What Does A Wireless Router Do?

 

 
When you go wireless on your laptop computer at home, one of the most important things you will need is a good quality wireless router. This is a small little computerized box that connects between your home network and your ISP Internet Service Providers DSL/Cable modem. Its sole function is to provide wired and wireless Internet connections to all your laptops, computers, tablets, and smart entertainment components within
your home network.


This way you can surf the Internet from any room in your house and even wirelessly a few yards outside of your house, without any cables or wires. You will quickly find out that it is very easy to set up a router yourself. It normally requires very little if any configuration at all to get started. You will be able to be completely set up with a wireless router in less than an hour. Be sure to watch my video tutorial just below this paragraph on how to setup a linksys wireless router.

Wireless Router Setup and Installation


You will quickly discover that when installing your wireless router it will require practically no thought process whatsoever. It is normally a plug and play device. Just plug it in and connect your ISP cable or DSL USB modem to the wireless router. If you do run into a problem it is normally very easy to access the router configuration via your Internet browser by entering an IP address of 192.168.1.1. You will than be prompted for an user id and password before you can access your router settings. Always read your users manual at least once. I know it's a big pain but it's well worth it. :)

You will be on your way to wireless networking in no time and be able to start using your wireless laptop computer in about an hour if all goes smoothly. And it will. Just get yourself the best wireless router you can afford and one that will do 802.11 N at speeds of 300Mbps. You will be up and running in no time.
