How to install a router: step-by-step instructions. Yak nalashtuvati dartless router

Who knows a lot about setting up a router for a home wiki - this is a much more convenient setup for a primary user. Since it is possible to contact your Internet provider, and perhaps without any costs, the idea of ​​​​setting up a Wi-Fi connection can be laid on their shoulders. In addition, you can set up a paid facsimile service yourself without any special difficulties.

Ozhe, we got to the hands of the router. It doesn’t matter if it’s absolutely new from the store or from Vikoristan. Why start tweaking and what do we really need for Wi-Fi work?

What will we need to earn:

1. Reset the settings to the factory settings, so we will be able to get a used router. If a new whole document is being vicorized, skip it;
2. Connect the router to your computer, laptop or laptop and connected to the Internet;
3. Go to the admin panel of the router;
4. Enter access data to the provider's network;
5. Block access with a third-party password.

Methods for setting up a wi-fi router

1. Automatic. For additional special program-master, which is located on the disk with software that is included with the drone-free router. You just need to insert the disc from the software into the optical drive of the computer.
2. Manual. Vikorist web interface of the router. Setup is done via a PC browser.

The first method is the simplest: router setup master ask you to enter the necessary data (at the shortest option, you will be able to select from the list of your Internet provider) and the program itself will set up wireless connections. You need to go to the customer service provider to find out how to keep the drone-free router alive - before and after launching the configuration program, as this is important for the correct operation of the configuration program.

Of course, it may turn out that your provider is on the list of approved programs. In such situations, you have to manually configure the router through its web interface. In this procedure, I will begin the report and describe the 3 main steps for setting up a router:

1. establishing a connection between the computer, connecting to the LAN port of the router, and the router itself to deny access to its web interface
2. configured connection to the Internet (WAN parameter - port), vikoryst data from the provider
3. setup of a droneless network, which includes setting security parameters (password, choice of encryption method, etc.), as well as physical parameters, such as signal strength and selection of droneless channels

This is definitely not all, you can optionally adjust other parameters related to protection and additional functions, but the rest depend on the router model.

Static and dynamic IP addresses

Information about the type of IP address you assigned to your provider is very important when setting up a router. Yakshcho
your computer, which was previously connected to the drone and entered the IP address (depending on the terms of the agreement), then your IP address - static.

If you can’t guess anything about the IP, and, let’s say, there’s only a login and password, then the router can be removed
yogo automatically. Thus, your IP address is dynamic.

How to reset the router setup

It is necessary to reset the router settings (turn the router settings back to factory settings) if you encounter problems during the settings, you are confused, or something has gone wrong. For such situations, there is a special button on the body of the wi-fi router - RESET. When is the moment to put pressure on it and how much will it be suppressed, it is said in the customer’s handbook, or focus on changing the behavior of the indicators on the front side of the router, which will indicate that the download has been sent.

I would like to thank you for the fact that this is the only way to change a forgotten password on a router.

This concludes the theoretical preparation for setup. Next, I will report on the skin of 3 layers.

Setting up a connection with a router on a computer

1. Connect the local network cables (ports 1-4) as they will be connected.
2. Connect the provider cable to the Internet router port (also called WAN port).
3. Then the router's power supply unit is connected, plug it into the socket.

To include the life block into the rest of the army.

Any kit that comes with the router includes two “accessories”: a power supply unit, as well as a hemline cord (patch cord). When installing the first one, it is recommended to install the cord included in the kit. If so, you’ll worry about the usefulness of the router.

First you connect the wifi router at home, first you connect it “from the computer”.

A. Yakshcho The DHCP server is disabled on the router, which automatically distributes IP addresses to connections
Make sure that your computer has enabled automatic retrieval of intermediate addresses. For this purpose, point lower.

2. In the local network connection window, click “Power.”

3. Next, in the next window, select “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” and click on the “Power” button.

4. In the window "Power: Internet Protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" on the tab "Underground" there are faulty switches
be in the "Refuse IP address automatically" and "Refuse DNS server automatically" positions. If this is not the case, install them in the required position and close all windows by clicking on “Ok”.

B. Yakshcho The router is assigned a static IP address, sign the upcoming events.

1. Find out from the owner of your router the appropriate IP address (often indicated on a sticker when the device is installed). Repeat steps 1-3, aiming.

2. In the “Power: Internet Protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” window on the “Internal” tab, set the jumpers to the “Victory IP address” and “Victory DNS servers” positions. If this is not the case, install them in the required position and close all windows by clicking on “Ok”.

3. In the IP address field: enter the IP address, leaving (after the dot) the number that is greater than the number in the router’s IP address. For example, if your router is assigned the address 192.168.1.1, you can enter 192.168.1.2.

