So congratulations. You just got your first router, and that's basically what it looks like. It has all these little ports in the back, and I'll give you a little explanation of what they are. So it's really simple. There are basically two kinds of ports. One is called the LAN, and you would usually get multiple ones of that. So you will get, in this case, four. Usually it's four. Sometimes it's three. And these go to every computer that you have or every device that you want to connect to your network. You can also detect the devices wirelessly, of course, because this is a wireless router. But we'll get to that a little bit later.
Right now the more important connection we're looking for is something called WAN, or sometimes it will say "Uplink" or even "Internet" on it. And what this port does is connect to the internet, basically. Your modem will go right here. So in this case I have a little cable modem right here, and I'm going to hook it up. So I'm going to connect this router to the modem using this little ethernet cable that I have here. So one side will go to here, and the other one will go to the modem. On the modem side, it will usually be a little simpler. You just have one connection, so where it fits, it goes.
The next thing I want to do is unplug the modem from the electricity. Now this is sometimes not important, but most of the time, most modems need to be kind of reset before you can get them working with a new device. While it's sitting there unplugged, I can take another ethernet cable and hook it up to my computer. So I'm going to use one of the four LAN ports in the back. It doesn't really matter which one. They should all work. And I'm just going to put it in, and then I'm going to put the other side into my nifty little computer.
So what is happening right now is basically the computer is talking to the router, and it's asking it for something called an IP address, which is kind of like a number that tells the computer, "This is who you are on my network." Now once it gives it an IP address, which it happened very, very fast and basically automatically, I'm going to use either the web browser or the CD that came with the router to set it up. And the setup will take us through the process of telling the router A, what kind of internet connection are we using.
So if you're using a cable modem, most of the time it will be a completely automatic setup. You will just plug it in, and it will work. Or if you're using a DSL modem, sometimes you'll have to enter a user name and password for the router to know how to connect to the internet using the modem. the second thing you will set up that's very important is your wireless network. So you'll set up the name of your wireless network and the password that will protect your wireless network from, you know, nosy neighbors or people you don't want to go on your files.
The last thing that I recommend setting up is the router password. Now the router password is different from the wireless password, because the wireless password just limits access to the internet for all the wireless devices. But the router passwords protect all the settings that are on the router. So for example, if you want to change the wireless password, or if you want to limit the way people connect to the internet or set up a firewall, all these things are done with the router password. And it's very important that the router password is different than the wireless password. - Навчання та стиль

e-web.top/best-sellers-in-computer-routers I just walked through our apartment; between my husband and me, I count 25 web-enabled devices. That number doesn’t include light bulbs. Most of these gadgets are connected to the Internet *at this moment.*
Our friends make fun of us because we have totally embraced the concept of the “Internet of Things.” Besides the usual gadgets (iPads, phones, game consoles), we use a Nest thermostat, a Nest Cam, Philips Hue bulbs, an Amazon Echo on our kitchen countertop, and a Sonos.
Far from automating our home, we’ve instead created a TON of headaches for ourselves. We live in a waking nightmare. The “Internet of Things” is here, and it’s miserable.

I never understand why ppl play music in the background when doing tutorial videos. It's obvious ppl are trying to learn & the loudness of the music is really distracting. Competing sounds is not good.

I wish someone would make a video like this and say, "Now unplug your modem...and by all laws of physics you shouldn't be able to continue listening to me."
not for a long time , but for a time , listening continuation is possible , or maybe they assumed you have the video downloaded
My router has working wifi but the internet won’t work. What do I do?

