How to connect to the internet with network devices

01 • Gather your equipment

To set up a LAN, you will need:

• A computer
• A network switch or a router
• An ethernet cables
• All the rest of your devices

If you want your LAN to connect to the internet, you'll also need:

• A broadband connection
• A router
• A modem

Start by plugging in your network switch or router and switching it on.

02 • Connect the first computer

Brand new network switch or router? The first thing you need to do is set it up. Do this by connecting it to a computer via an ethernet cable.

Using a network switch or router for the first time should bring up the 'Set up a network' wizard - an easy and simple way of getting things set up automatically.

If it doesn't appear, or if you've already used this router, go to the Network and Sharing Centre and select 'Set up a new connection or network'. You'll then be taken through the steps.

03 • Connect to the internet

The idea of a LAN is to connect different devices to each other - but if you want it to have internet access too, now's when you need to set it up.

If you already have a working router and broadband connection, you should just be able to plug in and go.

If you're setting up a new router and/or internet connection, on the other hand, you'll need to follow the instructions given to you by your broadband provider or router manufacturer.

Either way, you'll need to plug your router and modem into your home's main phone line, using the router's WAN port.