4. In the “Address mask:” field, enter the value 255.255.255.0, and in the “Main gateway:” field and “DNS server:” - the IP address of the wi-fi router.

Close all windows by clicking on the “OK” button. Now everything is ready to configure the router.

Setting up the router with help from the master

There is nothing tricky about this procedure. Insert the software CD that came with your Wi-Fi router. Run the installation wizard, having accepted the license, and ask for an hour.

Press further until you ask about drone-free communication. In the appropriate fields, enter the SSID of the drone-free network (the name of your network, which will appear when searching) and the password, or fill in the password, they can be changed later.

The wi-fi router will automatically determine the setup of your Internet connection. If your connection type requires a login and password, then you can enter them later, at the web interface, and for any other type you can quickly access it, if after automatically setting up the Internet without showing up. Just remember to write down your login and password to access the router’s web interface (if the router generates them itself, in the installation wizard window).

After setting up the router, you will automatically go to its web interface to set up your Internet connection manually.

Respect!

As you all followed the installation master’s instructions and did not cancel the notification about the repair, but, unfortunately,
The connection to the Internet has not been disconnected, there are 2 options for the problem:

1. As I wrote earlier, it is necessary to enter additional connection parameters in the web interface.
2. Another option is that the provider allows access to its network for only a device with a unique MAC address - an individual number for the device. It works like this: the provider remembers the MAC address of the client device the first time it connects to the network and then allows access to it. This information may be available daily in the information about the connection setup. To solve this problem, routers have a special function for cloning and manually entering the MAC address, which I will discuss a little later.

Setting up the router manually (on the example of an Asus router)

It is not possible to set up the connection with a help master, because it is necessary to set up any parameters that are not transferred to the router installation master, you can do the setup manually through the web interface.
Open any browser and type in the address bar the IP address of the router:

Enter your name and password in the window that appears in the following fields (their values ​​are indicated in the username of your router) to access the web interface. Please be aware that after setting up your connection, it is recommended to change your username and password for security reasons.

Deyaki vyrobniki vykoristovaya for the entrance to the panel 192.168.1.2 or 192.168.0.1

In the LAN section of the router interface, select the "DHCP server" tab and check the "Disable DHCP server" - "Yes" box. You yourself will give the router the ability to distribute IP to devices that connect to the new one automatically.

In the WAN section, in the “Internet connection” tab, select the type of Internet connection.
Select the type of Internet connection, look at the documents provided to you by your provider, or read the article: “How to determine the type of Internet connection.”

The most extensive options for connecting to the Internet

1. With dynamic IP (Automatic IP or DHCP)
2. From a static IP address (Manually configure the Configure WAN IP address field, mask, gateway...)

Let's look at another option, with a static IP address. Once you decide to become active, the fields for entering the parameters of a static connection - “Setting up the WAN IP address” - will need to be filled in correctly with the data taken from your Internet provider.

Click "No" and fill in all fields.

Make sure that in this section of the IP address and other boundary parameters are fixed, and enter their trace exactly as specified by the provider.
If you have selected the option with a dynamic IP address, either PPPoE or L2TP, then setup will be easy and all connection parameters will be taken by the router from the provider automatically. For the other two types of connection, you must specify the name and password as shown by the provider (or in the other “Service Name” fields).

Complete the adjustment by pressing the “Save” or “Save” button.

In some cases, the provider binds the client to the MAC address (physical address) of your computer, so that no one else can connect in place of the other. Whenever you try to access the Internet using a router, you will become unable to do so.

To uniquely identify this, change the MAC address of the external interface of the router so that it matches the MAC address that your provider has assigned you to (depend on the address of the external interface of your computer).

This operation is called MAC address cloning, however, this function on the router’s web interface always bears the same name.
To clone the MAC address of the computer that was connected to the Internet by cable before installing the router, enter it in the MAC field in the “Special benefits of Internet services” section of the WAN section, Internet connection tab nanny.

Save the settings by pressing the “Save” button.

How to find out the MAC address of your computer

To find out the MAC address of the computer and enter it when setting up an Internet connection on the router,
earn money in advance:

1. Click on the computer icon in the task area (tray), click on “Career Center with shared access”

And in the window select “Local network connections”.

2. Click the “Add” button to enter the MAC address.

MAC addresses will be listed in the “Physical addresses” field.

Manually adjusting Wi-Fi parameters

If you have done everything correctly and specified the correct connection parameters, after restarting the router you will be denied access to the Internet from the computer on which you configured the settings. Open your browser and type
address of any website, for example, MediaPure.Ru. The site side is now open, now you can start
before setting up the drone-free network (wi-fi).

