Getting Connected with Router
Here are four important steps before you start configuring the router.
Internet connection – check whether the available internet connection works directly with a laptop or tablet, or not by attaching the Ethernet/ISP cable.
Router unbox – Typically, the router is accompanied by a manual that specifies its default router password and username. The router should preferably be located on a higher level and central.
Connect to the power source – it will take some time to boot your router. If the router is ready for use, a green light or information in the manual is usually specified.
Connect the router to the source of the Internet: Connect to the Internet port of the router with the broadband cable/DSL modem/ISP gateway cable. Typically this port is colored or placed in a different position.
