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, 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.
