Quick setup fails on asus router. Setting up and connecting ASUS RT-N12. Go to the control panel

Step-by-step setup of RT-N12 C1 (B1, D1) for any provider: MTS, Beeline, Rostelecom and TTK, also Dom.ru. Indicates how to properly install a VPN server. And the result of three tests is given.

ASUS routers called RT-N12 are presented in three models: B1, C1 and D1. The new firmware with a black interface is installed on the D1 router, and for the C1 it is easy to update. Model B1, in turn, simply cannot be purchased. That is, for C1 and D1 the setting looks the same, and there are also HP B1 and VP models that have the same black interface. This is what we will talk about further - it is interesting to configure the ASUS RT N12 in a new version. Your firmware number must start with a three.

Equipment and appearance

Appearance of the device

The ASUS website lists the following equipment: LAN power cord, router, power supply, two antennas and a warranty card. For models B1 and C1 there is also a CD-ROM, and their power supply produces 9 Volts. And for D1 you need 12 Volts! The current strength is 1 Ampere in the first case and 0.5 in the second.

Specifications

Each of the three routers under consideration is built on the same processor. The amount of memory and ROM is also the same:

• Processor – BCM5357, 300 MHz;
• FLASH – 8 MB;
• RAM – 32 MB;
• Wi Fi – 802.11n, 300 Mbit/s.

It does not follow from the above that the firmware from routers of one revision is suitable for others. Whoever forgets about this will receive a “brick”.

The hardware revision number is printed on the label in the top line. Example: “H/W Ver. B1".

Options and functionality

3 modes, 4 networks

Each of the three devices, from B1 to D1, operates in router, access point or wireless repeater mode. You can create not one, but four WiFi networks with different names. And you can adjust the bandwidth of each network. In reality, we are talking about one network, it’s just that all subscribers will see four SSID names, and depending on their choice they will receive different traffic. Well, the speed of “300 megabits” is, of course, a theory.

All characteristics are summarized in the table.

Quick Setup Wizard

The asterisk means “only after updating the firmware to version 3.X.” Further, LAN as WAN is configured normally in the third firmware, but not in beta. But for B1 it still needs to be found. However, in the “old interface” they do this: select the IPTV STB port, and use it as a WAN. This method has a drawback - the WAN indicator on the router will not light up.

Work in the "master"

When you first connect to a PC, the router turns on the “master”, and all you need to do is go to the website “192.168.1.1”. No password is needed. Click “Go”, set a password and click “Next”. Then the router will configure the WAN connection itself. But reviews say that this option does not work for everyone.

Most likely, the connection type will have to be set manually. “Special requirements” include MAC cloning. The “wizard” will ask for parameters, and you must fill out the fields correctly. “Router settings” is the third section where you set the password for the WiFi network.

Indicators and connectors

When designing its routers, ASUS did not invent anything. On the case of the RT-N12 router there are 7 LEDs indicating the presence of voltage, as well as the activity of 5 ports and WiFi. A short press on the Restore button will reboot the router, and pressing for 5-7 seconds will reset the settings. This is how any ASUS router works!

Rear panel of the router

The yellow ports are the home network, and the provider's cord is plugged into the WAN port.

If the WAN port on the router burns out, you can use the LAN port instead of the WAN. ASUS is a good company, but additional configuration is needed.

How to connect Wi-Fi router ASUS RT - N12 to a computer

Preparation

On the computer, the network card is configured for “automation”. The LAN port of the router is connected to the PC via a patch cord, and the provider’s cord must be connected to the WAN port. Next, power is supplied to the router: in a minute it will boot, and after 2 minutes the computer will update the address of its card. And you can open the site “192.168.1.1”. In the “wizard”, click “Go”, set a password, click “Next”, “Next”. The router will display the Network Map tab.

