Checking the connection and setting up the Internet connection
After we have connected the laptop to Wi-Fi via the router, we need to check the connection. To do this, open any browser and try to access any site. If everything works, then the connection is configured correctly.
If you are unable to connect to the Internet, then you need to check your connection settings. To do this, open the Control Panel and select “Network and Internet”. Next, select “Network Connections” and find the connection to the router. Right-click on it and select “Properties”.
In the window that opens, select “Protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” and click “Properties”. In the new window, select “Obtain an IP address automatically” and “Obtain DNS server address automatically.” If you have a special DNS, you can enter its address manually.
After the settings are saved, you need to restart your computer. If everything is configured correctly, then when you launch the browser you should be able to access any site.
Thus, connecting a laptop to Wi-Fi via a router is not a difficult task. The main thing is to configure the connection correctly and check its functionality.
Solving problems connecting to Wi-Fi through a router
When connecting to Wi-Fi through a router, various problems may arise that may interfere with your Internet browsing. The most common ones are low signal and no connection. Let's look at how to solve these problems.
1. Low signal
If you have a low Wi-Fi signal, then most likely the problem is in the location of the router. Try moving it to a different location, closer to the devices you are connecting to. You should also make sure that the router is in an open space and not near metal or concrete walls.
2. No connection
If your laptop does not connect to Wi-Fi through the router, then check that the password you entered is correct. If the password is entered correctly, try rebooting the router and laptop. If this does not help, then check the security settings on the router and make sure that your laptop is on the same network as the router.
By following these simple steps, you can resolve your Wi-Fi connection issues through your router and enjoy hassle-free internet browsing.
We protect the network from unauthorized access
When we connect our devices to a router, we trust it with our network. But how can we protect ourselves from unauthorized access to our network?
The first thing to do is change the default password to a more complex and unique one. It's also worth changing the Wi-Fi network name so that it's not easy to guess which network your router is connected to.
For additional security, you can enable WPA2-PSK mode, which will provide encryption of data transmitted through your network. You can also configure a MAC address access list to allow only certain devices to connect.
Don't forget to also update your router's firmware to close possible vulnerabilities and provide a higher level of security.
By following these guidelines, you can protect your network from unauthorized access and enjoy a secure Internet connection.
