Help on Tele2, tariffs, questions

Again I want to try to answer Daniel.

Daniel, I have a TP-LINK TL-WR842N "N-series Multifunctional Wireless Router" installed.
I bought and installed it when I got tired of "messing around" with wires that constantly got in the way under my feet and not only for this reason.
Long before buying a router, I bought three TL-WN823N "Wireless Network USB Adapters" for three of my desktop computers
and handed out WI-FI internet from your "main" (most powerful) computer, to which the cable was connected high speed internet. All traffic went through my computer, which entailed inconvenience - by turning off my computer, I turned off access to the Internet for other family members and my processor load was noticeable.
Having purchased a router, I received a device that provides all my devices (personal computers, a laptop, a tablet and two smartphones) with equal and balanced access to the Internet in terms of speed.
Following the instructions in the router's Quick Setup Guide, I created my own wireless network, with my own password (not to be confused with the password for accessing a high-speed wired connection).
It is important here that the router connects to the Internet automatically, which is signaled by green lights. If a large light bulb (LED) glows green, then the router has connected to the Internet and is ready to distribute the Internet, if it is yellow, then something is wrong with the connection to internet provider via cable (perhaps not configured correctly).
The connection to the Wi-Fi network we created is the same for both the laptop and the phone - we look at the list of available wireless connections, select the network with the name that we entered when setting up the router, click "connect". When you connect for the first time, the system will require you to enter a password - we enter the password, again, the password that we “hammered” into the router during setup (but this is not a password for a high-speed connection, you can forget that password, the router will always remember it).

Now about what all the fuss is for. As I understand it, you decided to connect your computer to the router using a wire, and other devices using Wi-Fi. I did not try, but immediately hung the router in the far corner and have not touched it since. I don’t remember why I didn’t try it the way you are trying to connect, and maybe even tried it, but I can assume that just like that, “with a running start”, it won’t work. Recently, I read articles on the internet, looking for an answer to the question of how to expand the Wi-Fi coverage area. So, it's not that easy. It is necessary to organize several networks and a hierarchical dependence of devices (the required number of routers).
From the description of the TP-LINK router, it does not at all follow that those four yellow connectors are an analogue of the HUB, designed to connect several computers to the Internet as if they were part of the Wi-Fi network, and they are not repeaters or branchers wired internet. It's still called a wireless router ... ..
I managed to find on the Internet a description of the router in Russian and with pictures:
img.mvideo.ru/ins/50041572.pdf
Perhaps you will be able to learn something and I would be grateful if you later share the solution you found (if you find it).
And I would not suffer for a long time and would have acquired USB adapter WiFi….

Why does the router not distribute Wi-Fi? An overview of the main causes and ways to solve them.

Navigation

Since today almost every person has at his disposal not only a desktop computer, but also a laptop, tablet, smartphone or all at once, the most convenient type of Internet connection for him is WiFi who distributes wireless Internet all devices at once using a router.

As a rule, after installing and configuring the router by the master, many users believe that there can be no failures in its operation. However, this opinion is erroneous. Quite often, users are faced with a situation where the router stops distributing the Internet over WiFi, but with a direct connection, there is access to the network. Let's try to figure out what can cause such a problem and how to fix it.

Key Signs of Wireless Network Failures

Most often when people encounter network errors WiFi, they blame the router itself for their occurrence and believe that it needs to be replaced. However, in most cases, the problem lies not in the device itself, but in its incorrect configuration and computer settings. Consider the main evidence of a malfunction:

• The device cannot find a signal WiFi;
• WiFi constantly reconnecting;
• The wireless connection provides very slow internet speeds;
• Infinite connection to the router;
• The device is connected to the network WiFi, but no internet access;

In the event that you encounter one of the above malfunctions, before putting an end to the router, it is recommended that you carefully check and reconfigure the router and the device to which it is connected.

Troubleshooting the router

Before proceeding to the settings, you must first exclude hardware malfunctions of the device. To do this, follow these steps:

Step 1.

• Connect LAN cable directly to your computer and check your internet connection. If there is Internet access, then the device is working properly and the problem lies in the router itself.

Step 2.

