Connecting to a beeline router. Configuring a Beeline router

Router TP-Link TL-WR841N is one of the most popular models routers, which has proven itself better side and, as a result, it is in high demand among many users. In this article, we will take a closer look at the procedure for connecting and configuring a router, including, in detail, we will talk about configuring a wireless Wi-Fi network.

Brief specifications TP-Link TL-WR841N

How to connect a router

The delivery set of the router includes:

• Router TL-WR841N;
• Power adapter;
• Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors;
• CD for quick setup;
• Management.

We unpack the box and proceed with the installation and connection of the router. First, we connect the device to power using the adapter and click on Power button on the rear panel (if the indicators on the router light up themselves after power is applied, then you do not need to press the button).

Next, using the included Ethernet cable, we connect the router and computer. We plug one end of the cable into one of the four yellow LAN ports of the router, and the other into the connector network card PC. Then we connect the cable coming from the Internet provider or ADSL modem to the blue WAN connector of the router.

In principle, that's all, now you can proceed directly to configuring the router, but first let us make a reservation that it comes with a CD with a utility that allows you to quickly configure the router in step by step... We will not consider this method, because the configuration option via the web interface is preferable.

Basic configuration of the TP-Link TL-WR841N router

Since the router will now be responsible for connecting to the Internet and distributing it, the need for the previously created in Windows high speed connection no. At the same time, connecting via local network connecting your computer and router needs to be configured. Go to Control Panel - Network Control Center and general access- Change adapter settings... Clicking right click mouse on active connection and select the item "Properties".

Set the switches on the "Network" tab to the "Obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS address-servers automatically ".

We also put the switch on the "Alternative configuration" tab in the automatic setting position. We save the changes with the "OK" button.

Now we launch any browser and in address bar prescribe http://tplinklogin.net/ or 192.168.0.1 ... Then, in the window that opens, enter the username and password - by default, this is admin and admin.

The default username and password can be found on a label on the bottom of the router. Look at it and make sure again that all the login details for the TP-Link TL-WR841N web interface are entered correctly.

If everything is done correctly, you will be taken to the administration panel. Here we immediately go to the Internet settings.

Internet setup (WAN)

Select "Network" from the menu on the left (in the English-language interface - Network), and then the WAN section. In the drop-down list "Type WAN connections"(WAN Connection Type) select required type connection to the provider.

There are the following options:

• Dynamic IP address;
• Static IP address;
• PPPoE;
• L2TP;
• PPTP.

It makes no sense for you to delve into the essence of all these types of connection. Information about which one to choose is provided by the provider. Also, the Internet service provider transmits authorization data to the client - username and password. If you suddenly forgot these data, then they can be spied on in the contract. The second option is to call the provider's support service.

So, we set up a WAN connection according to the following schemes:

• When choosing dynamic IP no additional actions it is not required to produce;
• Option Static IP address provides for the entry of the IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS. We remind you that all this data is provided by the service provider, i.e. your provider.
• Connection type PPPoE requires a username and password.
• When choosing a connection L2TP the username, password and IP-address / Name of the VPN server are specified.
• Connection type PPTP It will also ask you to enter a username, password and IP address / VPN server name.

After all the data has been entered, we press the “Save” button. The Internet should work.

After configuring the Wi-Fi router TP-Link TL-WR841N, there is no Internet access

In case you set everything up clearly according to the instructions, but as a result the Internet does not work, you need to do the following:

If none of the above steps help, the router might be malfunctioning. To make sure the device is working, try connecting it with friends or acquaintances.

Wi-Fi setup

Providing opportunity wireless connection to the Internet is one of essential functions router. Let's move on to the Wi-Fi settings for TP-Link TL-WR841N.

We go to the section Wireless Mode - Settings wireless mode (Wireless - Wireless Settings). We set the name of our Wi-Fi network and select the region.

Below are network settings that, in certain situations, can affect signal quality and coverage. We will not focus on them, since this is a topic for another big conversation. Leave all parameters at their default values ​​and save the settings.

Now we need to protect our wireless network from unauthorized third-party users. Select the item "Wireless Security" on the left.

Set the switch to "WPA / WPA2 - Personal (recommended)". Next, select the version, encryption type and set the password. We save the made changes.

Setting a new administrator password

A standard username and password for accessing administrative settings make your TP-Link router TL-WR841N is very vulnerable, so it is better to change them right away. We go along the way System Tools- Password (System Tools - Password). Here we enter the old and new data for authorization (you can only change the password, and leave the username admin), and then click “Save”.

