How to create a home network

What is a network?

A network is any group of devices that can communicate with each other. A

home network can also include Internet access, which requires a router like

this one.

A typical home network may include multiple computers, a printer, a modem,

and a router. A large home network may also have a switch, additional routers,

access points, and many Internet-capable media devices such as TVs, game

consoles, and web cameras.

•Modem—Connects a computer or a router to your ISP (Internet Service

Provider). Your ISP may have provided one. The modem is a device that

connects to a phone jack or your cable TV outlet.

•Router—Connects your wireless and wired network devices to each

other and to the modem (and to your ISP).

•Switch—Allows you to connect several wired network devices to your

home network. Your router has a built-in network switch (the Ethernet

ports). If you have more wired network devices than available Ethernet

ports on your router, you will need an additional switch to consolidate

the wired connections.

How to set up a home network

Purchase the proper equipment. For a network that includes Internet

access, you’ll need:

•Computers with an Ethernet port or wireless networking capabilities

•A modem for connecting to your ISP (typically supplied by your ISP)

•A router to connect your computers with each other and to the modem

•Internet service to your home, provided by an ISP (Internet Service

Provider)

Make sure that your modem is working. Your ISP can help you set up your

modem and verify that it’s working correctly.

Set up your router. See “How to install your router” on page 6.

To connect a computer or other network device to the network, see

“How to connect a computer to your network” on page 11 and “How to

connect other devices”on page 12.

How to install your router

To install your router:

Power on your new router. If replacing an existing router, disconnect it.

Connect the Internet cable from your modem to the yellow Internet port

on your router. Wait until the power light on the front of the router is

solid.

Connect to the secure wireless name shown in the Quick Start Guide that

came with your router. (You can change the network name and password

later during router setup.) If you need help connecting to the network,

refer to your device documentation. Note: You will not have Internet

access until router setup is complete.

Open a web browser and follow the instructions to complete your

router’s setup. If instructions do not appear in the web browser, enter

linksyssmartwifi.com in the browser’s address bar.

At the end of setup, follow the on-screen instructions to set up your

Linksys Smart Wi-Fi account. Use Linksys Smart Wi-Fi to easily manage

your router’s settings, such as:

• Change your router’s name and password

• Set up guest access

• Configure parental controls

• Connect devices to your network

• Test your Internet connection speed

NOTE:

As part of the router setup process, you will be sent a verification

e-mail. From your home network, click the link in the e-mail to

associate your router with the Linksys Smart Wi-Fi account. Make

sure that the link opens in a supported web browser, such as

Internet Explorer 8 or higher, Firefox 8 or higher, Google Chrome 10

or higher, and Safari 5 (for Mac) or higher.

If you cannot click the link while behind your new Linksys router, log into

Linksys Smart Wi-Fi while behind the router and add your router there.

For more information, see “How to associate a router with your Linksys

Smart Wi-Fi account” on page 25.
