An ADSL account to enable multiple computers to surf the internet

Some people must have encountered such a problem: I have a broadband account, but I have two computers, how to surf the Internet at the same time?

In fact, if the funds allow you might as well add a device called "router". A router, in short, acts as a distribution line, and its routers act as gateways themselves. At the same time, if you are the telephone line access to the home broadband, "Modem" is also an essential device, commonly known as "cat", its role is to convert the telephone line analog signal to digital signal, which is an essential step in telephone line internet. If you have more than one computer to access the Internet at the same time, owning these two devices can basically be satisfied. But it is worth noting that because "cat" and the shape of the router is very similar, many people can not distinguish between "cat" and "router" who is who, the following first introduce their appearance, so as not to buy wrong or confused.

"Modem" commonly known as "cat":

This is the side view of the cat.

This is the main view of the cat, there is a row of indicators, "Power, Link Act (ADSL), Link Act (LAN)",

Power is clearly the source light;

Link for the meaning of the connection, if this lamp is not lit, indicating a problem with the connection

ACT to indicate if link is active and there is data transmission, the lamp flashes, so it must be based on the normal glow of link

ADSL: This is a network connected by telephone line, we usually say that the external network

LAN through twisted pair of local area network, twisted-wire said "network cable", a total of 8 different colors of thin lines, LAN also known as intranet

The above can see the strong cat, it will "external network" and "intranet" unicom, forming a "star network Map"

1 for the external network connection is the role of "cat", 5 for the "gateway" is the role of routers, and 2,3,4 is tied to the three intranet computer, see, they have the same status. Let's look at the back of the cat:

A total of five operating ports, namely "ADSL, Enternet, Reset, Power, power"

ADSL is obviously the interface of the telephone line, which is composed of two wires.

Enternet is where the twisted pair is inserted.

Reset is the reset key of modem, generally ignore him

Power button, don't say you can guess what he does.

The last one is the power socket, so don't repeat it.

Cat Introduction, the following describes the router,

There are lines by

Wireless routing

Routing General Interfaces

The router looks like a modem, the general interface of the router is as follows

One WAN interface (most basic), LAN interface (typically 2-4)

Wan interface functions, the network that passes into "Modem"

LAN connected to a computer for local area functions

There are lines and no lines by setting roughly the same, basically the following settings:

1. Plug both ends of a twisted pair into the Enternet port interface of the modem and the WAN port of the router

2. Insert the crystal Head of the telephone line into the ADSL port of the Modem

3.1 (there is a line by) on the LAN port of the router with N twisted pair access (because to connect the computer, so there are several machines on a few ports), the other end of the twisted pair connected to the computer network card port.

3.2 (no line by) routers generally do not operate, turn on the computer's wireless card function

4. Turn on Modem and router power

5. Configure the route, according to the instructions to determine the router's IP (typically 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1) and the administrator login and password.

6. Set the IP to your own computer so that the IP is in the same network segment as the router (for example: 192.168.0.2,192.168.0.3 ...). for IP 192.168.0.1)

7. Open IE in the Address bar enter http://192.168.0.1 (that is, the router's IP address), the Administrator Login dialog box appears, enter the user name and password

8. After entering, select the Setup wizard (different routes are not the same according to the instructions)

Select ADSL dialing

In the next interface, enter the dial "account name" and "password" provided by the service provider, and click Save to complete the setup.

Wirelessly connect over a wireless connection and you can do the same.
