Connecting a Router to your Ting Internet Service

Connecting a Router to your Ting Internet Service

Now that your home or business is set up for service, your next step is to connect to your network and get online.

Using a Ting Router (Zyxel EMG 6726)

The Zyxel EMG 6726 router has four ethernet ports on the back for wired connections. For optimal performance, we recommend directly connecting your devices to any of the four yellow Ethernet ports using an Ethernet cable.

Network name and password

Your Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password are located on a sticker on the side of your router.

To connect your device, look for a network with the same name on your device and enter the password. After connecting your wireless devices to the Wi-Fi, you're all set!

If you want to change the name and password of your network, see the article Setting Your Ting's Router's Wi-Fi Network Name and Password.

Note

If the Wi-Fi network name (SSID) listed on the back of the router does not appear on any of your wireless devices, you may need to reset the router to its default settings.

Bringing your Own Router

Typically, the 'Internet' or 'WAN' port on your router needs to be connected to the port on the Ting fiber modem using an Ethernet cord. However, the specifics may vary based on your device.
