What’s New
Network Interface Card, short as NIC, is an important hardware component

used to provide network connections. With its wide applications, there are various
types of network interface cards emerging in the market like Peripheral Component
Interconnect Express Card (PCIe) and Server Network Card (SNC). In this lesson, we
will have a full exploration of this hardware component from what is a network
interface card to its function, components, and types.
2
What Is It
NETWORK INTERFACE CARD

NIC used to connect your computer on a local data network or the internet. It
converts digital into electrical signal that passes through communication cable, and
networking device and back to digital information to its end user so computer can
exchange information.
With its wide application, Network Interface Card (NIC) has various types
emerging in a market like PCI card, PCIe card and server network card, and with this
we can configure the hardware components from its meaning, function and types.
Network Interface Card (NIC) / Network Adapter / Local Area Network Card
(LAN Card)/ Ethernet card is a very important hardware component used to connect
a computer over a network through wireless and wired communication. This provides
a dedicated network connection through a network. This NIC configures depending
on a network design such as Static IP and Dynamic IP used in communication.
NIC functions as a middleman between computers on a computer network. In
TCP/IP layer working as an interface which transmits signal pass through coaxial
cable, fiber cable, UTP cable depending of what types of cable are used, and convert
it into data packets at a network layer which is your networking device and back
again to digital information so computers will have a reliable communication.
Network interface card can be classified into two types based on its
transmission speed and application fields. They are the Internal Network Card and
External Network Card.
Two Types of Network Interface Card
1. Internal Network Card – The Internal card has two types. First is the Industry
Standard Architecture (ISA) and the second one is the Peripheral Component
Interface Card. Computers nowadays include network capability (ISA type)
which is already built-in the mother board because of its nearly use of
universal internet. Ethernet is standard for a computer that describes
communication technology, a separate network card is not needed unless you
need to connect it into other type of network. The other type of internal card
is the PCI type inserted in your PCI slot in your mother board, also the PCIe
type needs a UTP cable to connect through a network.
2. External Network Card – Desktop and laptop that do not have internal NIC
use external card. Most of the laptops use wireless network or USB network
that is inserted in your motherboard and do not require a network cable to
connect to the internet. Advantages of this is you can carry your laptop
anywhere you go and you can easily connect through Wi-Fi connectivity.
3
NIC has a Bus Interfaces Based Classification (BIBC), it has the Industry
Standard Architecture (ISA); Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI); Peripheral
Component Interconnect Extended (PCI-X); Peripheral Component Interconnect
Express (PCIe); and the Universal Serial Bus Network Interface Card (USB-NIC).
Some of these are no longer recognized nowadays and are hard to find in the market.
PCI is standard for a 32 bit-133 MB/s and a 64-bit 266 MB/s transmission of data.
PCI-X is a 64-bit MB/s that is capable of transmission of data up to 1064 MB/s.
PCIe is the latest release of NIC and it is widely used for computers and servers. USB-
NIC is an external bus standard designed for Wi-Fi connection.
NIC also has its transmission speed-based classification, the faster the speed the
more reliable the internet connection is. It ranges from 10/100 MB/s up to 1GB/s
speed to communicate with other computers on a network.
Configuring Network Interface Card affects data transmission whether you are
using static IP address and Dynamic IP address, cable used on a network, networking
device. We can see different types of IP address in configuring NIC depends on how
you configure it on a network or in a server network.
Static IP Address and Dynamic IP Address
Static IP address
It is an IP address that manually configures for a device instead of one that is
assigned by a DHCP server. It is called static because it does not change compared
to a Dynamic IP address.
Routers, phones, tablets, desktops, laptops, and other devices which use an IP
address can be configured to have a static IP address. This can be done through the
device giving out IP addresses (like the router) or by manually typing the IP address
into the device from the device itself.
Dynamic IP Address
A Dynamic Internet Protocol address (Dynamic IP address) is a temporary IP
address that is assigned to a computing device or node when it’s connected to a
network. A dynamic IP address is an automatically configured IP address assigned
by a DHCP server to every new network node.
Dynamic IP addresses are generally implemented by Internet Service Providers