I hate it when someone downstair unplug the router. Its a router but they decided just to use the modem wtf, i need that router plug in.
Thank you! This was super helpful to my technologically challenged self. :)
This vid is older than me by 1 day
remember when macbooks had dvd drives
how can the computer talk to the router when he doesn't have the modem plugged in
So True!!!
Thank you, but didn't you miss the part where I should actually enter some details to set up the router.
I am sure there is a part where I should enter something like a default IP address made up of four sets of digits with dots between them.No?
I may have missed it.
I agree
Hello, sir! Thank you for the video. I have a question, my wifi router does not come with a modem, so can I still use the internet connection and connect to wifi or do I need to purchase a wifi modem?
You need a modem. There is no wifi modem since modems only connect your home network to your internet provider's network. There are gateway devices that include a modem, router, and wifi all in one unit though.
@@JJFlores197 thank you for the information, but I found out about that already. Nonetheless, I nearly bought a wifi router and its set
Thank you. Very helpful. Our VOIP has been down for weeks - finally got it working again with the internet thanks to your video!
what's the point in hooking up a computer to an ethernet cable via the router? why wouldn't you just plug right into the modem? i mean they're legit right next to eachother. if you need to be wireless and away from the modem, just use the wifi from the router, obviously. and if you're gonna be close to the modem, then just hook up the ethernet cable from the modem to the PC. Im lost. whats the point in all of this?
The modem will only allow 1 device on the internet at a time. So it would be extremely inconvenient to have to unplug your computer to plug in another device. And plus, your PC would be exposed to the internet which is not a good thing from a security perspective. That's where the router comes into play. A router allows you to share a single internet connection with multiple devices. You plug a network cable from the router's WAN port (sometimes labeled as Internet) to the modem's ethernet port. This gives the router internet access which in turn gives your PCs and wireless devices access to the internet.
There are combo units which consolidate all of this into 1 unit where you have an ISP provided gateway which does the modem, routing, switching, and Wi-Fi all in one box.
Thank you. Everyone else gets so technical.
Background music WAYYY too loud...and 100% unnecessary.
This video is old dumbass
Thanks McLovin!
So I recently got a router and I'm not sure if I'm suppose to plug in the Ethernet cable into the wall? Does it need to be plugged in the wall( Ethernet plug )?
Sir, very clear explanation and informative. Thanks
This is weird, we use one device that works as modem/router at the same time
I like how people dislike for no reason
McLovin!
Thank you everyone is like hay it's Adam Sandler
You look like that guy from the a movie mic loving lol
lmao yea
You mean Superbad?
I got zhe router while watching this and i got 3 of these cables and bam i setup it!
It's not that easy. I have a WLAN modem and a Wi-Fi router. I had to start the router, search for it's WI-Fi network (search in your computer Wi-Fi settings then click show available networks. So open an internet browser (blank page), connect to your router (mine was showing as Asus, the brand), and the browser should automatically load a router setup up page. Skip all the settings and just go for the Internet connection settings to put a password to secure your network. Then restart your modem, connect it to the router with the Ethernet cable, and click on the wireless icon and connect to your wireless network with the password you just set. But remember you have to reboot the modem.
Okay I have Frontier the newer router version but there is a red light and I don't know what it is most of them are green beside the blue light which the internet the red light is like scribble line and its the second one do know what that is
Very informative and clearly explained, even if it's simple
Throwback when Macbooks had plenty of useful ports.
I could not connect. The internet light is orange. What can I do! I dont understand the problem.
I don’t have that port on my new MacBook Air and my computer isn’t by the router?
Music it’s to much noisy we can’t focus without music it’s better
so you need a router, a modem but what if you have the new macbook w/o a cd part and ethernet cable socket?
Connect wireless
What is the purpose of background music? You are teaching something and you ruin by the music. COM ON PEOPLE!
not sure if you'd see this since this video came out 9 years ago but, when I use ethernet it disconnects every device using the wireless network and my pc that's using the ethernet is the only one that gets internet connect, which is annoying, so I have 4 ports underneath my modem box and 5 behind my router and and when I plug my ethernet cable into any port it would disconnect every wireless connection and onmy give me a wired one and I'm not sure which search terms to use to find a solution on UA-cam but yea.
What's the model number of your router/modem? I would try unplugging the router and modem from power for about a minute or two and then plug them back in. See if that helps. If not, you may need to do a factory reset. If it still doesn't help, you may need to replace the router.
*NO LAPTOP HAS A ETHERNET PORT NOWADAYS*
A lot do, but more and more manufacturers are starting to follow the lead of Apple and ditch everything useful.
hinimee but i have a xbox one hehe....
I have a gaming laptop and it has
lan is so good
hinimee sadly the only way now a days for most laptops is to get an Ethernet converter
Thanks so much finally worked
How about some pc screen set up showing people how to do it this is useless for beginners.
can you ask your neighbour to turn his music down :-)
Good video, but music is too annoying
I think it's crazy in 2019 that I NEED a laptop to set up my internet connection. Not a PS4, smart TV , or tablet which I have all tried, you NEED a laptop.
A phone http:/ will to the work
Or a desktop.
If adam sandler and mclovin had a child.
I'm still confused
I thought I was the only one :D
captain peyton same
Did u watched the video very clearly?
He mad it confusing at first cause he connected the router to the modem with it plugged in, when it shouldn’t be plugged in when you first connect them
Wait this is real? I thought it was a comedy channel
Turn up the music, it's not loud enough, it needs to completely drown out the guy's voice if you want to be effective
I didn't even make it a minute into this video. The music was so distracting that I couldn't even make out what he was saying.
Hahah this is for geezers. "The computer is talking to the router"
Yo his hairline looks like a iphone x notch 2:02(pause)
George Lmao ur right
Oh jeez I forgot to unplug my modem to let it reset and I bet that's the problem I've been having for days. Thanks dude, loved you in Happy Gilmore.
now I wontr be disconnecting from the internet every FIVE MINUTES
What if my router is not right next to my computer?
i have the same problem
Either get a longer wire or use power-line adapters
then get a wireless router
dats Background Music is boring... disturbing..... aaaaaarrrrhgggghhh
My modem has a broadband out port but it doesn't seem to work. I have an Arris dsl modem that when I connect to the broadband out port the internet light goes out and my router doesn't detect internet through it. Any ideas. Note that they are 2 different ip setups (.0.1 and .254.254)
I'm not super computer savy, but this, I understood. Thank you!!
What the hell is all that noise in the background? It's louder than you.
Its amazing video and it also help IT students with the procedure how to see it practically thanks so much for this video
Ohhhhhh.... So that's why the pre-assessors assigned to make three UTP network wires with different color code like type A, B and crossover.
With the speakers slight lisp, the music distracts from what he is saying. Turn it down or off.
how on Ps4?
Aynko you'll need to destroy your ps4 and get a PC
Its on the back of ps4 use ethernet cable connect to ps4 to your router
Care Package in this video the guy sets up the router with only like 2 cables. I have a nintendo switch and I want to use Ethernet. So will it be just like that in the video or similar
When your replace an old routers it doesn't have old network name anymore. It also doesn't have some IP address. How do I get past this part?
On the new router, you can change its settings. You can change the SSID (Wifi name) and password to that of the old wifi network. That way, your devices automatically connect to your new router. You'll have to login to the router to configure it. In general, you go to its management IP address on your browser and login. The details are usually on a label on the bottom or side of the router. A lot of routers also have an app that they try to push onto you to use that you can use to configure it. As far as the router not having some IPs, I'm not quite sure what you mean by that.
How can we hear you with that loud background music.
The music in the background is louder than the voice.
I was wondering bc I want to buy a router off ebay but I don't know if I can get WiFi from just a router or I need to get a broadband and pay monthly and stuff
You can get wifi from just the router, but you won't get internet. Wifi and internet aren't the same thing, even though a lot of people seem to think otherwise. If you want internet, you'll need to purchase a service plan from an internet provider in your area.
I just realised how would people without internet watch this

