Setting a wireless router is so brainless

Many of my friends want to access the Internet wirelessly, but they may not be able to set up a wireless router when setting up the network. So what exactly are the secrets? What do you need to pay attention? See the following. Hope to help you.

Next I will take the MWR300T + 11N wireless router of mercury as an example to explain how to set up a wireless router.

To get a wireless router, let's take a look at its exterior structure. On the front panel, we can see PWR lights, SYS lights, WLAN lights, 1-4 LAN lights, WAN lights, and a WPS lamp arranged from left to right.

The functions of each indicator are as follows:

PWR: power indicator. If the power supply is off, the power supply is not connected. If the power supply is on, the power is powered on.

SYS: system status indicator. If the device is off, the device is initializing. If the device is blinking, the device is working normally.

WLAN: Wireless status indicator. If the feature is disabled, the wireless feature is not enabled. If the feature is blinking, the feature is enabled.

1-4: Lan status indicator. The device is not connected to the port. The device is blinking and the port is transmitting data. The device is always on and the port is connected to the device.

WAN: WAN status indicator. The device is not connected to the port. The device is blinking and data is being transmitted. the device is always on and connected to the port.

WPS: one-click Security Setting indicator. The connection is green and secure. The connection is green. The connection is successful. The connection is red and fails.

Let's take a look at the router's back panel, which has a WAN port and four LAN ports respectively. The WAN port is used to connect to the Internet, while the LAN port is used to connect to the computer's Nic. Connect these ports with a network cable, and then turn on the power, you can set up a wireless router. After the network cables are connected, enter the IP address "192.168.1.1" in the IE Address Bar and press Enter. the login window is displayed. Enter the username "admin" and password "admin" to configure the interface. The user password and IP address are usually marked on the bottom label of the router.

TIPS: A Wireless Broadband Router can be connected through a wired or wireless connection. However, if this is the first configuration, we recommend that you use a wired connection.

For new users, you can also use its own Wizard to set up a wireless router. It can be completed in just a few steps. Next, let's take a look at how to use the Setup Wizard for configuration.

Click the setting wizard on the left and click Next.

As you can see, the vro supports three common Internet access methods. We should select according to the actual situation when using the vro.

For Ethernet bandwidth and dynamic IP, select the corresponding option and click Next.

Set the wireless network. You can enable or disable the wireless network. If the wireless status is disabled, the wireless network is unavailable.

You can also modify the SSID and use your own name as the name of the wireless network. In addition, you can select a channel. If there are other wireless networks with the same channel, our network will be subject to a certain degree of interference, therefore, it is best to select a channel that is different from other networks.

The frequency band bandwidth can be set to automatic, 20 M or 40 M. It is also best to distinguish it from the surrounding network to avoid interference.

After setting, click Next to complete the basic network parameter configuration. After restarting, you can access the network.

If it is an Ethernet static IP address, select the corresponding option and click Next.

Then, enter the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and other basic network parameters provided by the network service provider, and click Next.

The next step is wireless settings. The method is the same as above. After the settings are complete, you can access the network.

If the dialing method is selected for ADSL, select the corresponding option and click Next.

Enter the Internet account and password provided by the network service provider, and click Next.

The next step is wireless settings. The method is the same as above. After the settings are complete, you can access the network.

If you are familiar with network settings, we recommend that you manually configure the vro. In this way, we can separately configure the LAN port and WAN port, and configure the wireless network and encrypt the wireless network.

Click network parameters-LAN port settings on the left side to configure the IP Parameters of the LAN port. We can set a parameter different from the default one.

Point WAN port settings. We can select Dynamic IP, static IP, and PPPoE in the connection type based on the actual situation ).

The Dynamic IP address does not need to be configured too much manually. It can be used by default.

Static IP addresses only need to set the basic network parameters provided by the network service provider, which is also very simple.

There are many PPPoE configuration options. After setting the Internet account, you can also select the connection mode after the internet password. There are on-demand connections, automatic connections, timed connections, manual connections, etc. This should be set according to the user's own situation. If it is monthly subscription, you can choose Automatic Connection, otherwise, you should select on-demand connection or manual connection.

Next, configure the wireless network parameters, which is an important step in setting the wireless router. SSID is used to identify the wireless signal broadcast IDs of different networks. We can set a name for ourselves. A wireless router usually has multiple channels. If the signal is unstable, you can try to change a different channel or select a different bandwidth band. To use a wireless network, check "enable wireless function". Otherwise, the wireless network cannot be used. If you do not want to broadcast the SSID for security reasons, you must manually set the SSID to enter the corresponding network. In wireless security settings, we may encrypt the wireless network. Encryption mode has WEP, WPA/WPA2, WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK, it should be noted that 11N mode does not support WEP encryption, if you choose WEP encryption mode, the router automatically jumps to work in 11g mode. In the general environment using WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK can be, that is, safe and reliable, phrase type password and easy to remember.
