Cable from router to computer. How to connect a regular computer (PC) to a Wi-Fi network? Internet connection

Almost everything modern gadgets can be connected to wifi networks. This makes it possible to use the convenience of the Internet on high speed almost everywhere. There is an opinion that this only applies small devices, such as a tablet, phone or laptop (printer, camera, etc.). Many users are interested in the question of how to connect a computer to wifi, is it difficult, and what devices may be needed for this.

A stationary computer is called stationary because it means connecting all communications to it through various wires to a “permanent place of residence.” The PC can be moved in the future to another location, but this requires a major revision of cable routes, location of sockets, etc.

New recent years became the advent of wireless networks, thanks to which even a PC can be connected to the Internet using wifi technologies.

Below we will figure out what is needed for this, and in what order it is recommended to connect a desktop computer to the Internet “wirelessly”.

The outline of the article will be like this:

Necessary equipment:

• External wifi receivers;
• Internal;
• Router.

Installing devices on a computer and setting them up:

• External receiver;
• Interior;
• Router.

Necessary equipment

Since a PC in most cases is deprived of the ability to find and connect to wireless networks, you must first take care of purchasing equipment that will give it such privileges. Let us consider in detail how it happens.

External wifi receivers

Such devices look very similar to a large flash drive: they are small gadgets with a USB plug at one end (see Fig. 1). In addition, they may have a small antenna to increase the “collected” signal.

Fig.1 External adapter (network card) Wifi from Tp-Link.

This device for connecting a PC to a wireless network is quite inexpensive (can be purchased for 10-20 USD). After purchasing, all you have to do is connect it to your computer via USB, install it from the included driver disk, make the simplest settings and connect to wifi. We will consider all these operations in detail after we get acquainted with another type of wireless network adapters.

Internal (built-in) wifi receivers

Their name comes from the fact that they are built inside system unit PC. To connect to the “motherboard” use PCI interface, through which they are connected to a special connector.

rice. 2 Internal wifi receiver (adapter).

These devices differ little in price from external ones, and installing them on a computer also does not take much time and should not cause any particular difficulties.

So which type of adapter should you choose? External or internal?

• The external one can be quickly disconnected and connected to another PC;
• The internal receiver will not take up free place on the table; in addition, it is less susceptible to damage, since it cannot be touched by the user.

The choice is yours.

Router (router)

A wifi receiver can connect a computer to the network only if it can “reach” it. In other words, the signal source - the router - must be within range.

Fig.3 Router TP-LINK AC1750

It receives a signal from the provider via an Ethernet cable, passes it through itself and “distributes” it wireless devices(including on a computer). Routers are more versatile and easier to use than access points. They allow you to simultaneously connect several gadgets (laptop, tablet, smartphone, PC...) to one network.

Connecting equipment

We move on to the promised description of the process of installing a Wi-Fi receiver for a desktop computer.

External wireless network adapter - installation and configuration

As an example, let’s take the TP-LINK TL-WN721N receiver model, which has proven itself to be a reliable receiver. It can be purchased for 13-18 USD, and it is ideal for Windows 7. In addition, it supports all types of data encryption, and has the ability quick creation connections. Maximum speed signal reception - 150 Mbit/sec.

rice. 4 External network card wifi TP-LINK TL-WN721N.

Step 1

We take the device out of the box and carefully examine the package, which should include:

• The receiver itself;
• USB cable (can be connected through it and used as an extension cord when searching for a better signal);
• Instructions in several languages;
• Driver disk.

Step 2

We connect the adapter to the PC directly, or through an extension cord (it can amplify the signal, acting as additional antenna) into the USB port. Next, ignore any messages about the successful installation of device drivers. You need to install them yourself from a special disk that we found in the receiver box.

Step 3

Insert the driver disk into the computer, and then launch the installation wizard. In the program that opens, select our model and click “Install driver and utility” (see Fig. 5)

Fig.6 Dialog window of the installer program.

During the installation process, the following messages may appear (Fig. 7 and Fig. 8):

rice. 7 Notification on a 32-bit system that the utility cannot be installed. This is not scary, so feel free to click “Yes”.

rice. 8 System Windows security 7 may warn about an unknown driver manufacturer. This is also not critical, click “Install anyway...”

