If you want to customize by yourself Wi-Fi router, change password, name of your wireless network, or other settings, then in any case, you will first need to go to the settings of the router. To the control panel, where you can set the desired parameters. I want to say right away that this is not at all difficult. It doesn't matter which router model you have and which manufacturer (Tp-Link, D-Link, Asus, Linksys, Zyxel, etc.), according to this instruction you will be able to enter the control panel. The principle of operation of all routers is practically the same, which means that we can get access to the settings according to the same instructions. Yes, there are some nuances, we will definitely consider them.
A router is a self-contained device that runs on its own software. And access to it can only be puffed over a network cable (In most cases)... Many people have a question, what kind of disk comes with a router, driver? No, there are no drivers. For a router, no drivers are needed at all. As a rule, there is a special utility on the disk that can be used to quick setup router. But, I would advise you to configure the router through the settings, which can be accessed through the browser. And as I wrote above, this is very easy to do.
We will consider two methods: access to the control panel via a network cable, from a computer or laptop, and access to settings via Wi-Fi from mobile devices (or also from a computer)... I advise you to use a network cable and computer for this business. But, if this is not possible, then you can change some settings, or even completely configure the router from a phone, tablet, or laptop via Wi-Fi. If you want to update the firmware, then you cannot do this via Wi-Fi.
How to enter the router settings from a computer
I saw many articles where they describe some difficult steps that need to be performed from the very beginning (checking network settings, getting the IP address of the router through the command line)... You don't need to do this, at least not yet. First you need to try to go to the settings. If it does not work, then we will already look possible reasons... Why bother with unnecessary nonsense.
We connect the computer to the router
We take a network cable, which usually comes with a router (you can use your own cable) and plug one end into the network connector of your desktop computer or laptop. Photo for clarity:
We connect the other end of the network cable to the router in one of 4 (usually) LAN connectors. They are yellow. For example:
Typically, the settings can be accessed at, or. The address of your specific router and the login with the password, which will be needed further, can be viewed on the router itself. Usually, they are written on the bottom of the sticker. The address of the type can also be specified there. For example:
The router must be turned on. Next, open any browser on your computer. You can even Internet Explorer, I have Opera. To enter the settings, we need to write the IP address of the router in the address bar of the browser 192.168.1.1 , or 192.168.0.1 , and go through it by pressing the button Enter... A window will appear asking for a username and password. Again, the default is usually admin and admin... You can also see this information from the bottom of the device.
If you changed the username and password to enter the settings (not to be confused with a password for a Wi-Fi network), then you need to specify them. And if you forget them, then you have to do (article on the example of Tp-Link), and re-configure it.
If you cannot find the IP address, username and password of your router, then try to go first to 192.168.1.1, and then to 192.168.0.1. Try login admin, as well as password. Also, try to leave the password field blank, or specify 1234.
Set the required parameters and press the button Login to the system, or simply entrance, never mind. The window itself may look different for you, this is also not important.
If all is well, then you will see the settings for your router.
If not, now we will try to find out what the problem might be. Scroll down the page.
We go to the control panel via Wi-Fi: from a phone, tablet, laptop
If, for example, you do not have a network cable, or you do not have a single computer at hand, but you need to go to the router's settings, then you can use a Wi-Fi connection for this.
One important point: when connecting via Wi-Fi, and not via a network cable, you can make some settings in the same way, or even set up a new router. But, in any case, do not update software your router. By doing this, you can simply break it. Flash only when connected via cable. Instructions for and for.
In principle, we do everything in the same way as I described above, starting from the moment when we start the browser, go to the IP address of the router, etc. The only difference is that we connect to Wi-Fi networks the router that we need to configure, not over the cable. We take our phone, laptop, or tablet, and connect it to Wi-Fi (if not connected)... If, for example, you want to connect to a new router, that is, it will have a standard name and will be unprotected.
I will show you using the example of entering the control panel from the tablet. In the same way as on a computer, open any browser and go to the IP of your router (192.168.0.1, or 192.168.1.1)... We indicate the login information.
Settings should open.
That's all, as you can see, everything is very simple. If something doesn't work out, ask questions in the comments.
Doesn't go into settings: possible causes and solutions
I wrote in more detail about this problem in the article. But, since the problem when the router settings do not open and it is impossible to go to the address 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.1.1 is very popular, I think that this information will definitely not be superfluous. Let's take a look at the most common problems:
When you try to go to the IP address 192.168.0.1, or 192.168.1.1, you receive a page not access error, or the page could not be opened.
This means that the computer cannot connect to the router. It doesn't matter if it's cable or Wi-Fi. First of all, check if there is a connection. Look at the notification bar (in the lower right corner), to the connection status. If you are connected by cable, then a computer should be drawn there, it may be with a yellow icon, this is normal. If you connect via Wi-Fi, then there should be just a white network (network level). It can also have a yellow exclamation mark.
