routers come with applications that let you operate them from your phone.

2. Setting up network security

   You'll need your login and password to log in to your router. This will be the same username and password you set up before if you took your router with you from your former house. The default username and password will be displayed on the router or in the user manual if this is a new router.

Connecting the cables
