How to set up a Wi-Fi router at home yourself: connection tricks. Cable or wireless signal, which to choose? Configuring routers when connecting via Wi-Fi

All tips

During the process of setting up the router, or after setting it up, when everything is already working, it often becomes necessary to connect the router to the laptop. So that the laptop has access to the Internet, and it is possible to go into the router settings, if necessary.

This article is for beginners. I'll show you how to connect a router to a laptop without a cable (via Wi-Fi) and via network cable. It turns out that there are at least two ways in which you can connect these two devices.

There is one point. We do not connect the router to the laptop, but the laptop to the router. Yes, there seems to be no difference, but it will be more correct. The fact is that the router is an independent device. And all devices that connect to it are clients. , I already told you.

So, two options:

Without wire, via Wi-Fi. Since almost every laptop has a built-in Wi-Fi module, and the router distributes a Wi-Fi network, most people connect to the Internet “over the air.” It's much more convenient this way.
Via cable. There are different situations. Maybe Wi-Fi on the laptop is not working, the wireless network is disabled on the router, there are some problems, low speed etc. In this case, you can connect the router to the laptop using a network cable. But on new laptop models (mostly ultrabooks) There is no longer a built-in LAN port. Usually, it comes as an adapter in the kit.

I give the answer right away so that in the future questions like “you pointed to example TP-Link, and with mine ASUS router how to do everything?” – no matter what manufacturer your router is (TP-Link, Netis, ASUS, D-Link, ZyXEL, Tenda, etc.). It can distribute the Internet via cable and Wi-Fi. Only if it is a regular router, and not some kind of mobile device, or a modem without Wi-Fi.

We connect the laptop to the router wirelessly

There is nothing complicated about this. It just often turns out that Wi-Fi on a laptop is not configured. Most often, the driver needed for operation is not installed. Wi-Fi module, or the adapter itself is disabled.

First I'll show you how to establish a connection via wireless network, and after that we will consider possible problems. I will leave links to instructions with solutions.

On Windows example 10. Click on the connection icon, which is located on the notification panel. Select your network and click "Connect".

If it is protected, you need to enter a password. If you haven't changed your password yet, set up new router, then the password is most likely listed on a sticker on the bottom of the router itself. Can be signed as PIN or Password. Enter the password and connect.

If the password was entered correctly and everything is fine, the laptop will be connected to the router via Wi-Fi networks.

That's it, you can use it.

I wrote how to connect to Wi-Fi in Windows 7 and solve some connection problems.

The most popular problems and errors:

Most often, the laptop does not have a wireless network at all. There are no settings, adapter, buttons, etc. I wrote about the solution to this problem in Windows 7 in the article (there is also a link to instructions for installing the driver), and if you have Windows 10, then see the article.
If there is a Wi-Fi network, but the computer does not see the network, and there is a red icon next to the wireless network icon, then see the article. As a rule, in other Windows versions the solution is the same - it is necessary.
In some cases, after connecting to the network, the status is “Without Internet access” (limited). I wrote about solving the problem in Windows 10.
– fixing a problem with DNS.
And the decision when. At the same time, the Internet seems to be working (normal connection status).

We figured out how to connect without cables. If any points regarding connecting to the router via a wireless network remain unclear, then ask questions in the comments.

How to connect a router to a laptop using a cable?

This connection method is even much simpler than with Wi-Fi.

Ideally, the Internet on a laptop should work immediately and automatically after connecting the network cable. Only your router must be configured and distributing the Internet. If you are just installing it and want to connect to it for configuration, then you may not have access to the Internet. But this is normal, since the router has not yet been configured, and the Internet is not needed to access the settings (web interface). It's easy enough to connect.

You can buy a cable of the required length, make it, or use the one that is usually placed in the box with the router. Just connect one end of the cable to the LAN port of the router (can be signed " home network") , and the other end into the LAN port on the laptop. If it is not there, then we use a USB-LAN adapter. And if there is no such adapter either, then you will have to buy it. For example,

Installing a router using a personal computer is not very difficult, although the router usually comes with massive instructions that explain each step in clear language. However, there are situations when there is no desktop computer, no laptop or netbook, much less a specialist nearby, but there is a router and a strong need to use it right now.

Due to the existence of this problem and the fact that it sometimes really causes inconvenience, this article will explain in detail and consistently how to set up a Wi-Fi router without having a personal computer at hand. IN in this case You will need to have a smartphone or tablet running Android, iOS, or Windows Phone, and of course the router itself.

