Reset ASUS router settings. How to enter the settings of an Asus router? Login to asus router

For a long time, ASUS stayed away from the network equipment market, releasing only low-end devices, simple white boxes with an unmemorable design and crude software. Just five years ago, Internet providers in Voronezh refused to connect a client if he bought an ASUS router. And suddenly everything changed, as if by a wave of a magic wand. Realizing the promise of the router market, in a short period of time the company was able to develop and launch into mass production several dozen router models - from budget solutions to high-performance premium segment models. Magnificent futuristic design, rich hardware, software based on the OpenSource OpenWRT project, but with proprietary features and an excellent web interface - all this has made ASUS a leader in the market of network equipment for home and office.

Model range of ASUS routers

ASUS produces a full range of routers, from the simplest and cheapest to expensive premium devices. Each category has its own popular models - leaders in sales and user favorites.

The budget segment is represented by models RT-N10, RT-N12. Despite their cheapness, their capabilities are enough to create a home network in the “laptop and three smartphones” format. It should be noted that almost all budget routers from ASUS have a tendency to overheat, so you should not use them 24/7 or in an office environment. These are devices for the needs of a small family or a bachelor. Large providers often install routers for their subscribers as a bonus or promotion. Of course, these are entry-level routers.

The cheapest does not mean the worst. There's just nothing superfluous

The middle-end segment is represented by models AC-51U, RT-N65. These models are 2-band, 2-antenna with USB support and adaptive wireless power control. The presence of USB will allow you to organize network storage on the basis of such a router, provide shared access to a printer, or keep your pets under supervision using an IP camera. Models with internal antennas will be more in demand in a small apartment, in a family with small children or pets, because compactness and the absence of protruding parts are no less important than the power of the Wi-Fi transmitter.

300Mbps over the air, two USB ports, excellent software. And all this for a reasonable price

Major league routers come very close to professional equipment in their range of capabilities, while maintaining an intuitive and flexible user interface in which most of the settings are performed automatically or using simple step-by-step instructions. Such routers are equipped with four or even six effective antennas for successful operation in two bands simultaneously, the number of LAN ports has been increased to eight or even ten, and there are also several USB ports, one of which is of the USB 3.0 standard.

ASUS RT-N66U, ASUS RT-AC68U, ASUS AC3200 are the most prominent representatives of the premium segment. Yes, the price for them is steep, but every ruble invested in them is worked out with 100% efficiency. In addition, a router that is “at the cutting edge of progress” will not become outdated as quickly as its cheap brother and will last longer.

A top-end router will not only work great, but also make guests envy

A separate group includes ADSL routers, combined devices that carry an ADSL modem and the hardware of a simple wireless router on board. The price for devices of this class is unreasonably inflated by the manufacturer, so it will be cheaper to buy an inexpensive router and operate it with a cable modem, which the provider provides for free.

A few months ago I had to advise friends on buying a router for a small apartment. The house is panel, even the partitions between rooms are reinforced concrete, so it is important that the WiFi module works efficiently. We had to choose from models between the lower and middle segments - the customers did not have much money. As a result, I found out that ASUS ships models in the lower and mid-price ranges with disgusting antennas. With a stated gain of 5 dB, it barely reached 2. As a result, the router installed in the bedroom could not reach the kitchen. We managed to get out of the situation by purchasing two antennas from the TP-LINK router on the secondary market and connecting them to ASUS.

Connecting an ASUS router

Any modern router has a managed switch on board, which allows you to connect clients using a UTP8 twisted pair cable, a wireless module that ensures the functioning of the Wi-Fi network and an interface for connecting an Internet channel. ASUS produces routers for three main types of Internet channel: cable, xDsl and 3G routers. Depending on the type of Internet channel, the connection diagram of the router changes.

Cable (classic) routers

In such devices, the Internet provider is connected with a cable of the same standard as wired clients: UTP-8 twisted pair cable. The provider's cable is connected to a connector signed by the Internet, computers are connected to network connectors LAN1-LAN4, wireless devices are connected using a Wi-Fi network.