In the menu of the router’s web interface, select the “Bezdrotova” section, the “Zagalni” tab.

Please note that some routers support drone-free networking in two bands (5 GHz and 2.4 GHz). Adjust the drone-free network to the larger requested 2.4 GHz range.

Select the droneless tracking mode. The best option is universal configuration, which will ensure compatibility with both new and old versions of the Wi-Fi standard. It may be called “Mixing” or “Auto” (automatic mode).

Indicate the SSID of the track (name of the track that will be displayed at the time of scanning) in the same name field. Select the security option in the “Authentication method” field, I recommend WPA2-Personal, why, read in the Wi-Fi section. Enter the password (or key) in the “WPA Front Key” field. This key and SSID are required to set up access on drone-free devices, so it is recommended that you save them in a file or write them down somewhere, saving them in a safe place.

It is recommended to select an SSID so that your home-made dart-free measure The call was not visible, but you can still connect to it, since you already know the SSID. To save your settings, press the “Save” or “Save” button. The drone-free range in the 5 GHz range is adjusted in a similar way.

For fans of video instructions

Respect! Be careful when updating your router firmware. The need for this is due to incorrect operation of the router and connection problems. It is important to read the section of the customer service provider about updating the router software and carefully follow the recommendations. Updating the router firmware is an extreme task, it is not possible to go ahead without any real need, since with a fully tuned drone-free network there is no such need.

“Setting up a WiFi router? There’s nothing simple, Watson!”
Even a distant person, from the depths of knowledge of all the secrets of the computer world, having seen for everything, you still heard about such a concept as Wi-Fi! Let's immediately understand what this word means. WiFi is a technology for drone-free transmission of information via an additional radio signal. The infection has spread everywhere, so in order not to fall into the homosapience of the 21st century, I strongly recommend that you get involved in the topic and actively master and become victorious. The advantage of setting up a wifi booth over cable connections on a desktop is great, which makes no sense to explain - the Internet and data exchange without darts! For the same sockets, cords, and other thousands of years of nonsense - take out your laptop or smartphone (what else is bothering you?) - click and run...

If you are reading this article, it means that power supply from setting up a WiFi router has become a problem for you. Well, let's figure out how to set up WiFi on a laptop or computer running Windows 7 or XP.

Let me immediately understand that the menus in the administration of the router, which I am talking about, can be called differently in different models and can be found in different parts of the menu - it’s best to understand the essence of which section is what needs to be entered.

1. So, first of all we need to get a router with wifi support. To set up a router for distributing a high-speed signal, you need to have the maximum throughput capacity (up to 450 Mb/s), which is called reserve. All the features of the choice are discussed in detail in this blog.
2. Turn on the WiFi router and connect two cables to it - one, the Internet connection from the provider, to the connector called “WAN”, the other, from the two sides that are included in the kit, to the connector “LAN”.

   

3. Connect the free end of the cable to the computer or laptop from which we will set up the equipment.

   

4. Go to the browser to the address http://192.168.1.1 or anything else specified on the day of installation. According to the manufacturer, the model addresses may look like 192.168.10.1, 192.168.0.1 or 10.10.0.1 - from those that were less particularly targeted.

   

5. Enter your login and password as admin/admin, otherwise you may be logged in. They are indicated there, at the gate of the router, and you will be given the address to log in to the admin panel.

   

6. When setting up a router in the WAN or Internet section, select the type of connection that is either specified in the provider agreement, or can be found out by calling the technical support line, and enter all the access data according to that type. Once again, everything is stated in the contract or accompanying explanatory materials and instructions from the provider.

   

7. In the “Bezrotova Merezha” or “WiFi” section, set the name of our Wi-Fi (SSID)

   

8. In the security section, you can set the encryption type to WPA2/PSK and set a password for connecting to WiFi.

   

9. The virtual server mode is activated - DCHP, which allows you to dynamically distribute IP addresses from a given range.

   

10. We save all changes

Setting up a WiFi router - connecting a laptop

Let's move on to setting up WiFi on the laptop. Let's take a look at Windows 7, although on XP everything will be the same - only the names of menu items in the system itself are important. First of all, be aware that the laptop is equipped with a WiFi module - or be aware that there is a sticker on the case that indicates its presence, or a button for activating it.

If it is missing, you will need to add and install a WiFi adapter - report to the device of your choice.

Possible fixes when setting up a router

When independently setting up a router to distribute a wifi signal, newbies often resort to simple fixes. I will bring solutions to the most widespread problems.

If all the configuration of the router has been completed correctly, then the Internet must begin to work in a non-dart way. Follow the latest blog to find out how to increase the range of your Wi-Fi and much more.