Solutions:
- You need to check the network settings on your computer. Perhaps you have there in the settings local network (when connected by cable), or wireless (Wi-Fi connection), some static IP settings are specified, or other parameters. It is necessary to set the automatic obtaining of IP and DNS. I already wrote about this in detail in the article.
- If the connection is by cable, then you should try to replace it. More than once I have met cases when the problem was in the cable. Or connect via Wi-Fi.
- If you have Wi-Fi on your computer, and you are connected via cable, then you need to completely turn off Wi-Fi. And vice versa, when connecting via a wireless network, the cable is disconnected.
- If all else fails, do it, perhaps it contains some non-standard connection settings.
- Also, it is not necessary to exclude the breakdown of the router itself. Sometimes it happens.
Invalid username / password. Or nothing happens after clicking the Login button.
There may be such a problem. We went to the address, a window appeared with a request for data, you specified them, but an error appears that the login data is incorrect, or the page simply reloads.
Solutions:
- Try different variants of the login / password pair. Admin and admin, try leaving both blank, or just the password. Will try to specify the password 1234.
- Try using a different browser.
- Most likely you will have to reset the router settings (I gave the link above).
Afterword
There are many manufacturers, and even more models of different routers. And almost everyone has their own nuances regarding the settings. But, the very process of entering the control panel is almost the same for everyone. Hope this tutorial helped you get into the settings of your router. If you have any problems, write in the comments, we will figure it out together.
Managing a router means setting up a device. A router is a rather complex network equipment with a huge functionality, and depending on the operating conditions, one or another control is required.
Configuring the router requires certain knowledge, moreover, before starting the configuration, you need to connect it to the computer and go to those same settings.
If you do not take into account the "exotic" methods (for example, via a telnet terminal), then there are only two main configuration methods:
- Or through a special assistant program;
- Or through the built-in web interface of the router.
The first method is more convenient for inexperienced users, since it is designed for practically automatic tuning with minimal human participation, while the second method provides more fine tuning.
Let's start by connecting to a computer.
Connecting the router to your computer
Any router is equipped with a LAN interface (port) designed for wired connection to a computer. Also, any computer has an Ethernet port for the same purpose. We take the network wire patch court, which usually come with a router, and combine the router with a computer through these ports.
Preparing the router for settings
You can also establish a connection via a wireless Wi-Fi network, but not all routers and computers have Wi-Fi modules, moreover, the wireless network is less reliable and connection breaks are possible at the most inopportune moment.
Front panel of the router
After turning on the router, you need to pay attention to its indicator lamps, usually located on the front panel. Firstly, to make sure that the router is working (suddenly the power supply is burnt out), and secondly, to make sure that the firmware is fully loaded into it RAM and the router is ready to go.
Front panel of the router
Further actions depend on how you intend to configure the router - using the assistant software, or independently via the web interface.
Let's look at the first option first.
Setting up specialized software
Assistant programs are located on CDs that come with the router. Also, if you have Internet access, you can download it from the manufacturer's official website.
It should be noted right away that not all manufacturers develop such programs!
After installing the program, launch it using the shortcut that appears on the desktop. As a rule, the welcome window with the manufacturer's logo opens first, in which you need to start the start of configuring the router.
The initial window of the customizer
Further steps depend on the manufacturer, but it all comes down to the choice of the provider, you need to enter the passwords and logins specified in the agreement with the provider. At the rest of the steps, you just read the issued messages and agree with them by clicking "Next" or "Ok".
Configuration via the web interface
But it is much preferable, and more professional, setting through the web interface of the router. But to enter the settings menu in this way, you first need to authorize the user, since the router will simply not allow uninvited guests into its settings.
Label under the bottom of the router
The IP-address of the router is also recognized there.
User authorization
So, we connected the router to the computer with a patch cord, and turned it on. Next, on the computer, open InternetExplorer, in which we register the network address of the router.
Entering the router settings
Settings menu structure
With very few exceptions, the menu structure is of the same type - either on the left or at the top there is a tree of settings items. Many manufacturers also provide help and tips for the selected menu item on the right side of the window. In the center of the window, direct settings are made, that is, control of the router.
Settings menu
It is very good if the menu is in Russian. If it is originally in English, then we are looking for a line like "Language", since the menu can be multilingual, and English is set simply by default. We change it to Russian.
Wi-Fi setup
That's all, then it remains only to carefully read the names of the menu items and make settings. For example, we need to configure a Wi-Fi wireless network. We look at the names of the menu, we need "Wi-Fi", "Wireless", "Wireless network" or something like that.
Consider an example of setting up on a router from Netgear
Wi-Fi setup
Go to the "Settings" menu, then select the "Wireless network settings" submenu. The settings window will open, in which we indicate the name of our wireless network, select the channel, mode, transmission speed. If you wish, you can set a password to connect to the network, or leave the entrance free.
The rest of the router is configured in the same way, some of which can be found in the video tutorial:
Hello, dear readers and guests of the site "Notes of an Electrician".
In my previous publications, I introduced you to the touchscreen, controlled both manually and from the remote control.