(ISP) and networks that have a large number of connecting clients or end-nodes.
Unlike static IP addresses, dynamic IP addresses are not permanent. A dynamic IP
is assigned to a node until it is connected to the network; therefore, the same node
may have a different IP address every time it reconnects with the network.
Dynamic means "constantly changing". The prefix dyna means power; however,
dynamic IP addresses are not more powerful, but they can change (or be changed).
4
Pros and Cons between Static and Dynamic IP addresses:
Static IP Address:
Pros Cons
1. Running Server 1. Easier to track
2. Stability information 2. Require to disclose them
3. Simplicity 3. Limits the users
4. Better for a dedicated server
Dynamic IP Address:
Pros Cons
1. Security 1. Network traffic
2. Lower cost 2. Network Failure
3. Automatic Network Configuration 3. Less reliable
Automatic Private Internet Protocol Address (APIPA)
APIPA is short for Automatic Private IP Addressing, a feature of Windows

operating systems, meant for non-routed small business environments, usually less
than 25 clients.
With APIPA, DHCP clients can automatically self-configure an IP address and

subnet mask when a DHCP server is not available. When a DHCP client boots up, it
first looks for a DHCP server in order to obtain an IP address and subnet mask.
APIPA usually starts with an IP 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.254.254, and the

subnet is 255.255.0.0. Client computers receive APIPA once a client does not receive
any information.
5
Network Connectivity Settings using Packet Internet Gopher (PING)
PING is a method or a computer network administrator software utility used to

determine the network connection or reachability of the host computer to an IP
network. Ping software sends a request to a website, and times the receipt of replay
(echo) called pong.
PING measures the roundtrip for messages sent from the originating host to a
destination computer that is echoed back to the source.
PING operates by sending Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo

request packets to the target host waiting for an ICMP echo reply. The program
reports errors, packet loss, and a statistical summary of the results, typically
including the minimum, the maximum, the mean round-trip times, and the standard
deviation of the mean.
The command-line options of the ping utility and its output vary between the
numerous implementations. Options may include the size of the payload, count of
tests, limits for the number of network hops Time To Leave(TTL) that probes traverse,
interval between the requests and time to wait for a response.
You can use ping to determine the connection between devices or on a web
site.
Example:
ping www.google.com or ping 192.168.1.10
6
Network Connectivity Settings using IP configuration (ipconfig)
It is a command line tool to determine the network connection. There are three
commands “all”, “release”, and “renew”. Ipconfig displays all current TCP/IP
network configuration values and refreshes Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) and Domain Name System (DNS) settings. It is used without parameters,
Ipconfig displays the IP address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway for all adapters.
A windows command line utility that is used to manage the IP address assigned
to the machine which is running in. It uses without any additional parameters and
displays the computer's currently assigned IP, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway
addresses.
Reporting Displays
no switch IP, subnet mask & default gateway addresses

What’s New
Importance of Configuring Networking Devices
In previous lessons, we have discussed different types of networking devices.

There are the advantages and disadvantages, and the functions and usages of these
devices. Configuring network devices is necessary in configuring network.
Generally speaking, network devices are the devices that are necessary to
build a network and to keep communication flowing. Network devices include hubs,
routers, switches, repeaters, and wireless access points. These devices must be
configured, and include firmware which must be updated.
In a broader sense, network devices are the end devices that are connected to
each other via the network, i.e. the devices for which the network is used: computers,
printers, media servers, VoIP phones, etc.
In this module we are going to configure some devices available in the

market today, such as router, repeater, wireless router and access point.
Remember that every manufacturer of these devices has different ways in
configuring it so it is important to read the manual carefully or look in the internet
on how these devices are configured.
What Is It
Router Configuration (Linksys router)

In this module, you will need a working ethernet port in your laptop or desktop
computer.
Step 1: Resetting
■ Connect the power cord.
■ Unplug ALL Ethernet connections.
■ Press the reset button for at least 15
seconds.
Step 2: Cable Setup

■ Connect your computer (PC or MAC) to the WAN
port, only.
WAN port is usually separated from LAN port.
13
Step 3: Accessing Router
■ Open your browser (Chrome, Firefox,

Safari) with the computer connected to
the Router.
■ Type the IP address found in your
wireless settings in your browser. The IP
address is embedded at the back of your
router device or read the manual to
determine IP address. Most IP addresses
start with 192.168.1.1.
■ Press Enter.
The username and password menu will
appear.
The username and password will depend
on the manufacturer of your networking
device.
Some networking devices use “Admin” as username. Password can be
"admin", or "password".
■ Click “OK”.
Default Screen Linksys Router
Step 4: Configure Wireless SSID

