    overall rating:

    Windows crashed on the laptop. I tried to do it myself and almost lost all the photos. But there is a photo of the child from birth!!! My wife would kill me! I called Compolife and explained the situation. In general, they said not to touch anything else and sent a service engineer. An hour later he arrived and spent another 3 hours restoring all the photos. I WAS ABLE TO SAVE EVERYTHING! Well, I installed a new seven later with programs. I thought it would be expensive, although I didn’t mind spending any money for the photos, but in the end it turned out to be less than I expected. If anything happens now I will only contact them.

    They gave me a tablet as a gift and it turned out that without Wi-Fi and a router it is practically useless. I didn’t expect that the guys would cope in one day, and I would already be able to join my favorite classmates. We installed the router and configured it. Now I can walk around the entire apartment with a tablet. Thank you! I'll give it four so you have something else to strive for.


    Installing a wifi router - one for everyone and everything for one!

    Modern age information technologies dictates its terms: the number of computers per capita is constantly growing. More and more more people prefers computer technology: it is convenient and sometimes necessary. Many families in Moscow have several computers at once. It can be a stationary personal computer, a laptop or netbook, a tablet, a communicator, or mobile phone with great functionality.

    So, there are several computers in the family and everyone needs access to the Internet. But, as a rule, in one apartment or a private house There is only one channel to the Internet from the provider.

    In order for several computers to connect to it at once, you need to install a wifi router. This is many times more convenient than using one channel, connecting the modem or network cable To different computers. In addition, not all providers allow the use of their channel with different computers.

    Installing a router at home, what is the benefit?

    • No extra wires.
    • High data transfer speed (up to 900 Mb/s).
    • Quickly add new devices to the network.

    Installing wifi at home, in an apartment or office is our job!

In this article I will tell you how to set up wi-fi from scratch. First you need to configure wireless network on the router, and then on the laptop. Using a simple step by step instructions even a beginner will be able to set up the Internet on TP-Link and D-Link routers, which are most common in the CIS.

Setting up a wi-fi router

Step 1. We connect the router to the network using a power supply. Turn on the power with the ON button, if the router has such a button.

Step 2. We connect the router to a laptop or computer using an ethernet cable (patch cord), which comes with the router. You need to connect the cable to the port of the computer’s network card and to the LAN1 port of the router. (In no case to the WAN port - you won’t be able to configure it through it)

Step 3. We check that on the computer in the properties of the network card we have selected automatic acquisition of an IP address. To do this, go here: “Start” -> “ Control Panel» -> « Network and Sharing Center» -> «» -> « Connection via local network »

Attention! In chapter " Changing adapter settings» You may have multiple connections displayed. For example, Local Area Connection, Local Area Connection 2, Wireless Network Connection, Bluetooth Network Connection 2 etc. How to find the right one among these connections?

Firstly, By default, a wired connection in Windows 7 and 8 is called "Local Area Connection". If no one managed to rename it manually, then it will be called that way. Unless there may be a number at the end - most often “2”. This is the case if the computer has several network cards installed (relevant for desktop computers, because in 99% of cases a laptop comes from the factory with only one wired network adapter)

Secondly, the connection we need should be active, since you connected the computer and the switched-on router using a cable: the connection icon should glow bright (usually blue if your Windows uses a standard icon pack), i.e. the icon should not be grayed out. See picture:

Here, we have found the desired active wired network connection.
Step 3.1. Right-click on the active wired connection we need and select “Properties”:

Step 3.2. In the window that opens, click the “Properties” button:

Step 3.3. Select with the left mouse button “ Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) « and click the next “Properties” button at the bottom:

Step 3.4. We set both switches to the upper positions so that it is “ … … … automatically»:

Step 3.5. Click the “OK” button to save the settings.

Step 4. Open the connection window again:

Step 4.1. Click the “Details” button:

Step 4.2. In the window that opens, we find out the IP address of the default gateway:

In most cases it is 192.168.1.1

Step 5. Open the browser to go to the router’s web interface.

Step 5.1. In the address bar, enter the gateway address and press Enter:

Step 5.2. Enter your login and password:

Attention! You can find out the login details in the instructions for your device. The router may include instructions on paper or in PDF document format on the included disk.