) for connecting home computers. The exact names of the router configuration parameters can be changed depending on the model. And you can either be with a wired or a dartless connection. I'm sleeping procedure for setting up a router I will guide you through the process of fiddly adjustments to your home environment.
1. Print out setting up the router, select a place manually, for example, an open space on the underside or table. I won’t be able to build a permanent arrangement for this. First of all, it’s best to choose a place where it’s easiest to work with a router, and you can worry about the remaining space later.

2. Set up your router, connect the power supply to the router, and then press the power button.

3. Connect the cable provided by your provider to the router. This cable is connected to the main input of the router, according to the markings - WAN.

Do not connect the main edge cable to the LAN socket!!!

4. When setting up the router If you choose a droneless router, you need to connect it to the main computer via a cable. If necessary and technically feasible, after connecting, the connection method may be changed to a wireless connection.

5. On the computer connected to the router, open any . Then enter the router address in the browser address bar. Many routers are connected to the address http://192.168.1.1 or http://192.168.0.1. documentation for setting up the router, to find the exact address for your model. Please note that you don’t need an Internet connection for this purpose.

6. Side, as soon as you use it, ask you to enter your account name and password. The stink is in the router documentation (the username is set to admin, password is admin). You must change the router password for security reasons, otherwise you can do this after installation is complete to avoid unnecessary complications before installation.

7. Select robot router mode. The router has a number of operating modes:

DHCP mode– allows the router to automatically distribute addresses to all computers connected to the network. This mode is the most manual if there are a lot of computers connected to the network, and setting up each computer will be problematic.

NAT mode– in this additional mode of operation, all computers combined will be treated as one computer, with one IP address. Already in the middle of the skin, the computer selects the correct address. This mode is good because many providers interconnect a number of computers that can be included in a local network, so using the additional NAT mode you can mask the number of computers, leaving only one single IP.

Bridge mode and Access Point mode– in these modes, the router passes the entire flow of information through itself, and connections are set up on your computer.

8. After you have selected the robotic router mode, it is necessary to configure the router WAN and LAN, and if your router has a drone-free interface, then you can configure the router via Wi-Fi connection. This adjustment, as a rule, is not difficult.

Setting up a router is an invisible procedure before launching and setting up a home local network. In this material you will learn how to set up a router yourself and learn the key parameters of its interface.

Enter

In the first parts of the series of materials “Local network with your own hands”, we learned: what components and devices make up a home computer network, what details and characteristics should be taken into account when choosing a router, and also Species of hedgehogs cables and began to prepare them independently.

After all the necessary equipment has been purchased and installed in its place, and the cables (which are especially necessary) have been laid and connected to the appropriate devices, the device is immediately put into operation. But in order for everything to work as required, it is not enough to simply connect all the components of the framework correctly. At some point you may have to set up your router using the new software installed in it.

In this article, we will look at the basic configuration of routers that allow you to bring your home local network to work. In fact, routers can offer even a wide range of functionality, and the number of adjustments in the existing models is too great to consider them within the same article.

Regardless of the fact that almost all modern routers have special modes “for dummies”, which allow you to set your basic parameters in a few short stages, without any knowledge and understanding of certain terms, In this way, setting up the router may result in unbearable tasks.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to provide detailed information about a universal method for setting up all types of routers. The model ranges of these devices are very diverse, as are their functional capabilities. The situation will intensify because many manufacturers will end up with very different software (firmware) for their products, which may greatly differ from each other in the user interface and fine-tuning capabilities. Other important aspects.

Chantly, the newcomers have this right, it’s time to throw up your hands, but don’t get angry yet. Even if the programs and developers were not cunning, you can still understand behind the main familiar terms what this other option in the router setup menu means. So, having understood the basic concepts that are used in router firmware, you can easily correctly adjust your main parameters for a specific purpose. Most of the benefits are obtained through the fact that various router options are often adjusted without understanding these functions, as they indicate.

IP-addressing andNAT

Before we get too bogged down in the intricacies of setting up a router, let’s take a quick theoretical step and figure out how computers exchange data with each other in the middle.

A special security program called network protocols, which describes the rules for splicing machines To exchange data on the global network, the Internet is vikoristed TCP/IP protocol set(Transmission Control Protocol). I am not casually calling it a set, because TCP/IP is truly made up of a variety of different protocols, among which you can see the following:

• HTTP is a hypertext data transfer protocol that is used by web servers and web browsers. For this protocol, you can look at the number of sites in between.
• FTP is a protocol used for transferring files across borders.
• SMTP – electronic mail protocol.
• IP is a protocol for transmitting data on the network addressing system.

Let's get down to the rest of the report.

