ADSL router TP-Link TD-W8151N is designed to create a home or office wireless network.
You can also use this model for wired connection one computer. This article describes how to configure this device.
Before starting setup, the router must be connected to the network. This router is designed for connecting thin telephone cables - ADSL. If the Internet from the Rostelecom provider comes to you via an Ethernet cable (eight- or four-wire twisted pair), you need to purchase another device.
In the yellow LAN port, plug in the connector of the patch cord coming from your personal computer. You can also connect to the router via Wi-Fi. To configure router settings, you can use any device with a browser installed.
The router usually comes with a special DVD with a utility for quickly setting up the network. Connect your computer to the device and insert the disc into the DVD drive. In the launched program, you can select the interface language, as well as the model of your router - TP-Link TD-W8151N.
Then simply follow the instructions of the application. It is recommended to prepare in advance your copy of the service agreement with Rostelecom, since it contains the data necessary for setup (password and login for a PPPoE connection, or addresses for Static IP). It will help you find out your Internet login and password.
To access the TD-W8151N settings, users must log into a special interface through their web browser:
After the above steps you will be redirected to home page interface for setting up the TD-W8151N modem.
First of all, you will need to set up a connection with Rostelecom to gain access to the Internet:
If you did everything correctly, the router will connect to Rostelecom servers, and you will have Internet access. If the router still does not work, you can consult technical support.
After the basic settings, you can set the wireless network parameters for more convenient use:
For security reasons, it is recommended to change the password to access the router configuration menu. To do this, go to the “Maintenance” section in the “Administration” tab. Here you need to enter the new password twice. Do not duplicate the key from Wi-Fi networks, it may be unsafe.
After changing all settings, the device must be rebooted. To do this, open the “SysRestart” tab. Check the box next to “Current settings” and click the “Restart” button.
Rostelecom on Russian market services in the field of communications is one of the leading providers. It is not surprising that many users prefer its services. On top of that, the company, along with the tariff package, also provides the basic equipment necessary to connect to the Internet. But many people try to set access parameters on their own, which sometimes causes some difficulties. Meanwhile, if you figure it out, there shouldn’t be any special difficulties. Next, we propose to consider setting up a Rostelecom modem of any type. This instruction will be useful not only for the equipment supplied directly by the company, but also for any other similar models.
Before setting up the Rostelecom modem is considered directly, it is necessary to dwell on the equipment that will be used to organize an Internet connection at home or in the office.
What can you use at the moment? Among the most popular options, there are several main groups of devices:
The first group is the most popular and is suitable for installation at home or in offices. The approximate cost of the simplest model is about 800 rubles, but models of a higher rank will cost about 1,500 rubles.
USB routers have not gained much popularity, although they are quite cheap. Their the main problem The problem is that very often there are situations with “gathering” of drivers. 3G devices are mainly used when moving around the city with a laptop.
Which of all this should you choose to install at home? I think the best option It will still be possible to use modems that combine the capabilities of a router (for access via Wi-Fi) of the DSL or ADSL type.
Among the most commonly used devices are models D-Link, TP-Link, Intercross, Zyxel, etc. The settings of some of them will be discussed below.
As follows from the basic understanding of ADSL technology itself, a modem uses a regular telephone line to provide access to the Internet.
When connecting a modem to it, the best option is to install a special one, which allows you to simultaneously access the Internet and make phone calls. In other words, the telephone line is not blocked, unlike a direct connection.
Connecting all devices follows the sequential diagram: computer - modem - splitter - telephone line. Actually, even a child can figure this out, especially since the splitter has two sockets for different cables, so it’s simply impossible to confuse something.
After the entire circuit is assembled and the power supply is connected, you need to install special control software called drivers (so that the operating system installed on the computer can initialize the device, and it, in turn, works without failures).
Standard models, as a rule, are recognized automatically by the system, and installing drivers does not raise any questions. If something goes wrong, you can always use the special disk that should come with the modem. If you did not purchase the modem from the provider or if there is no disk, you can download the necessary drivers directly on the official website.
When the entire procedure is completed and the device becomes fully operational, the Rostelecom modem should be directly configured. The first step is to access the web interface of the device itself.
As a rule, for all devices, the combination 192.168.1.1 is entered in the address bar of any web browser installed on the computer. Setting up a Rostelecom modem in the first stages involves setting the correct parameters for accessing the Internet. If Wi-Fi is supported, you will then need to install these options.
