1, connect the router to the external network
Step one: Connect a good line
In the absence of a router, we are directly connected to the Internet through the computer to connect broadband, so now to use the router to share broadband Internet access, of course, the first to use the router to directly connect broadband. So the first thing we need to do is connect the lines, link the front-end broadband cable to the router (WAN Port), and then connect the computer to the router (LAN port), as shown below:
Attention matters
If your broadband is telephone line access, please follow the figure ①, ②, ③, ④ in turn wiring. If it is a direct network of households, please follow the ②, ③, ④ of the sequential junction.
Schematic diagram of physical wiring
Physical wiring diagram (if it is a community broadband, direct broadband line to the WAN port can be)
After the power is plugged in, the system LEDs after the router is working properly (SYS light
or a little gear.
icon) is blinking. After the line is connected, the router's WAN port and the LAN port of the wired computer will be illuminated steady or blinking, if the corresponding port led is not lit or the computer's network card icon shows a red fork
, it indicates that there is a problem with the line connection, try to check the network cable Connection or change the root network cable to try. Please check: The cable is connected to the LED but does not light how to do?
Attention matters
L Broadband cable must be connected to the router's WAN port. The WAN port is different from the other four ports and is physically separated, and the computer is connected to any port numbered 1/2/3/4. Please be careful to confirm that if the line is wrong, it must not be on the net.

Step Two: Configure your computer.
Computers and routers need to communicate, so the first thing to do is to set up the computer. For most computers, the default does not need to do any settings, you can skip this step directly to step three, if you are unable to log in to the router management interface in step three, you can return to configure the computer's IP address.
Windows 2000/XP System:
Double-click the local connection "small computer" icon in the lower right corner of the computer desktop
(If there is no network card icon in the lower right corner of the computer, enter the method as "Start-Control Panel-Network connection-double click Local Connection"), and then configure it according to the figure below.
Windows 7/vista System:
Click on the network connection icon in the lower right corner of the desktop
, click "Open Network and Sharing center--Change adapter settings/Manage Network Connections--right-click Local Connection--Properties" (or click the "Start button--Control panel--Network and internet--network and Sharing Center--Change adapter settings/Manage Network Connections--right-click Local Connection--Properties "), and then follow the figure below to configure it.
If you have an Apple imac notebook, please refer to the method of setting IP address:
Http://service.tp-link.com.cn/detail_Article_196.html
After the above configuration, your computer will automatically "Ask the router" IP address, routers will also receive the request after the allocation of parameters to the computer, after the success of the computer click on the lower right corner of the small computer icon, the local connection status of the "Support" tab can see the parameters of the computer, the following figure (XP system as an example):

Step three: Set up a router to surf the internet
① Open the Web browser, in the Address bar input http://192.168.1.1 open the management interface of the router, in the pop-up login box to enter the router's management account (user name: admin password: admin);
If you cannot open the management interface for your router, check that the IP address you entered is correct and that the "." The ending of the Chinese format. If you still can not log in please refer to: Not login Router management interface How to do?
② Select the "Setup Wizard" and click "Next";
③ Choose the right way to surf the internet (Common Internet has PPPoE, dynamic IP address, static IP address three kinds of, please select your Internet way according to the description below);
PPPOE: dial-up Internet access, stand-alone (when not using a router) using the Windows system's own broadband connection
To dial, the operator gave a username and password. This is the most common way of surfing the Internet, ADSL line is generally the way the Internet.
PPPoE to enter a broadband username and password
Attention matters
L Many users can not access the network because of the wrong username and password, so please carefully check the input of the broadband username and password is correct, pay attention to distinguish between Chinese and English input, letter case, suffix is full input.
Static IP Address: Front-End operators to provide a fixed IP address, gateway, DNS and so on, in some optical fiber circuits have applications.
Static IP to enter the operator to your IP address, gateway and other parameters
Dynamic IP: No router before, the computer as long as the link to a good line, do not need to dial, also do not have to set IP address, etc. will be able to access the Internet, in the community broadband, campus network and other environments will have applications.
Dynamic IP Direct point "next" on the line
④ set the wireless name and password (if it is a wired broadband router, this step skips);
The SSID, which is the wireless network name of the router, can be set by itself, and it is recommended to use an SSID with alphanumeric combinations. Wireless password is connected to the wireless network credentials, set up to protect your router's wireless security, to prevent others from rubbing the net.
Set your own wireless signal name and password, click "Next"
Attention matters
L Wireless name SSID is recommended to be set to a combination of letters or numbers, try not to use Chinese, special characters, to avoid some wireless clients do not support Chinese or special characters caused by the inability to connect.
L Tp-link Router The default wireless signal name is "TP-LINK_ six hexadecimal characters" and unencrypted, where six hexadecimal characters are the latter six digits of the router MAC address, and the MAC address can be seen from the label on the bottom of the device.
l To ensure your network security and network stability, it is recommended that you set up a wireless password to prevent others from illegally rubbing the net.
⑤ Setup complete.
After the reboot to enter the management interface (http://192.168.1.1), open the running state, wait 1-2 minutes, normally at this time to see the status of the WAN port IP address after the specific parameters rather than 0.0.0.0, indicating that the router has been connected to the Internet. If you see the parameter is 0.0.0.0, please refer to: WAN Port status did not get the IP address how to do?

Step four: Try the computer to the Internet?
After viewing the router interface's WAN port has obtained the IP address, the computer may browse the webpage, the landing qq.
If you can login QQ, but not open the Web page, there may be a problem with the DNS parameters on the computer or the computer's browser settings, you can try to get the computer to regain the parameters (the computer network cable disconnected 20 seconds and then plug in) or other browsers (such as Firefox, Google browser) to try; Please see: Wan Port with IP address but not on the net how to do?
Attention matters
L After using the router, after setting the router with the parameters, the following computer can open the Web page directly, no longer use the "broadband connection" on the computer to dial.

Step five: How do other computers surf the internet?
Through the above operation, you are operating the computer will be able to surf the internet, but if there is a computer, how can you surf the Internet?
If you have a desktop, network TV and other wired devices want to surf the Internet, directly connect the device to the router's LAN 1/2/3/4 any idle port, and then follow the steps above the two configuration of the computer can be connected to the Internet, no need to configure the router.
If you have a notebook, iPad, mobile phone and other wireless devices to the Internet, please see the next section of the wireless settings.
