The correct configuration of the modem "Rostelecom": ADSL, DSL, D-Lnik, TP-Link

"Rostelecom" in the Russian market of services in the field of communications is one of the leading providers. Not surprisingly, many users prefer his services. In addition, the company together with the tariff package also provides the basic equipment necessary to connect to the Internet. But many people try to set access parameters themselves, which sometimes causes some difficulties. Meanwhile, if you understand, there should not be any special difficulties. Next, we propose to consider the configuration of the modem of "Rostelecom" of any type. This manual is useful not only for the equipment that is supplied directly by the company, but also for any other similar models.

Modem Market Overview

Before setting up the modem of Rostelecom will be considered directly, it is necessary to stop just on the equipment that will be used to organize the home or office of connecting to the Internet.

What can I use at the moment? Among the most popular options can be identified several main groups of devices:

• Modems-routers (DSL / ADSL);
• Ethernet modems;
• USB modems;
• 3G modems.

The first group is the most popular and suitable for installation at home or in offices. The approximate cost of the simplest model is about 800 rubles, but models higher than the rank will cost about 1500 rubles.

The second category is also quite popular, but mainly because of its low cost (about 750 rubles).

USB-routers have not received special distribution, although they are quite cheap. Their main problem is that very often there are situations with the "leakage" of drivers. 3G-devices are mainly used in cases of movement around the city with a laptop.

Which model should I prefer?

What of it all to choose for installation of the house? It seems that the best option is still the use of modems that combine the capabilities of the router (for access via Wi-Fi) DSL or ADSL-type.

Among the most commonly used devices can be identified models D-Link, TP-Link, "Intercross", Zyxel, etc. About the settings of some of them will be discussed later.

General rules for connecting ADSL modems

As follows from the basic understanding of the technology of ADSL, the modem for the organization of Internet access uses a regular telephone line.

When you connect a modem to it, the best option is to install a special splitter (splitter), which allows you to simultaneously access the Internet, and make phone calls. In other words, the telephone line is not blocked, unlike a direct connection.

Connection of all devices corresponds to the following scheme: computer - modem - splitter - telephone line. Actually, even a child will understand this, especially since the splitter has two sockets for different cables, so that it's simply impossible to confuse something.

Driver Installation Issues

After the entire circuit is assembled and the power is connected, you need to install a special management software called drivers (so that the operating system installed on the computer could initialize the device, and it in turn worked without failures).

Standard models, as a rule, are recognized by the system automatically, and installation of the drivers does not cause questions. If something went wrong, you can always use a special disk that should be bundled with the modem. If you purchase a modem not from the provider or if there is no disk, you can download the necessary drivers directly on the official website.

When the whole procedure is completed and the device becomes fully operational, direct configuration of the modem "Rostelecom" follows. The first step is to access the web interface of the device itself.

Enabling and accessing the web interface

Typically, for all devices in the address bar of any computer installed on the computer, a combination of 192.168.1.1 is entered. Setting up the modem "Rostelecom" in the first stages implies setting the correct parameters for accessing the Internet. If Wi-Fi is supported, you will also need to install these options.

The username and password that will be requested when trying to access is admin. If for some reason the modem does not accept the input data, reset all parameters by pressing the Reset button on the back of the modem and reenter the information.

To configure any modem in the simplest case, if you do not need manual intervention, you can use the disk that comes with the device, which has a specialized utility in the form of a kind of "Hardware Configuration Wizard". After its start, you just need to follow the installer's instructions.

Setting up a DSL modem from Rostelecom or an ADSL device

But suppose that the user does not have a disk (lost, become unusable). What to do in this case? Despair is not worth it, because setting up any type of equipment is quite simple.

So, for "Rostelecom" configuration of the D-Link modem (we take simply as an example) begins with setting the connection type. It is desirable to set the value of this parameter on PPPoE and not to use the "Bridge" scheme, which can block access to the Network when the main terminal is switched off.

Then manually set the parameters VPI and VCI, which must match the selected region of the user's location (for Moscow, this value is 0 and 35). These parameters should be in the contract, but they can be found in the technical support service, even by simply calling (although almost always they are installed automatically).

Next, you need to enter the registered user name (PPP), specify the login, enter and confirm the password, select the service name, check the Keep Alive checkbox and specify the values for the LCP interval and LCP dips (15 and 2, respectively).

Finally, at the very bottom, check the IGMP field and save the changes. After exiting the interface of the modem, you can use the Internet even without rebooting the operating system, but with the required reboot of the modem (just click on the corresponding button).

Configuring the TP-Link modem of Rostelecom

With the devices of this series, the situation is much simpler. The fact is that the devices themselves already have, so to speak, a wired utility called Quick Start.

In fact, the configuration of the TP-Link modem of Rostelecom is reduced to just selecting a connection mode (PPPoE), setting the time zone and entering a login with a password. In principle, what is not the same "Setup Wizard"?

Nuances of setting parameters "Intercross"

The settings for the "Intercross" modem ("Rostelecom") differ slightly from those described above.

When you log in to the web interface, you must first select the "Wizard" launch, the VCI default value is set to 35, leave unchanged, and enter the value for the VPI parameter to 8.

Further, in the connection type, PPPoE is set, and Obtain an IP address automatically and NAT (Enable NAT) are indicated. The address field is left blank. After that, the user name and password are entered.

In the following steps, you can not change anything, and after viewing the information in the final step, you just need to save the settings.

Wi-Fi options

Finally, let's see what the configuration of the WiFi modem "Rostelecom" is. In fact, such a modem can be used as the most common router for distributing a wireless signal.

There is nothing particularly complicated here either. Setting up the modem of "Rostelecom" in this case involves entering the following values and parameters:

• Authentication Type - WPAPSK.
• Encryption - AES.
• SSID is an arbitrary name for the connection.
• Pre-shared Key - own password for accessing the Wi-Fi connection.

After all the settings have been completed, go to the Maintenance tab and select the romfile.cfg file with the Browse button with automatic add-on settings. On this, we can assume that the configuration is complete.

Summary results

As a certain result it remains to say that the configuration of the modem of "Rostelecom" of any known type is not particularly complicated. The main thing is to choose the right parameters, which were presented in the material above.

As for the choice of equipment, the ADSL-device when using the connection from the provider "Rostelecom" is the best option, in comparison with the same Ethernet or USB-devices, which are sufficiently limited in their capabilities.

Settings 3G modems are not considered, because still the main preference at home or in the office, users give modems that combine the functions of routers with wireless communication. Well, in terms of settings, if you advise something the simplest, it is best to use the disk with the "Master", so as not to deal with unnecessary things. But if this is not possible, you can safely use the instructions given above.
