8. Parts of a Wireless Router

9. Getting Online Turn off your modem Connect that cable to the WAN or internet port on your new router Power on your modem (wait for a minute or two) Power on your router (wait for a minute or two) Now use another Ethernet cable to connect the PC to your router's LAN port, and Turn on your PC.

10. Accessing the Management Console Enter the router's IP address, which will look something like 192.168.0.1, into the browser's address bar and press Enter. Launch your browser; it doesn't matter which one you use. You will see the router's login screen asking for the default administrator username and password.

11. Change the Router’s Default Password Log in to the router's management console and look for a heading System Tools. Go to Password. Enter the default password and then enter the new password. Then click Save/Apply.

12. Managing your IP Addresses with DHCP Assign a range of IP addresses for the DHCP server to use. Assuming your router's IP address is 192.168.0.1 and you wanted to assign 50 IP addresses to the DHCP scope, you would set the Starting IP address to 192.168.0.2 and the Ending address to 192.168.0.51. Log in to the router's management console and look for a heading like LAN Setup (or something similar).

13. Activating your Wi-Fi. Go into the router's management console and locate the section titled Wireless Setup. Next make sure the Channel is set to Auto and leave the Mode in its default setting. This brings us to the SSID. The SSID is the name of your wireless network. The final step is to set the encryption your Wi-Fi network will use. There are a few choices here. The only one you're interested in using is WPA2.

14. Reboot your Router Go into the router's management console and locate the section titled System Tools. Then click Reboot.
