Interactive television "Rostelecom": instructions for connecting a router
One of the most common TV connection options is to use a special router. To attach it, just follow these steps:
- Lay out the Internet cable from the box (in the entrance) to the set-top box.
- Connect the cable to the router.
- Connect the set-top box (using the HDMI connector) to your TV.
- Insert the cord of the device into a socket.
- Fix excess wires as securely as possible and hide under special protection or carpeting.
And if everything is done correctly, almost immediately after switching on you will get access to the Rostelecom TV program package. Payment for the services of the master in this case is not provided, but on the condition that you perform the connection on your own.
Brief instructions for connecting Wi-Fi
For this connection, you must first purchase a dedicated wireless adapter. Then it will be necessary to install it on the provider's prefix itself and connect it. You don't need to configure anything here. Just use the standard settings.
This method is suitable for those users who do not want to pull the cable around the room. However, before buying an adapter, be sure to consult with company representatives, since not all store devices are suitable for branded set-top boxes.
How to connect PLC adapter?
To connect you will need a special device (PLC adapter). It connects through a regular outlet and acts as a kind of adapter that connects all the wires via a single local network.
First, connect the cable to the adapter and your TV or computer. Connect all devices to the network and start channel scanning. The advantage of this connection method is the ability to connect several Rostelecom devices to the network at the same time. Payment for Internet servicesconnections are made shortly before all devices are connected to the network.