After a minute or two, the process will end, and you will find such an icon on the taskbar (see Fig. 9). It signals that the receiver is ready to connect the computer to wifi.

rice. 9 Icon indicating the presence of wireless networks within the range of the receiver.

Step 4

Now that the adapter is ready to connect the Internet to the computer, all you have to do is click on that icon and select suitable network wifi

fig.10 Selection the desired network on the list available connections.

And then enter the password (security key) and click OK.

Fig. 11 Specifying the network security key (password).

All. Your computer is now connected to the network via external receiver wifi You can start using the Internet.

Now let's move on to the next chapter of the article.

Installing the Internal Wireless Network Adapter

Step 1

For example, let's take the TP-Link TL-WN751ND model (approximate price: $15).

We take the device out of the box and unscrew the antenna if it is connected to the module (Fig. 12), since with it it will not be possible to install it in the system unit.

Fig. 12 Separating the antenna from the network adapter (by unscrewing).

Step 2

Open the cover of the system unit and look for a slot for the wifi module on the motherboard (one of the PCI slots through which you can connect a wifi receiver is usually located at the bottom, under sound card) (see Fig. 13)

Fig. 13 Slot for adapter on the computer motherboard.

We connect and, after screwing the antenna back, we get something like this:

Fig.14 Ready for configuration built-in wifi module at your workplace.

Step 3

Settings internal map wifi is no different from setting up an external one: first you need to “install” the drivers, then find a network and connect your computer to it. We discussed these steps in detail in the previous chapter.

Installing and configuring the router

For example, let's look at the process on the TP-Link TL-WR841N model.

Fig. 15 TP-Link TL-WR841N.

Step 1

First you need to connect the router to the computer through which it will be configured. Figure 16 shows the connectors through which the router is installed (blue - for power supply; red - for the Internet cable entering the apartment; green - for connecting to the main PC, from where the network will be managed).

Fig. 16 back side of the router with connectors.

Step 2

We go to the web interface of the router.

Fig. 17 entering the IP address to enter the router settings.

To do this, in the browser, in the address bar, enter the router’s IP address with the http:// prefix (as in Fig. 17). This “set” of numbers varies. It can be read where it is indicated by the manufacturer in 99% of cases - on back cover devices.

Step 3

Enter the username/password pair. In 90% of cases this is admin/admin.

Step 4

Once in the settings, look for the “Network” tab, and in it “WAN”. Here you need to specify the network type. To determine which connection is suitable in your case, you can consult with your provider. Click “Save” and move on.

Step 5

Go to “MAC Clone” (in the same place, in “Network”) and click on “Clone MAC Address", after which we save the changes again (save).

Step 6

We go to “Wireles” > “Wireless Settings”, where we enter all the values ​​as shown in the figure below. The only thing you can think of is the name of the network and indicate your real region. Don't forget to save.

Step 7

Now go to the “Security” tab. Indicate the encryption type and its algorithm as in the screenshot (you can simply fill in everything in the same way as in the figure above). And, most importantly, come up with your own password for the created network.

Save all changes again and complete the router installation by rebooting. To do this, look for the “System Tools” > “Reboot” tab, in which we click the only “reboot” button.

This completes the router setup process. Now you can connect to the computer on which you installed the wifi receiver demon wired Internet. You need to go through that PC to “Available connections” (as stated above), select the created network and connect to it.

According to my observations, few of those who were able to independently to plug wifi router , if there wired Internet, knew how to do it RIGHT. That is, use it to set up a wireless network and integrate it into it different devices. As a result, they subsequently encounter difficulties that could have been solved at the design stage. local network.

How to connect a wifi router?

Before you start step by step description regarding connecting a Wi-Fi router, I want to draw your attention to one point.

To create a full-fledged local wireless network, you need to buy a device such as a ROUTER, or also called a ROUTER.

The fact is that there are a lot of devices that are similar in appearance and functionality. for various purposes. For example, out of ignorance it is easy to confuse it with a wired router without WiFi, which also distributes the Internet signal to devices. But only with the help of cables - it does not have an antenna.

Another device similar in design appearance- access point. In general, her tasks are slightly different from ours. Characteristic difference The main difference between a router and an access point is that it has several outlets for network cables. While at the point there is usually only one.