• Connect LAN cable to the router and connect it with a second cable to the computer. If in this case Internet access has appeared, then the router is in working order and the reason for the wireless network lies in the settings of the WiFi.

Step 3.

• Almost every router has a special button with which you can turn it on and off. WiFi. Click on it and make sure that the indicator light with the icon lights up on the device WiFi. It will signal that the sensor WiFi physically correct.

Step 4.

• After you have established the health of the router, you need to make sure that the connected via WiFi device is correct. To do this, try connecting to the wireless network from another computer, phone, or tablet.

• If another device recognizes the network and goes online, then the problem lies in the device that you connected earlier. Check if it is enabled WiFi and try again.

Troubleshooting Internet access via Wi-Fi

If the computer is connected to WiFi, but there is no Internet access, the problem is almost certainly an incorrect configuration of the operating system. If the computer was previously connected to the network of another provider, then, most likely, the previous IP address and DNS server address were saved in its settings. To reconfigure them, follow these steps:

Step 1.

• On the taskbar in the right corner, find the icon for a wireless Internet connection, right-click on it and from the menu that appears, select the line " Network and Sharing Center».

Step 2.

• In the pop-up window on the left, click on the line " Change adapter settings”, then right-click on the wireless connection icon and select “ Properties».

Step 3.

• In the expanded window, you will need to find the line in the list " TCP/IPv4 protocol”, right-click on it and also select the line “ Properties».

Step 4.

• The network card settings will open in front of you. In this window, you can manually enter IP and addresses DNS servers. However, for the correct operation of the wireless connection, it is recommended to set markers opposite the lines " Obtain an IP address automatically" And " Obtain DNS Server Address Automatically».

• After selecting the items, press the button twice OK» to complete the setup and restart your computer. After the reboot, try to connect to the Internet using WiFi.

Setting up a Wi-Fi transmission channel through the router interface

In theory, one of the above methods of solving the problem should have worked. However, if this did not happen, then the last option remains.

All routers distribute WiFi through special channels, the number of which can reach 13 or more. As a rule, in the default settings of the router is auto mode finding the most suitable channel. In the event that the channel used is the same as the channel of your neighbors, Wi-Fi may experience disruptions. To change the channel manually, follow these steps:

Step 1.

• Turn your router upside down and examine the contents of the sticker on the back of it. There must be indicated IP address to access the settings, as well as the login and password to enter them.

Figure 1. Setting up a Wi-Fi transmission channel through the router interface

Step 2.

• Open any browser and enter the same one in the address bar IP, which is listed on the back of the device. Don't forget to put a dot at the end.
• After going to the specified address, the login page for the router settings will open in front of you. Enter your username and password in the appropriate fields, which are written on the sticker, and log in.

Step 3.

• Next, go to the " Wireless connection” and find the item “ Settings».
• On the right side there is a line " Channel" which has the status " Auto».

Step 4.

• Click on the arrow to open the drop-down list and select one of the available channels in it. Next click " Save».
• The router will go to reboot. After processing all the new settings, you can try to connect to the Internet using WiFi. The problem must be solved.

IMPORTANT: The router settings interface depends on its manufacturer and model. The article shows an example of a router TP Link. However, all interfaces are similar to each other and have similar section names. If you want to learn more about the interface of your device, go to the official website of your provider and view information on routers.

VIDEO: The router does not distribute the Internet via Wi-Fi. What to do?

I chose the title for this article not by chance. It is with such questions that users often turn to the comments for help. As a rule, the problem occurs due to the fact that the router does not distribute the Internet over a Wi-Fi network, and is associated with an incorrect connection of the client (computer, TV, tablet) to the network device. However, it also happens that there is a connection to the router, but there is no access to the Internet via Wi-Fi, and the connected clients via the LAN cable to the network device perfectly go to global network.

I think that many users, when this problem occurs, contact service center or call the master to the house. But if you are not averse to dealing with the problem yourself and at the same time saving N amount of money, then I propose to consider the main points related to the lack of connection and access to the Internet via the router's wireless network.

No matter how trite it may sound, the first thing to do is to make sure that the Internet provider provides us with access to the global network and at the moment everything is working properly. To do this, you need to insert the provider's network cable into the computer's Ethernet port - bypassing the router. If you have access to the Internet - great, if not, then find out why your provider does not have access to the global network.

