Connection settings for wired routers and wireless routers

　　How do I set up a wireless router? WAN ports and LAN ports are key

Users who have access to broadband routers know that the ports on the broadband router have a WAN port and a LAN port. Broadband routers have a feature in the work process: data flows from LAN to WAN are unrestricted by default through routers, and cannot be passed by default from Wan to LAN direction. (Note: The wireless access portion of the wireless broadband router is subordinate to the LAN range. That is, by default, packets sent from a computer on the LAN enter the LAN port of the router, which can be sent from the WAN through the router, but after the active packets from the WAN have entered the WAN, the router defaults It's not allowed to get those packets through.

Through the actual test, in fact, the network cable from the wired router, can be connected to the wireless router 's WAN and LAN port, all can realize the use of wireless network.

Note that the premise of this article is that you have a network cable from the normal wired router; This network cable connects to the wireless router's WAN port through static IP to connect, such as the LAN port connecting the wireless router, that is to use the wireless router as a wireless AP. Here are two ways to connect:

The equipment is: The wired router is Tp-link R460, the wireless router is Tp-link wr541g. So the first way to connect is to connect to a wireless router's WAN port: the Tp-link R460 LAN port---The wr541g wan, and the second connection is the LAN port that connects the wireless router: Tp-link R460 LAN Port---wr541g LAN port.

　　How do I set up a wireless router? First to connect to the WAN port of the wireless router

The wireless router's WAN port is the Tp-link R460 LAN port---The wr541g Wan port (where the Tp-link R460 LAN port is assumed to be the default IP address 192.168.1.1, that is, the 192.168.1.1 can be entered Tp-link R460 router settings, and Tp-link R460 has been properly set up, you can surf the Internet.

First on a computer using a network cable to connect to the wireless router (wr541g) LAN port, access to the settings interface (default is 192.168.1.1, other wireless routers, according to the actual default IP address); First enter the tp-link wr541g wireless Router The LAN interface in, set it to 172.16.1.1, and then save the restart router, at which point the Tp-link wr541g wireless router default IP will be changed to 172.16.1.1.

Then in the current computer network card properties, the IP address is modified to 172.16.1.X (X take the natural number range 2-254), the following figure:

After the setup is complete, open IE, enter 172.16.1.1 In the Address bar, re-enter the Tp-link wr541g wireless router settings interface, set up the wireless router's WAN port, and select the static IP in the WAN port connection type to set it to: IP address 192.168.1.X ( X takes natural number range 2-254) Subnet mask 255.255.255.0 default gateway 192.168.1.1. Note that IP address 192.168.1.X, where X, must be in the LAN does not use the IP address, otherwise it will cause conflicts.

When the connection is complete, view the connection status of the Tp-link wr541g wireless router as follows:

Setup completes save reboot Tp-link wr541g wireless router. For network wireless network settings, refer to the previous wireless local area network (router) Detailed installation setup process on the home page.

　　Explain Why you should first set up the LAN IP for your wireless router. This is because for the Tp-link wr541g wireless router tp-link R460 LAN port IP address is its default gateway address, because the Tp-link wr541g wireless router's default IP is 192.168.1.1, and Tp-link R460 default IP is 192.168.1.1, so to avoid both IP conflicts, you must set the default IP for the tp-link wr541g wireless router.

　　Attention:

1, at this time the wireless network card IP must be set to 172.16.1.X (X take the natural number range 2-254), the gateway and DNS are set to 172.16.1.1. However, if the Tp-link wr541g wireless router opens the DHCP service, you may not need to set up.

2, at this time into the router settings IP address, tp-link R460 wireless router is 192.162.1.1 wr541g wireless router is 176.16.1.1

3, the connection completes, because Tp-link wr541g wireless router, also plays the function of the router. So the computers connected to the Tp-link wr541g wireless router have their TCP/IP properties consistent with the Tp-link WR541G wireless router!

　　How do I set up a wireless router? To connect to the LAN port of the wireless router

The LAN port of the wireless router is the Tp-link R460 LAN port---wr541g LAN port (this assumes that the LAN port of Tp-link R460 uses the default IP address 192.168.1.1, that is, it can be entered 192.168.1.1 via Tp-link R460 router settings, and Tp-link R460 has been properly set up, you can surf the Internet.

This connection is not necessary because the WAN port is not using the Tp-link wr541g wireless router, so it is easier to configure the WAN port.

Because the Tp-link wr541g wireless router default IP is 192.168.1.1, click IE, enter 192.168.1.1, enter the Tp-link wr541g wireless router settings interface, click the DHCP server--DHCP service, shut down the DHCP server

<

Then, change the LAN port IP address of the Tp-link wr541g wireless router, for example, to 192.168.1.254 to be able to only have a conflict with another IP address that is already in use.

When Setup is complete, the connection status of the Tp-link wr541g wireless router is as follows, because this is the Tp-link wr541g wireless router only functions without lines, so the connection status is all empty.

Setup is complete, save reboot, then. For network wireless network settings, refer to the previous wireless local area network (router) Detailed installation setup process on the home page.

Note: 1, because the Tp-link wr541g wireless router and the wired router Tp-link R460 IP is 192.168.1.1, therefore, when setting Tp-link wr541g wireless router, must not connect Tp-link R460 router to receive the network.

2, set a good tp-link wr541g wireless router, and connect to the Tp-link R460 router, enter the Tp-link wr541g wireless router IP address is: 192.162.1.254 (Here you set up the wireless router LAN port IP address is what, On the actual input); Tp-link R460 router's connection IP is: 192.168.1.1

3, as a result of the connection, Tp-link wr541g wireless router only play the function of no line. Therefore, when you want to enter different router settings, be sure to enter a different IP address, is entered into a different router settings. Tp-link WR541G Wireless Router is the equivalent of a "wireless switch", so the computers connected to the WR541G have their TCP/IP properties consistent with Tp-link R460! The equivalent of these computers is connected under the Tp-link R460!

How to set up a wireless router to implement the process of connecting a wireless router with a wired router in a local area network for you, just look at these pictures and texts is no use, or follow the above steps to actually operate it!
