Tips on How to Install Linksys Wireless Router Setup

Setting up a Linksys Wireless Router setup is pretty simple. Here are some tips to help you with it, as well as some guides to help you with troubleshooting the router.

The very first thing that you need to do is to look for a suitable location for your wireless router. Usually, people place the router near the location of the DSL or cable modem, but this is not recommended because these might cause some interference. Make sure that you have a protector strip that could handle everything, and it is best that you place it on some place where it is far from anything that could cause interference, such as the television.

· The CD that comes with the router is actually needed in the Linksys Wireless Router setup, but in case you lost it, you can go ahead and download it from the Linksys website at http://www.linksys.com/support. Doing this will save you a lot of trouble during the initial stage of your Linksys Wireless Router setup, especially if you want to give it a different name or if you need to set a network password during the configuration process.

· The next step is to connect the wireless router, and again, this part is relatively simple. First, you need to plug in the Ethernet cable that comes from your DSL or cable modem directly to the first port. This port is usually labeled in blue on the wireless router. If you can, you may run a line from this wireless router going directly to your computer, since it can also work as a 5-port hub. After that process is over, turn on the power and it should lighting up, a sign that it is already connecting.

· As soon as the router is plugged in and connected to the modem, the Linksys software will be able to detect it and it will start going through some options in order to configure the router. When prompted, be sure to assign a password to it, or else, you would be able to provide free Internet connection to anyone in your neighborhood.  This could cause some security problems, so do not ever forget to assign a password.

As you can see, setting up a Linksys Wireless Router setup is pretty simple. But make sure that you carefully follow these guidelines to achieve a good Internet connection.