In order for computers, routers and other electronic devices to exchange information on the Internet or to any extent, all are responsible for their unique special number (identifier) ​​or so on. IP addresses(Internet Protocol Address). Based on the address, the devices are identified one by one and can determine what data is written to and where to send the data.

Today, on the Internet, for routing data packets, the fourth version of the IP protocol (IPv4) is used, in which IP addresses are represented by a 32-bit number. In a dual system, which is used by computers, this number consists of zeros and one and has 32 digits. As you understand, it is not at all easy for people to capture addresses in this way, so we, people, write it down in a more convenient manner for us, as there are tens of numbers with values ​​​​from 0 to 255 separated by dots. For example, one and the same IP addresses in the dual system will look like, and in the traditional tenth for us, like 192.168.0.1.

The maximum number of unique IP addresses when using the IPv4 protocol is 4228250625 (255 4). Regardless of the fact that this figure looks hostile, such an address is no longer available for all participating devices in the global network. Even today, not only computer devices, but also cookers, TVs, telephones and other miscellaneous equipment can connect to the Internet.

The global availability of IPv4 addresses was predicted a long time ago, but today there is a lack of technology that allows them to be used more economically. We can’t see their mustache, but focus only on the mechanisms of the vikoristan dynamicі private(Internal) IP address, all these considerations are important for setting up any router.

In addition to the static edge address, which is assigned to the device itself by the user, a dynamic IP address is assigned to the node automatically when connected up to an hour (for example, for one session connecting to the Internet ohm). For automatic distribution of the IP address, the special protocol DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is used. Let's see how this works in practice.

It is acceptable that the provider has a pool of good IP addresses at its disposal. Whenever you connect to any device, the DHCP server will see the limit of addresses from this list. After the client exits the IP address list, it returns back to the list and can be seen again by another client. In this way, you can move the KKD to a different address and organize access to the Internet from one address across many devices, however, only one by one.

Another important point in saving address space is NAT (Network Address Translation) technology, which can also be used to reshape the IP address of transit packets containing data, and to private (internal)IP address V public (external) border addresses. This mechanism is practically used in any router and is the basis for organizing a wireless local network.

Public or else external An IP address is called this because it can be used as a source for exchanging data directly on the Internet. Such addresses have global uniqueness and can be assigned to only one device at a time, before which access can be denied from any point in the world. These addresses themselves are facing a great shortage and will require a particularly economical supply.

Private IP addresses are not available on the Internet and are only available locally. Such addresses are unique within one specific boundary and can be assigned simultaneously to several devices installed at different boundaries. You can then use different internal IP addresses for different local networks.

We have three ranges of private IP addresses:

• Type 10.0.0.1 to 10.255.255.254
• Type 172.16.0.1 to 172.31.255.254
• Type 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.255.254

As a rule, in home and small office settings, ranges of addresses in 192.168.0.1 before 192.168.0.254 or else 192.168.1.1 before 192.168.1.254 , which allows you to combine up to 254 devices.

Now let's take a look at how the translation of private addresses to public ones works. Obviously, you wanted to open any website and, having typed its address in the browser, pressed the Enter key. At this point, your computer forces the router to ask, which, when it accepts it, looks at the IP address of the assignment. If this address is local and includes the address of your local network in the range, the router immediately forwards the packet to the local device. This is not the case in our case, which means that it is necessary to send it to the global level.

The difference on the right is that the return address of the directory is a local (private) address, which will not be available from the global network, so you cannot search on the Internet. Therefore, the router changes the information in the packet, replacing the local public address seen by the provider, records the completed operation with this packet in a special internal table, and then sends it to the i. After the packet arrives as a result, the router checks the table, finds the local address where it was sent and assigns it to the required device for the local network. Then, when the client and server finish exchanging packets, the router erases the entries in the table, making room for future operations.

Thus, the mechanism for accessing the Internet of local network devices only needs one public address, which is assigned to the external network interface of the router. This allows not only the strict protection of external IP addresses, as if it were gold, but also ensures a high level of confidentiality of the data that circulates in the middle of the local network. Even packets destined for internal devices are never forwarded, and a computer with an internal IP address cannot be denied access from the global web without the permission of the router.

Connections to the router

Now, having dealt with IP addressing and some other important details, let’s move on to setting up the router. Obviously, to properly configure the router, you first need to connect to a new one. For this we need a special hemorrhage cable (patch cord), which will always be included with the router. One end must be connected to the computer's edge card, and the other must be built into any LAN port of the router.

