Router Settings--Broadband access mode

Before setting up your router, you need to understand your broadband access, the easiest way is to consult with an Internet service provider, or you can make a quick query on a network connection.

At present, the most common methods of computer network connection are as follows:

One, telephone line →adslmodem→ computer

Double stranded Wire (Ethernet line) → Computer

Third, cable TV (coaxial cable) →cablemodem→ computer

Four, optical fiber → photoelectric converter → proxy server → computer

At present, most users use ADSL, Vdslpppoe broadband need to run third party dialing software (such as Enternet300) or the system's own dialing program on the computer, fill in the account number and password dial-up Internet service provided by ISP. If the user's Adslmodem has enabled the routing function, fills in the ISP to provide the account number and the password, by the modem automatically completes the dialing (this kind of broadband access mode is typical like the telecommunication provides the network express train) it uses the static IP, namely the ISP service provider's fixed IP address, the subnet mask, Default gateway, DNS to achieve Internet access.

And like cable TV too is to provide dynamic IP to achieve the Internet, that is, the computer's TCP/IP properties are set to automatically obtain IP address, so that every time the computer completes the Internet can be started.

There is also an Internet need for Web authentication, that is, every time before the Internet, open IE browser, must be in the ISP designated home page to fill in the ISP service provider username and password, through the authentication can be used for Internet operation. such as China Unicom is to provide such a broadband service.

Above these types of connection is only a relatively high penetration of some access, users can not determine their own broadband form, it is best to the ISP service provider for consultation, in obtaining accurate answers can be set up after the router.

The basic knowledge of broadband intervention mode is necessary for users to choose their own service providers, and when users know their own broadband, they can connect Adslmodem, routers and computers.

Router settings--routers and computers, adslmodem connections

Router and computer, Adslmodem connection in router Setup we take the tl-r402 router as an example, its factory default IP address is: 192.168.1.1, subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 ( Some routers manage the address by default: 192.168.123.254, subnet mask: 255.255.255.0, the user should pay attention when using.

First the network cable to the router LAN port and computer networks card connection, because the router's Ethernet port has the polarity of automatic flip function, so no matter whether the network cable using straight line or crossed lines can be, but the wire crystal head must be solid, crystal head in contact with copper film can not rust.

When the connection is complete, right-click on the Network Neighborhood → properties, and then right-click Local connection → properties in the pop-up window, double-click the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) property and fill in the following IP address:

IP address: 192.168.1.X (X range 2-254)

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Default gateway: 192.168.1.1

NDS server can request to the service provider, also can search on the network, finish click OK.

When the router and the computer, Adslmodem connected, you need to check the following computers and routers, Adslmodem can achieve communication. Click start → program → attachment → command prompt, in the window input Ipconfig/all Click Enter, the following figure shows the information, indicating that the router settings are valid.

Then check if the computer sent to the router LAN port can return the packet, click start → program → attachment → command prompt, in the window input 192.168.1.1–t Click Enter, should appear as the following figure think like information.

If you click the ENTER key does not appear in the above information, prompted to enter the command "is not an internal command or an external command, also is not a running program or batch program", then the command entered the wrong, check the space and so on the correct input.

The information shown in the following illustration indicates that the computer has been able to communicate with the router.
