Installing the asus rt g32 router. How to get along with the ASUS RT-G32 router

In this step by step instructions we'll talk about how to set up wifi router Asus RT-G32. This wireless router is one of the most purchased in our country and this is quite easily explained - a high-quality router at a low price will always find its buyer. Well, now about how to set up the Asus RT-G32.

Preparing to configure and connect the router


Before starting the process asus settings RT-G32, I recommend checking the connection settings by local network on the computer from which you will configure it. To do this, go to:

  • Control Panel - Network and Control Center public access- Change adapter settings (for Windows 8 and Windows 7)
  • Control Panel - Network connections(for Windows XP)
  • Right-click on the LAN connection icon and select "Properties" from the drop-down menu
  • In the list of components used by this connection, select "Internet Protocol Version 4 TCP/IPv4" and click "Properties" again
  • Make sure that in the protocol properties it is selected automatic receipt IP addresses and DNS servers. If this is not the case, then set the automatic receipt of parameters. (In the case when you use a connection with a static IP address, before changing the parameters, write down somewhere the data that was specified in the protocol properties, they will be needed when configuring the router).

On this preparation, you can finish. The next step is to connect the router to the computer. The connection scheme is very simple: connect the cable of your Internet provider to the WAN port on the Asus RT-G32, and connect one of the LAN ports to the corresponding port on the computer. Connect power to the router. The next item is directly setting up the Asus RT-G32.

An important point to pay attention to: after connecting the router, you should not start VPN or PPPoE connection on your computer - i.e. if earlier you launched the Beeline or Rostelecom icon to access the Internet, now you don’t need to do this - the Internet will “appear by itself” after we finish the setup. This is enough common mistake and a common reason for the question that "there is Internet on the computer, but the laptop connects via Wi-Fi but without access to the network." Be careful.

Setting up a Wi-Fi hotspot on Asus RT-G32

You can now connect to the router via Wi-Fi. The only thing is that the name of the wireless network is faceless (Asus RT-G32) and no password is set for it. A password is required in order to restrict unauthorized users from accessing your wireless network: neighbors and even people sitting on a bench in the yard.

In order to customize wifi settings, on the router settings page in the menu on the left, select the "Wireless network" item and fill in all the required fields:

  • The SSID is the name of the access point and is required so that you can identify your wifi network among all the others. We use Latin
  • Authentication method: here the best option will indicate WPA2-Personal, this will ensure the security of your wireless network
  • The WPA preshared key is the Wi-Fi password. The password must consist of at least 8 English letters and numbers.

Save your settings.

Step 1. Specify for yourself the parameters of your provider - Internet service provider, which will need to be entered on the router configuration page:

  • On what Protocol your operator provides you with the Internet ( PPTP, L2TP, PPPoE - Static or Dynamic);
  • Automatically or manually your PC is assigned an IP address and DNS;
  • Is access available through Login and password;
  • Is there a binding network card PC to the operator's server by physical address (MAC address).
Given these features and knowledge of the parameters, you can quickly and comfortably configure the router!

Step 2 In the properties of the LAN connection, in the properties Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4), if you see numbers, they should be rewritten in a notepad, and then set automatic tuning IP addresses, masks, gateway and DNS from the provider:

  • “WAN connection” - “Dynamic IP”;
  • if necessary, set the port to which the IPTV set-top box is connected;
  • in the next field we indicate that the IP address is set automatically and is obtained from the provider;
  • then we set automatic connection to DNS.

4. After that, we save the changes made by clicking the “Apply” button and wait for the network node to reboot.

5. After the router has finished loading, select the “Network Map” item. It is mandatory to set the following parameters in it:

  • we set the name of the network at our discretion in Latin letters;
  • sub-item Security level - in the drop-down list, select WPA-Personal;

Setting up MTS, as in the case of Beeline, begins with entering the setup menu according to the previously described method. Then in the menu item called “ Additional settings” select the WAN subsection. It sets the following parameters:

  1. Connection type - PPPoE.
  2. Automatically obtain network address and DNS.
  3. We set the username and password, which are specified in the contract with the cable provider.
  4. If necessary, we also indicate the LAN port to which the IPTV set-top box is connected.

We save these parameters and wait for the completion of the reboot of the router. After that you need to configure wireless connection according to the same algorithm as in the case of Beeline.

Configuration for Rostelecom

In this case, the setup procedure is identical to that previously given for MTS. Moreover, this is based on the same PPPoE protocol for Asus RT-G32. Setting up Rostelecom requires the same steps. The only thing you need to remember is that the password and, of course, the login are entered from the contract.