After connecting the router, you need to check on your computer that the connections via local network are enabled, that automatic removal of IP parameters is enabled (set behind the settings) and appropriately assign the IP address inside the external edge interface of the router itself, which we need for connection with him. For whom in Panels keruvannya select an item Merezhi and Internet, then Control center for barriers and access and further to the left side Changing adapter settings. We know we need more Connection to local network And click on the new date. Press the button on the next window Powerful.

In the local connection authorities window, select Internet Protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4) And press the button again Powerful.

Check the window to ensure that the option is selected OtrimatiIP addresses automatically. Next here and at the front window we press the button OK.

Turning to the window Stan - Connections via local network click on the button Vidomosti.

At the end of the day, we need to highlight the meaning of the yakosti Behind the gatewayIPv4, Since this IP address itself is the edge address of the LAN interface of the router. Having written down or memorized the address of the gateway (in our application it is 192.168.1.1), open any browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari, etc.) and type it in the address row. If everything is set up correctly, you may be presented with a window that requires you to enter your login (name) and password to enter the router setup menu.

As a rule, the login (UserName) and password (Password), set at the factory, are indicated on the bottom of the router and/or in the instructions that come with it. Before speaking, the IP address of the connection to the router is also indicated there, so it is not at all obligatory to look at the information about the connection network. The most advanced login option is - admin, password - admin or else 1234 . The widest IP addresses for connection 192.168.1.1 or else 192.168.0.1 .

Router menu

To manage all the parameters of the router, you need to use the web interface, which will appear in front of you after you enter the correct username and password. In this case, each developer has his own idea about how this interface should look and how the hierarchy of the menu should look. Therefore, menu items that require the same settings may have different names on different routers and appear in different places. Tim, no less, you can still find some kind of hidden logic in everyone’s rose, so let’s find out.

To better understand the hidden patterns, in this material, as approximate illustrations, there will be screenshots of the interfaces of ASUS RT-N66U and ASUS WL-520GU routers, which are There are one type of one, both by design and by my menu.

As a rule, all the main menu items in the router interface are located left-handed in the adjacent stopper. By clicking on them, additional submenus can be opened, which are located either in a list in any section or in a nearby horizontal menu at the top of the screen. The central part of the window is used to adjust the parameters of the menu items you select.

After completing the adjustment of any parameters, you must first accept (save) the changes. For which there is a button at the bottom of the window Save (other options: Apply Finish, Save, Zastosuvati, Complete ). In many cases, to save new settings, you will need to restart the router, which will happen automatically.

Setting up an Internet connection

To configure Internet access settings, you need to select the following menu item in the left column, which can be called: Internet Setup, IP Config, WAN, Connection Setup, Network or Russian - Internet, Basic settings, Internet connections .

In the Internet connection settings window, you must select Type WAN connection (WAN Connection Type) from the menu that appears. This is based on the information provided to you by your Internet service provider. It is important to determine the type of connection, the fields to be adjusted and the amount of information that will be entered and changed.

The main types of connections you can come across look like this:

Automatic IP ( Dynamic IP, DHCP, Automatic ) - the simplest type of connection for the user, which does not require any regular adjustment. In this case, you select from the provider a dynamic public edge address, which is assigned automatically and can change over time.

Static IP (Static) - the type of connection in which the provider sees you a unique external address, which does not change over time. As a rule, for such addresses you have to pay an additional monthly subscription fee. Vikoristannya of static Publnikhny addresses of Vipadka, Yakshcho, you have a non-chief of the local point of the Pavutini Global Pavutini.

To set up a connection with a static IP address, you will need to fill in the following fields:

• IP Address (IP Addresses)- your provider has provided you with a static public address;
• Subnet Mask
• Default Gateway- addresses are provided by the provider;
• DNS Server (DNS server)- server addresses that convert the letters of domain names into IP addresses and so on. Selected automatically or notified by your provider.

PPTP L2 TP - tunnel protocols that are developed within the framework of virtual private network (VPN) technology to create secure connections between network nodes. This type of connection is even wider than that of Russian “remain mile” providers, especially with the additional L2TP protocol. In this case, the external interface of the router can be assigned either a dynamic public IP address (important) or a static one, but in order to connect to the Internet you will have to enter the following additional parameters provided by the provider:

• Im'ya koristuvach (UserName orLogin)
• Password (Password)
• Addressesservers(Server IP/Name, VPN Server)

In most cases, other adjustments are forfeited because the provider does not specify the values ​​necessary for them.

PPPoE - channel-level edge tunneling protocol, which is mainly used in xDSL modems/routers for connecting to the Internet via additional telephone lines. Here you can also discuss both dynamic and static public addresses. What additional parameters are required to be entered? I'm a koristuvach (UserName orLogin)і Password (Password), as they seem to be the owner of the Internet service. Other parameters, as a rule, are lost due to changes.