The password can be written down somewhere so as not to forget.

Perhaps on this basic setup Wi-Fi router TP-Link TL-WR841N is completed. Of course, there are many more functions that can be useful to users. However, this will be a more subtle configuration, requiring a separate article. We achieved the main goal - set up the Internet and Wi-Fi.

For all settings to take effect, we restart the router. It can be done programmatically through the section ( System Tools - Reboot) or physically by turning off the power. After downloading, a Wi-Fi network should appear with given name, to connect to which you will need to enter a password. The Internet must work in both "wired" and wireless modes.

Determining the network settings of the Internet service provider

Before connecting a router, you need to know what network settings are needed to connect to the Internet.

The most common are the following types network settings:

• Dynamic IP — dynamic settings, issued automatically by DHCP
• Static IP — static settings, entered manually
• PPPoE- Internet access is provided by PPPoE protocol after entering username and password

It is assumed that you have Windows 7 installed, the provider's cable is connected to the computer, and Internet access is configured.

Go to "Change adapter settings".

Right click on "Local Area Connection" and select "Properties"

Click on "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP / IPv4)" and the "Properties" button.

• If you have selected the item "Use the following IP address" and there are numbers, then write down all settings Are the static settings of the provider ( Static IP). Then select "Obtain an IP address automatically" and click "OK".
• If you have selected the "Obtain an IP address automatically" item, then you will receive the network settings automatically - these are the dynamic settings of the provider via DHCP ( Dynamic IP).

There are providers that block Internet access via MAC address(can be found in the contract). In this case, you need to configure the router so that it has the same MAC address that is registered with the provider.

To find out the MAC address of the network card, click "Start", in the "Find programs and files" window, write the command cmd and press Enter.

We write the command in the console ipconfig / all and press Enter.

We are looking for "Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection ..."

In field " Physical adress»Shows your MAC address of the network card. We rewrite it.

If you have any difficulty - which one is used on your router, then try to log in using the hostname: tplinklogin.net... Or, alternatively, look at what IP is indicated on the sticker.

1. TP-Link Quick Setup Wizard

If this is the first time you entered the router parameters, then by default it should start Quick setup... If necessary, the wizard can also be called from the main menu by clicking on the corresponding link.

The most commonly used are the following:

Dynamic IP
- PPPoE
- L2TP

In the first case, you do not need to specify anything else.
If your provider uses the PPPoE protocol (Dom.ru, Rostelecom, TTK), then at the next stage you need to enter your login and password to connect to the Internet.

And in the case of L2TP, like Beeline, you will also need to enter the address of the VPN server:

tp.internet.beeline.ru

Next step - WiFi setup on a TP-Link router:

In the field "Name of the wireless network" prescribes the name the network being created... For example - "my-home-wifi", We see that in the "Region" field is "Russia", mixed mode and an automatically selected channel and channel width are used. In the "Wireless Security" section, check the "WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK" checkbox. In the "PSK Password" field, enter the Wi-Fi password, which the router will ask clients when connecting. Click on the "Next" button.

The quick setup of the TP-Link Wi-Fi router is now complete. You can connect the provider's cable and use.

2. Configuring TP-Link Router via Normal Web Interface

The first page that you will see when you enter the web interface is "Status", which displays status data from current state devices - Internet, local and wireless network connections.

In order to set up an Internet connection on TP-Link routers, select the menu section Net> WAN.

Dynamic IP address (DHCP)

This is the simplest option, which is used in some branches of Rostelecom and a number of smaller providers. To configure Dynamic IP, select the appropriate option in the "WAN Connection Type" drop-down list:

Some operators also need to change the values MTU size but this is rare. Nevertheless, if problems arise in the work - check this point in technical support. We press the "Save" button and check the Internet access.

PPPoE (Rostelecom, TTK)

PPPoE is the most common protocol used by Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian telecom operators. For example, Rostelecom, Dom.ru, Ukrtelecom and ByFly.

In the "Connection type" list, select the "PPPoE / Russia PPPoE" option. Below you need to enter the username and password for connections. They are usually indicated in the contract for the provision of services or are given separately on a piece of paper with connection details. Please note below that in the "WAN Connection Mode" section, the "Connect automatically" checkbox is selected. Click the "Save" button.

