Your Wireless Router and Your Computer Network

By Daniel Odendi


Setting up your computer is presently awfully easy, but when you buy a computer there are just a couple of computing accessories that are required for an optimal computing experience. One of these add ons is a wireless router. Routers are not just for offices or small businesses, they're now a standard for home computing because most houses have more than one computer. In addition to a portable computer, you could have a Computer or desktop and an iPhone that has a wifi connection.

The reason for buying a wireless router is really because you wish to share your web connection with several computers rather than paying up for individual ISP connections for each single computer. When the router is turned on it will operate printers and PCs as well as PCs.

But before it is possible to do that you have to get the router set up and for this you need an Ethernet wire. You must attach this cable to your router to this and then you may connect your personal computer to the router with the other end Find port 2 on the back of the wireless router and plug the Ethernet wire into it, now connect the other end of the wire to the network adaptor in your PC system.

When you have your computer connected to the router then you can switch on your computer Now just pop the CD that came with your Linksys wrt54gs into your computer's CD drive and wait for it to open. When the Menu comes up on screen double- click the tiny Set Up icon

Now it'll ask you for a password and you have to type in the word "admin" and then click "OK" when you have done that click where it is saying "Setup" and choose "Basic Setup" and click that also Click on the "Administration" tab on the router set up screen. Choose the "Management" tab in the Administration menu. And click on OK to proceed.