If you decide to configure your router using a mobile device, then first of all you will need the router itself, as well as some mobile device, with which you can connect to the network. In addition, an Internet cable from the provider must be laid in the apartment (or house), that is, there must be Internet.

you can use different variants routers and mobile devices, in this case examples will be considered Tp-Link router WR-841N, and ASUS tablet-MeMO PadFHD10, running on the Android operating system.

On a note! It is recommended to check in advance how they connect to the network, for example by trying to connect to a free WI-FI point at some public catering outlet. This way you will get rid of problems with identifying internal problems of the mobile device, which you may confuse, for example, with problems with the router itself.

Speaking about the router itself, you can also choose any model that suits you, it doesn’t have to be Tp-Link. The most common and well-known models are considered to be such manufacturers as Upvel, Zyxel, D-LINK and others. They differ from each other for the average user mainly in the control panels.

Second step. Setting up a router using a tablet

Initially, according to the factory settings, there is no protection on Wi-Fi and your point is actually unprotected from anything. This way you can connect your mobile device (in this case we use the example tablet computer) to a Wi-Fi point with complete impunity, which is what you need to take advantage of.

So, you have connected your mobile device to the router. Next you need to configure it correctly.

Router settings via a browser on a mobile phone

This way you are in the settings menu of your router. Half the way has been completed, there is still a lot left.

Third step. Setting up Internet settings

From the very beginning, you must configure the router so that it is correctly associated with your Internet provider, that is, so that there is no further problems with Internet connection and Wi-Fi distribution. To carry out this task, you must know a number of parameters that the Internet provider should have given you along with all the documents. First of all, such data includes the technology of the connection itself (Static (static), dynamic IP, PPPoE, PPTP, or L2TP), and thus, knowing how the connection works, the router parameters themselves. This information should be in the documentation supplied by the provider, but if it is not, you can check with technical support. In this case, you should clarify whether the supplier carries out the binding according to MAC address.

Advice! If your Internet service provider binds by MAC address, then it is recommended to contact this provider and ask them to bind your Internet to the MAC address of your router. This address itself can be found on the sticker below the router.

This most important aspect when setting up your router. If you do not take this into account, then although your devices will formally connect to the network, there will be no Internet itself.

These settings have a huge impact on the device and are essentially the core of its operation, so give them proper attention.

Fourth step. Setting up a Wi-Fi connection

Fifth step. Setting a password for a wireless network

Sixth step. Changing your access password

Now you need to change the standard login and password (those admin/admin) used when logging into setup menu, in order to block access to the router settings menu for unauthorized people.

When the reboot is complete, the mobile device will most likely display an error message stating that it cannot connect to to this address(meaning IP:192.168.1.1). There is nothing terrible here: the point is that the device was disconnected from the router, but did not reconnect to it automatically, and in the future will no longer connect in this way, due to the fact that you set a password for this network connection, and when the device was rebooted - the protection took effect.

Therefore, in order to be able to work on the Internet, you will need to enter a password each time before connecting to the network.

To do this:

If everything goes smoothly, then everything is in order, and most likely additional problems will not occur when connecting. This means that in this case the provider connects using “Automatic IP”, and thus the router sets all the parameters independently. In this case, on at this stage You can already connect to the Internet and work.

However, there is another option: in some cases, providers use a connection such as Layer 2 Tuneling Protocol (L2TP), Point to Point Tuneling Protocol (PPTP), static IP, or Point to point protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) (used by providers such as Beeline , or dom.ru) in this case sometimes you have to carry out manual setting a number of parameters.

Conclusion

Setting up a router without a personal computer using modern smartphone or tablet - this is not such a problem, since the operating systems on which modern mobile devices run are no different from classic desktop operating systems. Of course, it is best to use a tablet rather than a mobile phone, since it is very difficult to see small text on a small screen, but technically the above operations can be carried out on any device that supports Android, iOS or Windows Phone.

Video - How to set up a router without a computer

Good day.

In order to organize a wireless Wi-Fi network at home and provide Internet access to all mobile devices (laptops, tablets, phones, etc.), you need a router (even many novice users are already aware of this). True, not everyone dares to connect it and configure it themselves...

In fact, most people can do this (I don’t take into account exceptional cases when an Internet provider creates such a “wild” with its own parameters for accessing the Internet...). In this article I will try to answer all the most FAQ that I heard (and hear) when connecting and setting up Wi-Fi router A. So let's get started...

1) What router do I need, how to choose it?

