Published: November 01, 2022

It’s essential to know how to reconnect your Internet after moving. The ability to have easy access to the internet is now a staple in our lives that we often take for granted. It lets us do numerous tasks, from simple everyday errands like checking the weather or our bank balance all the way up to more important things like talking with distant relatives.

UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of Greenville is here to share the steps you need to take to set up internet at your new home. 

Research Providers 

There’s no need to impulsively sign up for the first internet service provider you see. By comparing different providers in your area, you can tailor your decision based on important factors such as cost and available services.

Set Up Your Computer and Router 

Store your computer and router in an accessible, safe location. A dependable, secure connection is key when using Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Also, make a note of where the most convenient power outlets are situated for optimal signal strength.

Set Up Your Network 

Ensure that you have all of the appropriate tools before beginning. Your router must be attached to your modem via an ethernet cord, and likewise, your computer or laptop requires a second ethernet connection to connect to the router.

By following the instructions in your router’s user guide, you can create a unique username and password to prevent others from using your network without permission. Once you have completed this process, unplug the cable connecting your PC and router so that you can surf the web wirelessly!
