LAN Setup Guide

Description

A home network works well when the equipment is connected and configured in the right order, and this mini-course explains that order. It starts with understanding your equipment, then sets up the router and modem connection, wired connections with Ethernet cables and wireless settings.

Later lessons show how to connect multiple devices, apply basic network security and password protection, and troubleshoot common connection issues. The final lessons cover sharing files and printers, setting up guest network access and monitoring performance. Tables in the PDFs summarize settings and options. The lessons follow the order in which a network is built, so you can work through them with your equipment in front of you.

Who it is for: home users who want to set up and maintain their own network.