VPN over L2TP (Beeline)

In Russia, this option is used only by the Beeline provider (formerly Corbina-Telecom). To configure it on a TP-Link router, you need to select the WAN connection type - "L2TP / Russia L2TP":

Then enter the username (in Beeline this is usually a number personal account) and a password to connect. In the "IP-address / Server name" field, enter this address:

tp.internet.beeline.ru

Set the connection mode to "Connect automatically". Click on the "Save" button.

3. How to set up Wi-Fi on TP-Link (TL-WR740N, TL-WR841N, TL-WR941ND, etc.)

In order to configure Wi-Fi on a TP-Link router, you need to select the "Wireless" section in the web interface. The main parameters are found in the Wireless Settings subsection:

The "Network Name" string is the so-called SSID. Here you need to register the name of your home Wi-Fi. For example, this is "home-wifi".
The region is best set to "Russia" or "Europe". Leave the rest of the parameters at their default values. As a rule, they fit without problems in most cases.

Go to the subsection "Wireless Security":

Here we check the box for WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK (Recommended).
In the "Version" field, select the value "WPA2-PSK" with AES encryption.
In the "PSK Password" field, you must enter a set of numbers and letters that will be used as a password for Wi-Fi. It is advisable to make it no shorter than 8 characters and as complex as possible - your safety depends on it.
Click the "Save" button.

WiFi 5GHz

On the dual band routers TP-Link TL-WDR3500, WDR4300, as well as Archer C2 and C7, you can also configure Wi-Fi in the 5 GHz range. To do this, go to the Wireless 5 GHz section.
First, open the general settings:

Here we also prescribe the name of the network and the region - Russia.
Without touching anything else, click on the "Save" button.
Moving on to the security settings:

We set the "WPA2-PSK" standard with "AES" encryption.
We are saved.
Configuring your TP-Link router (Internet + WiFi) is now complete.

This manual is valid for the following models: TL-WR740N, TL-WR741ND, TL-WR743ND, TL-WR840N, TL-WR841ND, TL-WR842ND (RU), TL-WR843ND, TL-WR940N (450M), TL-WR941ND (450M ), TL-WR1043ND, Archer C2 and C7.

TP-Link is one of the famous manufacturers routers, and the products of this company are distinguished by quality, reliability and fairly affordable prices. But, having purchased one of these devices, users often cannot configure it on their own. Moreover, some of them don't even know how to log into the TP-LINK router and get to its main menu.

In fact, setting up a router is not such a difficult task, and having completed it once, you yourself will understand how easy it is. This article will help you figure it out and avoid making one of the common mistakes.

Training

Before you start connecting your TP-Link router, you need to do a little preparation. It consists in determining network parameters provider and write them down (or remember).

The first thing to figure out is the type of internet connection. If you use a login and password to connect, then the connection is carried out using the PPPoE protocol and you can immediately connect a TP-Link router, the configuration of which will be discussed below.

If the login and password are not used for connection, you must do the following:

1. Open the "Control Panel" and go to the "Network Management" tab.
2. Now pay attention to side panel(left). Here you need to select the line "Change adapter parameters".
3. Here is a list of connections (usually one). Right-click on the one that is active in this moment, and select Properties.

You just have to select "TCP / IPv4 Protocol" and click "Properties".

Determine the type of connection

The window that opens will allow you to define the type of connection, of which (apart from PPPoE) there are two types:

• If you have selected and filled in the "Use IP address" line, then your connection type is called "Static IP". V in this case you need to overwrite all the settings and then select the Get IP Address option and click OK.
• If the "Get IP-address" line is active immediately, it means that you have a connection of the "Dynamic IP" type. This means that you do not need to rewrite anything, and you can start connecting your TP-Link router.

Anyway, you can now close everything unnecessary windows and prepare for further action.

Router connection

Now it's time to get your device out of the box and plug it into your computer. For this:

1. Connect the power supply to the device.
2. Connect an internet cable to the blue port.
3. Connect the device to your computer with a network cable. For this any will do from the yellow ports.

1. Launch your browser. Best of all, if it is Internet Explorer or Edge (for Windows 10).
2. Enter the address of your TP-Link router. Usually this is a combination of numbers "192.168.1.1", but sometimes there are other options (they are written on the bottom panel of the device).
3. A window will appear in which you should enter the login and password of the TP-Link router. By default, in both of these lines you need to enter the word admin.
4. In the menu (on the left) select the line Quick Setup.

