Once connected, your device will typically display a connection success indicator, such as a Wi-Fi icon on your phone or computer. You can also open your device’s network settings page to ensure it has successfully obtained an IP address, indicating a successful connection to the router.
Wi-Fi Connection:
- Open your device’s Wi-Fi settings.
- Find your router’s Wi-Fi name (also known as SSID) in the list of available networks.
- Click on your router’s Wi-Fi name and enter the password.
- Wait a few seconds until your device successfully connects to the router’s Wi-Fi network.
Wired Connection:
- Use an Ethernet cable to connect one end to your device’s network port (usually on the side or back of the device) and the other end to the router’s LAN port (usually on the back of the router).
- In most cases, no additional settings are required to automatically connect.
