A good Wi‑Fi setup makes everything faster and more reliable—streaming, video calls, and smart devices all benefit. Here’s a simple, no‑stress guide.

Setup basics

• Place the router in the center of the home and up high.
• Avoid hiding it in a cabinet or behind the TV.
• Use 5GHz for nearby devices; 2.4GHz for longer range.
• Name your network clearly (example: “SmithHome‑5G”).
• Set a strong password and don’t share it widely.

A quick walkthrough

1. Plug in the modem and router and wait for the lights to stabilize.
2. Connect a phone or laptop to the Wi‑Fi.
3. Open the router app or web page to finish setup.
4. Set a network name and password you’ll remember.
5. Update firmware if the router prompts you.

Helpful extras

• Create a guest network for visitors or smart home devices.
• Run a speed test after setup to confirm performance.
• Reboot once a month if things get flaky.

When to consider an upgrade

If you have lots of devices or dead zones, a Wi‑Fi 6 router or mesh system can make a big difference.