The login and password that will be requested when attempting to access is admin. If for some reason the modem does not accept the entered data, you must reset all parameters by pressing the Reset button on the back of the modem and re-enter the information.
To configure any modem in the simplest case, if manual intervention is not required, you can use the disk supplied with the device, which contains a specialized utility in the form of a kind of “Hardware Configuration Wizard”. After it starts, you just need to follow the instructions of the installer.
But let’s assume that the user does not have the disk at his disposal (it got lost, became unusable). What to do in this case? There is no need to despair, since setting up any type of equipment is quite simple.
So, for Rostelecom, setting up a D-Link modem (just taking it as an example) begins with setting the connection type. It is advisable to set the value of this parameter to PPPoE and not use a “bridge” scheme, which can block access to the Network when the main terminal is turned off.
Next, you should manually enter the VPI and VCI parameters, which must correspond to the selected region of the user’s location (for Moscow these are values 0 and 35). These parameters must be included in the contract, but you can find them out from the technical support service, even just by calling (although they are almost always set automatically).
Next, you need to enter the registered user name (PPP), specify the login, enter and confirm the password, select the name of the service, check the Keep Alive checkbox and specify the values of the LCP interval and LCP failure options (15 and 2, respectively).
Finally, at the very bottom you need to check the IGMP box and save the changes made. After exiting the modem interface, you can use the Internet even without rebooting operating system, but with the obligatory reboot of the modem (just click on the corresponding button).
With devices of this series the situation is much simpler. The fact is that the devices themselves already have, so to speak, a built-in utility called Quick Start.
In fact, setting up the Rostelecom TP-Link modem comes down to just selecting the connection mode (PPPoE), setting the time zone and entering a login and password. Basically, why not the same “Setup Wizard”?
The settings of the Intercross (Rostelecom) modem are somewhat different from what was described above.
When entering the web interface, you first need to select to launch the “Wizard”, leave the value of the VCI parameter, set by default at 35, unchanged, and enter the value 8 for the VPI parameter.
Next, the connection type is set to PPPoE, and the points for automatically obtaining an address (Obtain an IP address automatically) and NAT availability (Enable NAT) are also noted. The address field is left blank. After this, the username and password are entered.
In the following steps, you don’t have to change anything, and after viewing the information, in the final step you just need to save the settings.
Finally, let's see what it means to set up a Rostelecom WiFi modem. In fact, such a modem can be used as a regular router for distributing a wireless signal.
There is nothing particularly complicated here either. Setting up a Rostelecom modem in in this case involves entering the following values and parameters:
After completing all the settings, you need to go to the Maintenance tab and use the browse button to select the romfile.cfg file with automatic add-in parameters. At this point, the setup can be considered complete.
As a summary, it remains to be said that setting up a Rostelecom modem of any known type is not particularly difficult. The main thing is to choose correct parameters, which were presented in the material above.
As for the choice of equipment, ADSL devices, when using a connection from the Rostelecom provider, are the best option compared to the same Ethernet or USB devices, which are quite limited in their capabilities.
The settings of 3G modems were not considered, since, after all, users at home or in the office give the main preference to modems that combine the functions of routers with wireless communications. Well, in terms of settings, if I would recommend something very simple, it would be best to use the “Wizard” disk so as not to have to deal with unnecessary things. But if this is not possible, you can safely use the instructions given above.
Instructions for setting up megaline for the TP-LINK TD-W8951ND modem as a router / router. Before starting the installation, reset your settings just in case. There is a “Reset” button on the back panel; press and hold it for 5-7 seconds. When resetting, all indicators should light up for a moment and then go off. Let's start setting up, if you have the installation disk in your hands, put it away, we won't need it. The setup will be done via the WEB interface; this setup does not require installing drivers or anything else. software on computer. All you need is a browser, any browser will do for us ( Internet Explorer, Opera or Mozilla Firefox). In order for your Web browser to load the Web pages used to configure your router, it must be connected to your computer using a network cable. As for the network connection settings, the default settings are sufficient. If you have changed network settings before, check that they are set automatically. In the properties of the TCP/IP protocol, set the IP address and DNS server addresses to receive automatically.
Let's start setting up the modem. In the address bar of the browser, enter the modem address: 192.168.1.1, after which a window for entering Login and Password will appear to access the device settings. By default, the word admin is used as the login and password (all letters are in lowercase).
We will not use a setup wizard, but will configure the modem correctly. Having entered the Web interface, first of all, go to the “Interface Setup” tab and check the list of ATM interfaces “ATM VCs List” by clicking the “PVCs Summary” button. If your modem has factory settings, then there are 7 rules in the list of ATM interfaces (PVC0, PVC1, PVC2, PVC3, PVC4, PVC5, PVC6).
