Precautions for choosing a home wireless router

Wireless routers are no stranger to everyone, and many families are using them. How do I set up a wireless router? The default settings at the factory can be used sometimes. However, wireless networks without any encryption measures have security risks, so we do not recommend that you use them. Next I will take the MWR300T + 11N wireless router of mercury as an example to explain how to set up a wireless router. To get a wireless router, let's take a look at its exterior structure. On the front panel, we can see PWR lights, SYS lights, WLAN lights, 1-4 LAN lights, WAN lights, and a WPS lamp arranged from left to right.

The functions of each indicator are as follows:

PWR: power indicator. If the power supply is off, the power supply is not connected. If the power supply is on, the power is powered on.
SYS: system status indicator. If the device is off, the device is initializing. If the device is blinking, the device is working normally.
WLAN: Wireless status indicator. If the feature is disabled, the wireless feature is not enabled. If the feature is blinking, the feature is enabled.
1-4: Lan status indicator. The device is not connected to the port. The device is blinking and the port is transmitting data. The device is always on and the port is connected to the device.
WAN: WAN status indicator. The device is not connected to the port. The device is blinking and data is being transmitted. the device is always on and connected to the port.
WPS: one-click Security Setting indicator. The connection is green and secure. The connection is green. The connection is successful. The connection is red and fails.

Let's take a look at the router's back panel, which has a WAN port and four LAN ports respectively. The WAN port is used to connect to the Internet, while the LAN port is used to connect to the computer's Nic. Connect these ports with a network cable and connect them to the power supply. Then you can configure the wireless router. After the connection is complete, enter the IP address "192.168.1.1" in the IE Address Bar and press enter to bring up the login window. Enter the username "admin" and password "admin" to configure the interface. The user password and IP address are usually marked on the bottom label of the router.

TIPS: A Wireless Broadband Router can be connected through a wired or wireless connection. However, if this is the first configuration, we recommend that you use a wired connection. For new users, the wireless router provides a convenient Setup Wizard, which can be completed in just a few steps. Next, let's take a look at how to use the Setup Wizard for configuration.

If you are familiar with network settings, we recommend that you manually configure the vro. In this way, we can separately configure the LAN port and WAN port, and configure the wireless network and encrypt the wireless network. Click network parameters-LAN port settings on the left side to configure the IP Parameters of the LAN port. We can set a parameter different from the default one.