After completing the above steps, you will find yourself in the main settings menu. Here you need to specify the type of connection that you defined before logging into the TP-Link router.

Setting for PPPoE

If your connection is via PPPoE protocol, you need to select it in the main menu, click "Next" and enter the settings:

• User Name - login at the provider.
• Password - password for connecting to the Internet.
• Confirm Password - password again.

Now click Next and enter:

• In the SSID field - the name of the access point (of your choice).
• PSK Password - come up with and enter a password.
• Wireless Security - Specify WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK.

After that, you just have to click Next and reboot the router (Reboot).

Configuring for Static IP

Select the Static IP line in the main menu if your connection is via this protocol... Here is a window with several lines that you need to fill in manually. These are the same parameters that you rewrote from the network Windows settings before logging into your TP-Link router.

After completing all the lines, double-check them carefully, and then click Next. In the next window, you need to enter the access point name (of your choice), password (come up with yourself), click Next and restart the router.

Setting for dynamic IP

If you have a dynamic IP and are using a TP-Link router, the setup will be quite simple. In the menu, you need to select Dynamic IP, click Next and enter the name of the access point, as well as the password to it.

After that, you just have to click Next, and then Finish. In this case, a reboot is not required.

Tuning using a dedicated disk

To facilitate the process of configuring your TP-Link router, you can use special disc... It does not come with all device models, but if you have one, you can simply insert it into the CD-Rom and follow the on-screen prompts to complete the setup procedure in a few clicks.

Possible problems

Sometimes it happens that the provider blocks the connection by MAC address. In this case, you need to do the following:

1. Go to the router settings.
2. Go to the Network section, and then select the MAC Clone sub-item.
3. Here you need to click Clone MAC Address and then Save.

By the way, it is best to contact the support service of your provider and clarify this issue with them before logging into the TP-Link router.

Password reset

If you do not remember the password for entering the device settings, you can reset it. To do this, press the Reset button, which you will find on the back panel, and hold it for a few seconds. This will cause all parameters to be reset to factory defaults and you can enter the settings using standard password(admin).

In some cases, the password initially differs from the standard one. If so, you can find it on the bottom of your router. The login is usually written there, as well as other data necessary to enter the device settings.

Good afternoon, dear readers. V last years the population of our country has widely surrounded itself latest laptops, portable tablets and mobile phones having built-in wifi module which does possible connection to wireless networks anywhere.

Wi-fi solves the long-standing issue of "how to do without wires", and allows you to distribute the Internet throughout the house or apartment. Today we will figure out how to set up a tp link router, while gaining access to Wi-Fi in your home. And at the same time we will consider other related problems.

The questions that we will touch upon in this article:
How to connect a router to a PC;
How to set up an Internet connection;
Setting up a Wi-fi network, setting a password;
And much more.
Before we start instructing, I would like to remind you that Wi-Fi is absolutely harmless to health. I am writing about this because I have often heard the opposite from my interlocutors. Yes, and more. Router TP-Link TL-WR841N - perfect solution to connect home internet in terms of price / quality ratio.

TP-Link TL-WR841N Connection

In total, the rear panel of TP-Link TL-WR841N has 6 buttons and connectors:
1. On / Off;
2. Input for the power cable;
3. WAN-input for connecting to the Internet;
4. LAN inputs for connecting the router and PC;
5. QSS button;
6. Reset button.

The first step is to connect the router to your computer or laptop. To connect the router, you need to plug the Internet cable from the provider with the RJ-45 connector into the blue WAN input, and plug the twisted pair cable from the computer into one of the yellow LAN connectors.

After that, you need to connect the power cable and make sure that the router is turned on.

Entering TP-Link TL-WR841N settings

After that, you need to log into the control panel of the router. Open any browser (Opera, Mozilla, Google Chrome or Internet Explorer). V top line introduce next address: "192.168.1.1" or "192.168.0.1".

A window will pop up for identification. It is required to fill in the fields "Username" - admin, "password" - admin. Having completed all this, we will go to the main window, in which it will be possible to change tp-link settings tl-wr841n.

Name user admin and admin password are the default settings. If you are told that "the login or password is incorrect", then most likely the router has already been configured earlier and you need to reset the settings to the factory settings by pressing the Reset button.

Setting a password

First, necessary procedure- changing the standard login and password to a unique one. Nobody forces you to do it, however, by performing a number of simple procedures, you will be completely sure that your router is reliably protected. There will be no incomprehensible traffic costs due to the fact that neighbors steal it.