WAN setup

To set up an Internet connection, open the “Internet” -> “Connection” tab in the router interface. By default, the router is configured in Auto IP mode. For subsequent logins, the admin login is suitable, and the password will be the one that was set. If something doesn’t work out, the router settings are reset: a minute after turning it on, press Restore for 7 seconds.

Setting up the ASUS RT N12 router for Rostelecom

Rostelecom uses different cables - Ethernet, telephone or optical. In the latter cases, you need to know what the VPI and VCI parameters are equal to. And the WAN port of the router must be connected to the modem, where the VPI/VCI numbers are already set. There are no these parameters inside the router interface.

PPPoE

Go to the tab for setting up WAN. Select a protocol.

PPPoE Rostelecom

You need to specify the parameters:

1. NAT – “Yes”;
2. UPnP – “No” for starters. This is how the router works for everyone, and then you can fix it.
3. Automatic IP address – “Yes”;
4. DNS automatic – “Yes”;
5. The name and password are clear from the contract;
6. Time is better than “0” so that the router does not turn off!
7. MTU is better than 1450, and if it works, try 1492;
8. MRU – 1480, etc. (until 1492).

Let the rest be by default. Press the “Apply” button, and the connection appears on the “Network Map”.

The “VPN + DHCP” option can be disabled.

PPPoA

There is no PPPoA support on the RT-N12 router. By opening the “master”, you can make sure that this protocol is missing.

Internet setup

The same will happen with most other routers, including non-ASUS ones. It is not clear why Rostelecom needs PPPoA.

The efficiency of PPPoA compared to PPPoE will be 1% higher. But it’s easy to choose the MTU - always 1500.

Setting up the ASUS RT N12 router for Beeline and MTS

The easiest way would be to configure PPPoE. It is used by MTS. And the L2TP protocol “from Beeline” is now used by all ASUS routers. But with MTS the question is open, although it has the PPTP protocol, with which there are no problems either. We must remember that in addition to PPPoE, MAC cloning on the router is performed for all protocols! A PC with which the Internet was connected is connected to the router, and the “Clone MAC” button on the settings tab is easy to find.

PPPoE

On the “Internet” -> “Connection” tab, select the desired protocol.

There is no need to change anything - the router is almost configured:

1. NAT – “Yes”;
2. UPnP - “Yes”;
3. IP address, DNS auto – “Yes”;
4. Username and password – see agreement;
5. Time – “0”;
6. MTU, MRU – 1492;
7. “VPN + DHCP” – “Yes”.

The new settings are “applied” and the “Network” icon appears in the upper right corner. That is, the router connects to the Internet.

Most often, MTS uses the PPTP protocol (see below).

L2TP

The line vpn.internet.beeline.ru is the name of the server for Beeline subscribers. The router has a “VPN server” field for such names, which is located on the “Connection” tab. The L2TP protocol is selected on it.

Options:

1. NAT – “Yes”;
2. UPnP - “Yes”;
3. IP address, DNS auto – “Yes”;
4. Name – starts with 089, see contract;
5. Password - from the agreement;
6. VPN server - see the beginning of the chapter;
7. “VPN + DHCP” – “Yes”.

After cloning the MAC, click “Apply”. The router will establish a connection in 30-40 seconds.

You can try setting up the router for MTS. Server name – l2tp.e66.ru or l2tp.local (depending on the region).

PPTP

We are talking about the MTS provider. On the router, set the server name or one of the addresses:

1. 172.19.1.1;
2. 172.19.1.27;
3. 172.19.1.26;
4. 172.19.1.21.

Numbers may vary in different regions. And the name is vpn.local.

By setting the address in the settings, you make life easier for the router, but not for yourself. On the “Connection” tab, the setup is almost done - just set the protocol.

The main parameters for the router are login and password, server name or address, and nothing more. You need to clone the MAC, click “Apply” and wait 10 seconds.

Setting up a router for Dom.ru and TTK

The Dom.ru provider always checks the MAC address, even on the PPPoE protocol. And TTK does the same, but only using the PPTP protocol. This means that the WAN port of the router must receive a suitable MAC address. For this purpose, there is a “Clone” button.

