# Network Setup when using a USB Cable

1. Turn on the BaseStation Plus if it is not on already and connect the included USB-C cable to the Type-C port on the back of the BaseStation. You need to hold the button for about one second to turn it on or off. 

2. Connect the other end of the USB-C cable to your computer. If your computer does not have a USB-C port, you can use a USB Type-C to A adapter.

3. Open the Windows **Control Panel** then select **Network and Sharing Center**. If you don’t see Network and Sharing Center, change the **View by:** option to large or small icons.<br>