Do not forget that after changing your username and password and connecting with personal data, you should write them down in a special notebook. Otherwise, it will subsequently be possible to lose the opportunity to access the Internet and then you will have to re-establish the connection.

Go to the menu "System Tools" - "Password".

Here you need to specify the initial username and password (in our case, admin admin), and then set new parameters. Changes must be remembered and always saved.

Setting up the Internet

To start using the TP-Link TL-WR841N router for its intended purpose - organizing a Wi-Fi network, you need to connect it to the Internet. To accomplish this task, we make a number of settings.

Network parameters required to establish an Internet connection:
IP address;
Netmask;
Main gateway;
Primary DNS address;
Secondary DNS address.

All this information is contained in the contract concluded with the provider. Employees of the Internet company are also always ready to provide this information, and sometimes set the settings below for you.

1st option - Dynamic IP-address. This is the most easy way configure the TP-Link TL-WR841N router for networking. With this method, all network data is communicated to the device in automatic mode.
Go to the "Network" - "WAN" menu. In the window that appears, click on "Dynamic IP - address". Next, "Define". Then we save the result.

Sometimes it happens that Internet providers do not provide such a service as automatic setting DNS server addresses.
In this case, they must be entered in required sections by checking the "Use these DNS servers" box.
2nd option - Static IP-address. This method of setup and installation is a little more complicated. In this situation, all the variables that connect to the Internet are independently registered.

In the "Network" menu - "WAN". We determine the connection option "Static IP" and enter all the corresponding values ​​from the contract with the Internet provider.
3rd option - "PPPoE" - the entrance is carried out by entering the username and password. In addition to this, some providers use static IP in addition to this method. In this case, you need to enter the data "IP" and "Subnet mask".

The 4th option - "PPTP" - is identical to the third one and is filled in by analogy.

Clone the MAC address

There are providers on the Internet communications market that supply their services with binding exclusively to the MAC address of the subscriber's computer network card. This must be taken into account before setting up a Wi-Fi router.

If the MAC is not fixed in the router, you will not be able to use the Internet. Receive Additional information about the need to bind the Wi-Fi router to the MAC, you can contact the provider at the time of signing the contract. Or by calling hotline to the operator's office.

Go to the menu "Network" - "Clone the MAC address" and click on the icon "Clone the MAC address of the computer".

As a result of the actions performed, the MAC router will be identical to the computer one and, as a result, the Internet connection will function. It is required to draw Special attention on the fact that in the case of setting up a Wi-Fi router from another PC, then the MAC must be filled in independently in the specially designated field.

Setting up a wi-fi network

In our instructions, this is the most important place, which must be studied very carefully and accepted for execution. An overwhelming group of users purchases and personalizes a router solely to simulate a wireless network with the ability to access the Internet.

The process of entering the settings will not take too much a large number of minutes.

In the menu "Wireless" - "Wireless settings". You are required to enter data with the parameters "Network Name" and "Region". It is required to remember the need to save all the actions performed.

If necessary, there is always the opportunity to produce additional settings parameters of the wireless network wi-fi.
Mode - allows you to make a choice according to which the broadcasting standard occurs (the best recommended parameters are "11bgn mixed");
Channel - allows you to select a channel wifi connection(recommended parameters "Auto");
Channel width - using this tool, you can adjust the width through which the data in the channel is transmitted (the recommended parameters are "Auto");
MAX bit rate - makes it possible to configure the limits of the maximum possible bit rate for data transmission (it is recommended to choose the highest permissible value);
WDS - setting the expandable area that can be covered wireless wifi network designed earlier.
The password on the TP-Link TL-WR841N router is not mandatory requirement applied to wi-fi. However, it is highly recommended to install it. If this is not done, then the traffic costs will be very high, because everyone can connect to your wi-fi. And, accordingly, the speed of the Internet connection will drop.

We get to the menu "Wireless mode" - "Wireless security", mark the "WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK" field with a checkbox (this method is the most secure for encrypting information).

"Encryption" - we define the item "Automatic".

"PSK password" - a personal code is filled in, which protects accessibility Wi-Fi networks... This is the password you need to connect to your wi-fi network.

After all the actions performed, it will be necessary to save the changed settings. Then you can use the Internet.

That's all. As always, I suggest you watch a training video on the material of the article.

If you still have questions, be sure to write them in the comments.
