Computer Basics: Connecting to the Internet

We're going to show you how to get your devices connected to the Internet. If you have more than one device, or if you just want to use your device from anywhere in your home, we'll also show you how to create a Wi-Fi network.

There are many different types of Internet connections you can buy, and we'll talk about some of the pros and cons of the most common types.

If you create a Wi-Fi network, it's important to secure it with WPA2 or WPA3 encryption. This will allow you to create a password and prevent other people from connecting to your network.

Once you've created your Wi-Fi network, you'll be able to connect many different types of devices to the Internet: smartphones, tablets, computers, TVs, and more!

I’m so grateful for your lessons. I m actually enjoying it. To be frank, my start up company bought our first PC with a loan for my secretary 40 some years ago . Buy I never used myself . I must confess even though I bought myself A Sony cell phone & laptop then & never bother learning how to really using them properly. Now during this Pandemic crisis & election uncertainties with so much unfortunate darkness around, I finally see the light that I have to be self reliant to finish my KHARMA. SO i began with the very basic first class about computer with your wonderful easy to follow lessons. Bless you all! Connie sp chen

I never learned about internet because whenever I needed to fix the internet I didn't have internet and my dad would fix it for me and then when I had internet fixing it never came to mind because I didn't need to so therefore I never learned

Luckily, this time around I actually have access to data so I can look up how to set up internet in my new house and luckily I found a video that explains how the internet works and what I need to connect it perfectly and even simplifies it as well

In short, I'm glad I finally have access to data when I need to set up internet because before I couldn't access videos like this because I whenever I needed to fix my internet I didn't have internet or data