We have verified that the Internet is working. Now we need to find out if the problem is with the router or with the connected client. To do this, for example, you can connect several devices (computer, tablet, smartphone) to a wireless network. If all devices find your wireless network, and when you connect to it, there is no access to the Internet (sites do not load), then the problem is related to the configuration of the network device.

But if all devices successfully connect and load sites and only one laptop, for example, receives a status without access to the Internet, then it is obvious that the problem is related to it. Earlier I described, and, therefore, I will not dwell on these points, but below I will mention the problem with DNS servers.

The device does not connect to the Wi-Fi network.

If during the connection of the client to Wi-Fi the device does not see the wireless network, but connects to others without problems, then as a rule the solution to the problem lies in the settings of the router. Look at the top panel of the router in the area of ​​​​indicators and find the LED informing you about the activation status of the Wi-Fi module in the router. The indicator is located near the antenna with radio waves and if the module is turned on, the LED will blink or stay on.

If the indicator is not lit, then this indicates that the module is deactivated. To enable or disable the Wi-Fi module in the router, you can use the special button located on the body of the network device, unless, of course, the manufacturers have provided such an opportunity.

But if there is no button, then you should go to the section responsible for the wireless connection (Wireless). As a rule, to enter the router interface, you need to enter the gateway 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 in the browser line and log in.

This is how you can enable the Wi-Fi module in the TP-Link router:

And this is how activation is performed in the ASUS router:

Sometimes it is not possible to connect to a Wi-Fi network due to the assigned radio channel. Very often, users of this function assign automatic mode. Try to change, for example, to the 1st or 6th. By the way, these are not intersecting channels. If, after changing the radio channel, the device (tablet, smartphone) finds a network, then most likely they use different region. In one of the publications, I already said that a certain number of channels are assigned to each region. For the USA - 11; Europe and Russia - 13; Japan - 14.

It also happens that while connecting to a Wi-Fi network, the device throws out, accompanied by a message that wrong password. In this case, you can do the following in turn:

1. Set the encryption type to AES for the WPA2-PSK standard;
2. Write a password consisting of one digits (at least 8 characters);
3. Change WPA2-PSK to WPA-PSK.

The device connects to a Wi-Fi network, but does not access the Internet.

Sometimes it happens that the device is almost connected, but instead of accessing the Internet, we have to see the message “Obtaining an IP address” on the screen for a while, and then reconnect again. If you are faced with such a reconnect, then this indicates that the connected devices to wifi router cannot obtain an IP address because the network device's DHCP server function is not enabled.

If, nevertheless, the DHCP server function is activated, and the router does not distribute the Internet over the Wi-Fi network, then this may indicate a problem with the DNS servers. The fact is that the domain name service can work unstable, assign DNS incorrectly or not assign at all. However, there is still a way out. You need to register DNS from Yandex 77.88.8.8 or Google 8.8.8.8. You need to register DNS manually in the settings of the connected device. Earlier I mentioned

We are often approached with such a problem - the router does not distribute WiFi to devices connected to it - a laptop, phone, tablet or TV. It seems that everything is connected correctly, all gadgets work and there is no Internet access. Why is this happening and how to make the router distribute Wi-Fi again ?!

Before taking any steps - first try to restart your router first and then all other gadgets. As practice suggests, in most cases the reason why the router does not distribute WiFi Internet- this is a banal failure of the operation of one or more devices at once. A simple restart solves problems in half of the cases that arise.

Next, you need to check Internet access through the LAN ports of the device by connecting a computer or laptop to them using a network patch cord. If the router does not distribute the Internet either via Wi-Fi or via cable, then either it is broken or reset, or there are problems on the communication channel and you can safely call technical support your telecom operator.

WiFi is disabled on the router

You need to start the diagnostics by determining whether the wireless module on the router works at all. To do this, there must be an appropriate indicator in the form of an antenna on its body. Here, for example, is the indicator on the Rostelecom Sagemcom 2804 router:

It signals that Wi-Fi on the router is turned on, power is supplied to it and the radio signal should be broadcast. That is, at the physical level, everything functions as it should.

