“Without access to the Internet” - we solve the main reason. Setting up a Wi-Fi router to work with a provider
Hello! I will probably continue a series of articles on setting up Wi-Fi routers, solving problems with a wireless network, and the like. I have already seen many times that this topic is very popular and when setting up Wi-Fi, a lot of different errors can occur. We have already considered some problems and tried to solve them. I most likely will not be mistaken if I say that when setting up a Wi-Fi router, the most common mistake is -.
To know the enemy in person :), I will attach screenshots of this error.
If the computer is connected to the router via Wi-Fi, then the problem looks like this (network layer with yellow triangle):
When connecting to the Internet through a router via a network cable, the error looks like this (computer with yellow triangle):
On mobile devices (phones, smartphones, tablets), such a problem with Wi-Fi looks like this:
The device connects to Wi-Fi, the status is that everything is connected, but sites do not open and programs that use the Internet do not work.
About solving this problem, I have already written a large article. In it, I wrote about solving problems through which there may be a problem in the form of “Without access to the Internet”. But one of the main reasons is the incorrect setting of the Wi-Fi router, or rather the tabs WAN, on which you need to specify the settings of the provider. In this article, we will take a closer look at how to set up a Wi-Fi router to work with a provider and make Internet access.
I’ll tell you more, the process of setting up the router itself is just specifying the settings from the provider and, if necessary, cloning the MAC address, well, except for other little things that you can read about in the article.
After you right in the settings of the router, specify the data that the provider provided to you, then the Internet should immediately work, well, the maximum after rebooting the router.
Let me give you a screenshot of a recent comment on this blog to make it even clearer:
And here is how “Voffka” solved this problem:
So friends, now let's get to the point, otherwise I have an introduction more than the main part :). But we have to figure everything out.
“Without access to the Internet” - check the provider settings on the Wi-Fi router
I will show with an example TP Link TL-WR841N, as always:).
First of all, we need to find out what technology your provider uses to connect. For example, in the TL-WR841N in the settings on the tab WAN one of the technologies can be specified:
- Dynamic IP
- static IP
- PPTP/Russia PPTP
- Big Pond Cable
- L2TP/Russia L2TP
- PPTP/Russia PPTP
And depending on which technology you choose, you can specify additional information that the provider most likely provided you when connecting. For example, if technology static IP, then the provider must give you an IP address and other information to connect. If technology PPTP/Russia PPTP then you can specify login, password, IP (if it is needed). If the provider allocates a dynamic IP address, then simply set Dynamic IP and everything works. This is how it is for me, the provider uses a dynamic IP.
So you need to find out what technology your provider uses. How to do it? You can look in the documents that you received when connecting, you can search for information on the provider's website, or you can just call and ask. Say that you are setting up the Internet on a Wi-Fi router, and do not know what type of connection and what settings to specify in the router settings. You must provide the required information.
You have learned what settings you need to specify, now for clarity, I will show you how to specify these settings in the router itself.
We go to the control panel of the router. To do this, in the address bar of the browser, type 192.168.1.1 (if it does not work, then look at the address below the router). Enter your username and password, the default is admin and admin (if you haven't changed it).
Go to tab “Network”, then WAN.
For example, I show settings for Kyivstar Home Internet (Ukraine). This provider, as I already wrote, uses a dynamic IP. Therefore, in order for the Internet to work, on the contrary WAN Connection Type: indicate Dynamic IP, press the button Save, reboot the router and rejoice, (I hope :)).
For another example, the setting for the Beeline \ Corbin provider.
As far as I know, this provider uses technology L2TP(English L2TP). Therefore, opposite WAN Connection Type: specify L2TP/Russia L2TP.
User Name and Password - specify the data of your connection (most likely, you received them when connecting).
Server IP Address/Name: – VPN Server tp.internet.beeline.ru
WAN Connection Mode: - select Connect Automatically.
To save, press the button Save.
After making these settings, everything should work. If I'm not mistaken, then none of these providers use MAC address binding. Well, if your provider binds to MAC, then read on.
Clone the MAC address from the computer to the Wi-Fi router
If your provider binds the connection to the MAC address, then for the Internet connection to work, you also need to clone the MAC address from the computer to the router. You can read more about the MAC address.
Necessarily!
You need to connect the router via a network cable to a computer on which the Internet used to work.
In the router settings, go to the tab “Network” – MAC Clone. Click the button “Clone MAC Address” and button Save. Reboot your router.
That's it, setup is complete. I hope everything worked out for you.
Afterword
I tried to make this article simple and understandable, it seems to work. The most important thing is to lay out the material in the right sequence and remove unnecessary information that will only confuse the reader.
