If you’re a TalkTalk customer, you’ll need to set up your router to get connected to the internet. While it may seem like a daunting task, setting up your TalkTalk router is actually quite simple. In this guide, we’ll take you through the step-by-step process of setting up your router, so you can get connected in no time.
Step 1: Unbox Your Router
The first step is to unbox your TalkTalk router and make sure that you have all the necessary components. This should include the router itself, a power adapter, an Ethernet cable, and a microfilter.
Step 2: Connect Your Router
Connect the router to a power outlet using the power adapter. Then, connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the router’s LAN port, and the other end to your computer or laptop.
Step 3: Connect Your Microfilter
Connect your microfilter to your telephone line, then plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into the microfilter’s DSL port.
Step 4: Switch On Your Router
Switch on your router using the power button, and wait for it to start up. This may take a few minutes, so be patient.
Step 5: Configure Your Router
Once your router has started up, you’ll need to configure it. Open your web browser and type in the router’s IP address (this is usually 192.168.1.1). This will take you to the router’s configuration page, where you can set up your network name, password, and security settings.
Step 6: Connect to the Internet
Once you’ve configured your router, you should be able to connect to the internet. Open your web browser and try to load a web page to test your connection.
