China's broadband routers have developed rapidly and are also widely used. Here we mainly explain some methods for self-made broadband routers. I wonder if someone wants to install broadband like the author, so there is not much money, and there is no hope for it.
A few days ago, when I caught a kitten surfing the Internet and found that a website provided a method for creating a Broadband Router, I had a strange idea. I tried it myself and I felt that this method was really good. I would like to introduce it to you here, I hope that my friends who are in the "hot water" will be able to break away from the "Bitter Sea ".
If you use a Hub or Switch to connect to a LAN and use software such as sygate to share the Internet, the cost will be high, and the implementation will be quite troublesome. Imagine using such a device to share the Internet with others, your machine cannot be shut down for 24 hours, which is a kind of torment for the machine and yourself. Let alone buy a new broadband router. I have introduced this method with low investment and convenient implementation. Now, let's proceed to the topic.
First, I moved out of my Pentium-level old machine, pentiumloud, 16 M memory, and spent dozens of dollars to buy two RTL8029 NICs. After assembling them, the hardware was ready. Next, you need to log on and customize the software for creating a Broadband Router. After logging on to the website, click "simplified Chinese" and "Download Software" to go to the relevant page. Select the first option to create and download the image file of the vro boot disk. If an error is prompted, you need to install the Java Virtual Machine. I am using Win2000Pro, And the browser has built-in JVM ).
After the production wizard appears, click Next. A window appears asking you to enter the IP address and subnet mask of the Broadband Router in the network. If there are no special requirements, this step does not need to be changed ). Select the CPU model and memory size. I use Pentium 133. Therefore, select "Intel Pentium Generic" and then select the memory capacity. Next, you are required to select the network card type to connect to the LAN. I will select the Tp-link RTL8029 10 M PCI network card. After selecting the NIC, you will be asked to enter the NIC interrupt number. I use a PCI Nic, so you do not need to enter it. If you are using an ISA Nic, you must enter it carefully. After the Intranet is configured, you need to set the network card used to connect to the Internet. Click Next and ask you to select the bandwidth type. I use ADSL and PPPoE. If it is a DHCP Lan, select DHCP, And the Modem must select the PPP protocol.
Next, download the bandwidth router management software-BBIagent manager BBIagent. jar to the computer that will be used to manage the router in the future, that is, my own computer. Set the IP address to 192.168.2.2 ~ Any one of 192.168.2.254, subnet mask 255.255.0, Gateway 192.168.2.1, and DNS 192.168.2.1. After the vro is started, make sure that the computer in the network is in the same network segment as the Broadband Router, the Intranet computer can Ping the Broadband Router. Open IE, enter 192.168.2.1 in the address bar, and press Enter. On the router page, enter the path of the Manager software and Click Upload. The router page is different from the previous one, after entering the default password "BBIagent", you can enter the Broadband Router Management page for various settings. Finally, do not forget to select "automatically connect after vro is started" and save the settings. In the future, even if the Broadband Router is restarted for other reasons, as long as the floppy disk is in the soft drive, you do not have to worry that other users will lose the network. After the configuration is complete, click "Connect" to start working on the vro. If there is data transmission, you will find that the keyboard lights will flash. The keyboard lights are just as interesting as the Swith indicators.
After a period of use, I feel that the computer in the network is working very stably and the speed of opening the webpage is also very fast. This Broadband Router is also very stable. Because only the motherboard and network card related devices are working, the power consumption is very low. The monitor can be switched off only when it is started. In this way, a Broadband Router cannot be powered once when it is on for 24 hours. I use it to share broadband Internet access with 11 machines in my neighbor. I pay 20 yuan for each person. I have paid the network fee and the electricity fee every month. In this way, why not?