On many routers, there is a window for setting up Internet access, at the bottom there is a field with the name MAC addresses ( MAC Address) . What's this? MAC addresses (Russian MAC addresses) are unique physical addresses that are assigned to all computer edge devices, including interfaces of routers and edge cards. The physical address of the router is written on the bottom of the case.

Most providers use MAC addresses to identify computers, thereby eliminating the possibility of unauthorized access to the extent that they are in possession if they have not been registered. So, in order for any device to deny access to the Internet, the provider must add its MAC address to a special list of allowed addresses.

For example, you have had one computer at home for a long time, which is connected to the Internet via the provider’s cable and all configured connections are configured automatically. If you decide to change your PC to a larger current model, but if you connect the edge cable to a new accessory, you find that the Internet is not working, and the problem is not in the settings. On the right, the edge card of the new computer is assigned to a different MAC address, but is not included in the provider’s list and does not deny any access to the global edge. They are also worried about the router. Put a router in place of your computer, and you will not be denied access to the world wide web, as long as it sends its power to a unique physical address. So what should we do in this situation?

You can first call your provider and inform them of the MAC address of the new device, so that it is included in a separate listing, and you can change it yourself. If you are talking about the router, then I can come to help you in the field MAC addresses . Many models of modern routers allow you to clone the physical addresses of other devices. In this way, you can programmatically change the real MAC address of the router to something else. Enter the required address in this field, and when the router is powered up, it will always replace it with your boss.

In most cases, you will have enough information to set up any type of Internet connection. It is not excluded that in such situations nuances may emerge that we have not thought about here, but we are already aware that the technical support of the Internet service provider will help you figure out which ones.

After completing all the adjustments, do not forget to save them so that the changes become proper.

Adjusting the dartless lineWiFi

For setting up Wi-Fi networks, there is a tab in the main menu of the router Wireless or else WirelessSettings (other options: Wi-Fi, Drotless network, Adjustment of dartless network, Installations of dartless connection ). Please note that here often the main tab can contain a number of other tabs (submenus). Their names are not clear, some options may be limited. Just if you find the required parameters, don’t forget about them.

In order to create and launch a VAS dartless measure, you need to fill in a few key fields:

Enable Wireless - strengthening/improving the dartless line. This point is not present in all router models.

SSID (names, Wireless Network Name) - more than the number of dartless lines, as you can imagine on your own.

Security Mode ( Encryption, Security, Security settings, Encryption, Authentication method) - turn up/down and select the drone-free range safety mode. When security mode is turned off, it is recommended that you turn it on to prevent unauthorized access to your local network. Essentially, choosing a Wi-Fi security mode comes down to choosing the type of encryption from the drop-down list:

• WEP (WiredEquivalentPrivacy)- An outdated encryption algorithm that is not recommended today.
• WPAі WPA2(Wi-Fi Protected Access) is a modern technology for protecting dartless measurements. Home routers most often use this simple mode Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK,WPA2-PSK,WPA-Personal,WPA2-Personal), you will need to enter a password to access the network. Choose your encryption type from these options. Important modes - WPA2WPA2/WPA or else WPA-Auto.

Cipher type (WPA Encryption, WPA Algorithms, WPA encryption) - the type of encryption that WPA technology uses. Two types are possible: TKIPі AES. TKIP This is an outdated option, which is based on the first version of WPA. More WPA2 encryption will stop encryption AES. Based on this, the choice of this parameter is obvious: either AES, or a more universal option TKIP+AES.

WPA Pre- Shared Key ( Network Key, Password, Merezheviy key, Key WPA) - the line key (code word or password), which will need to be specified when connecting to the drone-free line. The keyword is displayed independently from Latin letters and numbers and can range from 8 to 63 characters.

All other Wi-Fi network parameters can be deleted without changes at the initial stage. For most episodes, you are unlikely to need any adjustment.

Nowadays, routers are becoming more and more widespread, producing drone-free measurements in two bands simultaneously - 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. These steps are adjusted individually on different menu tabs, although the parameters themselves are adjusted identically and are adjusted in general.

Adjusting the parameters of the local networkLAN

For setting up wired local network parameters in the router menu, select the item LAN (Local merezha, LOM). These can be accessed both in the main menu and in the main network settings submenu, in addition to the WAN tab. As a rule, there is no special need for a configured LAN interface, but some parameters will still ruin your respect.

IP Address - IP addresses of the internal edge interface of the router, which you can then open and go to the setup menu. This address is also the main gateway through which data is exchanged between external and local networks. As a rule, behind the mind there is a meaning 192.168.0.1 or else 192.168.1.1 .

