How do you set up a wireless router? |

To setup, your router for cable internet connection follow the following steps.
N.B: Here I use a NETGEAR router. The process is the same for other routers or slightly different. 1. Connect your modem to the internet port of the router and your computer to any of the LAN ports. 2. Switch the computer, router, and broadband/cable modem, off and on again. Wait for them all to finish booting up. 3. Open a web browser and type the router's IP address which would be either http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1 in the address bar and press Enter.
You are prompted to log into the router. The default username is admin and the default password is password. The username and password are case-sensitive. If the default username and password are not working, you might have changed the password.

Using your web browser, enter the router's default IP address into the address bar, then press Enter. Your router's instructions should include this information, but some of the most common addresses include 192.168.0.1, 192.168.1.1, and 192.168.2.1.
The router's sign-in page will appear. Again, the exact sign-in details should be included with your router's instructions, but most routers use a standard user name and password combination, such as admin and password.
Your router's settings page will appear. Locate and select the Network Name setting, then enter a unique network name.
Locate and select the Network Password setting, and choose an Encryption option. There are several types of encryption you can use, but we recommend WPA2, which is generally considered to be the most secure.
Enter your desired password. Make sure to use a strong password to help ensure no one else can access your network.
Locate and select the Save button to save your settings.
Greetings,