The port for connecting the provider cable is color coded and labeled

An xDSL router is a combined device that contains an ADSL modem and a wireless router in one housing. The connection diagram for this is a little more complicated, since the provider uses a regular telephone line as an Internet channel. A special device - a splitter - is connected to the telephone socket, and the adsl port of the router is connected to it with a cable. Client computers are connected in the same way as in a classic cable router.

The ADSL router connection diagram is a little more complicated and includes a frequency splitter - splitter

3G routers

A 3G router can be either a specialized device or any universal router equipped with a USB port. The Internet channel is organized via a USB modem that connects to the router.

The 3G modem is connected to the router's USB port

To eliminate the possibility of errors, before setting up any Asus router, you need to connect it to a desktop computer or laptop using a patch cord. Do not perform the initial setup; you can do it via a wireless network; errors may occur.

Older models of ASUS routers support wireless configuration using a smartphone running Android. To do this, you need to install the Asus Router program from the PlayStore application store. Before starting the program, make sure that the router's wireless module is not disabled by a button or switch on the rear panel.

Access to the router interface: address, administration password

Before connecting the router to your computer, make sure that the network card is configured to automatically obtain a TCP/IP address.

1. Right-click the “Start” button and select “Network Connections” from the user menu.

   Calling network connections from the user menu

2. In the network connections window, select the desired adapter and use the right mouse button to open its properties.

   The network adapter properties contain TCP/IP protocol settings

3. From the list of protocols, select TCP/IP and double-click to bring up its settings.

   TCP/IP protocol is the main conductor of a wireless network

4. Configure to automatically obtain the network address and DNS server address and click OK.

   Automatic receipt of addresses is set

Opening the address 192.168.1.1 in any browser will take you to the ASUSWRT start page.

The web interface can be opened using any browser

Remember! For a router that has been reset to factory settings, the DHCP server is always running. If a network card configured to automatically receive an address does not receive it or receives an address like 254.168.x.x, the router is faulty. Return it to the seller if possible.

Before the first attempt to make changes to the settings, the router will ask for authorization parameters. By default it is admin/admin. If the router is not new, the password may have been changed. In this case, you need to reset the device to factory settings.

Asus router configuration in the ASUSWRT environment

The new version of the software - ASUSWRT is built on the basis of the most famous software project for open source routers - OPENWRT. Combined with the graphical interface from ASUS, the result is a powerful and intuitive tool for configuring and maintaining the router.

DHCP and MAC address binding

If you do not want to waste your router’s resources on encrypting your wireless network or the topology of your cable connections allows unauthorized connections to the router, then the optimal security algorithm would be to bind clients by MAC address and a digital identifier for each network adapter. It should be noted that for clients bound by MAC address, network addresses will need to be entered manually.

Static IP address

Connecting to a provider with a static address is a rare option these days. After all, the range of “white” TCP/IP v4 addresses was exhausted last year, and not every provider has equipment for connecting to the TCP/IP v6 standard; in addition, this option significantly increases the cost of the tariff plan. But if your contract is several years old and you have a static address, setting up a connection using an ASUS router is not difficult at all.

PPPoE connection

Connecting via the PPPoE protocol is the most common, allowing you to connect to the network using a login and password. The network address is assigned dynamically, from the provider’s address space, thus eliminating the need for a “white” TCP/IP v4 address. Almost all ASUS routers, even the most inexpensive ones, support speeds of up to 100 Mbit/s on this type of connection, which is sufficient for most tariff plans.

VPN connection (LTP or PPTP)

VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a mechanism that allows your provider to create a virtual tunnel between your home network and theirs. This connection provides a significantly better level of security and allows you to use various provider services in your local network, such as a file hosting service, a media server, and digital TV. The disadvantages of this connection are lower access speeds, since the protocol is resource-intensive and requires a lot of computing power. To fully use a secure VPN connection running using the PPTP or LTP protocol, you will need a mid- or high-end router with a fast processor and a large amount of RAM.