■ Click “Wireless”.
■ Click “Basic Wireless Settings”.
■ Enter a desired name into the
“Wireless Network Name (SSID)”
field.
■ Click “Save Settings”.
Step 5: Configure Wireless with WPA

Security Key
For WPA
■ Click “Wireless”.
■ Click “Wireless Security”.
■ Select “WPA Pre-Shared Key” in
the “Security Mode” field.
■ Set the “WPA algorithm” to “AES”.
■ Type in your personalized
password. It should be between 8
14
and 32 characters- the longer the better. Make sure it is something you
can remember but hard to guess.
■ Click “Save Settings”.
Step 6: Final Setup

■ Connect your laptop through wireless
connection using the username and
password you created.
Step 8: Verification
■ Click Windows + R --type “cmd”
under the Open field, and click “OK”.
■ Type ipconfig on command line interface.
Your IP Address should now begin with 192.168.1.x, same as your
router IP address but different on the fourth octet, if this is NOT the
case, go back to Step 1 and try again.
How do I configure the Linksys access point

The Linksys WAP54G is designed to be configured in different modes
depending on the model used.
Setting up the Access Point as an access point

Step 1:
Follow steps 1 – 4 in configuring router.

Step 2:
Click on “Wireless” on the

web-based setup page.
Step 3:
Enter the “Network Name

(SSID)”.
The “SSID Broadcast” should be set to “Enabled” so that the wireless devices
will be able to detect the wireless
network of your Linksys access point.
Step 4:
Click “Wireless Security” and select

your desired
Security Mode.
15
WPA2-Personal
Enter your desired password in the

“Passphrase” field.
Your Linksys access point is now

successfully configured.
Other things to remember

Linksys access point can also be set up
as a “Wireless Repeater”. This mode
will turn the access point into a wireless
repeater to extend the range of your
wireless signal.
● Linksys Wireless-G Access Point

(WAP54G)
● Linksys Wireless-G Router
(WRT54G)
Configuring the Wireless Repeater mode on most Linksys Smart

Wi-Fi Routers
Step 1:
Enter “http://192.168.1.1” in your web browser’s Address bar and log
in to your Linksys Smart Wi-Fi router.
QUICK TIP: The default IP

Address of the Linksys router is
192.168.1.1. If you have modified
it, use the new IP Address instead.
Step 2:
Click “Connectivity”.
Step 3:
Click “Internet Settings”.
Step 4:
Click “Edit”.
16
Step 5:
Select “Wireless Repeater”.
Step 6:
Enter the main router or access
point’s “Network name (SSID)”,
“Network band and Security
mode”.
Step 7:
Click “Ok” to save settings. Click “Yes” to continue.
Once your Linksys Smart Wi-Fi router is turned into a Wireless Repeater,
you will need to check on your main router or access point’s DHCP Table for the
new IP Address of your Linksys Smart Wi-Fi router.
If the Linksys Smart Wi-Fi router cannot find the main router or access
point, you will receive the following message. Clicking Ok will take you back to the
Internet Settings tab where you left off.
NOTE: You will not be able to save the settings if the Linksys Smart Wi-Fi
router cannot find the network.
When in Wireless Repeater mode, you will only have access to the
Connectivity, Troubleshooting and Wireless tools that are supported under
Repeater mode.
● Connectivity – This tool allows you to edit the Wireless Repeater

settings under the Internet Settings tab.
● Troubleshooting – This tool allows you to diagnose and troubleshoot
connectivity issues on your network.
17
● Wireless – This tool allows you to broadcast both frequency bands and
customize both wireless settings on the router setup as Wireless
Repeater mode.
NOTE: To edit or change the wireless settings of the radio being

repeated, go to Connectivity > Internet Settings tab.