If the instructions are lost, you can try to download it from the manufacturer’s website. For example, http://dlink.ru, http://asus.com, http://tplink.com.

Often in a new device the default login = admin and password = admin. It also happens that login = admin and the password is empty.

Step 5.3. After you have logged into the router’s web interface, open the wireless network (wi-fi) settings:

(illustrated in example TP-Link TL-WR841ND and D-Link DIR-300 NRU)

Step 6. The actual setup of the wireless connection.

Step 6.1. We disable WI-FI protected setup, because This feature is a serious security hole and could allow an attacker to hack your Wi-Fi network and gain access to your information.

Step 6.2. We check that the Wi-Fi network is enabled: the “Enable wireless” checkbox is checked if it is D-Link.

Step 6.3. Let's set a name for our wireless network.

If the default is dlink or home, then it is recommended to specify some original name to avoid confusion with neighboring networks of the same name.

Step 6.4. Set security parameters. We strongly recommend using the following options:

  • security mode WPA2 ;
  • encryption type AES;
  • key type PSK(aka Personal Key).

After specifying all the parameters, do not forget to click the save settings button!

On a TP-Link router:

in D-Link:

Setting up Wi-Fi on a computer (laptop)

In this section we will show you how to set up Wi-Fi on a laptop with Windows 7.

Step 1. Find it on the taskbar near the clock network connections icon and click on it with the left mouse button once. A list of available wireless networks will open:

Step 2. Find your wireless network in the list (it will have the name you specified in the previous paragraph) and left-click on this network.

Step 3. Leave the “Connect automatically” checkbox checked and click the “Connect” button:

Step 4. Enter your security key Wi-Fi networks. This is the character set that you specified in the “Network Key” field. After entering the key, click "OK":

After clicking “OK”, the connection to your wireless network occurs.

After a few seconds, the previous window will disappear, and the network connections icon near the clock will change its appearance.

Now, when you click on the network connections icon, you will see that the computer is connected to your wi-fi network, but at the top you can see the inscription “ Without Internet access", because We have not yet configured the Internet on the router:

Setting up the Internet on the router

We set up a wi-fi network on the router and connected to it from a computer. All we have to do is help the router see the Internet so that the router can distribute the Internet to any devices that connect to it via wi-fi or cable.

Step 1. In order for the Internet to appear on computers, you need to set up a connection with the provider on the router. We show the example of the same D-Link

Step 1.1. Type the IP address of the router in the address bar

Step 1.2. Enter your login and password and click “Log in”:

Step 2. Go to the Internet settings section. Different router manufacturers may call it differently: WAN Setup, Internet settings, etc. In our D-Link this section is called “Internet Setup”:

Step 3. We get to the WAN port settings section.

Step 3.1. Uncheck “Enable Access Point Mode”.

Attention! For other manufacturers, this option may be called “Disable NAT”. The bottom line is that the “Access Point” mode disables NAT and turns the router into an access point. This option will be useful if this router is connected not to the provider, but to another of your routers.

Step 3.2. Select the type of connection with the provider.

To find out what settings you need to select to connect specifically to your provider, you can:

  • in the contract;
  • on the provider's website;
  • by calling hotline provider

The most commonly used type these days is Dynamic IP.

Step 3.3. If your provider allows connections only from a registered MAC address, you have 2 ways to resolve the issue.

  1. Go to the provider’s office with your passport and register a new MAC address;
  2. Enter in the MAC address field the MAC address of the network card of the device from which you successfully accessed the Internet before purchasing the router. Typically, this is the MAC address of the computer's wired network card.

Step 3.4. We specify the DNS server if the instructions from the provider require it.

Step 3.5. Select the MTU value. If the provider does not require you to change this value, we recommend leaving it as it is: 1500.

Step 3.6. Saving the settings

Attention! If you have lost the agreement document with your provider, which contains the details, then, as a last resort, you can always go to the office of your provider with your passport and find out all the comprehensive information: connection type, MAC address, login, password, MTU, etc.

According to my observations, few of those who were able to independently connect wifi router, if there wired Internet, knew how to do it RIGHT. That is, use it to set up a wireless network and combine different devices into it. As a result, they subsequently encounter difficulties that could have been solved at the local network design stage.

