A stable internet connection has become a major necessity for Indonesians, whether for work, study, or just entertainment. The most commonly used internet access is by using WiFi.

To ensure that the internet WiFi connection can run smoothly, router settings must be done correctly. Although it seems complicated, you can actually do your own router settings at home without the need to call a technician.

What is a router and why is setting it important?

A router is a network device that functions to connect two or more networks, for example a local network in your home with an internet network from an ISP (Internet Service Provider). Without a router, you cannot share an internet connection to various devices such as laptops, smartphones, or smart TVs via WiFi.

Therefore, it is important to set up the router before use, so that the internet connection runs optimally and safely.

Steps to Setting a Router Easily

Here is a practical guide on how to set up a router that you can do independently:

1. Connect the Router to Electricity and ISP Internet Source

Connect the router adapter to a power source. If the ISP Internet Source is an ONT with several LAN outputs behind the ONT, then you can connect a LAN cable from one of these LAN outputs to the WAN port on the router. If the ISP's Internet Source is a LAN Cable, you can directly connect

2. Access the Router Settings Page

Open a browser and enter the router's default IP address: generally 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1.
This IP address is also usually indicated on the bottom or back of the router device.
Login using the default username and password.
- Usually: Username: admin
- Password: admin or admin1234
If different, check the manual or label on the router.

3. Set up Internet Connection

Enter the Network or Internet Setup menu.
Select the connection type as given by your ISP:
- PPPoE: Enter the username and password from the ISP.
- Dynamic IP: Data such as IP, gateway, and DNS will be filled automatically
- Static IP: Enter manually according to the data from the ISP.
This information can usually be obtained when you first subscribe to the internet.

4. Set WiFi Name and Password

Enter the Wireless Settings or WiFi Settings menu.

Change the SSID (WiFi name) as desired.
Create a secure WiFi password:
- Minimum 8 characters
- Combination of uppercase, lowercase, and numbers (example: RumahWifi123)
Changing the name and password is important so that you can recognise your network and prevent strangers from accessing WiFi without permission.

5. Save Settings and Test Connection

Click the Save or Apply button to save the settings.
Restart the router so that all settings are applied perfectly.
After the router is active again, test the connection:
- Try connecting the device to WiFi.
- Open a web page to make sure the internet is running.

Setting up a router is not as complicated as you might think. With this guide, you can set up your own router without having to call a technician to come over. And, of course, this is more practical, time-saving, and can be a quick solution when a new internet connection is installed or needs to be reset.

If the above guidelines have been done correctly but the connected WiFi connection is still not optimal, then there is a possibility that the router device or internet package you are using is not suitable for your needs.
