Hello! We will now configure the Asus RT-N12+ router. You can read a short review, photos, characteristics and reviews about this router (don't forget to leave your feedback, it is very important to us :)). I am sure that these instructions will be suitable for other Asus RT-N12 routers different versions, there are a lot of them, I wrote about this in the article linked above. Why, using these instructions you can configure almost any Asus router. I have on this moment There is only RT-N12+, so we will torture it. When the opportunity arises, I will definitely write about other models.
Now we will quickly set up our Asus RT-N12+, I will tell you how to connect everything, go to settings, configure the Internet, set the name of the Wi-Fi network and change the password. I will provide a link to instructions for updating the firmware. In a few minutes you will already be drinking tea and surfing the Internet via Wi-Fi :)
I will not review this router, as I wrote about it in detail on its page (link at the beginning of this article). Let me just write that the router looks very beautiful and stylish, it works stably, and it is intended mainly for home use. Suitable for connecting tablets, phones, laptops, TVs, etc. via Wi-Fi, and if there is no wireless connection, you can connect 4 devices via cable. For a small apartment or small house, this is a great option.
We will configure it according to the following scheme:
- Connecting and entering settings
- Setting up Asus RT-N12 using the wizard quick setup
- Setting up an Internet connection with a WAN provider (if it didn’t work through the quick setup wizard)
- Setting a Wi-Fi password and changing the wireless network name
- Changing the password to access settings.
To configure the router, we will definitely need information about what type of connection your provider uses and whether it binds by MAC address. And if the connection type is PPPoE, L2TP, or PPTP, then you will need additional data, such as username, password, possibly IP, etc. All this data is provided by the provider. How to find out the connection type, I .
Connection and quick setup of Asus RT-N12+
Connect power to the router. If the power indicator does not light up, check whether the power is turned on with the button on the back of the router. Connect the network cable from your provider or modem to the WAN connector. And connect a cable to one of the 4 LAN ports, which will connect the router to the computer. If you don't have a computer, or laptop, or network cable, then you can configure the router via Wi-Fi. But it’s better to use a cable, then you can disconnect it from the computer.
If you configure via Wi-Fi, just connect your laptop (or another device, you can configure it from a tablet or phone) to the wireless network, which will appear immediately after turning on the router. The network will be called Asus and will not be password protected.
It may be that the default network will be called differently, or will have a password. Perhaps someone has already tried to configure our Asus RT-N12. I always recommend doing a factory reset before setting up. Press and hold the button on the back side for 10 seconds (showed her in the photo above). When you release, all the indicators will go out and the router will start to turn on.
Go to the control panel
After everything is connected, open any browser and type the address 192.168.1.1 . Settings should open immediately. If this does not happen, or something went wrong for you, then take a look. We should see the Quick Setup Wizard. To begin, press the button Go.
On the next page we need in the field Network name (SSID) indicate the name of your Wi-Fi network, and in the field Network key set a password to connect to this network. Write this password down somewhere as well.
The router will think and reboot. A Wi-Fi network will appear with the name we just set. Connect to it with the new password that we just set.
After connecting, go back to the settings. A window with connection information should appear. Click Further.
The router will ask you to provide a username and password to access the settings (which you specified during the setup process).
If everything is exactly as I described above, then you are very lucky. This most likely means that your ISP is using a connection technology Automatic IP, and the router configured everything itself. By the way, the Internet through the router should already be working. This completes the router setup.
But, if your connection type L2TP, PPPoE, or PPTP (providers: Beeline, Dom.ru and others), then the setup will go a little differently. You will just need to manually set some parameters.
Internet setup PPPoE, L2TP, PPTP (Dom.ru, Beeline) on Asus RT-N12
If your provider uses PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP, or Static IP technology, then after running the Quick Setup Wizard, after checking the connection, the router should prompt you to select the type of your connection.
You may need to specify some other parameters. IP address, service name, etc. It all depends on the type of connection and your provider.
During the setup process, as soon as the router establishes a connection to the Internet, it will prompt you to set up a Wi-Fi network, etc. Complete these settings as I showed above in this article.
You can always do it yourself change WAN settings(internet connections). Just go to the main settings page (there is a button in the Quick Setup Wizard), and open the tab Internet - Connection.