The point of connecting a router is that it is now it, and not your PC, that will connect to the Internet via cable. To do this, all the necessary parameters required to connect to the provider, which were once applied in your desktop computer, will now be registered in the router settings. And all other devices will already receive Internet via wifi from it and according to the rules that will be specified in it.

For clarity, look at the diagram:

In order to connect a router at home and set up a Wi-Fi network, I used a dozen models from absolutely different manufacturers. I can say with confidence that in terms of WiFi configurations router and connection to the provider, the difference between them lies only in the details graphic design admin panel. Therefore, having mastered the principle once on one model, you can apply them to others. Today, as an example, I will illustrate with screenshots from two routers - TrendNet TEW-632BRP and ASUS WL-520GC.

How to connect a router to the Internet via DHCP?

The first setting we'll look at is DHCP setup server.
If previously there was only one computer and it alone received an IP address from the provider, then we can connect many computers and gadgets to the router. This means that it is the router, instead of the computer, that will “communicate” with the provider’s equipment. And within the framework of our home network between these devices, it will itself assign an internal IP address to each computer, laptop, phone, TV and everything else.

Procedure:

1. After connecting to the power supply, first of all you need to configure the router to communicate with the computer. To do this, insert the Internet cable into the WAN slot on the device. And we connect the other cable, with two plugs, which most likely came with the device, at one end to the computer’s network card. Where there used to be an internet cable. Others - in any of the LAN1, LAN2, LAN3 or LAN4 slots of the router.

   

   I also want to note that it is better to connect the router to the network through a source uninterruptible power supply. I had an unpleasant experience when good device from Netgear faltered due to a power surge in the network. It simply began broadcasting wifi not at 100, but at 2 meters. Of course, I had to buy a new one.

   

2. Next we take installation disk, included with the router. And we start installing the drivers and software.
3. After this, we need to configure the computer to work with the router. Now our network card is configured to connect directly to the Internet through the provider. This means that perhaps the control panel contains some data that is important for us to save and use later when working with the router. To do this, go to the settings of the TCP/IP v.4 protocol as shown in the diagram:

   For Windows XP: Start > Control Panel > Switch to classic look> Network connections".

   In Windows 7: Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center shared access> Management network connections>Changes adapter settings."

   In the screenshot, I go to the “Wireless Connection” settings, but you don’t have it yet, and since we connected the computer to the router with a cable, you need to select the “Local Area Connection” item:

   

   If you have something indicated here, then write down this data on a piece of paper. This is especially true for those who have lost their contract for the provision of services and do not know the data for connecting to world wide web. For a certain type of connection, which will be discussed below, this may be useful. After this, here, in the network connection settings on your computer, you need to set the IP, gateway and DNS to automatic. We will already enter these parameters in the wireless router.

4. After that, go to the address “http://192.168.1.1”. Typically, configurations with the router occur here, if they did not have to be done at the software installation stage. But look in the instructions for the device to see which way to go to the router’s control panel. Since the default preset IP on different models may vary. Also another popular placement brief instructions— sticker on the bottom of the device. Look there too. If there are no instructions in the instructions, or it is lost, then go to the Control Panel, as I already described above. Only after click right click Under “Local Area Network Connection” in the window that appears, click the “Details” button. In the window that opens, look for IPv4 Default Gateway - this is the IP address of the router.

   

5. Now, finally, go to the address indicated there through the browser (http://IP ADDRESS OF YOUR ROUTER). And we find the DHCP Server item in the menu (in Trendnet it is combined with WAN) and set the range of values ​​​​for possible IP addresses of devices within your local network. For me it was like this: Start IP - 192.168.10.101, End IP 192.168.10.200. And of course, opposite the DHCP Server item there should be an Enabled parameter. Domain Name or Host Name is the name of the future home wifi networks. Let me make a reservation right away that the screenshots below were taken from my devices, which are already working or have been working for several years. Their interface is in English, so it would be difficult for a domestic beginner to figure out what’s what without help - I hope these pictures will help you. Most modern firmware and the software is already in Russified form, so it will be even easier to understand.

