In order to have access to the Internet, it is necessary that all devices, whether it be a computer or a home router, be configured correctly. In this article, we will analyze in detail what settings are used by such a large provider as Rostelecom.
What to do first
In order to make it clear which Internet settings from Rostelecom to set, you need to know the following details, which can be clarified in the technical support of the provider or in the contract that was concluded when connecting.
Depending on the region, the following connection technologies may be used:
- ADSL (copper telephone line connection);
- GPon (use of optics, which is held in the apartment to the subscriber);
- FTTx (Ethernet cable connection);
- Docsis (uses coaxial cable).
Depending on the technology, different network devices are used, and may differwiring diagram.
The type of connection shows how the logical part of the connection is made (it is indicated when setting up the equipment). The necessary information can be obtained directly from the provider's technical support.
Additional data - IP address, subnet mask and gateway, or login and password to establish a connection - are usually prescribed directly in the contract.
Connection diagram
Let's consider the main connection scheme options for setting up the Internet from Rostelecom.
- ADSL. The telephone cable from the telephone socket is connected to the splitter (divider), then to the ADSL modem. From it, a network cable through the LAN connector goes to the computer, or, if wireless devices are used, the connection goes through Wi-Fi.
- GPon. An optical cable is connected to the terminal, and then in the same way: either a twisted pair cable is used to a computer or router, or a wireless network.
- FTTx (Ethernet). The network cable is immediately connected to the computer or router.
- Docsis. A coaxial cable goes to the modem, then a router or computer is connected.
Make sure all cables are connected to devices, not damaged. The appropriate LEDs should be lit (ADSL and LAN1, or PON and LAN1, or INTERNET or WAN and the corresponding LAN LED, respectively).
What to set up on the computer
Check with your ISP for the connection type. Most often, when using ADSL, Ethernet and Docsis technologies, PPPoE is used.(high speed connection).
Setting up Rostelecom Internet on a computer for this type is done as follows:
- Through the control panel, go to the "Network and Sharing Center" section, then you need to click on the "Set up a new connection or network" link and follow the step-by-step prompts.
- Now you need to check "Connect to the Internet" (the topmost item), and then go to setting up a high-speed connection.
- Enter login and password received from the provider. Then complete the setup.
Also, the connection type can be static or dynamic IP. Then you need to access the network connection in the same way through the network and sharing center, which is located in the "Change adapter settings" menu, and find your connection. It will be called either "Local Area Connection" or "Internet" (Ethernet).
Right clicking on this connection will take you to the "Properties" menu. After that, you need to configure the Internet protocol for Rostelecom: select the version four protocol, select it with the mouse and in the properties write either the data received from the provider (if the connection type is Static IP), or select automatic receipt (for dynamic IP). Check the correctness of the data entered, check them with those available in the contract, if required.
After that, save the data, Internet settings"Rostelecom" on the computer is completed.
How to set up a router
Before setting up the Rostelecom router for the Internet, make sure it is properly connected and the POWER, WAN/ADSL and LAN indicators are on.
Once you have checked this, go to the web interface of the router settings at the IP address 192.168.1.1 (if it does not work, try entering 192.168.0.1) and log in. Standard login data can be found on the router body or specify the factory ones (admin is used as a login, the password is the same).
As a rule, the interface of the router is intuitive, the connection type is selected in the "Network", "Internet" or WAN section.
Setting up the Internet from Rostelecom is done in the same way, depending on the type of connection. If the connection type is PPPoE, select it in the appropriate item, you will need to enter your login and password in the field below.
For dynamic and static IP settings will also be similar to those used on a computer: either the data specified in the desired item, or receiving data automatically. After that, save the settings and reboot the router. Done!
If you have any difficulty in understanding the interface of the router, refer to the instructions or go to the official website of the manufacturer. There, as a rule, there are emulators for most popular models.
In conclusion
As you can see, setting up Rostelecom's Internet is very simple andcan be performed by any user, not even the most experienced. If there is no connection data in the contract, you can contact the technical support of the provider.