PPPoE

For TTK and Dom.ru, the setting differs in “cloning”.

PPPoE TTK and Dom.ru

Only login and password are specified. All this is done on the “Connection” tab. The settings need to be “Apply”, and the router connects to the Internet.

Before applying the settings, clone the MAC (for Dom.ru).

L2TP

On the “Connection” tab, select “L2TP”.

1. Fill out the password and login field (271XXXX);
2. The router needs to know the server name (one);
3. Other settings are default.

Click “Apply”. After 30 seconds, the router will create a valid connection.

The names of TTK servers depend on the region: l2tp.svg.ttkdv.ru, l2tp.kms.ttkdv.ru, etc.

PPTP

Both TTK and Dom.ru like to issue a static IP for the PPTP protocol.

Setting up a router will be difficult. On the “Connection” tab, select PPTP, then install:

1. Your own IP, mask and gateway (see contract). Example for TTK: 10.10.3.200, 255…0, 10.10.3.1.
2. DNS (both);
3. Login and password;
4. Server IP address. Example: 10.10.3.1, 10.10.3.36 – only one.

Clone the MAC, click “Apply”.

The contract contains 8 parameters! Or 7 if the server and gateway are the same.

How to set up WiFi on the ASUS RT N12 router?

You can make changes on the start tab. Change SSID, set password.

"Network map"

The router also has a special tab with settings. Its name is “Wireless Network” -> “General”.

It is better to write down all data.

WiFi, shared

The settings themselves are set like this:

1. Name - any;
2. Hide – “No”;
3. Mode – N;
4. Width – “40” (300 Mbps) or “20” (150), but not “Auto”;
5. Router channels (I and II) – both “Auto”;
6. Method – WPA2 or WPA for older Android devices;
7. Encryption – AES or TPIK for WPA;
8. Key – 8 characters.

Click “Apply”. The router will reboot.

ASUS RT N12 IPTV setup

All settings are contained on the “Local Network” -> “IPTV” tab.

Select a name for the Internet connection. Then:

• Select a port for the set-top box (does not work with the Internet via ADSL);
• For a PC or Smart TV, you need to “Enable” the last two options.

Click “Apply”.

The router will not transmit traffic intended for the set-top box to the local area.

ASUS RT - N12 VPN server setup

The router can be a server.

VPN server

To configure, open the “VPN” tab:

1. “Server”, “Enable” – “Yes”;
2. “More details”: “LAN to VPN”, MPPE, IP pool;
3. “Server”: “+Add” and password with login.

After each step, click “Apply”. The router is designed for 10 subscribers.

When the router was a PPTP subscriber, it used MTU/MRU = 1450.

Local LAN and DHCP

On the “Local network” -> “IP address” tab, set the router address.

The DHCP Server tab contains other settings:

1. Router name in LAN;
2. Auto-issuing address pool (for PlayStation set X.9-X.254);
3. Gateway address, by default equal to the router address.

It is better not to turn off the server. The main thing is to click “Apply”.

IP values ​​in LAN and WAN networks must not overlap!

How to reset your router?

Two equivalent methods:

• Turn on the router, wait a minute, press Restore for 7 seconds;
• Select “Administration” -> “Manage Settings”, click “Restore”.

The router will forget the settings. Then it behaves like new.

The photo shows “method 2”.

If you have forgotten your password, do as stated above.

Protecting the settings of the Asus RT-N12 router

All settings are saved on the PC. You need the “Manage Settings” tab.

The latter is needed to download the settings to the router.

Update to the latest firmware

You can download the firmware on one page:

• B1: www.asus.com/ru/Networking/RTN12_ B1/HelpDesk_Download/;
• C1 and D1: change the letter B to C or D.

The ASUS instructions do not contain this information. Then on the router go to the “Update...” tab.

Firmware

Select a file and click “Submit”.

