First we looked to see how much RAM the computer already had.

Second we replaced the RAM to add more memory. Always wear a anti-static wristbands to avoid
shocking yourself when handling the internal parts of the Computer

This shows that we have added more memory to the computer.

This is a Test for the RAM after we installed it.

We then powered back up and entered the IP Address into the internet. This then brought up the Router settings in
which we changed the name, pre-shared key and security.