Our task is to delete rules that we don’t need; to do this, we select ATM interfaces one by one, starting with PVC6 and delete them using the “Delete” button, as shown in the figure. We leave PVC0 for setting up the connection to megaline.
Let's start setting up the Internet; to do this, select PVC0 in ATM Virtual Circuit and configure everything in it as in the figure. VPI = 0; VCI = 40; Encapsulation type PPPoA/PPPoE; Enter the login and password issued by the provider. We leave all other parameters at default. We save our settings and in a couple of minutes you are online!
If you have forgotten your password, or cannot connect with the credentials that you have (Login / Password), you can use the “megaline” guest login. Enter the word “megaline” in the Username field, and also “megaline” in the Password field (all Latin letters are lowercase, and the VPI / VCI values can be any). As a guest user, you will not be able to access the Internet, but you will be able to access Personal Area and change your internet password.
After the above steps, the window for editing ATM interfaces “ATM VCs List” should contain only one rule and look like in the figure.
Be sure to change the default password "admin" to access the Web interface. Go to the Administration page in the Maintenance tab and set your password.
By default, access to the Web interface is possible both from the local network and from an external network (from the Internet). You can block access to settings from outside on the Access Control Setup page by creating an appropriate rule. IN in this example A rule is activated that allows access to Web applications only from the local LAN.
After turning on the device, in the list of available wireless connections you can find a network similar to TP-Link_XXXXXX, with free access by default. To limit access for connecting via a wireless network, go to the Interface Setup > Wireless tab where we are interested in the following settings items: Access Point (Enable / disable access point). SSID (network identifier), for this model the default SSID is TP-LINK_E2C8D6, but you can set your own identifier. Broadcast SSID (network identifier broadcast), if this parameter is set to No, then you can connect to the network only if you know its SSID (hide the network name if you want to enhance security). Use QSS (Quick Secure Setup - Quick setup security). By activating QSS, you can connect to a secure wireless network with one click of a button on the router, or using the 8-digit PIN code of the transmitter. In this example, QSS is disabled. Authentication Type, select WPA2-PSK if you want to ensure the maximum level of security (some devices do not support this algorithm, if you have problems connecting any devices, try another encryption type such as WPA-PSK or WEP). Pre-Shared Key (Security key when connecting to the network). The key must be at least 8 characters long.
I noticed that in the comments to various articles on the site, they ask questions about Wi-Fi connection routers to regular ADSL modems. Many people have problems setting up such a connection. But, there is nothing difficult there. In this article we will look at the connection diagram and configuration of the ADSL modem + router combination. We will connect as usual network cable. Which you can buy, or take the one that comes with the router/modem.
Why connect two similar devices at all? If you have ADSL Internet, then it’s clear that you need a modem. There are many modems that do not have the ability to distribute Wi-Fi, but we need Wi-Fi, it’s difficult without it now :)
So, there are two options:
As you can see, everything is very simple. We need the modem itself (which should already be configured and distributing the Internet), network cable (which is included with the router), and the Wi-Fi router itself. Now we will connect and configure all this.
By the way, we already have a similar article on. You can view.
Before connection, Necessarily do it on a Wi-Fi router. Even if it is new, from the store.
Next, take the network cable. We connect one end to the modem in LAN connector (it is usually signed and highlighted yellow) . Your modem may have several LAN connectors. You can connect to any.
We connect the second end to the router in blue WAN connector. Look carefully.
Here is the entire connection diagram. If you reset the settings on the router and your modem distributes IP automatically, then the router should already distribute the Internet via Wi-Fi. And via cable, to the router, you can connect the devices that you had connected to the modem. Here are the instructions, just in case.
If it doesn't work automatically, then let's check the settings. We will only configure the router, we will not touch the modem. But your modem must be configured, and the Internet must work through it.
You need to check whether the router settings are set to automatically obtain an IP address. Provided that the modem distributes IP automatically.
Go to your router settings. If you don't know how, then...
Go to the tab WAN. Depending on the company and model, this tab may be called differently. Internet, network, etc.
And see what's in the field WAN Connection Type (WAN connection type) it was found Dynamic IP (Dynamic IP address). Set and save settings. This is the example of TP-Link.
Reboot your modem and router.
Everything should work. If it doesn’t work, then describe the problem in the comments to this article, and we’ll figure it out together.
Best wishes!