To connect VPN, please follow these steps:

Wi-Fi setup

Correct configuration of a wireless network is very important, since in dense urban areas or in an apartment building, a non-optimally configured router can distribute WIFI at low speed, with errors, or even lose the signal. For a high-rise building, the optimal wireless module would be one that operates in two frequency ranges - 2.4 and 5 GHz. All models in the premium segment and some in the mid-segment are equipped with such modules.

Having identified the least loaded channels in the range using a network scanner program, proceed to setting up Wi-Fi in the router.

To further protect your wireless network from attacks or unauthorized connections, in addition to encryption, you can use the function of filtering clients by mac address. To do this, you need to go to the “Wireless Network MAC Address Filter” tab, activate the filter mode and create a list of devices that will be allowed access to the router.

Filtering MAC addresses on a wireless network

How to set up IPTV

To configure IPTV, go to the “Local Network” section. There, go to the IPTV tab and set the values ​​in the sections as shown in the screenshot. Please note that in the “Selecting an IPTV STB port” section, the Lan port into which the TV set-top box is connected is indicated. Don't forget to enable multicast routing if your set-top box or TV needs to have access not only to video traffic, but also to local network resources and the Internet.

To provide an IPTV device with simultaneous access to both IPTV traffic and the Internet, for the functioning of online services, browser and mail, use the DUAL PPPoE connection type, if it is supported by your provider. If this is not possible, you can try connecting a wi-fi adapter with a USB interface to the set-top box and try setting up TV and Internet services separately.

Asus router firmware

A new version of your router software may improve its stability and performance and add new features. Premium routers update the firmware automatically as soon as an Internet connection is established. All that is required from the user is to read the message about the downloaded new version of the “software” and agree with its installation.

In entry-level routers and even in middle-segment models, you will have to update the software manually by first downloading the firmware file from the manufacturer’s website.

If during a firmware update the router froze, there was a power failure, you accidentally pulled out the patch cord and now the device shows no signs of life - don’t worry. Any ASUS router can be put into emergency firmware recovery mode and brought back to life using the Firmware Restoration utility. You can download it and detailed step-by-step instructions from the ASUS website in the technical support section for routers.

Setting up an Asus router on an old firmware version

On budget versions of ASUS routers, it is not possible to install a new version of ASUSWRT - the small amount of RAM and slow processors do not allow this. Therefore, the entire segment of entry-level routers is equipped with old-style software, which has not even changed cosmetically for more than five years. Nevertheless, all the basic settings of the router are implemented quite simply.

ASUS RT-G32 is a typical representative of the outgoing generation of ASUS routers. Providers installed thousands of such routers

Internet connection settings

All budget routers allow you to configure a connection using the PPPoE, VPN (PPTP or LTP) protocols, as well as with a static or dynamic IP address. When connected via a VPN protocol, budget routers will not be able to provide speeds higher than 15–30 Mbit/s, so they are only suitable for users with low tariff plans.

Static IP address

A connection with a static address is not common due to the fullness of the TCP/IP v4 address space. Setting it up itself does not present any difficulties.

1. Set the WAN Connection Type to Static IP.
2. In the WAN IP Setting section, enter the address allocated to you by your provider, subnet mask and gateway address.
3. If you want to automatically obtain DNS addresses, activate this option in the WAN DNS Setting section or manually enter the server addresses there.
4. Save your changes by clicking the Apply button in the lower right corner of the window.

Connecting to the provider's network using a static network address

PPPoE connection

The most common and easy-to-set up connection provides acceptable Internet speed even on the oldest routers.

1. Open the router's web interface.
2. In the left column, expand the list of Advanced Settings and open the WAN section.
3. Set the WAN Connection Type to PPPoE.
4. Enable automatic acquisition of a network address by the WAN port.
5. Enable automatic retrieval of DNS addresses.
6. In the Account Setting section, enter the username and password provided by your provider.
7. Set the values ​​of the MTU and MRU variables to 1400, this is the standard for most Internet providers.
8. Save the changes with the “Apply” button.