If the indicator is off, it means that the router does not distribute WiFi because the radio module is turned off. To turn it on, you need to find the Wi-Fi power button on the device. It is usually marked in the form of an antenna:

If there is no such button. then you need to go to the router settings through a web browser (using its IP - or ) and in the main settings of the wireless network, find the item "Enable wireless broadcasting" (Enable Wireless, Enable Radio, etc.):

In those cases when you press the button or put the necessary checkmark, and the radio module still does not turn on and the indicator diode does not light up, all you have to do is either carry the device to the service or buy a new one.

WiFi is on but no network is visible

The second common case is when the router does not distribute WiFi, although everything seems to be working correctly. But at the same time, the network is not visible on the connected phone, tablet or laptop.

The first thing you need to pay attention to is whether identifier translation is enabled SSID. In simpler terms, is the network hidden by chance. To do this, on the TP-Link routers in the basic Wi-Fi settings, we look to see if the "Enable SSID Broadcasting" checkbox is checked:

Other manufacturers like Zyxel, D-Link or Asus organize this moment a little differently - you need to check if the "Hide SSID" checkbox is checked:

If it is set, then the name of the router's network is not broadcast, which means that when scanning a range, it will not be displayed in the list of available ones.

The second common reason why the router's network is not visible and it does not distribute WiFi is the radio channel used. Owners of smartphones and tablets brought from other countries, in particular from the USA, are often "pricked" by this. The fact is that 13 channels are allowed in Europe and Russia, and only 11 in the USA. From here, the router will broadcast the signal on channels 12 and 13, but the American iPhone will not see the network. The solution here is simple:

In the basic wireless settings of the router, select the 1st or 6th radio channel by default. After that, on the connected gadget, you need to start scanning the range again.

The network is available, the router does not distribute the Internet

The third case is the most interesting. It is interesting because it confuses the user the most. The router distributes Wi-Fi, devices connect to it without problems, but the Internet does not work.

On Windows 10, the WiFi icon has an exclamation mark and the connection status has a comment No internet connection. What to do in this case?

It is necessary to check access from the LAN ports of the router (if you have not done this before) in order to determine exactly which side the problem is. And it often happens that there is no money on the account or there are problems on the line, and the user cannot understand why the router does not distribute the Internet via WiFi.

Is the cable okay? Then most likely the reason is the incorrect settings of the wireless adapter. Press the key combination Win + R, in the line "Run" enter this:

Press the Enter key. So we get into network connections Windows.

Right-click on the wireless network card and select "Properties". A window will appear in which you need to double-click on the item IP version 4 (TCP/IPv4) to open the following protocol parameters window:

Here you need to put automatic receipt IP addresses and DNS servers. We press the OK button in turn in both windows and check the access.

If this does not help and the router still does not distribute the Internet via WiFi, try manually registering the DNS server. To do this, go back to the protocol settings and check the box "Use the following DNS server addresses", just like in the picture.

A lot of comments and questions are collected by articles on setting up Wi-Fi distribution from laptops. When the Internet is connected to the laptop, we start distributing the Internet via Wi-Fi in Windows and connect our devices to it: phones, tablets, and other laptops. Our laptop replaces a Wi-Fi router. You can start sharing Wi-Fi in Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10. In Windows XP, this is not possible.

I have already prepared instructions for setting up hotspot on Windows 10 (using the command line, or the Switch Virtual Router program) and in Windows 7. See these articles:

So, many people manage to start distributing Wi-Fi without problems. But, there are cases when, after setting up Wi-Fi distribution on a laptop, the network itself appears, devices connect to it, but the Internet does not work. On phones and tablets, pages simply do not open in the browser, and programs that need access to the Internet do not work. If you connect other computers to your laptop via Wi-Fi, then when such a problem occurs in Windows, the Internet connection status will be "No Internet access". Or, limitedly, if you have Windows 8, or Windows 10.

Right-click on the Internet connection icon and select Network and Sharing Center.

We open Change adapter settings.

Right-click on the adapter through which your laptop is connected to the Internet. Choose Properties.

Go to the Access tab, check the box next to "Allow other network users to use this computer's Internet connection" and select the network we created from the list. Most likely, it will have the name " Wireless network connection" with some number at the end. Click Ok.