What’s New
Introduction:
When designing a network, a network switch is effectively its core, or

its “brain”. It is a networking hardware that connects all devices together on
a LAN (Local Area Network), redirecting and forwarding data to the correct
destination. When running a business, it is important to ensure that you have
a network switch that helps you effectively cover the needs of your entire
information technology scope.
Switches come in various sizes that allow them to have any number of
ports up to 48, but the differences go deeper than that when it comes to
managed and unmanaged switches. In this module, we are going to define the
two types. We shall look at the differences between them to help you decide
which is right for you.
What Is It
Network Switch: Managed and Unmanaged
Network switch is the most effective way of designing a network. It is the

networking hardware that connects all devices together on a Local Area Network. The
Network switch is the one which redirects and forwards data to its destination. It is
important to ensure that you have a network switch in designing a network.
The difference between managed and unmanned switches is that an
unmanaged switch allows you to immediately plug and play devices into your
network, while a managed switch allows a greater control over it.
Features
An unmanaged switch is simple, connecting ethernet devices with a fixed
configuration that you cannot make any changes to. It is often used for small
networks or to add temporary groups of systems to a larger network. A managed
switch, on the other hand, also allows you to manage, configure, and monitor the
settings of your LAN, including controls over LAN traffic, prioritizing certain
channels, and creating new virtual LANs to keep smaller groups of devices segregated
and to better manage their traffic. Managed switches also offer redundancy features
that duplicate and recover data in the event of a device or network failure.
Performance
The advantage of unmanaged switches when it comes to performance is that
you can plug and play immediately with your network. There is no need to set
anything up, and it has in-built QoS services to ensure it is working well. With a
managed switch, however, you can prioritize channels at will, ensuring that you get
25
the best performance where you need it. Furthermore, features like prioritized Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP), which allows for remote troubleshooting of
the network, also makes it even easier to check for any issues impacting that
performance, thus allowing you to implement fixes if necessary.
Security
An unmanaged switch has basic security features. They are secured by
ensuring you have no vulnerabilities from systems to systems which are accessible
to all devices. while the managed switch has one major security benefit, such as the
ability to monitor and control the network to shut down the entire thread.
Cost
Cost comparison between managed switch is cheaper than the unmanaged
network switch. But this device is also dependent on the number of ports in your
switches.
Some Capabilities of Managed Network Switch
▪ Manage communication on each port, they may prohibit communications

between a port group and another group. This allows a part of ethernet ports
to a specific port to prohibit internet access by prohibiting the communication
to the ADSL router.
▪ Prohibit Communications between certain IP addresses.
▪ Create a group of users via the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP).
▪ Manage the quality of network cabling by displaying the statistics of
collisions on each port.
▪ Hardware firewall and manageable switch layer block applications through
ports. If the program is trying to pass through a blocked port, there will be no
communications at all.
▪ Hardware firewalls detect frames modifications.
▪ Router transmits communications between networks of different addresses
classes using Network Address Translator (NAT) or Protocol Address
Translation (PAT), it is not manageable.
Firewall
A firewall is a network security device that monitors incoming and outgoing

network traffic and permits or blocks data packets based on a set of security rules.
Its purpose is to establish a barrier between your internal network and incoming
traffic from external sources such as an internet connection in order to block
malicious traffic like viruses and hackers.
Firewall works by analyzing carefully incoming traffic based on pre-

established rules and filter traffic coming from unsecured and suspicious sources to
prevent attacks. It guards your computer data or server entry point, called ports, in
which the internet is connected.
Types of Firewall
A firewall is either a software or hardware device but it is recommended to
protect both your computer and server from the unwanted hackers. A software
firewall is a program installed on a computer; most firewalls are included in the
operating systems installed in your computer. A physical firewall is an equipment
installed between computer and a router.
26
Packet Filtering
Firewalls can be effective; they provide basic protection. It can determine if the
contents of the request that is being sent will adversely affect the application. If a
malicious request is allowed from a trusted source, the result will be the deletion of
a database.
Packet filtering firewalls are divided into two:
• Stateless Firewall - It examines packets independently of one another

and lacks context, making them easy targets for hackers.
• Stateful Firewall – It remembers information about previously passed

packets and is considered more secured.
Next Generation Firewalls (NGFW) – It is a combination of traditional firewall

technology with additional functionality. It deeply examines the data within the
packet itself, enabling users to identify packets with malicious data.
Proxy Firewalls - It filters traffic within the application level. Request is

evaluated against a set of security rules and then permitted or blocked. It acts
as an intermediary between two end systems.
Network Address Translation (NAT) – It allows multiple devices with

independent network addresses to connect to the internet using a single IP
address, keeping individual IP addresses hidden. Provides greater security
against attack.
Stateful Multilayer Inspection (SMLI) Firewalls - It filters packets at the

network transport, and application layer, comparing them against known
trusted packets.
How to Turn on the Firewall on Windows 10?