After pressing, you have to wait 5 minutes. And the router cannot be turned off!

Tests

WAN-LAN transmission speed is almost 95 Mbit/s.

Testing

1. WiFi 20 MHz – 21 and 16 (some have 52);
2. WiFi 40 MHz – 40 and 30 (90).

The router also coped with L2TP. The result was slightly higher than 70 Mbit/s.

The main advantage of RT-N12 is its affordable price.

Video about ASUS RT-N12: connection and setup

In this step-by-step instructions we will talk about how to configure the Asus RT-G32 Wi-Fi router. This wireless router is one of the most popular in our country and this is quite easy to explain - a high-quality router at a low price will always find its buyer. Well, now about how to configure the Asus RT-G32.

Preparing for setup and connecting the router

Before you begin the process of setting up the Asus RT-G32, I recommend checking the local network connection settings on the computer from which you will be setting it up. To do this, go to:

• Control Panel - Network and Sharing Center - Change adapter settings (for Windows 8 and Windows 7)
• Control Panel - Network Connections (for Windows XP)
• Right-click on the local network connection icon and select “Properties” from the drop-down menu
• In the list of components used by this connection, select “Internet Protocol Version 4 TCP/IPv4” and click “Properties” again
• Make sure that automatic acquisition of an IP address and DNS server is selected in the protocol properties. If this is not the case, then set it to receive parameters automatically. (If you are using a connection with a static IP address, before changing the parameters, write down somewhere the data that was specified in the protocol properties; they will be needed when setting up the router).

You can finish your preparations here. The next step is to connect the router to your computer. The connection diagram is very simple: connect the cable of your Internet provider to the WAN port on the Asus RT-G32, and connect one of the LAN ports to the corresponding port on the computer. Connect power to the router. The next point is to directly configure the Asus RT-G32.

An important point to pay attention to: after connecting the router, you should not start a VPN or PPPoE connection on your computer - i.e. If you previously launched the “Beeline” or “Rostelecom” icon to access the Internet, now you don’t need to do this - the Internet will “appear on its own” after we finish setting up. This is a fairly common mistake and a common reason for the question that “there is Internet on the computer, but the laptop connects via Wi-Fi but without access to the network.” Be careful.

Setting up connection on Asus RT-G32

The main point of setting up a router is to configure it to independently establish the desired type of connection (determined by your provider). So, let's begin.

All steps to configure the connection are performed on this page. In most cases, you just need to specify the “Connection Type”, which can be obtained from your provider, your Internet login and password, as well as the VPN server address for PPTP and L2TP connections. After that, save the settings and within 10-30 seconds you will have access to the Internet.

Below is a list of connection types for popular Russian Internet providers:

• Beeline - L2TP, VPN server address: tp.internet.beeline.ru
• Rostelecom - PPPoE
• TTK - PPPoE
• Stork - PPTP, VPN server address: server.avtograd.ru
• House ru - PPPoE
• Interzet - Static IP
• Online - Dynamic IP (Dynamic IP)

If you have completed setting up the Asus RT-G32 connection, and can already open Internet pages in separate browser tabs, then it’s time to move on to the wireless network settings.

Setting up a Wi-Fi access point on Asus RT-G32

You can connect to the router via Wi-Fi now. The only thing is that the name of the wireless network is faceless (Asus RT-G32) and there is no password set for it. A password is required in order to restrict access to your wireless network to unauthorized users: neighbors and even people sitting on a bench in the yard.

In order to configure Wi-Fi settings, on the router settings page, in the menu on the left, select “Wireless Network” and fill out all the required fields:

• SSID is the name of the access point, it is required so that you can identify your Wi-Fi network among all others. We use the Latin alphabet
• Authentication method: here the best option would be to specify WPA2-Personal, this will ensure the reliability of the protection of your wireless network
• The WPA preshared key is the Wi-Fi password. The password must consist of at least 8 English letters and numbers.

Save your settings.

