In-depth exploration of the impact of Broadband Router settings on the network

Broadband routers are widely used, and the demand for users is also high. Here we mainly introduce the problems related to canceling the binding and restoring the normal connection and using Reset to retrieve lost passwords in the configuration of broadband routers. As you know, if the IP address of the workstation is not in the same CIDR block as the IP address set by the Broadband Router, you may fail to access the webpage content.

How can we ensure that the IP address of the workstation and the IP address set for the Broadband Router are in the same network segment? There are two ways to achieve this: the first method is to first check the default IP address used by the Broadband Router settings, then, manually modify the NIC parameters of the workstation to ensure that the NIC address and the IP address set by the Broadband Router are in the same CIDR block. For example, if the IP address used by the Broadband Router is 192.168.1.1 and the mask address is 255.255.255.0, we can open the local connection attribute setting window in the local computer system, select the "Internet Protocol" parameter, click the "properties" button, and then modify the IP address of the NIC to 192.168.1.xxx on the "Internet Protocol property Settings" page, the range of "xxx" is from 2 to 254, And the subnet mask address of the NIC is set to 255.255.255.0, and the default gateway address used by the NIC is set to 192.168.1.1, in this way, the IP address of the workstation and the IP address used by the Broadband Router are in the same network segment.

The second method is to enable the built-in DHCP Service of the Broadband Router to automatically assign IP addresses to the workstation. When using this method, we first run the IE browser program, then in the address bar of the IE browser window, directly enter the IP address of the Broadband Router, click the Enter key, enter the correct account password in the Account Logon window, and then you will be able to smoothly enter the Management window for Broadband Router settings, click the "Network Parameters"/"DHCP service" commands in the menu bar, and set the parameters of the DHCP service on the settings page that appears later. Next, open the local connection property settings window in the local computer system, select the "Internet Protocol" parameter, and then click the "properties" button. Then, on the "Internet Protocol property Settings" page, set the IP address of the NIC to "automatically obtain IP Address", and set the DNS parameter to "automatically obtain DNS server address ". After completing the preceding settings, turn off the power supply of the workstation and the Broadband Router, and then connect the power supply set by the Broadband Router. After the bandwidth router is set to run stably, connect the power of the computer, so that the workstation can successfully dial the Internet through the Broadband Router.

Unbind and restore normal connection

Many ISP service providers force-bind the MAC address of the Broadband Router on the authentication server to Prevent Users From connecting too many Workstations To the Broadband Router settings for Internet sharing, to limit the number of workstations. In this case, we can use the following method to cancel binding a Broadband Router to a MAC address:

First, disconnect the connection between the Broadband Router and the Internet, connect the workstation to be bound with the MAC address to the lanport of the Broadband Router, and then use the MAC address replication function of the Broadband Router, clone the MAC address of the NIC of the local workstation to the WAN port of the Broadband Router configuration device. Many routers have the clone MAC function, in this way, we can unbind the default IP address of the Broadband Router.

Use Reset to retrieve lost passwords

If we do not manage or maintain a Broadband Router for a long time, it is easy to forget its administrator account and password. If there is no manual for configuring the Broadband Router, therefore, it is difficult for us to go to the backend Management page of the Broadband Router to manage and maintain it.

In this case, how should we retrieve the lost administrator password? In fact, some Broadband Router manufacturers have already considered this problem for users. They often have designed a Reset button in the Broadband Router control panel, and keep holding the button for several seconds, all the parameters of the device can be restored to the factory configuration. In the future, we only need to use the default user name and password, and then we can log on to the background management page set by the Broadband Router.

Troubleshoot one by one to ensure stable Internet access

In the process of using a Broadband Router to access the Internet, it is often possible that the Internet is stable, for example, frequent disconnection, long periods of access failure, otherwise it will be unable to access the Internet. In the event of such an unstable Internet connection failure, we may take the following steps to troubleshoot one by one:

First, check whether Multiple DHCP servers exist in the LAN environment connected to the Broadband Router. If so, the IP address of the workstation is prone to confusion, as a result, the Workstation may be unstable or even unable to access the Internet. Under normal circumstances, DHCP servers may be enabled for broadband routers, Windows servers, and broadband cats. Therefore, we need to check these devices one by one, make sure that only one of these devices enables the DHCP service, and the other devices disable the DHCP service. Next, check whether the configuration of the Broadband Router is in a well-ventilated and heat-dissipation location. If the configuration is not ideal, it will be prone to excessive fever after a period of time, serious faults can cause unstable Internet access. Therefore, when we are unfortunately experiencing an unstable Internet connection failure, we must touch the Broadband Router shell to see if it is hot, if yes, it can be concluded that the unstable Internet access failure is caused by the unstable heat dissipation of the Broadband Router.

If the above check does not eliminate the problem of unstable Internet access, it is necessary for the system to scan and kill the virus, because once the system is accidentally infected with the virus, A variety of strange faults may occur. Therefore, we must develop a good habit of regular virus detection and elimination and regular upgrade of the virus database to prevent network viruses from causing problems on the Internet. The above is just some experience and skills used in broadband routing. I hope it will be helpful for surfing the Internet. Only by forming good habits and correctly setting and maintaining the vro, in order to ensure the normal operation of the device and improve our Internet efficiency.