1. Click “Windows Keys + R”.
2. Type “Settings” then “Enter”.
3. Click “Update and Security”.
4. Click “Windows Security”.
5. Click “Firewall and Network Protection”.
6. Open “Windows security settings”.
7. Click “Domain Network”.
8. Click “Turn on Windows Defender Firewall”.
Cloud Computing
Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services - including servers,

storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and intelligence - over the
internet (“known as Cloud”) that offers faster innovation, flexible resources, and
economies of scale. Typically pays only for cloud services you use, helps lowering
your operating costs, runs your infrastructure more efficiently, and scales as your
business needs change.
27
Benefits of Cloud Computing
▪ Cost - It eliminates the capital expense of buying hardware and

software and setting up and running on-site datacenters - the racks of
servers, the round-the-clock electricity for power and cooling, and the
IT experts for managing the infrastructure.
▪ Global Scale - It includes the ability to scale elasticity. In cloud, speak
means delivering the right amount of IT resources-for example, more or
less computing power, storage, bandwidth-right when they are needed,
and from the right geographic location.
▪ Performance - It runs on a worldwide network of secure data centers,
which are regularly upgraded to the latest generation of fast and
efficient computing hardware. This offers several benefits over a single
corporate data centers, including reduced network latency for
applications and greater economies of scale.
▪ Security - Cloud providers offer a broad set of policies, technologies,
and controls that strengthen your security posture overall, helping
protect your data, apps, and infrastructure from potential threats.
▪ Speed - It provides self-service and on demand so even vast amounts
of computing resources can be provisioned in minutes, typically with
just a few mouse clicks, giving businesses a lot of flexibility and taking
the pressure off capacity planning.
▪ Productivity - On-site data centers typically require a lot of “racking
and stacking” - hardware setup, software patching, and other time-
consuming IT management chores. Cloud computing removes the need
for many of these tasks, so IT teams can spend time on achieving more
important business goals.
▪ Reliability - It makes data backup, disaster recovery, and business
continuity easier and less expensive because data can be mirrored at
multiple redundant sites on the cloud provider’s network.
Types of Cloud Computing
▪ Public cloud – It is owned and operated by a third-party cloud service

provider, which delivers the computing resources, like servers and
storage, over the internet, with a public cloud, all hardware, software,
and manage your account using a web browser. ex. Microsoft Azure,
Google Cloud, Oracle cloud, AWS direct connect.
▪ Private Cloud – It refers to cloud computing resources used exclusively
by a single business or organization. A private cloud can be physically
located in the company’s on-site data center. Some companies also pay
third-party service providers to host their private cloud. A private cloud
maintains its services and infrastructures in a private network.
▪ Hybrid Cloud – Combines public and private clouds, bound together
by technology that allows data and applications to be shared between
them. By allowing data and applications to move between private and
public clouds, a hybrid cloud gives your business greater flexibility,
more deployment options, and helps optimize your existing
infrastructure security, and compliance.
28
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
provides renting for IT infrastructure - Server and Virtual Machines (VM’s),
storage, network, operating systems - cloud provider on a pay-as-you-go basis.
Platform as a Service (PaaS)

It refers to cloud computing services that supply an on-demand environment
for developing, testing, delivering, and managing software applications. PaaS is
designed to make it easier for developers to quickly create web or mobile applications,
without worrying about setting up or managing the underlying infrastructure of
servers, storage, network, and databases needed for development.
Serverless Computing
It focuses on building app functionality without spending time continually
managing the servers and infrastructure required to do so. The cloud provider
handles the setup, capacity planning and server management for you. Serverless
architectures are highly scalable and event-driven, only using resources when a
specific function or trigger occurs.
Software as a Service (SaaS)

It delivers software applications over the internet, on demand and typically on
a subscription basis. These service providers host and manage the software
applications and underlying infrastructure, and handle any maintenance, like
software upgrade and security patching. Users connect to the application over the
internet, usually with a web browser on their phone, tablet, or PC.

