Connecting and Customizing Your Internet Experience

Connecting to the Internet

First you must purchase a router. We recommend looking for these features.

  • Must have 10/100/1000 WAN port
  • Must have 3+ external antenna for better WiFi signal
  • Must have WiFi 6 (WiFi 6E or 7 is better but not required)
  • Suggested manufacture date no older than 5 years from this year

Connecting a router to an ethernet jack in your Cariad apartment involves a brief series of some fairly simple steps. This guide will help you set up your router for a seamless internet connection.

Remember, specific router models may have slightly different setup procedures, so always refer to your router’s manual for detailed instructions.

Here’s a general step-by-step guide to get you started:

Unbox your router and identify its components. Typically, this includes the router itself, a power adapter, an ethernet cable, and possibly an installation guide.

Your media panel is typically located in a storage area or in the closet. It is a white metal box in your wall that when you open it should have some Ethernet cables, and potentially some coax cables as well. One of the cables should be labeled as “HR” which is going to go into your WAN port on your router.

a. Plug the ethernet cable labeled “HR” into the WAN (Wide Area Network) port on your router. This port is often distinguished by its color or labeled as “WAN,” “Internet,” or has a symbol that resembles the globe.

b. If there are other cables labeled “BR” (for bedroom)  or “LR” (for living room) into the LAN ports on your router. This will allow ethernet connections on the ports located in the associated rooms where applicable.

c. Now all rooms in your apartment are connected.

a. Connect the power adapter to your router and plug it into a power outlet.

b. Switch on the router. Wait for a minute or two for the router to start up. You should see indicator lights turning on, usually one indicating power and another indicating internet connectivity.

Find the ethernet jack in your apartment. It’s usually located on a wall in living areas or bedrooms. This wall jack will have a ethernet jack labeled “CAT 6” and may share a coax connection in the same wall plate.

You can connect to your router either using a wireless connection or through another ethernet cable.

  • Wireless: Find the default WiFi network name (SSID) and password (often found on a sticker on the router itself) and connect to it using a smartphone, tablet, or computer.
  • Wired: Use another ethernet cable to connect your device’s ethernet port to one of the LAN (Local Area Network) ports on the router.

a. Open a web browser on your connected device.

b. Enter the router’s default IP address in the address bar (commonly 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1; check your router’s manual for the exact address).

c. Log in using the default username and password (often “admin” for both, found on the router or in its manual).

d. If your device is new, follow the setup wizard to configure your network settings. This may include changing your network name (SSID), setting a new password, configuring network encryption, and updating the router’s firmware. For many routers, if you do not complete this step, you will not be able to connect to the Internet.

Now that your router is set up, you can connect your devices to the internet by selecting your network’s name (SSID) from their Wi-Fi list and entering the password you’ve set up.

  • If you encounter any issues, such as no internet access or connection problems, try the following:
    • Check if all cables are securely connected.
    • Ensure the router is powered on and the correct lights are lit or blinking.
    • Restart your router by unplugging it from the power source, waiting for about 30 seconds, and plugging it back in.
    • Contact your internet service provider (ISP) to verify your service status or if you need further assistance with your connection settings.

Enabling Internet Access to All Wall Jacks

You can easily enable Internet to all your jacks in your apartment by connecting the rest of the ethernet cables within the media panel (potentially labeled “LR,” “BR” etc.) into the LAN ports on your router.