VPN connection (PPTP or LTP)

Setting up a VPN connection is no different from setting up any Internet connection using a password pair. The connection is configured in exactly the same way as in the ASUSWRT firmware, only the web interface design is slightly different.

An example of setting up a VPN connection on an ASUS router with old firmware

Several years ago, I worked as a service engineer for an Internet provider that provided access to clients using the VPN protocol. Younger models of ASUS routers coped well with this connection: they worked stably and without loss of speed. But as soon as the provider increased the speeds in the existing tariff plans, there was a wave of complaints from customers that the speed had not increased. The routers had to be replaced with more efficient models.

Wi-fi setup

The first time you turn on the router, the wireless network is ready to work. But since network encryption is disabled by default, anyone can connect to it. Therefore, the first thing you need to do after setting up an Internet connection in the router is to rename the wireless network, enable encryption and enter a password to access it.

1. Open the router's web interface.
2. In the left column, expand the list of advanced settings (Advanced Settings) and open the Wireless section.
3. In the SSID field, enter the name of your wireless network, in the Authentication Method field - the encryption type (WPA2-personal is optimal).
4. In the WPA Pre-Shared Key field, enter the password to access the wireless network. It must be at least eight characters and contain a combination of lowercase and uppercase letters with numbers.
5. Save the changes and you can connect your wireless devices to the router.

Configuring WIFI parameters in the old firmware interface

How to set up IPTV

Entry-level routers do not support dual authorization, so an IPTV set-top box or digital TV can only be configured to receive television broadcasts, and access to Internet services will not be available. The only exceptions are devices that can connect a compatible wireless adapter to the USB port. In this case, the TV will receive IPTV traffic through the Ethernet port, and using a wireless adapter it will connect to the Wi-Fi network and work with Internet services.

The MAG-250 digital TV set-top box, in addition to the Ethernet network port, is equipped with two USB connectors and supports a wide range of wifi adapters

Connect one of the router’s LAN ports to the network card of your set-top box or TV, and then in the router’s web interface settings, select this port as a digital TV port.

1. Open the router's web interface.
2. In the left column, expand the list of Advanced Settings and open the WAN section.
3. In field Choose IPTV STB Port From the drop-down list, select the port number to which the TV set-top box is connected.
4. Save the changes with the Apply button.
5. Reboot your router.

Select the port number to which the set-top box will be connected

My repeated attempts to set up digital TV on entry-level ASUS routers ended in fiasco. Or the TV is working, but the Internet is barely breathing, or there is a download on the computer and a slide show instead of a video on the TV. The router's power is not enough even to play HD channels. To be fair, I note that most entry-level routers suffer from this. Only TP-LINK stands apart - even on the youngest WR-740N router, digital TV works flawlessly.

Installing Router Firmware Updates

1. From the ASUS website, download the latest software for your router. Unpack the software archive.
2. In the left column, expand the list of advanced settings (Advanced Settings) and open the Administration section.
3. Go to the Firmware Upgrade tab.

Firmware updates on old firmware are performed only manually

Not all lower-end router models have a disaster recovery feature after a failure when updating the firmware. During the update process, do not disconnect the router from the network and do not perform any manipulations with the computer with which the update process was initiated. If the firmware is not completed successfully, only the service center can help you.

DHCP server

The DHCP server is responsible for connecting network clients to the router and distributing IP addresses to them. Enabling this mechanism eliminates the need to manually enter addresses for each network adapter and ensure that they do not conflict.

1. Open the router's web interface.
2. In the left column, expand the list of advanced settings (Advanced Settings) and open the LAN section.
3. Go to the DHCP Server tab.
4. Specify the start and end of the address range that will be assigned to clients, as well as the time interval at which this data will be updated.
5. Apply the changes you made and restart the router.

DHCP settings will allow network clients not to conflict with each other and automatically obtain addresses

On our website we already have detailed instructions on how to enter settings on routers from different manufacturers, and we even have . Today we will look at how to access the settings on Asus routers. The process itself is practically no different from other manufacturers, but since devices from Asus are very popular, this article will definitely not be superfluous.

