Chapter 1: What You Need

To set up your wireless router, gather these items:

• Wireless router
• Power adapter
• Ethernet cable
• Internet modem (from your ISP)
• Computer or smartphone

Chapter 2: Unboxing & Physical Setup

Plug in the power adapter and connect it to the router. Place your router in a central, open area for better Wi-Fi coverage.

Chapter 3: Connecting the Router

Connect the modem to the router using the Ethernet cable. Plug one end into the modem and the other into the router's WAN/Internet port.

Chapter 4: Accessing Router Settings

Connect your device to the router (via Wi-Fi or Ethernet). Open a browser and go to the router's default IP address (often 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1). Log in using default credentials found on the router label.

Chapter 5: Change SSID & Password

In the Wi-Fi settings page, rename your network (SSID) and set a strong Wi-Fi password. Use WPA2 or WPA3 security if available.

Chapter 6: Secure Your Network

• Change default admin username/password
• Disable remote management (unless needed)
• Keep router firmware up to date
• Enable firewall and guest networks if supported

Chapter 7: Tips & Troubleshooting

• Reboot the router if internet is slow
• Factory reset if locked out (hold reset for 10 seconds)
• Contact ISP if you can't get online
• Use apps like Wi-Fi Analyzer to test signal strength