I have two computers one on each floor. I’m using ethernet connection to them. I have two modems. One is active on the second floor. The second modem on the first floor isn’t active. How can I active it without getting a second bill?
So i/we need an extra modem to have a wired connection!? Shoot that's disappointing. I only have a routa, awwww that stinks
I just wanted to know how to get the ethernet to reach my pc
just connect one side of the cabe to the PC , and the other to one of the lan ports on the router/modem
Masked Redstoner Pro Z I think you responded a little too late
@@maskedredstonerproz also what I meant was that I thought the landline port in the wall was for extending the Ethernet somehow, because it looks the same as an ethernet port
@@bambampewpew32 it isn't , it's for connecting the landline phone
@@maskedredstonerproz I just said that lmao

Not helpful. He seems to have two wires in the router. I only wanted to know if the router needs to be plugged into electricity or not.
🤦🤦 Of course. Routers require electricity to work. They don't work on magic.

In 3min27 you said way more than my Network teacher during 2 semesters.
Why do you need to plug it to the laptop? Isn't it supposed to be wireless? My cable network card is busted and I can on;y use wireless. If the ethernet network card is busted what do I do?
Does anyone know if u need to have a computer to connect too or can I connect this router too my Wii for WiFi only ?
No you don't need it connected to a computer, you can if you want to configure it change the password etc. But obviously it is not a requirement to connect it to a computer.
I have two ISP AND I'm using two network cables from those ISP,can I bond the two using speedyfy
how that router getting internet at first place?
There are several ways
- Fiber optic (The fastest)
- ADSL (telephone internet)
- VDSL (Faster telephone internet)
- Cable internet
And all of that is done by your ISP
But like how r we suppose to watch it without wifi?
I cannot send emails. Is there something I need to do?