That's all, the setup of the Asus RT-G32 router is complete and you can use the Internet from a laptop, tablet, smartphone and other Wi-Fi devices wirelessly. If you have any questions, write in the comments.

The Asus rt-n12 router is a fairly popular budget router that successfully implements all the functions necessary for a simple home network. The device is a portable WiFi access point with an information exchange speed of up to 150 Mbit, while the device supports the common 802.11n communication standard with an operating frequency of 2.4 GHz and is equipped with 4 LAN ports for “hard” connecting local computers.

Asus rt-n12 router: indicators and connectors

There are seven LED indicators on the front panel of the router:

1 - power indicator (Power);

• - off – power is not connected;
• - steady green light means the system can be used;
• - flashing quickly - process.

2 - WiFi wireless network status indicator;

• - “off” – no power (or the network is disconnected);
• - lights up solid green – the system is ready to exchange data via a wireless channel;
• - flashing – data is being transmitted (wireless network).

3 - indicator of connection to the Internet (WAN);

• - “off” – the Internet from the provider does not reach the router (there may be problems on the line or the service has been suspended for non-payment);
• - lights up steadily – active connection to the Internet;

4 - local network connection indicators (LAN ports 1-4);

• - “off” – the network cable is not connected (or there is no electricity);
• - lit – the corresponding port is busy actively connecting external devices to the network via an Ethernet cable;
• - blinking – data is being transmitted (via cable).

The rear panel is equipped with several connectors for an RJ 45 connector and switches:

• - one separately located WAN port (for connecting an Ethernet cable);
• - LAN1-LAN4 connectors (connecting network devices);
• - one round connector for connecting the power adapter;

Setting up an asus wirelessroute rt n12 router for Rostelecom

To configure the asus rt n 12 wifi router to connect to the Internet through providers such as Rostelecom and Dom ru, go to the router settings, find the “Advanced settings” tab and select “WAN” here.

At the top of the window, set the following Internet connection settings:

• - WAN type – you must select PPPoE from the drop-down list of connections;

Most Rostelecom subscribers use a PPPoE Internet connection. However, when setting up a router yourself, it is still recommended to clarify your type of Internet connection: this information can be found in the contract with the provider or clarified by calling the technical support of your Internet service provider.

• - the choice of port for setting up IPTV STB depends on which port you connected the set-top box to, but by default it is recommended to use the LAN4 connector;
• - enable UPnP – mark the option “Yes” with a marker;
• - get a WAN IP address automatically – select “Yes”;
• - enable PPPoE relaying – it is recommended to set the option “no” from the list.
• - in the username and password fields, enter the data received from the Rostelecom operator for connecting to the Internet.

Setting up an asus rt n12 router for Beeline and MTS

In general, the instructions for setting up an asus rt n12 router for MTS, Beeline and other “mobile” providers are similar to setting up a router for Rostelecom.

Here, in the “WAN” - “Internet Connection” tab, set the following values:

• - WAN connection type - set the L2TP item;

• - enable UPnP - set the marker to “Yes”;
• - obtain a WAN IP address automatically – check “Yes”;
• - connect to the DNS server automatically - select the “Yes” option;
• - L2TP server (VPN) - for beeline, enter this address tp.internet.beeline.ru.

“Username” and “password” in this case are issued to the subscriber by the Beeline service provider. Enter them. There is no need to change the remaining parameters - feel free to click the “Apply” button.

However, when setting up a router for MTS, there are certain subtleties.

In the WAN connection selection tab, you must set the connection mode to automatic. The login and password must be entered into the appropriate tab “Account and connection settings” - you receive them directly from the operator.

Set any IP address in the range from 192.168.10.2 to 192.168.10.254: the asus rt -n12 router simultaneously supports up to 10 clients. In the VPN server tab, you must enter your username and password. Save your changes.
In the network map section you can see the status of your VPN server, its IP address and connection status.

How to reset the settings of the asus rt n12 router?