After these steps, the Internet should work. If it does not work, then try restarting the laptop and starting the Wi-Fi distribution again.

2 Disable antivirus and firewall. Antiviruses very often block the connection of your device to a laptop. In such cases, you get an error like "Could not connect, getting an IP address all the time", or an endless connection to Wi-Fi.

But it may also be that due to the antivirus, or the installed firewall on your laptop, from which you distribute the Internet, there will be no access to the Internet. Therefore, you just need to try disabling the antivirus. For a while. You can only disable the built-in firewall. On different antiviruses, this is done in different ways.

3 Check if other devices are working. It may be that the problem is not with the laptop that is distributing the Internet, but with the device that you are trying to connect to the Internet. If possible, just take another device and connect it to the network you created. See if there is internet access.

If the problem appears when you connect a laptop with Windows 7 installed, you can also read the instructions for. If you have Windows 10, and the status is "Limited", then look.

4 Internet connection features. It is clear that in order to distribute the Internet from a laptop, it must be connected to the Internet. It is this connection that he distributes to your other devices. So, if there is no access to the Internet, then this may be due to the peculiarities of your Internet connection. Especially, it can be when connected via a 3G / 4G modem.

I have no way to check the operation of the virtual Wi-Fi network, with different Internet connections. Therefore, if you can’t turn your laptop into a Wi-Fi router in any way, then this may be due to an Internet connection.

6 Update: in the comments, Zhenya shared another solution that helped him fix the problem with the lack of Internet when distributing Wi-Fi from a computer.

On the "Access" tab, where we open the general access to the Internet connection, you need to click on the "Settings" button, and in the new window check the box next to "DNS server".

Click Ok and see the result. The Internet on the devices that you connected to the laptop should appear. If not, then try restarting your computer and starting the distribution again.

7 Update: another tip from the comments. If your computer is on a home network, then try logging out of it. This should help, and your laptop will start distributing the Internet to other devices.

If you solved this problem in some other way, then you can tell us about it in the comments, we will be grateful. Well, ask your questions, we will try to help!

8 Another solution shared by Mikhail in the comments, and this method has helped many.

We go to the devices of your Internet connection (as I showed above in the article), and uncheck the box "Allow other network users to use ...". Click Ok. Next, open the properties of this connection again, and check the box next to "Allow other network users to use ..." and select our connection from the list (wireless network connection with a number at the end). Click Ok. Internet on devices should work.

Often there are times when the Wi-Fi network works, devices connect, but the Internet does not work. In this article I will tell you how to solve this problem on Asus routers. If you have asus router, which does not distribute the Internet via Wi-Fi, then this instruction should come in handy. It seems to me that this problem is most often encountered during the first setup of the router. Everything is set up, connected, a Wi-Fi network has appeared, devices are connected to it, but there is no access to the Internet.

If you connect a computer, then the connection status will most likely have a yellow exclamation mark, and the inscription "No Internet access", and in Windows 8 and Windows 10 - "Limited". And on smartphones and tablets, the Internet simply will not work. Pages in the browser will not open, etc. By the way, via cable, the Internet is also unlikely to work from the Asus router. I think it's a familiar situation.

We will consider two options for solving this problem:

• When the problem appeared in the process of setting up the Asus router.
• And when everything worked fine, the router was distributing the Internet via Wi-Fi, and suddenly the Internet access was gone.

There are just different reasons and solutions. That will make it easier to understand.

Why does the Asus router not distribute Wi-Fi after setting it up?

More precisely, he distributes Wi-Fi, but the Internet does not work. It is very important to understand here that the very presence of a wireless network, and connecting to it does not mean an Internet connection. The fact is that the router in any case distributes Wi-Fi as soon as we plug it into the outlet. But in order to have access to the Internet, this Internet needs to be connected to the router and configured.

A cable from your ISP or ADSL modem must be plugged into the router's WAN port. If you have Internet through a USB modem, then look at the settings.

I think you connected everything correctly. And now, the most important point - configuring the router for your ISP. If the settings are set incorrectly, then the Asus router cannot connect to the Internet, and it cannot distribute it.

