How to use a Wireless Router

This article describes how to use a wireless router in detail, and provides detailed instructions and configuration steps. I believe that after reading this article, you will have a clear understanding of using a wireless router.

A wireless router has a network cable that can be connected to its parent device (such as a vswitch or vro, or an Internet connection point such as adsl cat ), connect the covered wireless network with other networks (wired or wireless. If the access point is an ADSL cat + Broadband Router, you can follow the 568A standard at one end of the crystal head while the 568B standard at the other end (that is, the crossover line) A network cable is directly connected to the wireless network access point and the ADSL cat + Broadband Router. Of course, if the wireless network access point is connected to the HUB or switch, then both ends follow the 568A or 568B standard (that is, parallel lines.

Note: The current wireless router or the WAN port of the Wireless AP can be automatically flipped. That is to say, the two lines can be crossed or parallel lines, and they can be adjusted by themselves.

Generally, after connecting to the upper-level device, you can directly use the wireless function according to the default configuration of the wireless router. However, this is guaranteed in terms of management and security. In addition, many wireless routers have setup wizard, which can be easily completed. First, remove the network cable connected to the MODEM to connect the router, and press its default IP address to enter the WEB Settings interface.

You can use a crossover line to connect to your computer. One end is connected to the LAN port of the wireless router (note that it is not the WAN port). Then, open the IE browser, enter the default IP address of the wireless router in the address bar (refer to your product manual, generally http: // 192.168.1.1). Then, you will be prompted to enter the wireless router account and password to enter the configuration program, for more information, see the instructions.

Step 1: Pay attention to the IP address of the wireless router. In the end, we need to connect the wireless router to the Modem, so the IP addresses of the two should not be the same. Please modify the IP addresses according to the actual situation and ensure that the subnet mask is the same.

Step 2: Like Modem, we also need to enable the DHCP service function of the wireless router. Find the option to enable.

Step 3: Determine the WAN connection type. Because we have enabled the DHCP function, we should select "automatically obtain IP addresses ".

Step 4: Write down the vrossid ssid number, which is the verification ID for the network adapter to connect to the wireless network normally.

Some problems need to be clarified here. First, after dynamic IP addresses are enabled, you must set the starting IP address. This is based on the IP address of your wireless router, starting from the last digit of the IP address of the wireless router to 255.

The other is that some wireless routers allow you to set the number of users, which depends on your settings in the starting IP address. For example, the starting IP address is 150, the maximum number of users you can set is 105 (255-150.

Now, you only need to perform these steps to complete the vro settings. Restart the vro to make the settings take effect.

Note: To use a wireless router on a desktop, you only need to add a PCI wireless network card or a USB wireless network card.