Perhaps this is the first question that users who want to organize a wireless Wi-Fi network at home ask themselves. I would start this question with a simple and important point: what services does your Internet provider provide (IP telephony or Internet television), what Internet speed do you expect (5-10-50 Mbit/s?), and at what protocol you are connected to the Internet (for example, now popular: PPTP, PPPoE, L2PT).

Those. The functions of the router will begin to appear by themselves... In general, this topic is quite extensive, therefore, I recommend that you read one of my articles:

searching and choosing a router for your home -

2) How to connect the router to the computer?

As a rule, the router itself comes with a power supply and a network cable for connecting to a PC (see Fig. 1).

By the way, please note that on the back wall of the router there are several sockets for connecting a network cable: one WAN port and 4 LAN ( the number of ports depends on the router model. In the most common home routers, the configuration is as in Fig. 2).

Rice. 2. Typical rear view of the router (TP Link).

The Internet cable from your provider (which was most likely previously connected to the PC’s network card) must be connected to the blue port of the router (WAN).

Using the cable that comes with the router, you need to connect the computer’s network card (where the provider’s Internet cable was previously connected) to one of the router’s LAN ports (see Fig. 2 - yellow ports). By the way, you can connect several more computers this way.

At an important moment! If you don’t have a computer, you can connect the LAN port of the router to a laptop (netbook) with a network cable. The fact is that initial setup router it is better (and in some cases, it is impossible to do otherwise) by wired connection. After specifying all the basic parameters (set up wireless Wi-Fi connection) - then the network cable can be disconnected from the laptop and continue to work via Wi-Fi.

As a rule, there are no issues with connecting cables and power supplies. Let's assume that your device is connected, and the LEDs on it started blinking :).

3) How to enter the router settings?

This is probably the key question of the article. In most cases, this is done quite simply, but sometimes... Let's consider the whole process in order.

By default, each router model has its own address for entering the settings (as well as login and password). In most cases it is the same: http://192.168.1.1/, however, there are exceptions. Here are a few models:

Asus - http://192.168.1.1 (Login: admin, Password: admin (or empty field));
ZyXEL Keenetic - http://192.168.1.1 (Login: admin, Password: 1234);
D-LINK - http://192.168.0.1 (Login: admin, Password: admin);
TRENDnet - http://192.168.10.1 (Login: admin, Password: admin).

At an important moment! It is impossible to say with 100% accuracy what address, password and login your device will have (even despite the brands I listed above). But this information must be indicated in the documentation for your router (most likely, on the first or last page of the user manual).

Rice. 3. Enter your login and password to access the router settings.

For those who were unable to enter the router settings, there is a good article with reasons (why this could happen). I recommend using the tips, link to the article below.

How to log in to 192.168.1.1? Why it doesn’t log in, the main reasons are:

How to enter the Wi-Fi router settings (step by step) -

4) How to set up an Internet connection in a Wi-Fi router

Before describing these or those settings, a small footnote should be made here:

First - even routers from one model range may have different firmware ( different versions). The settings menu depends on the firmware, i.e. what you will see when you go to the settings address (192.168.1.1). The settings language also depends on the firmware. In my example below, I will show the settings popular model router - TP-Link TL-WR740N (settings on English language, but understanding them is not so difficult. Of course, it’s even easier to set up in Russian).
The router settings will depend on the network organization of your Internet provider. To configure the router, you need connection information (login, password, IP addresses, connection type, etc.), usually everything you need is contained in the Internet connection agreement.
For the above reasons - it is impossible to give universal instructions, which is suitable for all occasions...

U different internet providers different type connections, for example, Megaline, ID-Net, TTK, MTS, etc. use a PPPoE connection (I would call it the most popular). In addition, it provides higher speed.

At PPPoE connection To access the Internet, you need to know your password and login. Sometimes (as for example, MTS) uses PPPoE+Static Local: access to the Internet will be provided, after entering the password and login for access, the local network is configured separately - you will need: IP address, mask, gateway.

