__ **Setting up a small network: Wireless Network (at home)** __
You need some things to start the set-up your Wireless Network; first you will need a Wireless Connection, a Wireless Router, and a laptop that supports the Wireless feature.



The router converts the signals coming across your Internet connection into a wireless broadcast. Be sure to get a wireless router, and not a wireless access point. A wireless access point (WAP) is a device that allows wireless communication devices to connect to a wireless network using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth.

__Your Wireless Router __
First, locate your cable modem (Blue Cable). Next, connect your wireless router to your modem. Your modem should stay connected directly to the Internet. Later, after you've hooked everything up, your computer will automatically connect to your router, and the router will send signals through your modem to the Internet. Next, plug in and turn on your plug. Wait a few minutes to give it time to connect to the Internet, and then plug in and turn on your wireless router. After a minute, the Internet, WAN (Wide Area Network), or WLAN light on your wireless router should light up, indicating that it has successfully connected to your modem.

**__ Configure your wireless router __**
Using the network cable that came with your wireless router, you should temporarily connect your computer to one of the open network ports on your wireless router (any port that isn't labelled Internet, WAN, or WLAN). If you need to, turn your computer on. It should automatically connect to your router. Next, open your Web Browser and type in the address to configure your router.
