Frequently Asked Questions

How does a Wi-Fi router or wireless router work?
A Wi-Fi router or a wireless router works by connecting directly to a modem via a cable. Through this connection, the router is able to receive and transmit information over the internet. Then with its built-in antennas, it sets up and establishes a connection with a Wi-Fi network. As a result, all devices on that particular Wi-Fi network will be able to access the internet.

How do I set up a Wi-Fi router or wireless router?
Place your router high enough in an open area in the center of the room and away from sources that may cause interference in connectivity. Then use an Ethernet cable and plug in your router’s WAN or Internet port. Next, with a mobile app or the router’s web-based dashboard, continue its setup. To log in, use the default username and password and change it. Now, update the router’s firmware and configure it to automatically install any firmware upgrades. Plus, set the router to the highest degree of security with WPA2 or WPA3 to protect your network and devices.

How do I bridge two wireless routers?
To bridge two wireless routers, first, check the secondary router for ‘bridge mode’. If it supports it, then connect the primary router to your computer using an Ethernet cable and type the public IP address in a web browser to access the admin panel. Next, go in the primary router’s settings, enable DHCP, give details, save changes, and disconnect this router from the computer. Now, connect the secondary router to the computer using an Ethernet cable and type the public IP address in a web browser to access the admin panel. Finally, go in secondary router’s settings to enable bridging. Select a public IP address similar to your primary router’s but not identical and save changes.