Based on the value of the IP address, the rank of your local network and the range of private IP addresses that will be assigned to devices in the middle of it are determined. For example, if the IP address of the gateway is 192.168.1.1, then all devices in this local network have addresses in the range from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254.

In principle, you are free to assign any address to your local network with three reserved ranges of private IP addresses (we talked about them earlier). However, as a rule, there is no special need for changing the meaning of washing. Even at home, you are unlikely to create a number of adjustments, or you are using more than 254 devices within one dimension.

DHCP server ( DHCP Server) - A tool that allows the router to distribute IP addresses to local network devices automatically. Once installed, the DHCP server can display up to 253 addresses (from 2 to 254) within one local network. Please note that when DHCP is enabled, all nodes in your home or office network will have to register IP addresses manually.

Also, with a configured DHCP server, you can independently determine the range (pool) of IP addresses that can be assigned to devices in automatic mode and set the hour for renting a boundary address.

Setting upIPTV

The Internet TV industry is constantly developing at a rapid pace. Today, almost any great provider, in addition to providing access to the Internet, offers customers the opportunity to watch different television channels using additional edge technologies. In many cases, this option is a great alternative to low-rate cable TV or expensive satellite TV.

To organize television broadcasts, the network uses not traditional IP addressing technology, but group addressing technology Multicast. The support of this technology with a local network is a necessity for the work IPTV.

For routers, IPTV support can be organized in two ways. In the first stage, the router is equipped with the Multicast function and organizes multi-addressed data transmission to all LAN ports using various hardware and software features. Checkbox that indicates that the option is enabled/disabled Multicast streaming ( IPTV, IGMP, Multi-address routing) , you can move on different tabs, starting to adjust WAN or else LAN (Local Networks) then finish Additional adjustments (Advanced) . Also, search through the search method and read the instructions for your model.

Unfortunately, many router models may not have the most advanced technical characteristics or sophisticated security software that can cause failures during group addressing. Broadcasts of high-definition television (HDTV) channels are especially desirable, as they may be shown with blurry noise, pixelated pictures, and interruptions.

There is another way to transmit a rich address stream through a router to local network devices. Some routers have the ability to change the functionality of one or more LAN ports, preventing them from cutting through. For these ports, you can enable the IP address translation (NAT) mechanism, allowing traffic to pass through them without any changes, as is the case with a primary switch. If you connect a TV set-top box to such a port, then the “multicast” stream will be removed and entered into the provider, without changes. But, worst of all, the demand for a router in this type is minimal, and therefore, its hardware storage practically ceases to interfere with the TV picture quality.

As in the previous version, select ports STB IPTV May work in different router options. And yet, IPTV settings are most often found in the parameters of the main menu items Local measure ( LAN Network, Home Measurement), WAN or else Advanced (Additional settings) on additional deposit IPTV (other options: IP TV tower , Advanced ).

Depending on the router model, you can use either the Multicast function, or the function of assigning ports for IPTV (bridge), or offending functions, or not at all (as in the case of ASUS WL-520GU). In some installed routers, multicast data transmission (Multicast) can be organized for wireless communications (for example, in ASUS RT-N66U).

Firmware update

The functional capabilities of the router depend on the type of hardware and the type of software that is controlled. Moreover, the intensity of the router firmware affects the stability of its key device. In the near future, the firmware can be created with a dirty piece of paper from the router using the technical stuff inserted into it.

Of course, developers are constantly trying to improve the firmware for routers, periodically releasing updated firmware versions that fix bugs in previous editions. Also, new firmware can increase the productivity of the router and provide it with new useful functions. Therefore, it is time to check the availability of new versions of software for your router model.

Firmware updates occur in two stages. You'll be getting new firmware for your computer right away. Then in the router menu you will find the item System Setup (other options: System, Administration, Administration, Maintenance, Technical support, Tools ) and in the middle of the new option Firmware Upgrade (other options: Firmware updates, software updates, Firmware Update ). Then in the window you need to indicate the path to the file with the new firmware and press the button Upload ( ).

Visnovok

Retailers have long been trying to make it easier to configure router parameters, making it accessible to homeowners. In most cases, when you first enter the router menu, the master will be launched, which will prompt you to quickly adjust your basic parameters. This option allows newbies to search for the required options among the numerous sections of the menu. If necessary, the installation wizard can be launched and manually at the following point Quick Setup (other options: Setup Wizard, Installation Master, Shvidke setup ).

However, be sure that with the help of the installation master you will always have to set up the router correctly, since in this case all the important parameters are automatically selected correctly. Also, in certain situations of Internet connection, special adjustments may be required, the possibility of introducing them simply by working in Master mode. Therefore, in many situations, the manual mode of setting parameters will not survive.
