Router Setup
Routers are a little tricky. First you have to know what router you have. Then you must log into the router. This is normally started by opening your web browser (Internet Explorer for example) and typing in the IP address of your router. Below is a reference for many of the brands of routers out there. If you can't find the model number either on the router or in the list below, try all the settings listed for the brand of router you have.
If you can't log in, you may need to re-start your computer (with it plugged in to the router). If it still doesn't work, check to make sure you don't have a static IP address in your computer - this must be removed. If you still can't log in with the information below, call us and we will help you through figuring it out.

Once you have logged in, you will need to find where in the configuration screens the "WAN or "Internet Connection" settings are. Once you have found it, set the connection type to static and enter the IP information we gave you. Then hit the button for "Save" or "Apply" or whatever sounds close. Again, if you are having trouble, feel free to call us.