How to connect a wifi router?

Before you start step by step description regarding connecting a Wi-Fi router, I want to draw your attention to one point.

To create a full-fledged local wireless network, you need to buy a device such as a ROUTER, or also called a ROUTER.

The fact is that there are a lot of devices that are similar in appearance and functionality. for various purposes. For example, out of ignorance it is easy to confuse it with a wired router without WiFi, which also distributes the Internet signal to devices. But only with the help of cables - it does not have an antenna.

Another device similar in design appearance- access point. In general, her tasks are slightly different from ours. A characteristic difference between a router and an access point is the presence of several outlets for network cables. While at the point there is usually only one.


The point of connecting a router is that it is now it, and not your PC, that will connect to the Internet via cable. To do this, all the necessary parameters required to connect to the provider, which were once applied on your desktop computer, will now be specified in the router settings. And all other devices will already receive Internet via wifi from it and according to the rules that will be specified in it.

For clarity, look at the diagram:


In order to connect a router at home and set up a Wi-Fi network, I used a dozen models from completely different manufacturers. I can say with confidence that in terms of the configuration itself WiFi router and connection to the provider, the difference between them lies only in the details of the graphic design of the admin panel. Therefore, having mastered the principle once on one model, you can apply them to others. Today, as an example, I will illustrate with screenshots from two routers - TrendNet TEW-632BRP and ASUS WL-520GC.

How to connect a router to the Internet via DHCP?

The first setting we will look at is setting up a DHCP server.
If previously there was only one computer and it alone received an IP address from the provider, then we can connect many computers and gadgets to the router. This means that it is the router, instead of the computer, that will “communicate” with the provider’s equipment. And within the framework of our home network between these devices, it will itself assign an internal IP address to each computer, laptop, phone, TV and everything else.

Procedure:

  1. After connecting to the power supply, first of all you need to configure the router to communicate with the computer. To do this, insert the Internet cable into the WAN slot on the device. And we connect the other cable, with two plugs, which most likely came with the device, at one end to the computer’s network card. Where there used to be an internet cable. Others - in any of the LAN1, LAN2, LAN3 or LAN4 slots of the router.

    I also want to note that it is better to connect the router to the network through an uninterruptible power supply. I had an unpleasant experience when a good Netgear device froze due to a power surge. It simply began broadcasting wifi not at 100, but at 2 meters. Of course, I had to buy a new one.

  2. Next, take the installation disk that came with the router. And we start installing drivers and software.
  3. After this, we need to configure the computer to work with the router. Now our network card is configured to connect directly to the Internet through the provider. This means that perhaps the control panel contains some data that is important for us to save and use later when working with the router. To do this, go to the settings of the TCP/IP v.4 protocol as shown in the diagram:

    For Windows XP: “Start > Control Panel > Switch to Classic View > Network Connections.”

    In Windows 7: Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Control network connections>Changes adapter settings."

    In the screenshot, I go to the “Wireless Connection” settings, but you don’t have it yet, and since we connected the computer to the router with a cable, you need to select the “Local Area Connection” item:

    If you have something indicated here, then write down this data on a piece of paper. This is especially true for those who have lost their contract for the provision of services and do not know the data for connecting to the World Wide Web. For a certain type of connection, which will be discussed below, this may be useful. After this, here, in the network connection settings on your computer, you need to set the IP, gateway and DNS to automatic. We will already enter these parameters in the wireless router itself.

  4. After that, go to the address “http://192.168.1.1”. Typically, configurations with the router occur here, if they did not have to be done at the software installation stage. But look in the instructions for the device to see which way to go to the router’s control panel. Since the default preset IP on different models may differ. Also another popular placement brief instructions— sticker on the bottom of the device. Look there too. If there are no instructions in the instructions, or it is lost, then go to the Control Panel, as I already described above. Only after right-clicking on “Local Area Connection” in the window that appears, click the “Details” button. In the window that opens, look for IPv4 Default Gateway - this is the IP address of the router.

