Attention!
When working through routers, the access speed may be lower than provided.
Check the speed of your device via an Internet connection with the seller or manufacturer!
Attention!
If you configure the router yourself, you alone are responsible for its proper functioning.
If the instructions given below cause you difficulties in understanding and following them, then it is strongly NOT recommended to configure such equipment yourself!
This article describes the process of setting up the ASUS RT-N12VP router.
Connecting a router
The computer from which the setup will be performed must be connected to any yellow port of the device (for example, the black connecting cable that comes with the device). Now turn on the power to the router and start setting up.
Setting up the router
1. Open the browser and write “http://192.168.1.1/” in the address bar (you can simply copy the address from here and paste it into the browser address bar, naturally without quotes; or you can just click on this link). Enter as username " admin"and the password too" admin" (without quotes).
2. Once in the router’s web configurator, select “Manual configuration”:
3. We come up with and specify a new password to access the router settings:
4. Select the device operating mode “Wireless router (default)” and click “Next”:
5. Select the type of WAN connection PPTP:
Attention!
For the 200+ tariff, this setting does not need to be made. Leave the default Automatic IP
6. Enter the username and password to connect to the Internet from the agreement:
7. Check "Use the following IP address: No" and "Connect to the DNS server automatically: Yes", enter the VPN server address ( plus.kerch.net)
If the additional service "Fixed IP" is activated, indicate the server address stat.kerch.net:
8. Click "Wireless network settings":
9. We come up with and indicate the name of your wireless network and the key (password) to it:
10. Make sure that all settings are made without errors:
11. Let's adjust the WAN settings. In the menu on the left, select “Internet” and check “Connect to a DNS server automatically: Yes":
12. Allow passage ping to your router from the outside.
13. Setting up IPTV:
14. Please be very careful when connecting the KerchNET network cable to the router - it must be plugged in strictly blue Asus RT-N12VP router port!
You must call the KerchNET network technical support service at 6-15-09 and tell the operator the MAC address of the device’s WAN port (on ASUS RT-N12VP it is usually indicated on a sticker on the bottom of the case and coincides with the LAN MAC address from paragraph 10 of this manual). During the conversation, you will need data from the contract, so you need to prepare it in advance. Be careful because it is very important to provide all this information correctly, otherwise the router will not connect to the Internet.
15. Wait for confirmation from the operator that the MAC address has been changed and reboot the device by disconnecting it from the power supply and turning it on again.
If everything was done correctly, then computers connected to the router will have access to the Internet within a minute. Please note that the router now connects to the Internet automatically, so there is no need to start an Internet connection on any of the computers!
This article will step by step introduce the configuration of the Asus RT-N12 router. Here you can see step by step and in pictures the process of connecting, setting up, and then operating the router.
This device works with desktop and tablet computers, smartphones, laptops, modern TVs via Wi-Fi, etc. Otherwise, you can use the device's cable connection instead of wireless.
The router is configured according to the following scheme:
![](https://i1.wp.com/pc-consultant.ru/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Shema-podklyucheniya-routera-e1519640987771.png)
In order to correctly configure the router, you will need information about the type, which is specified in the contract with the Internet service provider, and whether the binding is done to the physical address of the network device. Moreover, if the connection is of the type Point to point protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE)/Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP)/Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP), most likely you will also need information such as user login, system password, as well as the IP address. Of course, this information is available in the contract.
Note! In some cases, the default network name is set to something other than the factory name, or even a password is entered. Either this router has already been carried out once. One way or another, before each new setting it is recommended to do a full reset to the factory state - this can be done by holding the back button for more than ten seconds - after that all the indicators will go out for a while, a full reboot will be carried out, as well as a return to the parameters set according to default.
Settings via control panel
After connecting the router, and after establishing a signal between it and the computer, you need to:
- Enter the following address in the address bar of any browser: 192.168.1.1.
- After this, the “Control Panel” will open with a large selection of settings. In this case, a settings wizard is required. To do this, click on the “Go” button.
- After this, the system will ask you to come up with an individual password for the “Control Panel” of the router settings. You must provide a password in any case. First in the main field, then in the additional confirmation field, and after that you should move to the next window by clicking on “Next”.
- In the next window of wireless network settings, you need to enter the “Network name” line »
enter the name of the Wi-Fi network you are using, and in the “Network key” line »
register a new key that will be used when connecting to the network. You must click "Apply" »
and wait a little.
- The router will reboot. In the network connections field, in place of the old Wi-Fi network, a new one will appear, with an individually specified name. When connecting to it, a new password will also be used.
