Today, wireless Internet can be found everywhere, and home users do not stand aside. This article will discuss how to configure a Rostelecom router. If you perform this process step by step, you will not need to order a router configuration from specialists. It’s a little expensive, and it’s useless when everything can be done by ourselves.
Router Connection
How to set up a Rostelecom router? You need to start with the same steps that apply to a router configured for any other provider. First we connect the cables. The cable that provides the Internet connection is connected to the Internet connector or WAN. The cable from the router kit is connected to the LAN connector. The second end of this cable is connected to a computer or laptop - to the device from which we will configure the router.
It can be carried out automatically without user intervention. But in some cases, the intervention needs to be done through manual tuning. If the router was used before your setup, you need to reboot it, for which we find a small hole in the back, which is usually signed by Reset, insert the needle there and press.
Manual tuning
How to configure a Rostelecom router manually? To do this, you need to take a short period of time to enter parameters from the keyboard. The router is configured in the browser by entering the address of this router in the address bar. It is usually indicated on the rear panel of the equipment in question. Typically, it has an IP address of 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1. Confirm the entry by pressing Enter and enter the username and password in the window that appears.
This data for the first entry is indicated next to the IP address of the router. Then a lot of settings may appear. At this stage, we are only interested in the question of how to configure the Rostelecom Wi-Fi router.
To do this, go to the settings of the wireless Internet and enter the following data in the fields: SSID - name of the wireless network, hide SSID - no, wifi mode - auto, extended channel - auto, channel - 7, channel width - 20/40 MHz, WPA key - password for access to this network, encryption - WPA - AES, authentication - WPA-Personal. Save and close the browser. If it is necessary to reconfigure these values, we again enter the IP of the router in your favorite browser and change the necessary parameter.
Configure ADSL modem
A small part of Rostelecom subscribers still do not have fiber optic lines. They connect to the global network through an ADSL modem. It is carried out using a telephone line. In order not to break the Internet connection during a conversation or the phone was not busy while accessing the World Wide Web, splitters are used, which are splitters to which both the Internet cable, telephone cable, and router are connected.
Next, we’ll look at how to set up a Rostelecom Wi-Fi router. We type the IP address of the equipment in question in the address bar of your favorite browser. In the settings, we set the following parameters: confirm WAN activation, NAT, WAN connection - PPPoE, do not confirm UPnP activation - we automatically receive the IP address in Rostelecom. We also connect to DNS automatically, enter the login and key that were given by the provider. We save the settings, as a result, an Internet connection should appear.
Sagemcom Router
The Sagemcom F @ st 2804 v7 router recommends using Rostelecom itself. It can be used to configure Ethernet, as well as ADSL-connection. In addition, this router helps to create a home network, which can be wired and wireless, and also allows you to connect an IPTV set-top box. How to configure the Rostelecom Sagemcom router will be shown below.

When connecting, insert the cable into the LAN1 port. The following LAN jacks can be used to connect the cable used to connect to the computer. When you purchase this router in Rostelecom, a DVD-ROM is supplied with it. If the firmware on the router is old (up to v7), then you need to update it using this disk to the latest version, which was developed in Rostelecom. It provides the most stable connection with its servers.

In this case, we enter the properties of the local connection and copy this address from the line “Main Gateway”. After that, in the dialog box that appears, enter the data that identifies the user. The data is shown on the sticker. If it is not, you need to try the most common combination of username and password admin.
Next, the settings interface for this router will appear. On the left side is a list of menu items. Go to the "Advanced Settings". We open "WAN service". If there are any connections, delete them using the checkmarks and the “Delete” button. Go to the "Level Two Interface" and also clear it. Click "Add."

When configuring these routers, you can specify not an IP address, but tplinklogin.net. The default login options are on the sticker at the bottom.
User reviews
Many users cannot cope with the configuration of D-Link routers and give negative feedback on their work, although in fact, when properly configured, the operation of these routers is no worse than those recommended by Rostelecom. However, older models of any brand may malfunction and not connect to the Internet. TP-Link users complain about the fact that there are a lot of settings, and it’s rather difficult to figure out what is related to what. Those who were able to customize these models mostly mark their work as good.
Finally
In this article, we looked at how to configure a Rostelecom router. As a result, it was found out that if you listen to the provider’s recommendations and don’t want unnecessary problems with the settings, then it is better to purchase Sagemcom from Rostelecom itself.