On this page you can always set the most important Internet connection settings. If the Internet through the router is already working, you have changed the wireless network name and password, then you can finish setting up the Asus router. And I’ll also show you where and how you can change the most important settings.
Setting up Wi-Fi and changing the password
If you want to change the name of your Wi-Fi network, or change the key that you use to connect to Wi-Fi, you can do this at any time in the router settings directly on home page. Simply enter a new username and/or password and click Apply.
More wireless network settings, including channel settings, can be found on the tab Wireless network(left).
After changing the network name or password, do not forget to reconnect your devices to Wi-Fi. If you have connection problems (usually after changing the password), then delete your network and connect to it again.
Protecting the settings of the Asus RT-N12 router
During the setup process, we already asked New Password to access the control panel. But, if you haven’t done this, or want to change your password, then go to the tab Administration - System. Enter the same password twice and click the button Will apply b.
Now, to log into the admin panel, you will use this password. Don't forget it :) On this page you can also change the time zone, assign an action to the WPS button, enable Telnet, etc.
If you have read this article to the end, and you still have a desire to do something, then you can update the firmware of your RT-N12. There is a lot on this topic.
After purchasing asus rt n12, you have a question: how to set up local wifi network. To answer, you need to understand the features of connecting through this router. This is exactly what we will do now.
So, first of all, let's look at the connectors on the back panel of the equipment and connect the cables correctly. There are 5 special ports on the back of the router: 1 of them is for WAN, to which the main provider cable is connected, and the remaining 4 are for LAN type cables.
After connecting all cables, further configuration is best done with personal computer, having a direct connection to the equipment. Next, we move on to setting up the router itself.
IMPORTANT! To connect a desktop computer or laptop, use a LAN cable, one end of which is connected to any LAN port on the router, and the other to the corresponding port on network card your personal computer or laptop.
This recommendation may seem funny and obvious to some, but still check the connection of the router to the outlet. And also make sure that the Internet connection is working and there are no problems with the provider. In addition, check that only the connection via local network.
Initial router setup
We have already connected all the cables, checked the availability Internet connections and plugged the router into the outlet. Now we need to learn how to configure the route. And this is done as follows:
IMPORTANT! We write “admin” if we have not yet changed the factory settings.
- If you are setting up equipment for the first time and have logged in for the first time, automatic setup will start. With automatic setup, you only need to click on the “next” button and enter the required data.
- Then the router will determine the type of Internet connection. If it is successfully determined, enter the password and username that you usually use to access the Internet.
- Now you need to enter a custom wireless name Wi-Fi networks and come up with a password for it.
If you cannot configure the equipment and establish correct operation using automatic settings, and the connection type was not detected automatically, you must make the settings manually.
Setting up a local network of various providers using a router
Internet settings from Beeline, Rostelecom and Dom.ru differ from each other. Next, we will consider the setup procedure for each provider.
First, let’s look at setting up the Asus RT-N12 for the Beeline network: on the main router settings page (we accessed it through the browser address bar using the router’s IP address), click the “Internet” section. A window opens in front of us, where we fill in some lines, as shown in the illustration below. The main thing is to select L2TP in the connection type and tp.internet.beeline.ru in the VPN server item. We put ticks in two places, as in the figure.
After that, save the entered data by clicking “Ok”. If all items are checked correctly, after 20-30 seconds the connection to the Beeline network will be disconnected. Then, after a few seconds, the connection will be restored, and you will be able to work with various sites and other Internet resources. Also, the Wi-Fi network will be correctly displayed and work on all devices: smartphones, tablets, and so on.
If you use the services of Rostelecom or Dom.ru, then we configure the router in the same way, but only on the main page of the router settings in the “Internet” section we indicate other data: in the connection type item we indicate PPPoE, and not L2TP, as before. We also enter your unique username and password. The remaining points remain unchanged. The illustration below shows what a completed section looks like.
Setting up a wireless Wi-Fi network using the Asus RT-N12 router
Open the menu and select “Wireless Network”. Next, fill in a number of points:
- The first item is the SSID, or the name of the wireless network. The name of your network will appear in the Wi-Fi search list on all devices within range of the network. The name is written in English letters.
- In the “Authentication” section, select WPA2-Personal.
- Next, enter the password in the “WPA Pre-Shared Key” section. The password must consist of at least 8 digits.