- Once connected, you need to return to the “Control Panel” again. There you should open a page with information about this connection. After clicking on “Next” »
, the system will display a new window.
- There will be an inscription in the new window « Sign in » and a request for a login with a password. This is the same login and password for the settings menu. They should be entered in the appropriate fields.
Configure manually
If everything goes smoothly, then everything is in order, and most likely there will be no additional problems during connection. This means that in this case the provider connects using “Automatic IP”, and thus the router sets all the parameters independently. In this case, at this stage you can already connect to the Internet and work.
However, there is another option. In some cases, providers use a connection type Layer 2 Tuneling Protocol (L2TP), Point to Point Tuneling Protocol (PPTP) , static ip , or Point to point protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) (used by providers such as Beeline or Dom.ru), in this case you will have to manually configure a number of parameters.
Step 1. If the provider uses the above connection technologies, then in the “Manage Settings” menu, when the connection is checked, the system will offer several types of Internet connection to choose from.
Step 2. In the next window, you will need to enter the username and password that are used when connecting. This information must be specified in the contract from the Internet service provider. You may also need to enter information such as IP address, service name, etc. Each situation varies depending on the Internet provider and the connection itself.
Step 3. During setup, immediately after the router connects to the Internet, you will be asked to configure Wi-Fi, etc. Everything should be configured immediately, according to the principle already indicated. You can change your Internet connection (WAN) settings yourself. To do this, go to the main settings page, find the “Internet” tab there » and select "Connection" » .
This page contains the basic and most important Internet connection parameters for the Asus rt N12 router. After the name of the wireless network and password have been remembered, when the Internet is working normally, you can close the settings menu.
How to set up Wi-Fi and change the password
In order to change the name of the Wi-Fi network at any time, or change the key used when connecting directly to Wi-Fi:
![](https://i1.wp.com/pc-consultant.ru/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Zahodim-na-osnovnuyu-stranitsu-nastroek-e1519645707174.png)
A number of network settings, including channel parameters, are located in the left panel on the main page, on the “Wireless Network” tab » .
Once the network name and also the key are changed, the access point will also change, so of course you will need to reconnect the first time. In some cases, it is not possible to connect - sometimes such problems occur after changing the password. In this case, it is recommended to delete the network connection, create it again, and then make the connection again.
How to protect your router settings
Earlier in the article it was already indicated that you need to create a password for the “Settings Panel”. However, in some cases, if the user did not do this in time, or some problems arise, or you need to change the password, you need to do the following:
![](https://i0.wp.com/pc-consultant.ru/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Otkry-vaem-razdel-Administrirovanie-.png)
Note! When entering the add-in menu, this particular password will be entered. It should be written down separately, otherwise you will have to roll back the router to factory settings.
Video - Setting up ASUS RT-N12 router
This article will discuss all aspects related to setting up routers from the well-known company ASUS when connecting to the Rostelecom provider. The points related to the parameters and connecting them to the Internet will be described. We will also shed light on all the advantages and disadvantages when choosing routers from this company. An example would be setting up the ASUS RT N12 router for Rostelecom.
Setting up the ASUS RT N12 router for Rostelecom
There are several connectors on the back of the device. Four of them are for connecting other computers and devices to your home network, and the fifth is for connecting your service provider's cord. Settings should be performed from a device that has a direct connection to the network card.
Important: When connecting, check the operating system network settings. In the selected section, you will need to set the IP address to be obtained automatically.
Next, we will directly install the router. There is a sticker on the back panel that shows the IP address, username and key to enter its settings. To launch the device installation window, you need to enter its address in the browser line. For the company in question, it is the same 192.168.1.1. Next, the router will select the parameters automatically; you just need to fill in a few simple fields. The user will be prompted to change the key to the router settings, then the device will automatically select the connection type, require a password for the Internet and offer to come up with a name and password for your Wi-Fi. This completes the automatic selection of parameters and the Internet should start working. If there is still no Internet, then the information below is especially for you.
Setting router parameters manually
To perform parameterization manually, select the “Connection” tab and enter the following data:
- WAN connection – PPPoE;
- activate WAN – yes;
- enable NAT – yes;
- activate UPnP – no;
- receive IP automatically – yes;
- automatically connect to DNS – yes;
- Enter the login name and key provided by the provider.
The rest of the data should be left as default. If everything is done correctly, then you will already be able to view Internet pages from your computer and other devices connected to the network. If necessary, you can also set up a wireless network.
Wi-Fi setup
In the router interface, find “Wireless Networks” – “General” and set:
- hide SSID – no;
- SSID – enter the name of your Wi-Fi network;
- Wi-Fi network mode – auto;
- channel width 20/40 MHz;
- channel – 7;
- extended channel – auto;
- WPA key – come up with a password for your Wi-Fi network;
- authentication method – WPA-Personal;
- encryption WPA - AES.
