Installation and setup of routers and switches

Is it for personal or business use?

Personally, there is basically no setup.

In the case of enterprises, it depends on how you allocate your intranet, how you connect, what type of equipment you have, and so on.

It's hard to say that.

1. Insert the network cable from the modem into the WAN port of the main router and set the network. The first, second, and third floors are directly connected to the network wall box on the wall using a network cable. The router on each floor is configured like the living room, which can be connected to wired as much as possible, and other digital network equipment is wireless.

2. Network settings: first set the main router, after connecting the power supply, press the above reset button for about 10 seconds, and the above indicator light flashes all, which means that the reset is successful. This wired gigabit router also has access to dual-channel broadband.

3. Dial up or fix IP Internet settings, open the browser: enter in the address bar, and first create your own user password.

4. Choose the way to go online, generally PPPoE dial-up networking, or automatic acquisition, or static IP.

The PPPoE number is, broadband & fiber, with account number and password.

The automatic acquisition is: DHCP, which is usually a network cable directly down from the switch.

Static IP address refers to the fixed IP address that is directly given to users by broadband vendors.

5. After the configuration is completed, remember to confirm whether the router has DHCP service turned on, which is generally turned on by default.

Introduction

The first thing to do is to make sure that the router's function is healthy, and you need to see the difference between a WAN and a LAN.

Most of the ordinary households and small businesses on the market are 1*wan+4*lan, that is, an external network interface (WAN) plus four LAN interfaces.

The router itself has the function of a switch, and only needs to connect the computer to the LAN interface, then the computer connected to the LAN port realizes the basic steps of using the router as a switch.

Method steps.

Control panel. Network connection.

Local connection. Right-click on the local connection and select Properties.

Internet Protocol version 4

Click and select Properties below.

Set the IP address.

Precautions

You only need to set the IP addresses of multiple computers to be similar to the first three segments in the consent segment, which is the same as in the same segment (the fourth segment is in the range of 0-255, as long as it is not repeated), and the subnet mask should be filled in if there are no special requirements. The default gateway can fill in the same IP address as your own IP address for empty work, and the computers in the LAN can communicate after confirmation.

1. First of all, log in to the router management interface, enter [Wireless Settings] - Basic Settings], modify the SSID, and click Save.

2. After that, in [Network Parameters] - LAN Port Settings], modify the IP address, which is different from the main router, and then click Save.

3. In the pop-up restart dialog box, click OK and wait for the restart to complete. This is important.

4. Finally, according to the application topology diagram, connect the LAN port of the TL-WR841N (i.e., interface 1 and 4) to the LAN port of the front-end router. The method is simple.
