Research Providers 

Different internet service providers offer a variety of options, so it is important to compare them before making a decision. When looking at different ISPs, consider important factors such as the monthly cost and what services are available.

Set Up Your Computer and Router 

Your computer and router work best when they’re close to each other in a safe place. Plus, you’ll want to make sure you have a dependable, secure connection key when using Wi-Fi or Ethernet. And lastly, make sure it’s plugged into the right power outlets for optimal signal strength.

Set Up Your Network 

Please ensure that you have the following tools before continuing. Your router should be physically connected to your modem using an ethernet cord, and your computer or laptop will need its own ethernet connection in order to connect to the router.

A personalized username and password will keep strangers from leeching off your internet. After you’ve set this up, disconnect the cord linking your computer to the router so that you can browse the web without being tethered!
