In early days setting up a network was something only anetwork engineer could manage. Which included crimping network cables and attaching connectors to them then connecting the computers to a switch or a router. Then they were required to login to the router and apply commands to configure the network. If all of this sounds complex to you imagine how much more complex it may beto really do it. Plus it was even more challenging if there was an issue and you were required to work out which cable goes where in the clutter of cables.
Although with the invention and mass scale deployment of wireless technologies all items have become easier. Wireless does precisely what the name suggests it eliminatesall the wires needed to create a network in your house. Besides a wireless network also provides you with mobility and that means you can move about your home or office and access the net.
Setting up a wireless network is easier. There are a small number of steps involved in getting a wireless network working.
You only need a network connection, a wireless modem or router and a computer with internal wireless card.
The first step should be to connect your wireless router to the cable which comes from wall outlet which is your internet connection. Attach the router to a powerand turn it on.
The second step is to login to your personal computer and open a internet browser. See the instructions for your particular brand of router. But most routers could be connected to by entering the address "192.168.1.1" in your internet browser.
Once connected you will be prompted to enter account information which happens to be default to "admin" in many routers.
The third step is upon having connected to the router interface you need to choose the wireless setup tab and enter the username and password provided to you by your isp. You will additionally need to setup a password which is the SSID key that you would be prompted to enter initially you connect with the router. When you have performed this you are good to go. You can restart your laptop or computer, enter the SSID key you setup and you could connect with the internet.
There is also a fourth step that I would suggest that is creating an Access control list on your router. Which implies even if your neighbor is within the range of your wireless connection they would be unable to connect and use internet at no cost. This would lead to less bandwidth available for you.
When you have logged into the router interface access the wireless setup tab and enter your MAC address in the box provided. A MAC address is a unique code for each network device. You will find you mac address by opening the Command prompt window and typing IPCONFIG/ALL . Scroll down to find your wireless adaptor and find the physical address that is the MAC address for your computer. Remember to set the option to permit access to the MAC addresses entered.