What’s New
A client/server network is a system where one or more computers called

“clients” that are connected to a central computer server to share or use
resources. Each client computer must use an operating system that allows it
to be identified to participate in the network.
In a client/server environment, each computer still holds (or can still
hold) its (or some) resources and files. Other computers can also access the
resources stored in a computer, as in a peer-to-peer scenario. One of the
particularities of a client/server network is that the files and resources are
centralized. This means that a computer, the server, can hold them and other
computers can access them. Since the server is always ON, the client
machines can access the files and resources without caring whether a certain
computer is ON.
35
What Is It
Client Device Configuration

Your wireless router has a variety
of useful options that you can configure.
These are practically hidden; you would
not know these features exist unless you
dig through your router’s configuration
pages.
Bear in mind that different routers

have different options. You may not have
all the options listed here on your own
router. The options will also be in
different places with different names.
Step 1
Click the detail button to view

more information about the
connection.
Step 2
Look for the IPv4 Default Gateway IP address in the details window. Plug this
IP address into your web browser’s
address bar. You will need to log in with
your username and password
combination. If you do not know these,
your router is probably using its default
combination — check your router’s
manual or perform a web search for its
model number and “default password”. If
you have previously changed the
password and cannot remember it, you
can reset your router’s password to the
default.
36
Step 3
Once you have logged in, you can

now browse your router’s configuration
pages and configure its settings.
▪ The most typical username is “admin”.

▪ The most typical passwords are “admin”
and “password”.
▪ Many routers will only require a username
and a blank password, while some allow
you to leave all fields blank.
▪ If you cannot figure out the correct IP
address, your username or password,
search for your router model online to see
what the default login is. If it has been
changed, press the Reset button found at
the back of the router for 10 (to 30+
seconds as dictated in the instructions for
the router model) to restore factory defaults
and try again.
Step 4
Open the Wireless Settings.
When you log in to your router, you will
be taken to the router’s main menu or
status screen. There will be several
options to choose from. The Internet
section can usually be left at default
settings. The Wireless section will allow
you to set up your wireless network. Enter
a name for your wireless network.
37
Step 5
In the Wireless section, you should
see a field labeled SSID or Name. Enter a
unique name for your wireless network.
This is what other devices will see when
scanning for networks.
Step 6
Check the box to enable SSID
broadcast. This will essentially “turn on”
the wireless network so that it may be
readily seen by anyone in range of the
signal.
Step 7
Choose a security method.
Choose from the list of available security
options. For the best security, choose
WPA2-PSK as the encryption method.
This is the most difficult security to
crack, and to give you the most
protection from hackers and intruders.
Step 8
Create a passphrase. Once you
have chosen your security method, enter in a passphrase for the network. This
should be a difficult password, with a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols.
Do not use any passwords that could be easily deduced from your network name or
from knowing you. Then save the setting once naming and security settings are
finished configuring.

Designing a Network Diagram.
One important principle in creating a network, especially in the industry, is to

create or design a network diagram. First you have to know if your network will run
according to your plan, the material to be used and the cost needed. This network
diagram will present how things like networking device, firewall, servers, cables will
co-exist and work smoothly with each other. Also, this diagram will easily locate
network problems need for repair.
Network diagram can have lots of elements to consider depending how

complex your network would be. Try to use paper and pen first in listing all the
required elements needed on a network. Example of these are router, access point,
switches, hub, wire to use, wired or wireless computers, network cabinet, raceways,
modular box, power switch, tables etc. Draw each on a piece paper and put lines
between these devices.
Ex.
39
Next is to arrange wire and devices depending on the space provided and make
sure that the wire will not cross each other to avoid confusion when problem occurs
during installation. Name all the devices including wire to be used then assign an IP
address for this network on each node, lastly print the network diagram.
Sample of a complete network diagram
Diagramming and designing a network are very easy, you can use any online
tools available in the internet or just use paper and pen to draw it. Just do not forget
to label every device you use so you will not be confused in designing a network
diagram.
40
Connect a computer to a network
Windows 10
1. Click the network button at the lower right corner of your screen.
2. Click the desired network.
3. Click “Connect” – check “connect

automatically” in the box to connect
network automatic when restarting
your computer.
4. Enter the wireless network key on the

space provided.
5. Click “next”.
6. Select the “network option” you

prefer.
7. Click “yes” for home network.
8. If the network is successful, the screen will show that you are connected
on the network. If not, it will indicate “no internet connection”.
9. System tray icon will display if

succeeded.
Now you can try to browse the internet if it is connected through the internet.
Note: do not share your password and SSID with others for your data privacy
protection.