Necessary settings (for example PPPoE, see Fig. 4):

You need to open the “Network / WAN” section;
WAN Connection Type - indicate the connection type, in this case PPPoE;
PPPoE Connection: Username - specify the login for accessing the Internet (specified in your agreement with the Internet provider);
PPPoE Connection: Password - password (similar);
Secondary Connection - here we either do not indicate anything (Disabled), or, for example, as in MTS - we indicate Static IP (depending on the organization of your network). Typically, this settings item affects access to local network your Internet provider. If you don’t need it, you don’t have to worry too much;
Connect on Demand - establish an Internet connection as needed, for example, if the user accesses an Internet browser and requests a page on the Internet. By the way, please note that there is a column below Max idle Time - this is the time after which the router (if it is idle) will disconnect from the Internet.
Connect Automatically - connect to the Internet automatically. In my opinion, the optimal parameter is what you need to choose...
Connect Manually - connect to the Internet manually (inconvenient...). Although for some users, for example, if traffic is limited, it is quite possible that this type will be the most optimal, allowing them to control the traffic limit and not go into the red.

Rice. 4. Setup PPPoE connections(MTS, TTK, etc.)

It is also worth paying attention to the Advanced tab - in it you can set DNS (they are sometimes necessary).

Rice. 5. Advanced tab in the TP Link router

Another important point - many ISPs bind your MAC address network card and do not allow you to access the Internet if the MAC address has changed ( approx. each network card your unique MAC address).

Modern routers can easily emulate the desired MAC address. To do this you need to open the tab Network/MAC Clone and press the button Clone MAC Address.

Alternatively, you can tell your new MAC address to your Internet provider and they will unblock it.

Note. The MAC address is something like this: 94-0C-6D-4B-99-2F (see Fig. 6).

Rice. 6. MAC address

By the way, for example in “ Billine» connection type is not PPPoE, A L2TP. The setup itself is done in a similar way, but with some caveats:

Wan Connection Type - the connection type must be selected L2TP;
Username, Password - enter the data provided to you by your Internet provider;
Server IP-address - tp.internet.beeline.ru;
save the settings (the router should reboot).

Rice. 7. Setting up L2TP for Billine...

Note: Actually, after entering the settings and rebooting the router (if you did everything correctly and entered exactly the data that is needed), the Internet should appear in your laptop (computer) that you connected via a network cable! If this is the case, all that remains is to set up a wireless Wi-Fi network. In the next step, we will do this...

5) How to set up a wireless Wi-Fi network in a router

Setting up a wireless Wi-Fi network, in most cases, comes down to specifying the network name and password to access it. As an example, I’ll show the same router (though I’ll take Russian firmware to show both Russian and English options).

First you need to open the Wireless section (wireless network), see fig. 8. Next, set the following settings:

Network name - the name that you will see when searching for and connecting to a Wi-Fi network (specify any);
Region - you can specify “Russia”. By the way, many routers don’t even have such a parameter;
Channel Width, Channel- you can leave Auto and not change anything;
Save your settings.

Rice. 8. Wi-Fi setup wireless network in the TP Link router.

Next, you need to open the “ Wireless Security". Many people underestimate this point, but if you do not protect the network with a password, then all your neighbors will be able to use it, thereby reducing your network speed.

Version: you don’t have to change it and leave it automatic;
Encryption: also automatic;
PSK password is the password to access your Wi-Fi network. I recommend that you indicate something that is difficult to find by regular search, or by random guessing (no 12345678!).

Rice. 9. Setting the encryption type (security).

After saving the settings and rebooting the router, your wireless Wi-Fi network should start working. Now you can set up a connection on your laptop, phone and other devices.

6) How to connect a laptop to a wireless Wi-Fi network

As a rule, if the router is configured correctly, there should be no problems with setting up and accessing the network in Windows. And such a connection is made in a couple of minutes, no more...

First, click on Wi-Fi icon in the tray next to the clock. In the window with a list of found Wi-Fi networks, select yours and enter the password to connect (see Fig. 10).

Rice. 10. Wi-Fi selection network for connecting a laptop.

If you entered the network password correctly, the laptop will establish a connection and you can start using the Internet. Actually, this completes the setup. For those who did not succeed, below are some links to typical problems.

The laptop does not connect to Wi-Fi (does not find wireless networks, no available connections) -

Problems with Wi-Fi in Windows 10: network without Internet access -

Need to connect to Wi-Fi modern man is encountered everywhere: wireless networks are much more practical and convenient than their cable “brothers”.

It’s just that similar WiFi privileges are mainly used by all sorts of mobile gadgets: phones, tablets, smartphones and most modern laptops. Accordingly, the question arises: why is a “classical” personal computer worse? After all, working on a desktop computer is much more convenient, and connecting cable internet often causes a lot of trouble.

And in this article we will look at how to connect desktop computer to wifi, and what needs to be done for the computer to “catch” invisible wi-fi.

By the way, the age of the device is not directly related to the creation of a wireless network, and you can connect WiFi even to a relatively old computer.

