Wireless broadband internet can drastically increase the speed of your internet connection. Broadband Internet refers to a large amount of information sent through your connection through a modem, cable, satellite signal or other method of transmission. The exact speed of broadband varies depending on the medium through which it travels, but the average broadband connection will give you between 250 and 800 kbps. Extremely fast broadband connections may achieve speeds of 1 mbps or higher. Broadband Setting up wireless broadband Internet in your home can be a little complicated if you aren’t used to working with computers, but even novice computer users should be able to follow these steps and have their own wireless broadband Internet set up in no time.

First, you must select an ISP (or Internet service provider) that offers broadband service in your area. Most phone and cable companies have a broadband option, such as Time Warner, Verizon, AT&T and more. Prices vary based on your area, provider, type of connection and service plan. Some services, such as cable, may not be offered in all areas. Research your options and choose the best plan for you.

Once you have your connection set up, you must hook your Internet up to a wireless router. The router takes your wired connection and converts it into a wireless signal used by your Mac or PC. The most common way to do this is either through an ethernet or cable port. Simply connect the connection to your wireless router, plug in your power, and turn it on. There are different lights on your router, including those for Internet, Signal, etc. Each light lets you know that specific interface is working correctly. For more information, refer to the documentation that came with your wireless router.

Now you must configure the wireless signal to work with your Mac or PC. This varies based off of which operating system and which particular version of that system you use. Go to your internet connection settings, select your wireless signal and add a password, if needed. Encrypting your signal with a password is always a good idea as it keeps people from stealing your connection.