We will do everything according to the standard scheme: first we will connect to the router via a network cable or wi-fi network, then we will go to the control panel through a browser. You can go into the settings and change them from almost any device. From a computer, laptop, tablet, phone, etc. But, if possible, I recommend using a laptop or desktop computer and accessing the settings via a network cable. Via Wi-Fi is also possible, just don’t flash your router over a wireless network, otherwise you might get bricked :)

Getting access to the settings of the Asus router

If you are already connected to your router, then scroll down the page a little. You can skip the connection process. If not, then you need to establish a connection via cable or Wi-Fi. Let's first look at how to connect to an Asus router using a network cable.

Everything is very simple. We take the cable that comes with the router and connect it to the router’s LAN connector (look carefully, do not connect to the WAN, they are signed). And on a computer or laptop, connect the cable to the network connector. Like that:

Power on the router (if you haven't turned it on yet) and we can continue. If there is also a WAN cable connected to the router, then you don’t have to disconnect it, it won’t interfere with us.

Wi-Fi connection

If you have already set up your router, then connect to your wireless network. I think you know how to do this (if not,). If you have a new router, then immediately after connecting power to it, it will begin broadcasting a wireless network with a standard name. Most likely, it will be called "Asus" and will not have a password. Just connect to it from the device from which you will access the control panel.

How to enter settings if you forgot your Wi-Fi password?

If you have forgotten your wireless network password and you do not have any connected devices from which you can go to the control panel and see the password, then you can go to the settings via cable. And if this is not possible, then you can reset your Asus router (press the RESET button for 10 seconds) and configure it again (wi-fi network will be without a password).

Go to the address 192.168.1.1

After we have connected to the router, open the browser and type the address in the address bar 192.168.1.1 . Follow it. If the router has not yet been configured, then most likely the settings page will immediately open, there will be an Asus quick setup wizard. If you are prompted for a login and password, then the standard ones are admin And admin. If you haven't changed them yet. And if you changed the password to enter the control panel and forgot it, you will have to reset the settings.

The standard data for accessing the settings is indicated at the bottom of the router itself.

What to do if you can’t enter the settings of your Asus router?

It all depends on what kind of problem (error) and at what stage you have it. For many people, problems appear at the stage of connecting to the router. Or, after connecting, the “Page Unavailable” settings simply do not open in the browser; it is impossible to go to the address 192.168.1.1. These are the most popular problems.

Try the following:

• Check out this article on this issue:
• Necessarily .
• If the IP settings are set to automatic receiving, but the problem remains, then check whether you have correctly connected the cable to the computer and router. Or whether you are connected to the router's Wi-Fi network. Check if the router is powered on (the power indicator should be on).
• Try logging into the control panel from another device.
• If you can’t enter the settings of your Asus router when connecting via cable, then try connecting via Wi-Fi. And vice versa.
• Reset your router settings and try opening the address 192.168.1.1 again.

If something doesn’t work out, you can write about it in detail in the comments, and we’ll sort out your problem together.

In this article, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the instructions for setting up an Asus router by logging into the admin panel of the router using the instructions provided for this.

How to enter the settings of the Asus router (login to the admin panel)

In this article, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the instructions for setting up an Asus router by logging into the admin panel of the router using the data provided for this.

Routers from the manufacturer Asus are among the most popular and widespread in our country, especially the models: RT-AC51U, RT-AC68U, RT-N12, RT-N16, RT-N11P, RT-AC3200, RT-N14U, RT-N66U, RT -AC87U, RT-AC66U, RT-N56U, RT-N56U. The process of setting them up is not much different from setting up equipment produced under other brands, but there are still differences. Therefore, we decided to create separate instructions for Asus routers.