Can a regular computer be connected to wifi?

Some difficulties connecting to Wi-Fi personal computer are not at all connected with the “prejudices” of the developers or the unfortunate fate of this device, full of deprivations.

The fact is that mobile devices and modern laptops initially equipped with a built-in Wi-Fi adapter for connecting to a wireless network (which is not available on a desktop computer). However, such devices are mostly designed for short-term access to the network, and have a rather meager set of functionality.

While a desktop computer is designed for long work both with serious offline software and with any global resources information network. Accordingly, connection with all peripheral devices and external networks(Internet, power supply, etc.) here is carried out in a more reliable cable way.

A cable Internet connection for a desktop computer is more stable than a wireless Wi-Fi connection. Yes, when WiFi connection The reliability and speed of the network directly depend on the number of active connections, channel load, room architecture and many other third-party factors.

Therefore, decide to connect home computer to wifi solely for aesthetic reasons - still not worth it. "Standard" cable connection more reliable, more efficient ( Not), and causes much less damage to the health of the Internet user.

However, if a hard connection to the Internet source is unavailable for some reason, then you can connect Wi-Fi on your home computer in a matter of minutes.

How to connect your home computer to wifi?

To connect wifi to a desktop PC, first of all, you need to purchase a special removable Wi-Fi adapter - a miniature antenna that will “catch” the Internet signal transmitted by the router and return the data processed by the user to the router.

The most popular and inexpensive solution here would be to choose a removable USB adapter for your computer.

In order not to get a “pig in a poke”, it is better to buy a device from well-known and time-tested manufacturers: TP-Link, D-Link, etc.

If you purchased the adapter from official distributor, then the device comes with a disk with special program to install drivers.

How to install Wi-Fi on a computer running Windows 7?

1. Connect your adapter to any USB port on your computer.

2. Insert the disk into the drive, run the auto-configuration utility and, when prompted by the program, click the “Next” button.

3. After installing the driver, in the “Network Center” folder for Windows 7 (or “Network Connections” for Windows XP), you will see a new shortcut (in addition to the usual “Local Area Connection”). The name of the label will contain the brand name of the manufacturer of your adapter.

4. Now you can connect your desktop computer to wifi. To do this, click on the shortcut once right click mouse -> “Connection” -> Select the name of your Wi-Fi network and enter the password.

How to set up Wi-Fi if there is no installation disk?

In addition to the “classic” purchase of a brand new licensed adapter, there are cases when the user needed Wi-Fi on the computer “here and now”, and he borrowed/purchased an old used WiFi adapter from friends.

Naturally, the disk with the driver for such an adapter has long been lost.

In such a situation, you need to download the archive with the driver from the Internet.

“But there is no Internet!” - you say - “What to do?”

Here to connect desktop computer to wifi you should:

Connect the computer you are setting up to the router using a cable (if possible).

Go to the official website of the manufacturer of this adapter(or the specialized resource ddriver.ru), find the driver you need by the name of the USB-Wi-Fi adapter and download the software to your computer.

If cable connection it is not possible to connect to the router, download the driver you need to any computer connected to the Internet, and using removable media(flash drives) copy the archive to your wired computer.

2. Next, right-click once on the “My Computer” shortcut, then “Manage” and select “Device Manager” here. In chapter " Network adapters"Find the name of our USB adapter, right-click on it and select the "Update driver" menu item. Next, specify the folder into which the archive was copied from the necessary drivers, and click "OK".

3. Once the installation is complete, you will be able to connect your desktop computer to wifi. To do this, in “Network Connections”:

Select a new shortcut;

Right-click on it;

Select the menu item “Connection”;

Select the name of your Wi-Fi network (which you specified in the SSID when setting up the router);

Enter your password and you can use the Internet.

For a very long time, I was going to write this instruction, but it still didn’t work out. And now, the long-awaited moment has finally arrived.

In this article, I will tell you and show everything in detail in pictures how to set up a Wi-Fi router without a computer. Having only the router itself and the tablet. Well, or a smartphone. Moreover, it doesn’t matter which operating system your tablet (smartphone) is working. It could be Android, iOS, or Windows Phone. Can be configured from iPad or iPhone.

I was often asked in the comments whether it is possible to set up a router with only a phone or tablet. What to do if there is no computer, laptop, netbook, etc. in the house. It’s not difficult to imagine a case when you don’t have a computer, but there are many mobile devices that can connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi. And you decided to buy a router to distribute the Internet to your devices.

