3.10 Connecting and Configuring your Router

Each router is factory built for use with a particular service provider. Thus, each router is set to use particular

radio channels and to enable services specific to a provider.

Once your router has been activated with the network, connect your computer to the router using the

provided Ethernet (RJ-45) cable or Wi-Fi. You are now ready to use the Internet.

When connecting through Wi-Fi you must enter the unique password for your router. This can be found on

the sticker on the bottom of your router.