  5. Now, finally, go to the address indicated there through the browser (http://IP ADDRESS OF YOUR ROUTER). And we find the DHCP Server item in the menu (in Trendnet it is combined with WAN) and set the range of values ​​​​for possible IP addresses of devices within your local network. For me it was like this: Start IP - 192.168.10.101, End IP 192.168.10.200. And of course, opposite the DHCP Server item there should be an Enabled parameter. Domain Name or Host Name is the name of the future home wifi network. Let me make a reservation right away that the screenshots below were taken from my devices, which are already working or have been working for several years. Their interface is in English, so it would be difficult for a domestic beginner to figure out what’s what without help - I hope these pictures will help you. Most modern firmware and software are already in Russified form, so it will be even easier to understand.

    This is what it looked like on Trendnet (highlighted in red):

    And here it is in ASUS:

Setting up a computer connection to the router via LAN

Now we will set the parameters for our wifi network at home - IP and router mask. For Trendnet this is the same item (see Figure 1, highlighted in green), for Asus - the WAN & LAN section - at the very bottom of the settings page. In the first case I set IP 192.168.10.1, in the second - 192.168.1.1. This is the address within the local network at which we can access the admin panel through a browser. And through which computers will access the Internet. Mask - default, 255.255.255.0

Connecting a WiFi router to the Internet via the WAN port

These were all the flowers, now the most interesting part is setting up the external connection of the router to the Internet.
There are several types depending on the provider settings. This happens in the WAN menu.



There are several other options for connecting to the provider’s equipment, but I didn’t come across them. Therefore, I will not talk about them for now.

How to encrypt your WiFi connection

If you did everything correctly and saved all the settings, then all devices that support wifi should now see new network with the name you specified. However, the question of how to connect wifi at home is not yet closed. Home wifi network It turned out to be open, that is, anyone can use your Internet access for free. In order to ruin everyone and make the wifi network at home accessible only to its owner, you need to protect the wireless network.

There are several methods, I have used two in my practice: WPE (or Shared Key) and WPA. The latter is more reliable, so I'll consider it. Go to security settings. In Trendnet this is the “Security” menu item, in Asus it is “Wireless > Interface”.

Select WPE or WPA Personal (PSK, TKIP) from the menu and set a password for authorization - from 7 to 64 characters. And we save. I show you how it was for me:



Well, now to access the Internet through your router, you need to enter a password. The final touch remains - so that there are no problems with connecting various devices to the router and with the operation of programs, we will manually set the DNS server. Setting this parameter is located in the same place where you entered the parameters for connecting to the Internet. We activate the function of manually assigning DNS servers and enter the IP from Google there:

  • DNS-Primary (or DNS Server 1):8.8.8.8
  • DNS-Secondary (or DNS Server 2): 8.8.4.4

You can also specify one of the Yandex servers (for example 77.88.8.8).

As you can see, connecting wifi through a router and making a wifi network at home is quite easy. I hope everything works out for you too!

Now for the traditional video for dessert on connecting a router, which will tell you even more clearly about the typical settings for working with the network.

After installing a Wi-Fi router, many people have a question: how can they now connect a regular desktop computer that does not have Wi-Fi to the Internet? Previously, the Internet was connected to the computer via cable, but now what to do? I don't really want to lay a network cable from the router to the computer. That's why we installed the router, to get rid of wires in the house.

Yes, after installing the router and Wi-Fi settings network at home, or in the office, all laptops, tablets, phones and a number of other devices will be able to connect to the Wi-Fi network, “over the air”. These devices have a built-in Wi-Fi receiver. And if you also have a desktop computer to which you also need to connect the Internet, then there are only two options:

  1. Lay a network cable from the router to the desktop computer. But, this option is not often suitable, since you don’t always want to bother with cables, and sometimes there is simply no way to run this cable to the PC.
  2. Well, the second option, which we will talk about in this article, is connecting an external or internal Wi-Fi adapter to your computer. With its help, a regular desktop computer will be able to connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi.

I faced exactly the same situation at home. After installing the router, all devices were connected wirelessly. But I connected the computer that needed to be left behind via Wi-Fi using a USB Wi-Fi receiver. It is these receivers that I will now tell you in more detail.

