Saving/restoring router settings

After making the settings, it is recommended to save them so that in case of problems, you can restore them. To do this, go to the tab Additional settings, menu Administration;, Restore/Save/Load settings tab.

  • To save the current settings of the router, press the button Save. The settings file will be saved to the specified location on the hard drive.
  • To restore settings from a file, you must click the button select a file, specify the path to the file with settings, then click the button send.

Attention! Button press Restore will restore the factory settings!

I think many will agree with me that the price tag for setting up a regular router in stores (and many private specialists) is prohibitively high. Moreover, in most cases, the entire setup comes down to the banal: ask your Internet provider for connection settings and enter them into the router (even a novice user can handle this).

Before paying someone money to set up a router, I suggest trying to set it up yourself ( By the way, with the same thoughts, I once set up my first router ...). As a test subject, I decided to take the ASUS RT-N12 router (by the way, setting up ASUS RT-N11P, RT-N12, RT-N15U routers is similar). Consider all the stages of connection in order.

1. Connecting the router to a computer and the Internet

All providers (at least those that came across to me ...) set up the Internet on a computer for free when connected. Most often connected via twisted pair» ( network cable), which is directly connected to the network card of the computer. Less commonly used is a modem, which also connects to the PC's network card.

Now you need to build a router into this circuit so that it is an intermediary between the provider's cable and the computer. The sequence of actions is as follows:

  1. Disconnect the provider's cable from the computer's network card and connect it to the router (blue input, see screenshot below);
  2. Next, connect the computer's network card (to which the provider's cable used to go) to the yellow output of the router (the network cable is usually included). In total, the router has 4 such LAN outputs, see the screenshot below.
  3. Connect the router to the 220V network;
  4. Next, turn on the router. If the LEDs on the device case start blinking, then everything is in order;
  5. If the device is not new, you need to reset the settings. To do this, hold down the reset button for 15-20 seconds.

2. Entering the router settings

The first configuration of the router is carried out from a computer (or laptop) that is connected via a LAN cable to the router. Let's go through all the steps.

1) OS setup

Before trying to enter the router settings, you need to check the properties of the network connection. To do this, go to the panel Windows controls, then sequentially follow the path: Network and InternetNetwork and Sharing CenterChange adapter settings (relevant for Windows 7, 8).

You should see a window with available network connections. You need to go to the properties of the Ethernet connection (via a LAN cable. The fact is that, for example, many laptops have wifi adapter and a normal network card. Naturally, you will have several adapter icons, as in the screenshot below).

Then you need to go to the properties of the "Internet Protocol version 4" and put the sliders in front of the items: "Obtain an IP address automatically", "Obtain a DNS server address automatically" (see screenshot below).

By the way, pay attention to the fact that the icon should be bright and without red crosses. This indicates a connection to the router.

If you have a red cross on the connection, then you have not connected the device to the PC.

If the adapter icon is gray (not colored), then either the adapter is disabled (just right-click on it and turn it on), or there are no drivers for it in the system.

2) Enter settings

To enter directly into the settings ASUS router, open any browser and type in the address:

192.168.1.1

Password and login will be:

Actually, if you did everything correctly, you will be taken to the router settings (by the way, if the router is not new and has already been configured by someone before, it may have changed the password. You need to reset the settings (there is a RESET button on the back of the device) and then try log in again).

If you can not enter the router settings /i>

3. Configuring the ASUS RT-N12 router for Internet access (using PPPOE as an example)

Open the "Internet - connection" page (I assume that some may have an English version of the firmware, then you need to look for something like Internet - main).

Here you need to set the basic settings necessary to connect to the Internet of your provider. By the way, you may need an agreement with the provider for connection (it just indicates the necessary information: the protocol by which you are connected, login and password for access, perhaps the MAC address for which the provider provides access is indicated).

  1. WAN type - connections: choose PPPoE (or the one that you have in the contract. The most common is PPPoE. By the way, further settings depend on the choice of connection type);
  2. Further (up to the username) you can not change anything and leave the same as in the screenshot below;
  3. Username: enter your login to access the Internet (specified in the contract);
  4. Password: also specified in the contract;
  5. MAC Address: Some ISPs block unknown MAC addresses. If you have such a provider (or better just play it safe), then just clone the MAC address of the network card (through which the network was previously accessed). More on this: /li>

After making the settings, do not forget to save them and reboot the router. If everything was done correctly, the Internet should already be working for you, however, only on the PC that is connected to the router with a cable to one of the LAN ports.

4. WiFi setup

To various devices in the house (phone, laptop, netbook, tablet) could access the Internet, you still need to set up Wi-Fi. This is done quite simply: in the router settings, go to the "Wireless Network - General" tab.

  1. SSID is the name of your network. This is what you will see when you look. available networks Wi-Fi, for example, when setting up a phone to access the network;
  2. Hide SSID - I recommend not to hide;
  3. WPA encryption - enable AES;
  4. WPA key - here you set a password to access your network (if you do not set it, all neighbors will be able to use your Internet).

Save your settings and reboot your router. After that, you can configure access to WiFi networks e.g. on a phone or laptop.
