Location Is Key
Install Your Router In A Central Location – The best place for your router is upstairs because most of your family members will use it throughout the day. Placing the router near an outlet ensures maximum coverage and allows for cords to reach more outlets. Our router is at the front of the house, but all our activities are at the back of the house. If you have the control over the location, then this is a great tip – Wifi for Mums has never been so easy!
Reconnect Your Device – After Installing Your Router
It’s essential to go through all of the steps to reconnect devices. If you have a lot of gadgets that need internet access, this process can take hours. Each device will require input from its manufacturer and a user manual for help in troubleshooting any problems. You should also be able to find tips by searching your device’s model number. This is a great tip that will help anyone, as well as us Mums!
Find The Right Spot
The ideal location for a router is in an open area that has no walls or obstructions nearby, such as other appliances. Think about how many devices will use the internet and where each of them typically sits so you can determine which areas require a solid signal to reach them. Also, keep in mind that a router must be plugged into an outlet and not behind other appliances or furniture because cords typically won’t stretch very far.
What You Will Need
One of the most common questions that I receive is how to properly install wifi. People’s biggest mistake when installing their home internet system is purchasing too much equipment at once only to find out later they don’t need it, wasting money in the process. Installing your home internet network requires a few simple tools: an indoor router, an outdoor wifi antenna (if needed), some coaxial cable wire, and possibly some electrical tape, depending on the installation process you choose to go with.
If you don’t want to risk drilling holes through walls, or if you have a brick exterior, then your installation process may include running some electrical tape along the cable to keep it safe from damage. In most cases, however, people will be able to run their coaxial wire behind baseboards and molding without any special tools needed on their end. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the device directly to the computer. This will allow you access to all its features, like setting up a new account and updating software. Make sure to shop around for excellent broadband packages to get the right deal for your home.
With these tips and tricks, you can rest assured that your brand new wifi for Mom’s installation will be a breeze. There is no need to call a professional or get frustrated trying to figure out what you’re doing wrong. Follow these simple guidelines and your router will be up and running in no time! Now that you know how to install your new router make sure the kids are using it safely. Don’t forget to keep your family safe when online! Do you have any wifi for mums tips?