Connecting your computer to Wi-Fi using an adapter. Without cable

As I wrote above, for ordinary computers that do not have built-in wireless network receivers, there are a large number of network adapters. These adapters are available both external and internal. As for the prices, they are not very expensive. Of course there is different models, from different manufacturers. But the cheapest one will cost you about 6-7 dollars (these are devices from popular manufacturers). Tenda has inexpensive models. For example, I also have an inexpensive external USB Wi-Fi adapter TP-LINK TL-WN721N. It looks like this:

Works great. You will need to prepare instructions for setting it up on a PC. By the way, many people call such adapters “flash drives for connecting to Wi-Fi” :)

How to choose a Wi-Fi adapter for a computer: external and internal

Let's figure out what these adapters are and how to choose such an adapter for your PC. This means that they are external and internal.

External adapters

Connect to the USB connector of the computer. To install it, you do not need to open the system unit, this is undoubtedly a plus. They look like regular flash drives. There are small ones, like those in the picture above, and there are also ones with antennas. I recommend buying those with antennas if the Wi-Fi signal in the room where you have your computer is not very strong.

If you are not very computer savvy, I recommend buying an external Wi-Fi receiver. Almost anyone will do. The installation is not false: you plug the adapter into the computer’s USB connector, install the drivers, and that’s it, you can do it.

Here are some more photos of external adapters:

Internal adapters

These adapters plug into the PCI (or PCI Express) connector on motherboard your computer. It is clear that to install such an adapter you need to disassemble the system unit. Installation is also not difficult at all. Removed the cover from system unit, installed the adapter in the PCI slot, rebooted the computer, installed the driver and that’s it.

Outside the system unit, the adapter antenna, or even several, will peek out. This is all for better reception. After all, if a regular USB receiver can be connected via an extension cord so that it can better receive the signal, then this will not work with an internal adapter.

Here's what the internal PCI adapters look like:

Which adapter is best to buy to connect a regular computer to Wi-Fi? Yes, in principle, what's the difference. But for some reason it seems to me that external USB adapters are more convenient and practical. They can be connected to another computer without any problems. The connection and installation process is a little simpler.

As you can see, connecting a desktop computer to a Wi-Fi network is not at all difficult. But you can get rid of the wires. This is especially true if the router is located far from the computer.

Connecting to a wireless network is the most convenient way to access the Internet at good speed without unnecessary wires. However, to enjoy all the benefits of a wireless connection, you must first understand how to set up Wi-Fi on a laptop.

Enabling the adapter

Before you start creating a new connection, you need to check if the Wi-FI adapter is turned on.

Each laptop model has its own function key to turn the adapter on/off. For example, ASUS laptops use the combination Fn+F2, and Acer laptops use Fn+F3. On some Lenovo models, adapter status is controlled using a hardware switch located on the front panel.

To determine which key you have installed, look at the F1-F12 row. One of the buttons should have an icon - an antenna that distributes a signal. Press this button in combination with the Fn key and check that the Wi-Fi adapter indicator light changes from red to blue or green.

What to do if the Wi-Fi adapter does not turn on?

There are situations when, after pressing function key the adapter does not turn on. Typically this problem occurs due to one of the following reasons:

  • Incorrectly installed drivers.
  • Incorrect operation of the system.
  • Virus infection of laptop.

Until you eliminate the cause, the question of how to set up Wi-Fi in a laptop will not receive a positive resolution. Most often, the problem lies in incorrectly installed drivers, but it would also be a good idea to check the system for viruses. If no malicious applications are found, reinstall the drivers Wi-Fi module and try turning it on again.

How to set up Wi-Fi on a laptop

Setting up on Windows XP

To configure, you just need to correctly specify some parameters of the wireless connection:


If you have set a password for your wireless connection, you will be required to provide a security key, after which the connection will be established.

Setting up on Windows 7

We've sorted out XP, now let's see how to set up a wireless network on a laptop with installed Windows 7. There are practically no fundamental differences:


This completes the wifi setup on a Windows 7 laptop. When connected, you enter the security key and gain access to the Internet.

For Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 there are no differences in settings from the seventh version. The list of networks available for connection can be called up directly from the notification panel - there is a special Wi-Fi icon in the tray.
