egin by finding a good place to set up your router/access point. Some things to
consider:
• You'll need to be able to plug your internet connection into it, so it should go within
reach of the LAN cable from your DSL or Cable modem. You'll also want a power outlet
nearby.
• Keep the access point as central in your work area as possible. Signal strength and
speed fall off with distance.
• Higher is often better. For instance, set it up on the top shelf of a bookcase rather than
the bottom one, if possible.
Do you need a password or other information to log in to your internet connection? Many
DSL connections require information like global IP address, subnet mask address, default
gateway address, DNS server address, or PPPoE parameters in order to connect. Cable
modems usually don't require extra information. If you have a DSL internet connection,
make sure that you have any necessary information handy before you continue. Your
Internet Service Provider can give you this information if you don't know it.
