Research Providers 

When it comes to internet service providers, most states allow consumers a lot of alternatives. Do some research into the ISPs in your region before connecting your new home’s internet. Compare costs and services to see which ISP is the best fit for you.

Set up your computer and router 

Locate a safe, suitable location for your computer and router. When connecting via Wi-Fi or Ethernet, placement is critical. Consider where the most accessible power sockets are and where you’ll be using your technology to guarantee you get the best connection.

Set up your internet 

It’s time to turn everything on once you’ve gathered all of your parts. Before the router may be linked to your network, it must be connected via an ethernet connection to your modem. Connect the router with a second ethernet connection on your laptop or PC.

To prevent anyone from connecting to your network, be sure to follow the instructions in your router’s manual to create a unique network name and password. After you’ve completed this procedure, unplug the cable linking your PC to the router. You may now use Wi-Fi to surf the internet!
