Setting up a home network is very useful; it provides enough speed to let your home devices operate to their fullest.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t have to be technical to set up a home network; all you need is hardware equipment and the internet. Once you set up your home network, you can easily access the devices anywhere in your home, transfer files and folders at high speed, and stay protected from outside threats with the latest network protections.<\/p>\n<p>One important thing is to plan your home network accordingly. For example, you have to decide whether you want a wired home network set up or a wireless home network set up.<\/p>\n<p>A wired home network is good for online gaming and <a href=\"https:\/\/iprovpn.com\/streaming-vpn\">streaming activities<\/a>.

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Keep the following things in your mind when setup the home network:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Place_your_Wireless_router_in_the_right_place\"><\/span>Place your Wireless router in the right place<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the first step, you need to place your wireless router at a central location with no obstruction. There should be no Windows or walls near your wireless router. Otherwise, it will affect the signals and connectivity.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Switch_off_the_modem\"><\/span>Switch off the modem<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Before connecting your hardware, switch off your modem from the internet service provider.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Connect_your_router_with_a_modem\"><\/span>Connect your router with a modem<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now, you should use an Ethernet cable that usually comes with your router. Insert one end of your Ethernet cable into the router\u2019s WAN port, and connect the other end of the cable with the modem.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Connect_your_laptopPC_with_the_router\"><\/span>Connect your laptop\/PC with the router<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Use another Ethernet cable and connect one end of the cable with a router LAN port (you can also insert the cable in any other port). Connect another end of the Ethernet cable to the laptop\u2019s Ethernet port. You can remove this wiring once your network is established.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Switch_on_your_router_modem_and_laptopPC\"><\/span>Switch on your router, modem, and laptop\/PC<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At this stage, you have to turn on all three devices together. First, switch on your modem, then power on your router. When your router is on, then turn on your laptop\/PC.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Access_your_routers_administration_page\"><\/span>Access your router\u2019s administration page<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now, on your laptop or computer, you have to launch a browser and enter your router IP address. This will redirect you to the router administration page, where you have to log in using the credentials mentioned in your router\u2019s manual.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_router_username_and_password\"><\/span>Change router username and password<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Check your router panel and head to the administration page. Change the default password and username of your router. Ensure using a strong password that cannot be cracked.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Select_WPA2_Security_for_your_router\"><\/span>Select WPA2 Security for your router<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You have to set up WPA2 security for your router. You must check your router administration page and head to wireless security settings to apply changes. From the wireless security section, select your encryption type, and enter a strong password that contains at least eight characters.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that WPA2 is generally considered more secure than WEP. If you\u2019re using an older router model, you can use the combination of WPA\/WPA2. For the latest routers, you can use WPA3.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_your_SSID_wireless_network_name\"><\/span>Change your (SSID) wireless network name<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Changing your SSID (Service Set Identifier) will help you select a more recognizable name. To change your SSID, head to the router administration page, then the wireless network information section, and change the SSID.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Set_up_the_wireless_adapter_on_your_LaptopPC\"><\/span>Set up the wireless adapter on your Laptop\/PC<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once you\u2019re done with router configuration settings, disconnect the Ethernet cable from your laptop and router. Now, connect a USB or wireless adapter to your laptop (If your laptop is not supporting a built-in wireless adapter). Your laptop will automatically install the drivers, or you could use the setup CD that came with the adapter.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_Connect_with_the_new_wireless_network\"><\/span>\u00a0Connect with the new wireless network<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can find your newly set up network on your laptop connect all your wireless- devices to this network.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Setup_a_Wired_Home_Network\"><\/span>How To Setup a Wired Home Network<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you set up a home network (Wired), you have to hardwire your devices to the router. In this way, all the connected devices receive an internet connection.<\/p>\n<p>Devices you want to connect to your network must have Ethernet ports to be easily connected with the router via an Ethernet cable.<\/p>\n<p>However, this process will not work for tablets, smartphones, and the latest laptop models. Nevertheless, you can connect your wireless devices to the network by plugging in a wireless access point or switching to your router to connect wireless devices.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Place your router at a central location of your home.<\/li>\n<li>Plug your Ethernet hub into the electrical socket. You can wire up to eight devices simultaneously. The devices should have Ethernet ports to be connected.<\/li>\n<li>Login to your router administration page and make the following changes:\n<ul>\n<li>Change the default password and SSID name.<\/li>\n<li>Activate WEP security.<\/li>\n<li>Turn on Firewall.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Use the Ethernet cable to connect the access point to the router. Plug one side of the cable in the router&#8217;s LAN port and insert the other side of the cable into the Ethernet port on the access point.<\/li>\n<li>Now, you can connect your devices using the Ethernet cable. The cable will help you tether a device to the router and supply the internet connection to that device.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Protect_Your_Devices\"><\/span>How To Protect Your Devices<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The best way to protect your home network is to connect iProVPN to your router.
