Hi, My name is Jacob. Keeping your wireless Internet signals secure is one of the most important things you should do. Unsecured WiFi means anyone can use it, so I'm gonna show you how to set up for WiFi and redder security. This is a general walk through how most writers are set up. Keep in mind that this information may differ from manufacturer to manufacturer, but this guy will be a good start to begin to make sure your modem and redder are both off. Rued the power from both devices if they're already powered on. Next, connect the modem to the when or Internet port on your router with an Ethernet cable. In some cases, these are a different color. To make it easier to identify the correct port, connect your laptop or computer to port one on the road. This step will make the initial set up much easier in a lot of cases. If you don't have a device with an Ethernet port, you may be able to sit out the road or over WiFi. We'll talk more about that later. Now return power to your modem and wrote it, and that's it for the hardware configuration. Now it's time to configure your road. Begin by checking the documentation that came with the road. In most cases, you'll be directed to open a Web browser such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox, and then type a specific I P address or Web address into the address bar. If you don't have access to a computer with an Ethernet port, such as a MacBook Air, check the technical details Info sticker, usually on the bottom of the Roeder, and look for a default WiFi network name and password. Once connected over WiFi, you can then launched a Web browser and access the writer set up Wizard by Web address or i P. Address. The set of wizard will usually have you configure the administrator password for the river. This is the password you'll need if you want to log back into the road or in the future and make changes set again, will also prevent intruders from getting in using widely known default passports. If you forget this password, you'll have to factory reset the router and go to the set up process again from stretched. So always write it down in a safe place, not a big deal, but consider yourself warned. Your network name is also known as S s I. D. This is going to be the name of your WiFi network. In most cases, this name is broadcast to allow devices to see your network. Don't worry. As long as you secure your network with the password, which will cover in the next step, you're not giving free Internet to your neighborhood. Some folks really get creative with the name their network such as Pretty fly for WiFi bill. Why the sci fi or virus distribution center? You get the idea. No matter how you name your network, the next step securing it is the most important part. If your brother is dual band Manning, it has to WiFi networks one at 2.4 gigahertz and another at five gigahertz way strongly recommend that the two networks do not share the same name. This can lead to issues with the connection appearing to drop or stuff. Simply adding five g to the end of the five gigahertz network can avoid us. Now is time to set your WiFi password. Your WiFi password may be referred to by a number of names. Pass phrase security and pre shared key or coming. Generally, you want to create a password that's 8 to 16 characters long and contains those upper and lower case letters and at least one number. Once you've done these steps, you'll be prompted to save your said. It's remember, you'll have to configure your computers and devices to connect to your new rotor, depending on what you're doing. This may mean updating a password on each or connecting for the first time. By following these steps, you should now have a safe, secure access point that lets you and your family connect to the Internet.