But here a problem arises: “How can I configure this router if I don’t have a laptop. For example, there is only a tablet. Where can I find instructions, and is it even possible to do this?” Yes, you can. I'll tell you now. You can, of course, borrow a laptop, for example from friends, and configure it according to these instructions “ “. But this is not at all necessary.

What do we need?

We need the router itself, and some kind of mobile device that can connect to a wireless network. From which we will carry out the configuration. Well, the Internet should be in your home, I think this is understandable.

I checked everything and everything works. I will show the whole process using the same router as an example Tp-Link WR841N, and tablet ASUS MeMO Pad FHD 10, which runs on Android. You may have another device, such as a smartphone. It’s just much more convenient on a tablet due to the larger screen.

As for the router itself, it can be anyone, not necessarily Tp-Link. If you have, for example, Asus, D-Link, ZyXEL, etc., then only the control panel will be different. And so, in general, everything will be the same as in this instruction.

Preparation: connecting the router

First of all, I advise you to do full reset settings on your router. It doesn’t matter whether it’s new from the store or has already worked somewhere, the settings need to be cleared. Perhaps it has already been configured, and we do not need any old settings. Because of them, many problems can arise. Therefore, look at the article ““, and do as it is written there. Done? Great, let's continue. If something doesn’t work out, we continue the same way, let’s hope that there are no settings that we don’t need.

We screw the antennas to the router (if they are removable), then connect the power cable and plug it into the outlet. We connect the network cable and the Internet to the blue WAN connector. Which the provider brought to your home (it would be good to be sure that the Internet is working and paid for. Otherwise, problems may arise during the setup process, and you will think that the router or the setup method is to blame).

Connected, the indicators blinked, everything is fine. If, after connecting to the network, the indicators on the router do not light up, then it is possible that it is turned off by a button, which may be on the body of the router itself. Check it out.

Now we pick up a tablet, smartphone, phone (whatever you have), and move on to the next point of our instructions.

Let's start setting up the router from the tablet

By default, Wi-Fi protection is not installed and your network is open. Now we will connect the tablet to it (this is in my case, when I write the tablet further, I will have to enter the device from which we are setting up).

Go to settings network connections(we need to turn on Wi-Fi).

Here, attention! It will have a standard name and will be open. It is important to choose our network. If in doubt, simply unplug your router (turn Wi-Fi off and on on the device itself) and see if the network disappears. If yes, then this means this is your network, select it.

A window will appear. Just click Connect.

If everything is fine, the status “ Connected“, and an icon with network divisions will appear at the top.

That's it, our tablet is connected to our wireless network. You can start setting up.

Setting up a router via a browser on a tablet

These parameters must be set on the tab Network — WAN. Against WAN Connection Type select the required technology. And based on a certain technology, we set all the necessary parameters: name, login, static IP, or DNS.

Then, when all the settings are specified and checked, press the button Save to save settings.

Please pay attention Special attention, the settings I wrote about above. As I said, they are the most important.

Opposite the point Wireless Network Name, set the name of your Wi-Fi network (write only in English letters, numbers can be used). This name will appear on all devices.

Against Region, indicate the country where you live.

If a window appears, just click Ok.

Installing protection on a wireless network

Open the item Wireless — Wireless Security.

Choose WPA/WPA2 - Personal(Recommended).

Opposite the point PSK Password create and write down a password. This will be used to connect to your Wi-Fi. Use english letters and numbers. Make your password at least 8 characters long. Stick to letter case, it matters.

Be sure to write down the password on a piece of paper and put it in a safe place so as not to forget. Otherwise, you will have to reset all settings and configure again.

Changing the password to access settings

We need to change the standard admin and admin, which are used to enter the router settings. So that no one but us can access the settings.

Go to the tab System Tools — Password.

Set a standard username and password. And below, enter your new data. I left the username as admin, I came up with my own password.

Write down this password so you don’t forget it.

After pressing the button Save, a window will appear again asking for your login and password. You need to indicate the new data (which you indicated above) and click on the button To come in.

We will be taken to the control panel again.

For example, or may occur. I also wrote about this.

Afterword

It was a huge article, a lot of screenshots, but there was no other way. I tried to make the article as clear and simple as possible.

As you can see, you can configure the router without a computer, but simply with mobile phone, or tablet. I think you can even set it up from a TV. And there is nothing complicated about it. The main thing is to follow the instructions and check the settings that you specify, so that there are no problems later.

If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, I will be happy to hear them in the comments!