   This is what it looked like on Trendnet (highlighted in red):

   

   And here it is in ASUS:

   

Setting up a computer connection to the router via LAN

Now we will set the parameters for our wifi network at home - IP and router mask. For Trendnet this is the same item (see Figure 1, highlighted in green), for Asus - the WAN & LAN section - at the very bottom of the settings page. In the first case I set IP 192.168.10.1, in the second - 192.168.1.1. This is the address within the local network at which we can access the admin panel through a browser. And through which computers will access the Internet. Mask - default, 255.255.255.0

Connecting a WiFi router to the Internet via the WAN port

These were all flowers, now the most interesting part is the setup external connection router to the Internet.
There are several types depending on the provider settings. This happens in the WAN menu.

There are several other options for connecting to the provider’s equipment, but I didn’t come across them. Therefore, I will not talk about them for now.

How to encrypt your WiFi connection

If you did everything correctly and saved all the settings, then all devices that support wifi should now see new network with the name you specified. However, this is the question of how to connect wifi at home, not closed yet. The home wifi network turned out to be open, that is, anyone can use your Internet access for free. In order to ruin everyone and make the wifi network at home accessible only to its owner, you need to protect the wireless network.

There are several methods, I have used two in my practice: WPE (or Shared Key) and WPA. The latter is more reliable, so I'll consider it. Go to security settings. In Trendnet this is the “Security” menu item, in Asus it is “Wireless > Interface”.

Select WPE or WPA Personal (PSK, TKIP) from the menu and set a password for authorization - from 7 to 64 characters. And we save. I show you how it was for me:

Well, now to access the Internet through your router, you need to enter a password. The final touch remains - so that there are no problems with connecting various devices to the router and with the operation of programs, we will manually set the DNS server. Setting this parameter is located in the same place where you entered the parameters for connecting to the Internet. We activate the function of manually assigning DNS servers and enter the IP from Google there:

• DNS-Primary (or DNS Server 1):8.8.8.8
• DNS-Secondary (or DNS Server 2): 8.8.4.4

You can also specify one of the Yandex servers (for example 77.88.8.8).

As you can see, connecting wifi through a router and making a wifi network at home is quite easy. I hope everything works out for you too!

Now a traditional video for dessert on connecting a router, which will tell you about it even more clearly typical settings for working with the network.

As a rule, most problems arise when connecting to the router via a wireless network. Connecting via a network cable should not cause any difficulties. But, I have already encountered similar questions several times, and decided to write small instructions with a photo in which I’ll tell you how to use LAN cable connect your computer (or laptop) to the router.

And what exactly is there to write about here? We took the cable, connected it to the router, then to the computer, and everything was ready. But still, maybe it will be useful to someone.
As a rule, modern routers have 4 LAN connectors. This means that you can connect 4 devices using a network cable. And they will all receive the Internet from the router, or work on the local network. By the way, read this article on setting up a local network.

We will need:

• A router with a free LAN connector (yellow).
• Network cable. A small cable is included with the router. But, if you need a longer cable, you can make it yourself. I wrote how to do this in the article How to make (crimp) a crossover. Or just go to a computer store and ask for a crimp network cable the length you need.
• A computer with a network card (usually integrated into motherboard). Well, or a laptop, netbook with an RJ-45 network connector.

Let's get started

We take our network cable, it looks like this (yours may be slightly different, I’ll enter a different length):

We connect one end of the cable to the yellow connector (LAN) of our router.

It doesn't matter which of the four connectors you connect the cable to.

Now we connect the other end of the cable to our computer or laptop.

This is what the network connector looks like on a computer:

After connecting the network cable, one of the four indicators on the router should light up, indicating a connection to the LAN connector.

Now look at the computer screen. If in the notification panel (bottom, right) you see this connection status (as in the screenshot below), then everything is fine. The Internet is already working.

But, in this way, it would seem in a simple way, problems may also arise. Now we will look at some of the most popular ones.

After connecting, the status on the notification panel may not change; you will see the computer crossed out with a red cross.

In this case, first of all you need to check the cable with which you connected the computer to the router. How to do it? You can, for example, take another cable, or a cable that carries the Internet directly to your computer. If this connection status changes (even if a yellow triangle appears), then the problem is in the cable. Perhaps something has come loose there. Just change it.

It is possible that the network card is simply disabled. Let's check. Go to Control Panel Network and Internet Network Connections and find there LAN connection. If there is a status next to it Disabled, then right-click on this connection and select Turn on.