In the settings you need to go to the tab Internet. Choose correct WAN connection type that your ISP uses and set the required parameters (which depend on the selected connection type). You need to check with the provider what type of connection it uses: Dynamic IP, Static IP, PPPoE, L2TP, PPTP.

You also need to clarify whether the provider binds by MAC address. If it does, then read the article.

The main task is to select the correct type of connection (WAN), and set the necessary parameters (if it is needed): password, username, IP address. After these steps, the router will connect to the Internet, and will be able to distribute it over a Wi-Fi network.

What to do if everything worked and the Internet via Wi-Fi suddenly disappeared

Many people ask why the router stopped distributing the Internet via Wi-Fi, if everything worked fine. In such cases, we do this:

• First of all, just reboot the router and computer, phone, tablet, etc.
• You need to make sure that there are no problems on the provider's side. Well, you never know, maybe they have something with equipment, etc. You can simply disconnect the cable from the router and connect it to the computer. So we will understand which side of the problem is on. Also, make sure that you have paid for the Internet. You can call the provider's support and find out everything.
• Check if the Internet is connected to the router (network cable itself). Maybe he just "jumped out" of the WAN connector.
• It would be nice to make sure that our Asus does not distribute the Internet to all devices (if it is possible to connect multiple devices).
• Check the connection settings in the router control panel on the Internet tab. How to do this, I showed above. Perhaps the settings just flew off.

If none of the tips helped, and you still couldn’t figure out why the Asus router stopped distributing the Internet over a Wi-Fi network, then describe your case in the comments. Let's think about a solution together.

Well, a very, very common problem. If you have a laptop (or computer with ), and connected to it, you can save on buying a router, and distribute the Internet from your laptop to your mobile devices. This is not very convenient, and it does not always work, but there is such an opportunity.

Of course, I would advise you to buy a Wi-Fi router and not torment your computer with Hotspot settings. But, there are different cases, and very often, the ability to distribute the Internet from a laptop helps out a lot. There is nothing difficult in setting up the access point itself, but there is one problem that is very popular. When, during setup, you try to connect to the Wi-Fi network created on the laptop, the device connects, but the Internet does not work.

On our site, at the moment there are three for setting up Wi-Fi HotSpot. You can check them out:

You can look at the comments for each article. They almost always ask only one thing: a Wi-Fi network appears, phones, tablets, laptops, etc. will successfully connect to it, but when you try to access the Internet, nothing works. Sites do not open, programs that use the Internet also do not work.

The problem is understandable in principle, it's just that the laptop does not have access to the Internet. More precisely, it is, but it does not go to the created access point. And the two most popular reasons are: the connection is blocked by an antivirus or firewall, or the general access to the Internet is not open, in the properties of the connection from which you distribute Wi-Fi.

Internet does not work from the created access point on the laptop

Most often, I advise you to disable your antivirus, or firewall if it is installed. And it helps. There, only when setting up via a USB modem, there can be nuances, but as a rule, disabling the antivirus helps, and the Internet starts working on all connected devices.

Also, check the general access to your connection. I wrote about this in every article, links to which are above. And I wrote about antiviruses in every article. But who reads these articles 🙂 but the comments are full of the same questions. Will now give just a link to this article.

So, if you have the same problems as I described above, then first of all disable your antivirus and other programs that can block Internet connections. Well, check the sharing settings.

Often the question arises, but how to completely disable the antivirus? Delete? No, every antivirus has the ability to temporarily suspend protection. For example, in Dr.Web it is done like this:

As you can see, it is enough to disable the built-in firewall to check if it is the case. If after disconnecting everything works, then the connection was blocked by the antivirus.

Kaspersky is disabled like this:

If you have a different antivirus, then just type in the search “how to disable such and such an antivirus”, everything is there.

Let's say you disabled your antivirus and everything worked. What now, without an antivirus to use a computer? No, you just need to add the connection to the exclusions in your antivirus settings. So that the built-in firewall does not block it.

Look for the firewall settings, there you can unblock the desired connection.

If disabling the antivirus and other programs does not help, and checking the sharing settings also did not help, then write in the comments, describe the problem in detail and I will try to help you. If you know any solutions, perhaps you have already encountered such a problem, then you can share it in the comments. I will be grateful!
