What is the difference between a modem and a Router and how are they configured?
Step 1: Before starting the configuration, it is important to know the difference between a modem and a Router. A modem is responsible for converting the Internet signal that comes from the provider into a format that can be used by our devices, while a Router is responsible for distributing that Internet signal through a Wi-Fi network.
Step 2: To configure the modem, you need to connect it directly to the internet outlet on the wall using an Ethernet cable. Once connected, turn on the modem and wait for the connection indicators to be stable.
Step 3: To configure the Router, connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the Internet jack on the modem and the other end to the WAN port of the Router. Then, turn on the Router and wait for the indicators to be stable.
How to access the modem and router settings?
Step 1: To access the modem settings, open a web browser and enter the modem's IP address in the address bar. The IP address is usually 192.168.0.1 o 192.168.1.1.
Step 2: To access the Router settings, enter the Router's IP address in the browser's address bar. The IP address may vary depending on the manufacturer, but is commonly 192.168.0.1 o 192.168.1.1.
What are the basic settings that need to be configured?

What are 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz networks and how are they configured?
Step 1: The 2.4Ghz network is more suitable for devices that are far from the Router and need greater coverage, although it offers slower connection speeds. The 5Ghz network is ideal for devices that require high connection speeds, but has limited range.
Step 2: To configure both networks, go to the Router settings and look for the wireless settings section. Here you can configure the name of each network, the password and other parameters related to the transmission of the Wi-Fi signal.
How are parental controls established on the Router?
Step 1: Access the Router settings and look for the parental controls or access control section. Here you can configure internet access schedules for each device, block specific web pages or restrict access to certain applications.
