What is It
Routers are physical devices that join multiple wired or wireless networks
together. Technically, a wired or wireless router is a Layer 3 gateway, meaning
that the wired/wireless router connects networks (as gateways do), and that the
router operates at the network layer of the OSI model.
Home networkers often use an Internet Protocol (IP) wired or wireless router,
IP being the most common OSI network layer protocol. An IP router such as a
DSL or cable modem broadband router joins the home's local area network (LAN)
to the wide-area network (WAN) of the Internet.
A network router is a small electronic device that allows you build a home
network simply. The home router serves as the core or "centerpiece" of the
network to which computers, printers and other devices can be connected.
Networking with a router helps you to (for example):
Routers are not necessarily required to build a network. For example, you can
connect two computers directly to each other with just a cable (or without wires
in some cases). Home routers offer convenience and easier maintenance as your
network grows.

What is an access point?
An access point is a device that creates a wireless local area network, or
WLAN, usually in an office or large building. An access point connects to a wired
router, switch, or hub via an Ethernet cable, and projects a Wi-Fi signal to a
designated area. For example, if you want to enable Wi-Fi access in your company's
reception area but don’t have a router within range, you can install an access point
near the front desk and run an Ethernet cable through the ceiling back to the server
room.

Installing a Network Router
2. Plug in the router's electrical power source, then turn on the router by pushing
the power button.
4. Connect one computer to the router. Even if the router is a wireless model,
connect this first computer to the router via a network cable. Using a cable
during router installation ensures the maximum reliability of the equipment.
Once a wireless router installation is complete, the computer can be changed
over to a wireless connection if desired.
5. Open the router's administration tool. From the computer connected to the
router, first open your Web browser. Then enter the router's address for
network administration in the Web address field and hit return to reach the
router's home page.
Many routers are reached by either the Web address
"http://192.168.1.1" or "http://192.168.0.1" Consult your router's
documentation to determine the exact address for your model. Note that you
do not need a working Internet connection for this step.
6. Log in to the router. The router's home page will ask you for a username and
password. Both are provided in the router's documentation. You should change
the router's password for security reasons, but do this after the installation is
complete to avoid unnecessary complications during the basic setup.
7. If you want your router to connect to the Internet, you must enter Internet
connection information into that section of the router's configuration (exact
location varies). If using DSL Internet, you may need to enter the PPPoE
username and password. Likewise, if you have been issued a static IP
address by your provider (you would need to have requested it), the static IP
fields (including network mask and gateway) given to you by the provider must
also must be set in the router.
7
8. If you were using a primary computer or an older network router to connect to
the Internet, your provider may require you to update the MAC address of the
router with the MAC address of the device you were using previously.
9. If this is a wireless router, change the network name (often called SSID). While
the router comes to you with a network name set at the factory, you will never
want to use this name on your network. Read How to Change the Router
SSID for detailed instructions.
10. Verify the network connection is working between your one computer and
the router. To do this, you must confirmed that the computer has received IP
address information from the router. See How to Find IP Addresses for a
description of this process.
11. (If applicable) Verify your one computer can connect to the
Internet properly. Open your Web browser and visit a few Internet sites such
as http://compnetworking.about.com/.

How to set up a Wi-Fi network
If you already have high-speed (broadband) Internet service at your house, it's
pretty easy to create your own home wireless network. Commonly known as Wi-Fi,
a wireless network allows you to connect laptops, smartphones, and other mobile
devices to your home Internet service without an Ethernet cable.
8
To create your own Wi-Fi
network, you'll need a wireless
router. This is the device that will
broadcast the Wi-Fi signal from your
Internet modem throughout your
house. Your Internet service provider
(ISP) may offer you a wireless router
for a small monthly fee. If you've
never set up a Wi-Fi network before,
this may be the easiest option.
Note:
9
by your Internet service provider (ISP). If your computer detects an Internet
connection, you're ready to set up the router.
Parts of a Router

10
Test the connection with a device, Confirm that your router has a working
connection by plugging a laptop computer into one of the device ports on the back of
the router. If all goes well, you should be able to begin a wired connection, just as
you did when confirming an active Internet connection.
11
Step 9: Use auto-configuration tools where possible
If your router is equipped with auto-install features, rely on them to help
complete setup. For example, you should be able to use auto-configuration to
manage IP addresses with the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), which
automatically assigns IP addresses to devices. You can always change these
addresses later.
4. Locate and select the Network Password setting, and choose an Encryption
option. There are several types of encryption you can use, but we recommend
WPA2, which is generally considered to be the most secure.
5. Enter your desired password. Make sure to use a strong password to help
ensure no one else can access your network.
6. Locate and select the Save button to save your settings.
That's it! Now you're ready to connect to your Wi-Fi network and make sure
it's working. The process for connecting to a Wi-Fi network will vary slightly
depending on what type of computer or device you're using, here is the three basic
steps.
1. Locate your computer's network settings, and search for nearby Wi-Fi
networks.
2. Select your network, and enter your password.
3. If the connection is successful, open your web browser and try navigating to a
webpage like www.google.com. If the page loads, it means your Wi-Fi connection is
working correctly.
12
What’s More
Please be reminded that when connecting devices with network cables, be sure
each end of the cable connects tightly. Loose cables are one of the most common
sources of network setup problems.
Identify the basic parts of a router. Write your answer in your worksheet or
notebook.