If such a connection as There is no local network connection at all, then most likely the driver is simply not installed on your network card. Download and install the driver. If there was a disc included with your computer (laptop), then most likely it has this driver.

Connected the cable, but the connection does not have access to the Internet

And this can happen. The problem looks like this:

First, you need to determine what the problem is. This may occur due to problems on the router side. On this issue, see this article.

But I'll tell you in a simple way. If other devices work normally from this router, and there is Internet on them, then most likely the problem is on the computer itself. It's clear:).

And as a rule, there is only one problem.

Go to Control Panel again, Network and Internet Network Connections and right-click on Local Area Connection. Select properties. Then highlight "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" and press the button again Properties.

Set to receive IP and DNS automatically and click OK.

This should help.

But, we must not forget that, for example, there may be technical problems with the network card (perhaps it just burned out) and other very different reasons, which can cause a variety of problems.

Here are the instructions, everything seems simple, but it turned out to be not very small. I hope it is useful to someone.

Previously, people were content with having one device with a cable that provided Internet access. But now the average family can no longer use one device, so in addition to a computer they buy tablets, smartphones, laptops, and one wire is not enough to supply the entire house with a network. We want the Internet to literally float in the air, and the router gives us such an extraordinary opportunity! But how to connect a wifi router if you have wired internet?

Connecting the Wi-Fi router to the computer

Let's not talk about the operating room Linux system, MAC-OC, Pear, let's talk about Windows. Be prepared that this article will not talk about any specific wi-fi models router. It's written here about general scheme network block settings. In case you are interested specific model, then it’s better to google it, look for information on the net. It is recommended to use the Windows operating system, but this is your decision.

In order to connect a wifi router if there is a wired Internet, we need to connect to the patch cord mechanism, this is a wire with two plugs at the ends that comes with any specialized connecting device.

Setting scheme:

• Open any browser convenient for you and enter the address of your device in the address bar. It is usually written on the back, on the lid. But, as a last resort, such accessible information is quite easy to find on Google.
• An authorization window appears where you must enter data such as login and password. This is usually admin/admin, but it may be different on your model, so again, look carefully at back device.
• Now you're on working page. Find on the page the inscription “ WAN" Click on it.
• Now select the icon “ connection type", enter the provider settings. Don't forget to save your new data!
• It's time to establish communication. Find on the same page the inscription “ Wireless" Next, specify the name of your network and enter the key to wife. Select the encryption type and save.
• Reboot your devices. Installation completed.

Router Tp-link

The Tp-link router is one of the few devices that supports 3G\4G networks and has a WAN connector for distributing and connecting a regular cable. The router is good, fully worth its price, and has a beautiful design. There is an on/off button and a reset button. Everything is as it should be. The most common network binding mechanism. More convenient to use than subsequent ones, it is recommended by many experts.

d-link router

The most popular device in the CIS countries. The same router supports a higher speed connection. There is a function " parental controls ", filter MAC addresses, supports encryption standards. There is an on/off button and a reset button. The device is not very convenient; there are many unnecessary points in the settings. But this is again the opinion of experts, you can use what is most convenient for you first of all!

Zyxel keenetic

So, How to connect a wifi router if you have wired internet with Zyxel keenetic?

It adds a Mediatek radio module, which provides support for high-band wifi transmitted via antennas. Good design, and it’s not difficult to understand how to work with it. There is also a button to turn on/off and reset certain settings. The difference with previous routers is that they have different designs, button locations and support for different network bands. As they say on the forums, “it costs more, but it’s not much use.”

How to connect a wifi router to a laptop

If you are going to connect a network linking device to desktop computer, then see all the steps above in paragraph 2 about connecting the device to the computer. If you want to establish a network in your operating room windows system, here's how to do it. Experts explain using the example of an Acyc rt-n10p laptop and a TL-wr841n router.

Open the window " network adapters", which is located in the task manager. There, select an available connection. The name must contain the word Wireless. This is your adapter. Install the appropriate driver for your operating system. Next, “catch” the connection through the special icon at the bottom right. Enter your network password, configure encryption if necessary, and you're done.

How to connect a printer to a laptop via wifi without a router

On a laptop you need to create wireless connection « computer-computer". Then try connecting to the printer. Any printer with wifi should have a search button for available connections. You can also connect the printer via Bluetooth this way, if available. But, to be honest, according to forum statistics, a printer with Bluetooth is a very expensive thing: the cartridge needs to be changed often, the unit costs a lot of money, and special installations are also required.

