Ethernet port on your router. Plug the other end of the cable into the networking port on your computer.

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 WiFi. You are now ready to use the Internet.

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

the sticker on the bottom of your router.
