In this lab, you will verify the network connection between your computer

and your Internet router. This lab assumes that you have a SOHO router
configured to connect to the Internet and assign local network settings to
connected computers.

1) If necessary, start your computer and sign in.

2) If you have a wired connection to the router, make the following checks:

o The router is powered on and connected to the telephone point. Also


verify that its "Internet," "WAN," or "DSL" LED is green.

o The computer is connected to the router via a cable connecting the


RJ45 ports on the two devices.

o The network status icon in the notification area shows a connected

symbol and pointing at the icon reveals an "Internet access" tooltip.

o If you open the web browser then you can view a website such as
www. comptia . org.

3) If you have a wireless connection to the router, make the following checks:
o The network status icon in the notification area shows a connected

symbol and pointing at the icon reveals an "Internet access" tooltip.

o If the icon shows that connections are available click it, select
your wireless network name (SSID) and click Connect, then
input the passkey.
o If you open the web browser then you can view a website such as
www. comptia . org.

4) Right-click the network status icon and select Open Network & Internet Settings.

5) Click the WiFi or Ethernet tab (depending on whether your computer has a wireless or wired
connection).
6) Click Network and Sharing Center.

7) Under "view your active networks," click the Ethernet link or the SSID
(depending on whether your link is wired or wireless).
8) Click the Details button. This shows the configuration of the link,
including the Internet Protocol ('P) address (192 .168 . 1 .127 in the
example below) and the IP address of the default gateway—your
Internet router (192 . 168 . 1 . 254).

9) Make a note of the "1Pv4 Default Gateway":

10) Click Close then Close again to close both dialogs.


11) Open the web browser then type the IP address of your default
gateway into the address bar.
