To set up a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) or cable connection, you first need an account with an Internet service provider (ISP). For DSL, the ISP is usually a phone company; for cable, it's usually a cable TV provider.
You will also need a modem, a router, or a device that combines the two.
Some ISPs will provide you with these devices; if your ISP doesn't, you'll need
to buy them. When you have your modem, router, or combination device, either
follow the instructions provided by your ISP, or follow the corresponding steps
below.
If you have one device (a combined modem and router)
