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.