Resetting user settings to factory settings is quite simple: for this you will need a regular needle or pin. On the back of the router, find the socket labeled “Reset”. Press and hold for 10 seconds. The device has been reset. Release the button.

How to set the password for asus rt n12?

Setting up an Asus router is a fairly simple process that does not cause any difficulties. However, to avoid problems, you still need to adhere to a certain algorithm. These instructions are universal for all routers from this manufacturer.

Knowing how to connect and configure this device gives the user a lot of options. He will be able not only to use the router, but also to enter all the necessary information. This could be changing personal data, setting up the Internet, or the ability to change settings.

Connection and configuration follow a simple scheme:

1. The user connects the router and then goes into the settings.
2. ASUS provides quick setup with special features.
3. If it is impossible to configure through the wizard, you can contact your WAN provider.
4. Enter personal data, set a password and change your name if necessary.
5. A change of the pin code.

To configure your router, you will need additional information. The user needs to know what type of connection the provider uses. If he uses PPTP or L2TP, information about personal data will be needed. To get all the necessary data, just contact your provider.

How to quickly connect and configure

Important! There are cases when the network is called differently. Sometimes it is password protected. This is an indicator that another user has already attempted to configure the ASUS. Therefore, it is recommended to reset all settings before proceeding. To do this, you need to press the button located on the back of the device and do not release it for 10-15 seconds. After this time, the indicators will go out and the router will turn on again.

Go to the control panel

After a successful connection, the user needs to open the browser that he usually uses.

1. In the address bar you need to write the following: 192.168.1.1. If everything is done correctly, the settings will open immediately. The “Welcome to ASUS” window will appear. At the bottom of the screen there will be a “Go” button.

   

2. After clicking, you will be prompted to write a password that will help protect your device settings. Experts advise paying close attention to the reliability of the data you enter; the password should be difficult to crack. It is better to write down all the necessary data on a piece of paper so that there are no problems with logging in in the future. Tips “Weak”, “Reliable”, “Very reliable” will pop up in the window. It is recommended to use a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters in your password, combined with numbers.

   

3. Clicking “Next” will bring up the “Wireless Network Settings” window. You must specify a unique network name; you can also use the SSID (wireless network identifier). It is important to fill out the “Network Key” field, in which you specify a strong password for the connection. It should not duplicate the password set for the router. This data will be needed to identify the user’s wireless network; it is also recommended to write it down on a piece of paper.

   

4. You will have to wait for some time, the router must reboot. Now a window will appear with the name that was specified earlier. You need to click on the “Connect” button and enter the password. It is recommended to check the box next to “Connect automatically”.

   

5. As soon as the connection is made, you need to return to “Quick Internet setup”, “Router settings” item. All necessary connection information will be displayed there. The user must click Next.

   

6. The “Sign In” window will appear. You need to specify the data that was previously specified in the settings. By clicking the “Login” button, the user will successfully complete the process of connecting and setting up the router.

   

On a note! Often the entire process runs smoothly when the ISP uses an automatic IP address. The device configures everything itself. But L2TP, PPPoE and PPTP involve a longer connection process. There is nothing complicated in the actions, but the user will need to enter a number of data manually.

Setting up a router for other connection types

In this case, after checking the connection, the “Select the type of WAN connection provided by your Internet service provider” window will appear. This indicator will need to be selected manually:

• PPPoE;
• PPTR;
• L2TP.

On this tab you can view the basic settings, WAN IP address settings, WAN DNS settings and change them if necessary. At this stage, the connection and configuration of the ASUS router ends.

Important Settings

These tasks are simple to perform, but no less important. To change the name of the wireless network, you need to:

Important! Once the user changes the password or name, they will need to connect their devices to Wi-Fi again. If problems occur, it is recommended to delete the network and perform all connection steps again.

An important point is to protect your router settings. If you need to enter a new password or replace an old one, you need to:

Now only these specified data will be used for login.

