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
1.  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)
2.  Make sure that your modem is working. Your ISP can help you set up your 
modem and verify that it’s working correctly.
3.  Set up your router. See “How to install your router” on page 10.
4.  To  connect  a  computer  or  other  network  device  to  the  network,  see
