Do You Know How To Connect Your PC To The Internet The Right Way?


Connect PC To Internet
When it comes to connect a computer to the internet, there are particular steps depending on the type of internet access. In homes, the access method is usually a small hardware unit known as modem. It connects to a physical medium supporting any fixed location services such as:

  •  Fiber optic cable
  •  Cable Internet (CATV) line 
  •  Phone line (for DSL)
  • Wireless antenna (for satellite and wireless broadband services)

Portable computer such as a tablet can be connected to fixed location networks but they also support mobile broadband internet access with the help of cellular networks. When the user is outside, these portable computers can connect to internet with Wi-Fi hotspots.

Configuring an Internet Gateway

Network gateway is a hardware device and joins a local network to the Internet. Modem connects to it on fixed location networks. Talking about home networks, they use a broadband router as the gateway device.

When using Wi-Fi hotspots or mobile broadband networks, the gateway hardware connecting a computer to the Internet is set up as well as maintained by the service providers.

An additional layer of internet gateway is served by the travel routers. They allow a group of devices to connect to the same internet service and exchange data with one another. Administrators configure travel routers to other types of consumer routers.

Configuring the Internet Client Device

To match the type of network gateway and internet service being used, it is required to set configuration parameters on a computer. Usual settings include:

  •  User name and password:to log in to internet services based on PPPoE 
  •  Wireless security key that matches the gateway: for Wi-Fi networks
  •  Choice of network by name (SSID): for Wi-Fi home networks and hotspots 
  •  Domain Name System (DNS), MTU and other servicesettings needed by the provider 
  •  Wi-Fi turned off: to connect using mobile broadband (cellular) networks

Troubleshooting Connection Issues

In wireless networking, one of the most common errors is entering incorrect security keys. On the other hand, cables plugged into wrong locations or loose cables are the most common errors in wired networking.

It is important to know that broadband modems must be connected to a home router uplink port.

Advanced Internet Connection Issues

There are times when one can set up two or multiple internet services on one device or on one home network. These multi-homed configurations keep the users connected the internet with less interruptions.

Last but not the least, an internet connection can be established; however, computers can still find it difficult to reach websites normally. Reason behind this is incorrect DNS configuration in the local network.
