How to Set Up a Home Wi-FI Network

Setting up a wireless network might sound tough but when it is just setting up a home network, a little instruction guide will remove all your fears. We have often seen homes with Wifi setup that saves us from tons of wires and sometimes data charges on phones, especially smartphones. A lots of our daily used devices like smartphones, tablets, laptops has wifi, which we do not use. But in some very easy steps we can make our home a wifi zone and use internet on our devices without the hassle of wires and with a single broadband connection! For that we will need,


1. Of course an internet connection
2. A wireless router (now many are available at prices like $40 or less)
3. Wifi devices

The steps are very easy. At the back of any wireless router, you will find two kinds of ports beside the power adapter port. One should be labelled as WAN, where you will have to plug in the Broadband or DSL jack that you would connect at the back of your PC before.

The other ports are labelled as LAN, where you can connect your desktop computer which usually does not have wifi connectivity.

The hardest part of this setup is configuring the router which is actually not so hard. In order to do that, open a web browser of that connected PC and enter 192.168.1.1 in any web browser that will open your router's control panel. There, you will be guided with step by step setup that varies for different router brands and models. You will have to put the IP address, Getaway and DNS provided by your internet connection provider. There, you will be able to select the SSID by which the other wifi devices will identify the wireless network and a password.


After finishing these steps, it should be easy to find the network with other wifi enabled devices and use the internet by joining with the password.
