The Router tag on CellularNews collects our library of straightforward, step-by-step guides focused on getting your home network up and running smoothly. This section is designed for anyone who manages their own Wi-Fi, whether you're setting up a new router for the first time, troubleshooting a slow connection, or trying to connect a specific device like a gaming console or printer to your wireless network.

The articles here solve three common types of problems. First, they cover basic setup and configuration tasks, such as how to change your wireless network name, set up a Netgear or Linksys router, and change the password on a Verizon or Xfinity router. Second, they address connectivity and range issues, with guides on how to connect to the 5.0 GHz band, improve wireless strength for an Xbox One, set up a wireless repeater or extender, and even pair two wireless routers to extend your coverage. Third, they help you connect a wide variety of devices, including wireless cameras, HP Deskjet printers, the Nintendo Wii, and a landline phone, while also showing you how to switch your Samsung phone to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi or reset a stubborn network connection.
