1. Connect the wireless access point to a router or modem. Using an Ethernet cable, plug one end into the access point and the other end into the router or modem.
2. Plug the access point into a power source.
3. Log into the access point’s interface. Use a computer to access the access point’s configuration page. This page will be located at a web address like http://192.168.1.1.
4. Change the network name (SSID). This is the name that will appear when searching for available networks.
5. Set up a secure password. This will be used to access the network and should be strong and unique.
6. Enable encryption. Choose a type of encryption, such as WPA2, and enter a strong encryption key.
7. Save your settings and restart the access point.
8. Connect your devices to the network. Use the network name and password that you just set up.