We configure Asus equipment as standard:

1. We connect to the router using a network cable or via a Wi-Fi network.
2. Using any browser, go to the control panel.

Please note that you can enter the settings and change them not only from a desktop PC, but also from any mobile device: tablet, smartphone. However, it is more convenient to do this using a desktop PC or laptop. In this case, it is better that the device is connected via a cable, but if you use a wireless connection, then keep in mind that you should not update the router firmware using Wi-Fi, because There is a high probability of receiving non-working equipment instead of a working device.

Entering the Asus router settings - 2 connection methods

• If you already have a router connected to your computer, you can scroll down this instruction page, since we will start with the connection process.
• If you do not have a connection, you must establish it in one of two ways: through network cable or WiFi compound. Let's look at both options in more detail:

Connecting to the router via a network cable (network).

• Everything is very simple here: we take the cable that comes with the router and connect it to the device using the LAN connector. The connectors are labeled and therefore the error here is minimal, since you can choose any of the four (see the figure below). The second end of the cable is inserted into the connector of the system unit or laptop. This is what it should look like:

The answer to this question depends on what kind of error you have and at what stage of the process. Some users encounter problems connecting to the router; many do not open settings in one browser or another and the message “ the page is not available". These are the most common problems and to fix them you can try the following:

1. Check the IP receiving settings if you are using a local network or Wi-Fi. More details are not available in Article 192.168.1.1;
2. Check the IP network settings for automatic address acquisition, if the problem persists, then try using a network cable.
3. If the connection was initially made via a cable, then you need to check that it is connected correctly.
4. Make sure that the router is connected to the mains (the red light should be blinking).
5. Try accessing the settings from another device using a cable and Wi-Fi.
6. Reset the router settings to factory defaults and try the connection procedure again.

Today we’ll talk about how to go into the settings of an Asus router. Like many other network devices, modems and routers from the manufacturer Asus have general access control rules. You enter the settings via a browser - here the administrator console opens, into which you can make the necessary changes.

Login to settings

An Asus router, like any other, allows you to connect via a browser. In order to open the admin panel, you must enter the device's IP address. You can find out in three ways:

· by examining the back cover of the device and finding the address on it;

· open the network connection menu in Windows and find out the IP;

· connecting to the device via a network cable.

The second and third methods are preferable, since sometimes wizards set unique values ​​on the device and the factory data indicated on the back cover of the modem becomes irrelevant.

Connection via network cable

The easiest way. To do this, you need to connect the router to the computer with a network cable. On the computer or laptop case there is a special connector for the network cable. The modem must have a LAN connector (not to be confused with WAN). After this, you can enter the address 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1. Done, now we have access to the admin panel. Here you need to enter the user login and password (admin / admin, as a rule).

The blue square indicates the LAN port.

Connect using Windows tools

The preferred option for gaining access, which allows you to accurately determine the exact address of the modem. You can log into the router by opening the access control menu. To do this, press the key combination Win + R and enter ncpa.pl in the window that opens. After this action, all available devices for connection will open and among them find the Asus we are interested in (it may have a different name if the data has been previously changed).

Then you need to right-click on the device name and select the “Status” or “Status” menu item (in the Russian version of Windows). When you click on the status, another additional window will open, in which there will be a “Details” or “More” menu. By clicking on this button, the connection data will appear. There you need to find the line IPv4 Default Gateway or “Default Gateway” and the address indicated next to it. This is the IP address of the modem through which the connection occurs. You need to copy this IP into the address bar of your browser, after which you will be able to log in to the admin panel. Enter your username and password again. The admin panel is open.

Connection problems

Many users complain and write questions online that are similar to “I can’t enter the menu” or “the router menu does not open.” As a rule, this happens if changes have been made in the modem admin panel. How to enter the router settings with this problem? There is one surefire way - physically resetting the router. To do this, press and hold the Reset button located on the back of the device for 10 seconds.

How to enter safe mode?

Logging into the admin panel via Wi-Fi is the most preferred solution, as it is simple and includes all the necessary settings. This method allows you to open any page with settings and set the data that is necessary to use the modem. As a rule, a personal account is set up on a router via a Wi-Fi connection.

