How to Set up a wireless router to connect a wired router to a wireless router

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

Most users who have been familiar with broadband routers know that the ports on the broadband routers are divided into WAN ports and LAN ports. A Broadband Router has the following features during work: data streams from the LAN to the WAN are not restricted by default through the router, and data streams from the WAN to the LAN are not allowed by default. Note: The wireless access part of the Wireless Broadband Router belongs to the LAN range. That is to say, packets sent from the computer in the LAN are sent to the LAN port of the router by default, the router can be sent from the WAN port smoothly through the router, but after the Active packets from the WAN end enter the WAN port, the router will not let those packets pass by default.

The actual test shows that the network cable connected from the wired router can passConnect to a wireless routerBoth the WAN port and LAN port can be used for wireless networks.

Note: the premise of this article is that you have a network cable connected from a normal wired router. The network cable connects to the WAN port of the wireless router through a static IP address, for example, if the LAN port is connected to a wireless router, the wireless router is used as a Wireless AP. The following describes two Connection Methods:

The devices are: wired router is TP-LINK R460, wireless router is TP-LINK WR541G. Therefore, the first connection method is: connect the WAN port of the wireless router: TP-LINK R460 LAN port --- WR541G WAN port, the second connection method is: connect the LAN port of the wireless router namely: TP-LINK R460 LAN port --- WR541G LAN port.

How do I set up a wireless router? Connect the WAN port of the wireless router first

The WAN port of the wireless router is the TP-LINK R460 LAN port --- WR541G WAN port here assuming that the LAN port of the TP-LINK R460 uses the default IP address 192.168.1.1, you can enter the TP-LINK R460 router settings through 192.168.1.1, and TP-LINK R460 has been set properly, can access the Internet)

First, use a network cable on a computer to connect to the wireless router WR541G) LAN port. The default setting interface is 192.168.1.1. For other wireless routers, enter the actual default IP address.TP-LINK WR541G Wireless RouterIn the LAN interface, set it to 172.16.1.1, and then save the restart router, at this time TP-LINK WR541G wireless router default IP will be changed to 172.16.1.1.

Then, in the current computer Nic attribute, change the IP address to 172.16.1.X to the natural number range of 2-254), for example:

After setting, open IE, enter 172.16.1.1 in the address bar, re-enter the TP-LINK WR541G wireless router settings interface, set the WAN port of the wireless router, In the WAN port connection type select static IP, set it to: IP address 192.168.1.X (X ranges from 2 to 254) subnet mask 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway 192.168.1.1. Note that IP address 192.168.1.X, where X must have never been used in the LAN, otherwise it may cause a conflict.

After the connection is complete, view the TP-LINK WR541G wireless router connection status is as follows:

Set up to save and restart the TP-LINK WR541G wireless router. For network wireless network settings, refer to the previous Wireless LAN (router) installation and configuration process on the home page.

Description: Why do we need to set the lan ip address of the wireless router first. This is because for 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 address is 192.168.1.1, and TP-LINK R460 default IP is 192.168.1.1; to avoid IP conflict between the two, you must set the default IP address of the TP-LINK WR541G wireless router.

Note: 1. At this time, the IP address of the wireless network adapter must be set to 172.16.1.X (the X value ranges from 2 to 254), and the gateway and DNS must be set to 172.16.1.1. But if the TP-LINK WR541G wireless router opens the DHCP service, it may not need to be set.

2, enter the router set IP address, TP-LINK R460 wireless router is 192132.1.1 WR541G wireless router is 176.16.1.1

3, after the connection is complete, due to the TP-LINK WR541G wireless router, also play the router function. So the computer connected to the TP-LINK WR541G wireless router above their TCP/IP properties must be consistent with the TP-LINK WR541G wireless router!

　

How do I set up a wireless router? Connect the LAN port of the wireless router.

Wireless router LAN port: TP-LINK R460 LAN port --- WR541G LAN port here assuming that the TP-LINK R460 LAN port using the default IP address 192.168.1.1, that can enter the TP-LINK R460 router through 192.168.1.1 settings, and TP-LINK R460 has been set properly, can access the Internet)

This connection method does not use the WAN port of the TP-LINK WR541G wireless router, so there is no need to configure the WAN port, so it is relatively simple.

Since the TP-LINK WR541G wireless router default IP address 192.168.1.1, click IE, enter 192.168.1.1, enter the TP-LINK WR541G wireless router settings interface, click DHCP server -- DHCP service, disable DHCP server

Then, change the LAN port IP address of the TP-LINK WR541G wireless router, for example, to 192.168.1.254 as long as it does not conflict with other used IP addresses.

After the configuration is complete, the TP-LINK WR541G wireless router connection status is as follows, because this is the TP-LINK WR541G wireless router only to the wireless routing function, so the connection status is all empty.

The settings are complete. Save and restart the settings. For network wireless network settings, refer to the previous Wireless LAN (router) installation and configuration process on the home page.

Note: 1, because the TP-LINK WR541G wireless router and wired router TP-LINK R460 IP are 192.168.1.1, so in the setting of TP-LINK WR541G wireless router, be sure not to connect to the TP-LINK R460 router connected to the network.

2, set the 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 the wireless router LAN port IP address is what, on the actual input); TP-LINK R460 router connection IP: 192.168.1.1

3, due to the connection, the TP-LINK WR541G wireless router only plays the function of wireless routing. Therefore, when entering different vro settings, be sure to enter different IP addresses to access different vro settings. TP-LINK WR541G wireless router is equivalent to a "wireless switch", so the computer connected to WR541G their TCP/IP properties to be consistent with the TP-LINK R460! It's equivalent that these computers are connected under the TP-LINK R460!

The process of setting up a wireless router to connect a wired router to a wireless router in a LAN is described for you. It is useless to look at the text. Please follow the above steps to perform the actual operation!
