On-campus wireless router Internet access setup procedure Analysis

The campus network is always controlled by the network speed and traffic. Therefore, many students have chosen wireless Internet access. Here, we will introduce how to set up wireless routers to access the Internet on campus. Inevitably, we need to follow the instructions to install the hardware. it is not difficult for everyone to repeat it.

Before configuring a wireless router to access the Internet, you must know two parameters: the user name and password of the wireless router, and the Management IP address of the wireless router. Generally, the default Management IP address of a wireless router is 192.168.1.1, and the user name and password are admin (some are guest, mainly based on the instructions in the Manual ).

In the address bar of the web page, enter the default IP192.168.1.1 management. In the displayed dialog box, enter the user name and password To Go To The vro setting page. To configure a wireless router, the IP address of the PC must be in the same network segment as the management IP address of the wireless router. If it is changed to 192.168.1.20., 232 can be any number between 2 and. The subnet mask can be set by default, and the gateway does not need to be set. After entering the configuration page of the wireless router to access the Internet, the system will automatically pop up a "setting wizard ". In the setup wizard, only WAN port settings are provided. We recommend that you ignore the "setting wizard" and directly go to the "Network parameter settings" option.

1. Network parameter settings

In the network parameter settings of the wireless router, you must set the parameters of the LAN port and WAN port. In practical applications, many users only set the WAN port, and the LAN port settings keep the default status of the wireless router. Configure the WAN port after configuring the LAN port information. Before configuring the WAN port, you must first determine the access type of your bandwidth, fixed IP address, dynamic IP address, PPPoE virtual dialing, PPTP, L2TP, 802.1X + Dynamic IP address, or 802.1X + static IP. If it is a fixed IP address (ADSL) broadband, select "static IP" for the WAN port connection type, and enter the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS server address.
 
2. Set the SSID for wireless network parameters

Frequency Band: "Channel" is also called a Channel. wireless signals are used as the data signal transmission Channel for transmitting media. The frequency band is divided into 11 or 13 channels. Mobile phone signals, child hosts, and some electromagnetic interference may interfere with wireless signals. This can be solved by adjusting the channel. Therefore, if a channel feels that the network speed is not smooth, you can try to change other channels and adjust them to the appropriate channel according to your own environment. Generally, the default channel value of the wireless router manufacturer is 6.

Security Settings: Because the wireless network is a relatively open network, as long as there is a signal coverage, enter the correct SSID number to access the Internet, in order to restrict illegal access, when using a wireless router to access the Internet, it has built-in security settings. Many users set complex encryption to improve the security performance of wireless networks. However, the more complicated the encryption mode is, the lower the communication efficiency of wireless networks. If you do not have high requirements for wireless network security, we recommend that you cancel the security settings. Wireless Router Internet Security Settings wireless network MAC address filtering: this setting is used to prevent unauthorized users from accessing the wireless network. You can set, restrict or allow the physical addresses of some MAC addresses to access the wireless network by querying the NIC attributes. In contrast, MAC address filtering is more effective than data encryption, and does not affect the transmission performance of wireless networks. To accurately obtain the MAC address of the PC connected to the wireless router, you can view the MAC address of all the machines connected to the wireless router in "host status.

3. DHCP service settings

Client list: You can view all active users who access the Internet through the wireless router through the client list function. Static Address Allocation: Through the static address allocation function, you can specify an IP address for the PC on the vro side and an IP address based on the MAC address of the NIC on the PC side.

4. Set forwarding rule options

Virtual Server: the virtual server defines the ing between the WAN service port and the lan network server, all accesses to the WAN service port will be relocated to the LAN network server specified by the IP address ). Virtual Server Settings

Dmz host: in some special cases, a computer in the LAN must be completely exposed to the WAN for bidirectional communication. In this case, you can set the computer as a DMZ host. In general, this setting is rarely used. UPnP setting: UPnP universal plug-and-play is a common architecture for peer-to-peer network connections between PCs and network devices, especially in the home network. For machines that use wireless routers to access the Internet, when using BT, MSN and some software, you usually need to open some ports. If UPnP is disabled, the download speed of BT will slow down and MSN video chat will not work properly. To ensure the normal operation of Internet applications, you must enable the UPnP settings.

It is true that different vro settings are generated for different needs of each user and for different manufacturers. Therefore, please follow the instructions for creating your own vro!