Tip: You should not change some of the router's factory settings, such as the frequency range or other criteria that were set by the manufacturer. This will help prevent other problems from arising. Ultimately, due to such interference, it may be necessary to completely reset the modem.

Is it difficult to configure ASUS routers? Perhaps, it is this Taiwanese company that has the graphical interface of its “native” firmware that looks as user-friendly as possible. Basic setup of such a router (RT-N of any series, WL-500 and 520, RT-G32) can be completed in 2 minutes. But first, you need to find out the address of the ASUS router in order to enter the web interface. The standard address value for ASUS devices is the following: 192.168.1.1. This is true even for routers with a built-in ADSL block. Indeed, why change anything if the standard values ​​are given in any setup manual? The standard login and password for entering the interface is the “admin” pair.

The only case when problems may arise is if someone has already “configured” the router, and did it in such a way that the value of the IP address and password became different.

Therefore, the first piece of advice. If the router is not new, turn on the power, wait a minute, press reset on its case. The reset button must be held for 10-15 seconds, then released and turned off the device. True, ASUS has a button called restore.

Now we will look at how to connect the router to a computer, and then go to the web interface.

Preliminary steps before setting up

Connecting the router's wired connections

To configure the router, you need to connect it to the computer with a network cable. The sequence of actions before setting up is as follows:

• To the WAN port (blue) - you need to connect the connector of the provider cable
• Any LAN port – connect to the Ethernet port of the computer’s network card (using the patch cord included in the kit)

• Before turning on the router, it is recommended to check that the wired connection is configured correctly on your computer

• If all of the above is done, you can turn on the power to the router. And send the computer to reboot.

We will configure the router from the GUI. Now let’s look at how to find out the interface’s IP address yourself.

When the connection between the computer and the router is established, you can right-click on the icon for this connection. Next, select the word “Status” and go to the “Support” tab:

Connection Status - Support

In the first line of this tab, the user sees the IP address of the computer (the address looks like 192.168.1.XX). Well, the “IP” of the router ends with “one”.

For example, if the computer is assigned the address 192.168.1.13, then the web interface of the router can be opened by going to the following address: 192.168.1.1.

Although in most cases the IP address of an ASUS router is 192.168.1.1, we have looked at a universal method here (allowing you to find out its value). Let's move on to the settings.

Login to the web interface

When the router boots up (which will happen 40 seconds after turning on), the computer will establish a connection with it. Next, you can open any browser and go to the address whose meaning we found out: 192.168.1.1.

Entering the device setup interface

The router will ask the user for a login and password. The pair “admin” is suitable here. After 2-3 seconds the user will see the following tab:

Interface start tab

On the start tab, you can only configure the wireless network (change the SSID name, set a password). Internet connection settings are hidden in another tab, “Advanced Settings” -> “WAN”.

Change the settings to suit your needs

Changing the password for the web interface

For some reason, it is this option that usually raises questions. Username and password can be changed in routers, but with some restrictions. For ASUS, for example, the user name, that is, the login, cannot be changed (it always remains “admin”).

To set a new password value, in the router’s web interface go to the “Additional settings” -> “Administration” tab (then to the “System” tab):

Setting a password

Set the top field to the password value. Confirm it in the next field. Click Apply. Next time, you will only be able to access the web interface with a new password.

Happy setup!

Changing the router's IP address on the local network

If the default address value is not suitable for the user at the moment, this can be corrected. Go to the “Advanced settings” -> “LAN” tab:

ASUS router IP address (from our example) will change to 192.168.10.1. What happens after you click the Apply button.

It is important to know! Unnecessarily, there is no need to change the value of the network mask (let the mask with the last zero remain, as done “by default”).

An IP value ending in two units may be “not suitable” for the following reasons. Let's say the WAN port of the router is connected to a modem (configured in router mode). With this connection, the router is configured “for DHCP”. Then, it is imperative to fulfill the condition that the IP addresses of the local networks of the router and modem are not from the same range.

Or, let’s say, “behind the router” there is the next device, which also organizes a local network with a similar range of addresses. Changing the IP address in the router solves such problems in one second.