After that, save the parameters and exit the router interface. Checking the Internet connection. Next, we will consider a number of problems that usually arise when setting the parameters of this device.
Setting up the ASUS RT G32 router for Rostelecom is practically no different from installing the previous one, but there are a few points you should know. If you select WPA2-Personal. Also, when installing the router itself, you will be asked to select a port. If you have television from this company, select the same port.
Configuring ASUS DSL N10, RT N10P and RT N 10U routers for Rostelecom
Since the three above devices belong to the same family, their setup is no different from each other. We connect the wires in the same way as on the RT N12, after which we proceed to installation. We enter the same IP address in the browser line. And in general, the parameters of these models are not much different from the previous ones. We will be asked to set the time zone, select “GMT+02.00 South Africa, Greece, Ukraine, Romania, Russia, Turkey”.
When prompted to select a provider, select Others. In the settings window that opens, set the same configurations as described above. As you can see, setting up ASUS routers for Rostelecom is not particularly difficult, you just need to strictly follow the instructions.
Important: when setting up the ASUS RT N10P router for Rostelecom, you should take into account its not too high data transfer speed. Therefore, if the load on the router will be more than 1 device, we recommend purchasing another router.
Possible problems and troubleshooting
If the computer reports that it is unable to access the Internet, follow these steps. You need to set the wireless network settings on your computer to the same ones that you specified when parameterizing the router.
If there is Wi-Fi, but no access to the Internet, go to the settings and check if there is a connection to Rostelecom. If not, reboot your router. If the problem persists, contact your provider.
Advantages and disadvantages of ASUS routers
The undoubted advantages of the products manufactured by this company include high signal quality without failure, good connection speed, even when connecting three or more devices, and an ergonomic interface during setup. Also, almost all models have an excellent design that will fit well into the interior of any home.
The disadvantages include a short cable on most devices and a somewhat inflated price. However, not all models have a high price. For example, the ASUS RT N 10U router costs only 500 rubles and is also ideal for setting up the network of a provider such as Rostelecom.
Thus, the model of the company in question performs its main function – high-speed Internet connection – perfectly and their advantages significantly cover the disadvantages.
ASUS RT-N12 is a very popular device, which is classified as a budget option. It contains all the necessary characteristics for the successful operation of an ordinary home, public or work network. The device is a portable Wi-Fi access point, which has an information transfer speed of up to 150 megabits per second (possible Internet speed). The operating frequency of this device is 2.4 GHz. According to the standard, it has 4 network (regular cable) ports; these are standard characteristics for the ASUS RT router, which are needed for direct connection to a desktop computer.
Overview of all bulbs and connectors
The front part contains 7 indicators that will let you know the state of the device at this moment.
Number 1 We have identified the most important LED indicator. This is the power indicator. The indicator can have several configurations:
- The light is off. This means that there is no power, or the device is simply turned off.
- The light flashes with a large amplitude. This means that the router is just starting up.
- The light flashes with a small amplitude, quickly. This means automation is happening.
- The light stays on without blinking. This means that the system is loaded and can be used.
Number 2 We have identified an indicator that determines the current state of the ASUS RT N12 D1 Wi-Fi router. It has three configurations:
1. The light is not on. There is no power or wireless mode may be disabled.
2. The light flashes. This means that information is being transferred.
3. The light just stays on. The device is ready to transmit data, but no packets are being exchanged at the moment.
Number 3 We have designated an indicator that determines the router’s connection to the Internet. There are only two configurations:
1. Off – no internet. This may be due to non-payment, due to communication problems, or due to disconnection from the Internet in equipment installations.
2. Lights up – everything should work properly.
Numbers 4-7 indicators of the status of local ports are indicated. Each has three configurations:
1. Off – the cord is disconnected.
2. Light flashes – information is being exchanged.
3. The light just lights up - this is a sign that the port is occupied by the cable connecting the PC to the network.
The rear panel contains connectors and switches. There are no indicators on it.
1. WPS button (starting from the right side), which is used to quickly log into the network.
2. WAN port, it is designed to connect the Internet cable to the router.
3. Four network ports, which are needed to directly connect the PC to the router via cables.
4. Micro connector for power cord.
5. On/off key.
6. Reset key. It is inside the hole; press it for seven seconds to reset to factory settings. The factory settings are set to a standard password and login.
How to install a router
Installing a router is not difficult and will not take much time. Connection and setup takes longer. First, you should check the availability of all components so that the installation takes place correctly:
· The router itself.
