	Welcome to ~~44Net! This guide will walk~~ you ~~through the steps~~ to ~~get started~~.		Welcome. This page helps you bring 44Net to your device or network and choose how you want to participate.

	~~=== Step 1: Create an account ===~~		Start by creating an account, then select the participation model that matches your environment.
	~~Begin~~ by creating an account on the ~~[https://portal.ampr.org AMPRNet Portal]. This is your gateway to managing~~ your ~~44Net resources~~.

	~~<div style~~=~~"clear:both;">[[File~~:~~Registration_Step_2.png\|450px\|Follow the steps to fill in~~ your ~~basic profile information.]]</div>~~		== Step 1: Create your Portal account ==

	~~=== Step 2: Confirm your email ===~~		An account is required before requesting address space, managing DNS, or participating fully.
	~~After registering, check your email inbox for a confirmation email. Follow the instructions in the email to verify your address. This step ensures your~~ account is ~~active and ready to use~~.

	[[~~File:Registration_Email_Confirmation.png~~\|~~450px\|Check your inbox for an email prompting you to confirm~~ your ~~email address.~~]]		* [[Portal/Sign Up\|Create a Portal account and verify your callsign]]

	~~=== Step 3: Log in and complete your profile ===~~		Once your account is ready, you can decide how you want to participate.
	Once your ~~email~~ is ~~confirmed~~, ~~log in~~ to ~~the portal and complete your profile, including your grid square location~~.

	~~[[File~~:~~Registration_Complete_Profile.png\|450px\|When you confirm your email address, you will see a form for completing your profile, including your grid square location.]]~~		== Step 2: Choose an operating model ==

	~~=== Step 4: Submit your callsign for verification ===~~		44Net can be operated in several different ways.
	~~Submit your callsign for verification. Be sure to include a copy of your amateur radio license, if available. This helps the administrators verify your identity and approve your account~~.

	~~For more details~~, see ~~the~~ [[~~Verification~~]] ~~page~~.		If you want an overview of connection methods first, see [[Ways to Connect\|Ways to Connect]].

	~~[[File~~:~~Account_Callsign_Menu.png\|450px]]~~		=== Get Connected Quickly: 44Net Connect ===

	~~=== Next steps ===~~		Put 44Net on a single device or small network from almost any connection, including home networks, cloud hosts, or mobile devices.

	~~Once your account is created and your callsign is added to your profile, you can begin to explore what's available with~~ 44Net.		* Start here: [[44Net Connect/Quick Start\|44Net Connect Quick Start]]

	~~==== Request~~ a ~~subnet ====~~		Ideal when you want a flexible endpoint you control without operating shared infrastructure.

	* With just a callsign verified, you can request a subnet ranging from /32 to /25.		=== Participate via the IPIP Mesh ===
	* With an address also verified, you can request a /24.

	~~[[Portal_intro#Requesting_Address_Space_(Beginner_Friendly_Steps)\|Request a Subnet]]~~		Join the long‑standing shared 44Net community network built from interconnected tunnel endpoints and regional collaboration.

	~~Once your subnet is approved, you're ready to configure your network.~~		* Start here: [[IPIP Mesh/Quick Start\|IPIP Mesh Quick Start]]

	~~==== Request your DNS domain ====~~		Well suited for persistent stations participating in community routing environments.

	~~With a verified callsign, you can claim your own DNS subdomain at '''<callsign>.ampr.org'''~~: ~~[[Portal_intro#Adding_DNS_Records_to_a_Subdomain\|Subdomains]]~~		=== Operate Routed Infrastructure: BGP Announce ===

	~~==== Configure your~~ network ~~====~~		Integrate 44Net directly into an independently operated routed network using BGP.

	* ~~Configure your hardware for IPIP mesh networking~~: [[~~Portal_intro#Use_Case:_IPIP_Tunnel_Mesh,_Radio,_Globally_Unique_Space,_or_General_Address_Assignment\|IPIP Mesh]]~~		* Start here: [[BGP/Quick Start\|BGP Direct Announce Quick Start]]
	* Work with your ISP to announce your /~~24 via BGP: [[Portal_intro#Use_Case:_BGP_Direct_Announce~~\|BGP Direct Announce]]

	~~==== Get more help ====~~		Appropriate when you already manage routing infrastructure and participate in Internet routing, or if you have access to an upstream provider that can announce on your behalf.

	* Check out our complete portal guide for mode details: [[Portal_intro\|Portal Intro]]		=== Learn, Explore, or Contribute ===
