Basic Router Setup

Creating a Home Network

What is a network?

A network is a group of computers or devices that can communicate with each other. A home network of more than one computer or device also typically includes Internet access, which requires a router.

A typical home network may include multiple computers, a media player/server, a printer, a modem, and a router. A large home network may also have a switch, additional routers, access points, and many Internet-capable media devices such as TVs, game consoles, and web cameras.

 Modem – Connects a computer or router to the Internet or ISP

(Internet Service Provider).

 Router – Connects your wireless and wired network devices to

each other and to the modem.

 Switch – Allows you to connect several wired network devices to

your home network. Your router has a built-in network switch (the LAN port 1-4). If you have more wired network devices than available Ethernet ports on your router, you will need an additional switch to add more wired connections.

How to set up a home network

1. For a network that includes Internet access, you’ll need:

2. Make sure that your modem is working. Your ISP can help you set up your modem and verify that it’s working correctly.

3. Set up your router. See “How to setup your router” below.

4. To connect additional wired computers or wired network devices to your network, see “How to connect additional wired devices to your network” on page 11.

5. To set up wireless networking on your router, see “Wireless Networking” on page 24.