· Power unit.
· Internet cable, which must be provided by the company or provider.
· For the first installation, you need to use a local (direct) Internet connection so that there is no interference.
Once you have found everything you need, you can proceed with a fairly simple installation. First you need to figure out how to connect the Internet to the router using an Internet cord. We designated the connector for this cable with the number 2. Then you need to connect using a LAN cable. All that remains is to connect the router to power by inserting one end of the power cord into a power supply with a voltage of 220 Watts, and the other end into connector number 4. Then press the power button. We act in exactly this order.
Installation, as you can see, is not difficult. After these steps, the router should start up. This completes the installation of the router; further debugging is done using a specific page built into the router.
Setting up ASUS RT-N12
To configure the router you need any browser. Enter “192.168.0.1” or “192.168.1.1” as the site address - without quotes.
Attention! The PC or laptop must be connected to the router, and not to the Internet cable.
After going to the page, a window with data entry fields will appear.
Here you need to enter a user name and password. When the router is just purchased, the default login and password are the same – “admin”. After complete debugging, it is recommended to change both the username and password to eliminate the possibility of hacking.
There are times when the router has already been used before, then the name and password sometimes differ from the standard ones. In order to fix the ASUS RT N12 device, the firmware is returned to its original state. To do this, you need to hold down the key, which was designated above as number 6. You need to hold it down with some thin object, the easiest way is a paper clip. Hold the key for 7 seconds. After this, all changed router settings will return to their initial state.
If these manipulations do not help, the router does not return to standard settings, then the configuration should be performed by a specialist whose range of work includes ASUS RT N12 firmware. You can handle this task yourself, but updating the router firmware is not a standard situation for the average user. Reflashing a router is much more difficult.
Connecting to the Internet with full setup
In order to connect the Internet to the router, on the website that opens, you need to go to the router settings. Then - “additional settings”. Select the “WAN” item we need (this is setting up an Internet connection).
In the main settings you need to set the following data:
· WAN connection type – select here PPPoE (the most popular) or for Beeline L2TP (you need to check with your provider).
· Enable WAN – our choice is “yes”.
· Enable NAT – our choice is “yes”.
· Enable UPnP – our choice is “yes”.
In the next window, called setting up a WAN IP address, opposite the line we need, “Obtain a WAN IP address automatically,” we must mark the answer as “yes.”
Setting up DNS WAN, similar to the items that went before, opposite “Connect to the DNS server automatically” you need to select the option “yes”.
In the username field, as you might have guessed, you need to enter your number or login, which is provided by your Internet provider to log into the Internet.
The password is identical.
Some fields are allowed to be skipped. In the VPN server, enter the one provided by your Internet provider. If you are setting up an ASUS RT N12 router for beeline, then this is “tp.internet.beeline.ru”; for Rostelecom you do not need to mark anything.
After this entire procedure, click on the “Apply” button. This completes the configuration of the Internet on the router.
Connecting to the Internet using quick setup
Quick setup of ASUS RT N12 can significantly reduce the time required to fully configure the router. On the main page of the router, press the “Go” or “Go” button.
The router then automatically detects your connection type. Although he himself will determine the necessary parameters, the login and password for the Internet will still need to be entered manually in the WiFi settings.
Setting up wireless mode
Setting up the ASUS RT N12 in wi-fi mode is quite simple thanks to the “quick setup”. The final stage of quick setup is debugging the wireless network parameters. Here you can set the SSID and network key or password.
They also perform the setup manually. Here we go to the “Wireless Network” window, we only need to set a few parameters. Among them:
· “SSID” is the name for detecting your ASUS RT N12 Wi-Fi router. Write in Latin letters (English).
· The “Authentication Method” field – here we definitely highlight WPA2-Personal, it will help protect your Internet from unwanted users.
· “WPA Pre-Shared Key” – the key or password for your Wi-Fi. Enter when connected to Wi-Fi. Enter the key no shorter than eight characters.
Now you can save the settings. Now the setup of the ASUS RT N12 WiFi router is completely completed. You can connect all the devices that are in the apartment and use Wi-Fi even on the washing machine.
Small addition
How to perform port forwarding? We'll tell you how to open ports on the ASUS RT N12 C1 router, the setup is quick here. Since this is just an add-on, the instructions will be very condensed. We proceed according to this scheme:
192.168.1.1 (address) -> Local network tab -> DHCP server window -> Enable manual assignment field - “Yes” -> MAC address (here you need to select the desired computer, which will be assigned a static address) -> Select and apply (after selecting the desired PC).
If this does not help, then check your antivirus and firewall.