Video - Setting up the router (router) Asus RT-N12+

This step-by-step instruction is devoted to how to configure the Asus RT-N12 Wi-Fi router to work with providers:

• Beeline (L2TP)
• Rostelecom, Dom.ru (PPPoE).

The guide will include the following important setup steps: correctly connecting the router, how to enter the Asus RT-N12 settings, setting up an Internet connection, setting up wireless network security (Wi-Fi password).

How to connect Asus RT-N12

Despite the fact that this seems obvious, I start all the instructions with exactly how to connect the router correctly, because even here there are errors due to which the Wi-Fi connection subsequently does not work.

There are five ports on the back of your router - four LAN ports and one WAN (Internet) port. It is to the last one, which differs from the other four ports, that you should connect the cable of your Internet provider - Beeline, Rostelecom or any other.

In addition, I recommend setting up a wireless router from a computer or laptop that has a wired connection to it, for which you should connect one of the LAN ports on the router to the same port on the PC’s network card.

And the last point: it is advisable to check the connection settings in Windows () - you can skip this step now, but if you are unable to access the router settings, return to it first.

Don't forget to plug the device into a power outlet. And also, for all subsequent steps, turn off the Internet on your computer (if you have a “High-Speed ​​Connection” or “Beeline” running on the PC itself), only the local network connection should be active.

How to enter the router settings

On the back of the Asus RT-N12 (as well as on other routers) there is information about the address, login (username) and password - they must be used to enter the settings web interface. In order to log in, launch your browser and enter the specified address in the address bar; for Asus routers it is 192.168.1.1.

When you are asked to enter your username and password, enter admin for both (provided that you did not change them during previous attempts to set everything up).

Now attention: If this is the first time you have come here after purchasing or if you have just reset the router, automatic setup will begin - you will need to click “Next” and fill out the fields provided.

You will be asked to change the password to enter the “admin panel” of the router (the one that was admin), after which an attempt will be made to determine the type of connection and, if it is determined, you will be asked to enter your Internet login and password, and then set the Wi-Fi name Fi networks and Wi-Fi password.

I won't describe the automatic setup. If it is successful (and this may be the case for Rostelecom and Dom.ru), then you do not need my instructions - as a result, you will be taken to the main page for manual settings of the Asus RT-N12, and the Internet will work. If after this the Internet does not work, then next I will tell you how to configure everything manually.

Setting up a Beeline connection

In order to set up Beeline Internet on the Asus RT-N12, on the main settings page, click “Internet” on the left, and on the page that opens, fill in the parameters of your connection as follows:

• WAN connection type - L2TP
• Username - your Beeline login
• VPN server - tp.internet.beeline.ru

And save the settings. If you entered everything correctly, and the Beeline connection on your computer is disconnected (this is necessary), in half a minute the router will establish a connection to the Internet and in a separate browser tab you will be able to open any sites, and phones, tablets and laptops connected via Wi-Fi will also have access to the Internet.

You can proceed to setting up your wireless Wi-Fi network if you want to change something in its settings (below in this manual).

Setting up a connection to Rostelecom, Dom.ru (PPPoE)

To set up Rostelecom or Dom.ru Internet on this router, click “Internet” in the menu on the left, then fill out the suggested fields as follows:

• WAN connection type - PPPoE
• Obtain an IP address automatically - Yes
• Connect to DNS server automatically - Yes
• Username - your Rostelecom or Dom.ru login (for the Internet)
• Password - your password for the Internet.

There is no need to change any other parameters. Save the settings and, if everything was done correctly, then after a short time the Internet will be connected to the router, and you will be able to open the site and everything else from this computer, as well as from other devices connected to the router (in this case, the High-speed connection on the computer must be disabled ).

If required, also configure the wireless network settings - its name and password.

Configuring Wi-Fi wireless network settings

To set up Wi-Fi, select “Wireless Network” in the menu on the left, and then set the necessary parameters.
