Different Ways You Can Connect to the Internet

Whether you use the Internet in the home or on the go (or both), the Trek is your solution to a
better Internet experience.
The Trek gives you a way to connect to the Internet while away from home.
Do you want to connect your devices to the Internet at a WiFi hotspot? Connect your Trek to
the WiFi hotspot and then connect your devices to your Trek. The Trek's firewall protects
your personal devices from known DoS attacks and port scans from the Internet. For more
information, see

WiFi Connection at a Public Hotspot Setup

Do you want to connect your devices to your cellular service while traveling? Connect your
Trek to your cellular service and then connect your devices to your Trek (this feature is
available only in certain regions). For more information, see
page 23.
The Trek gives you a way to extend and expand the home network that you already have
with your existing Internet connection. Use the Trek for any of the following situations:
• Add a WiFi router to your home network.
Do you want to connect your wireless devices to your network? Convert your home
network into a home WiFi network. For more information, see
Home Setup on page 19.
• Extend the range of your home WiFi network.
Do you want to use your wireless devices at a greater distance from your WiFi router?
Extend the range of your WiFi router with a WiFi range extender. For more information,
see WiFi Range Extender Setup
• Bridge the distance to your Internet-ready TV.
Is your Internet-ready TV or other Ethernet-enabled device too far from your router for an
Ethernet cable connection? Bridge the distance with a WiFi bridge. Examples of
Ethernet-enabled devices include an Internet-ready TV, Blu-ray player, gaming console,
and desktop or laptop computer. For more information, see
page 21.
For information about reconfiguring your Internet connection after initial setup, see
Setup on page 37.
