Setup a Wi-Fi Connection at Home

Many people worldwide use the internet every minute, every hour, every day. Previously, internet connections are shared at offices and homes through wires attached to the computers. With a simple device called a wireless router, a single ISP can be shared at home through wireless connection, more commonly known as Wi-Fi.

Here are the general steps to establish a Wi-Fi connection at home:

1. First, you will need a wireless router. 2. Plug your internet cable behind the router, which is usually labeled as "WAN" (Wide Area Network).

4. Plug the other end of the LAN cable to your LAN card installed in your computer.

5. Plug the adapter behind the router and plug the adapter to a valid electric socket.

6. Turn on the router. Usually, if you installed the router correctly, the led lights of the WAN, WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network), and the number where you plug your LAN cable will blink.

7. Turn on your laptop and try to search for your established wireless connection, and if detected by your computer, you are connected to the internet.

9. To do this, access your router's internal settings. Usually it is accessed by turning off your internet, typing the address of your router in your internet browser (e.g. 172.16.22.15) and the settings menu will be displayed.

Type your desired password and apply settings.

11. Turn on your internet. Type the password; you are now connected to the internet. Now others cannot connect through your Wi-Fi connection unless they know your WEP key.

Now you can set up your own WiFi Internet connection.