How to connect a wifi router to a wifi modem

Connect adsl modem and wifi router is very easy.

We take a network cable, connect it to the modem in yellow Lan usb connector.

We connect the second end to the device, in blue WAN connector. We set the settings described above. We use the settings specifically for your device, because they are different for each model.

How to connect a tablet to a Wi-Fi router

Nothing complicated. The most easy instructions is that you simply open the list of available connections, select the one you need and enter the password. By the way, you can connect your phone in the same way. Nothing complicated, as you can see. Even a child can figure it out.

How to find out who is connected to my wifi router

Enter in address bar your router address, log into your account. We got to the device management page. Select a tab Wireless and onwards Wireless Statistics, and we see all the devices connected to our connecting device. Please note that it was said here about Tp-link router. In dir-300 and others, everything may be different!

And by the way, if you are really afraid that your hacker neighbor might have hacked you and is now watching movies at your expense, you can see not only the name of the device, but also, in some cases, their IP address. Even if an attacker tries to hide it, you can still find a trace of use different programs for hackers.

Helpful information: all programs for Android and iOS devices who promise to “unnoticed” sit on their neighbor’s Wi-Fi, while hacking it efficiently - a myth!

Video connections and settings

All detailed instructions, it is better to look for video instructions in the public domain. This way you will find more useful and understandable information specifically for you, answering your questions. There are many channels on YouTube dedicated to this. A lot of programmers make videos on different topics and help people. It is still more convenient for a person to watch how all this is done visually than to read and try to understand. But to each his own. There are many forums and websites dedicated to programming and even online academies that teach skills. system programmer. There are people who understand this - they are the most difficult to deceive, but there are others on the contrary. However, it’s good that we have the Internet and we can find answers to problematic questions at any time.

Plug the Internet cable into the WAN (or Internet) port of your router (aka router).

Connect the router to the computer: insert one end of the network cable into any of the router’s LAN ports, and the other into the connector network card PC. Instead of a cable you can use wireless connection, but at the setup stage it is better not to do this.

Connect the router to a power outlet. If your device has a power button, press it. Then wait a minute or two to allow the router to boot up.

2. Check the Internet

If your router was pre-configured by your provider or received settings in automatic mode, then the Internet can start working within a few seconds after connecting the router to the PC.

To check, launch your browser and try opening several sites. If there are no problems with accessing web resources, you can skip the fourth paragraph of the article.

In your browser's address bar, enter 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 and press Enter. One of these IP addresses should lead to the router's settings menu. If both options don't work, find desired IP address in the documentation for your router model and try entering it.

When the settings login page appears in the browser window, the system may request a login and password. Most often, when connecting for the first time, one word is suitable for both fields - admin. Less often as standard password router manufacturers use a combination 1234 .

If necessary, you can find the login information in the instructions for the router or on the provider's website. Well, or try an alternative.

4. Set up an Internet connection

If the Internet still does not work, the router needs special settings. Exactly what parameters you need depends on specific model device and internet service provider. There is no universal configuration. To obtain the necessary instructions, check the provider's website or request it from support.

Once you have obtained the manual for setting up your model, follow its prompts. If during the process you set up both an Internet connection and home network Wi-Fi, you can skip the fifth point of the article.

For Wi-Fi, it is important to choose the right security settings.

In the settings menu, find the section responsible for the wireless network (see the documentation for your router model). Be sure to ask here strong password(you will need it to connect your devices to the router via Wi-Fi) and select WPA2-PSK as a means of protection.

6. Change the password to enter the router settings

Just in case, it is better to limit the access of strangers to the router settings menu. If the router is still protected by the default password, replace it with your own.

Find the settings section that is responsible for the security (see the documentation for your router model) of the device, and enter a new strong password here. Save your changes.

If your computer has Wi-Fi module, after completing the setup, you can remove the network cable from the PC and connect to the router via a wireless connection.

7. Install the router in the optimal location

Ideally, the router is in the center of the area in which you use Wi-Fi. This way the signal will be equally available to all connected devices.

The fewer walls, furniture and other obstacles between the receiver device and the router, the better it works wireless network.