But today I would like to draw your attention to the Sonoff Basic version of the relay (switch) with the ability to control directly from mobile phone via Wi-Fi or the Internet.
The Sonoff Basic relay is a small-sized device (88x38x23 mm) that can be easily placed behind the ceiling space, in a building niche, or in the bowl of a chandelier or lamp.
Its cost at the time of publication of the article is a little less than 300 rubles. As you understand, this is quite acceptable money, moreover, for such a modern device. I got it on the well-known Aliexpress trading platform (the link will be at the end of the article).
The kit included two protective covers with mounting screws, but, unfortunately, there were no instructions.
The Sonoff relay has the following specifications, some of which are displayed directly on its body:
- maximum controlled load current 10 (A)
- supply voltage from 90 (V) to 250 (V)
- standard wireless 802.11 b / g / n
- WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK security protocol
- operating temperature from 0 ° С to 40 ° С
- weight about 50 g
Sonoff Basic relay capabilities:
- Wi-Fi load control
- load control over the Internet
- load control by a set timer, both with direct and countdown
- load control from multiple mobile phones
These are the capabilities of the Sonoff relay. It can be safely used in smart home systems and for various other needs and requirements.
First, I will tell you how to connect Sonoff, and then we will check all its declared control methods in practice.
So let's go.
Installing and connecting the Sonoff relay
To operate the Sonoff relay, it needs a supply voltage of 220 (V), which means that it can be easily installed in a convenient place for you, for example, in a chandelier bowl or directly under a stretch ceiling, as well as directly in a junction box, if there is enough space.
For fixing the relay to the surface, it has two mounting holes.
The Sonoff relay connection diagram is very simple.
On the terminals (L) and (N) from the side (Input-Input), respectively, the phase and zero of the supply voltage 220 (V) are connected. Naturally, when connecting, do not forget about.
Please note that the wires to be connected must have a cross-section of no more than 1.5 sq. Mm. But I still tried to connect conductors with a cross section of 2.5 sq.mm. As a result, a rigid (single-wire) wire can still be connected without problems, but a flexible (multi-wire) wire is already inserted into the terminal with great difficulty, so it did not even have to be flattened and deformed a lot.
For example, I used a PVS brand power cable, which just has a cross-section of 2.5 sq. Mm. At the other end of the cable there is a plug, which I will later connect to any outlet with a voltage of 220 (V).
On the terminals (L) and (N) from the side (Output-Output), respectively, the phase and zero of the load are connected.
For the convenience of connecting the load, I connected a socket to the relay output.
By the way, terminal covers not only have a protective function, but also play the role of clamps for supply wires or cables.
This is how everything turns out beautifully and neatly. The Sonoff relay is connected.
As a load, I connected an LED lamp, about in one of my articles.
Here is a simple example of a Sonoff relay connection diagram for a group of luminaires.
By the way, it is not necessary to use only a lamp or a group of lamps as a load. You can safely connect any other load to the output terminals that does not exceed the rated current of 10 (A). And if you still need to control a load with a current value above 10 (A), then it can be connected to a contactor, and with the help of a relay, you can already control the coil of this contactor.
In this regard, it can be added that when using a contactor, it is possible to control at least a single-phase load, at least three-phase, at least with an alternating current, at least a constant one.
It will look something like this.
Thus, the scope of application of Sonoff relays is very wide and varied. It can be controlled by at least one light bulb, at least by a powerful single-phase electric heater, at least by a three-phase electric motor, etc. It all depends only on your needs and requirements.
And now we will consider all the possibilities of controlling the Sonoff relay in more detail.
I will not open the relay and watch its device, there is already plenty of information on this on the Internet - look at the corresponding resources on electronics. And judging by the reviews, the performance of the relay is quite decent. By the way, who is interested to know, the relay is assembled on the basis of the famous Chinese microcontroller ESP8266.
Load control via phone over Wi-Fi
Before I talk about controlling the relay via Wi-Fi, I will say that it can be controlled manually. For this, there is a small recessed black button on its body. So, with one short press of it, the relay turns on, and when it is pressed again, respectively, it turns off. Moreover, for this it is not necessary that the relay be connected to a Wi-Fi network - it will also be controlled in Offline mode.
But in addition to this, the button also carries other functionality, which I will discuss below.
To implement the ability to control the load via Wi-Fi and the Internet, you must install on the phone mobile app eWeLink. This application can be found for both Android and iOS devices. To facilitate the search for the application, you can use the necessary QR codes on the package.
For devices with Android app eWeLink can be downloaded for free from Google play and install it on your phone without any problems. The program interface supports Russian.
For iOS devices, this app is available in App Store... I have not tried to download and install this application on an iPhone or iPAD, so whoever tried this application on iOS devices, please write down the results in the comments.
After installing the eWeLink application, you will need to register immediately, indicating the country and your email address. In this case, the phone must be connected to the Internet.
After that, a verification code will be sent to the mail (valid for 30 minutes), which must be entered in the corresponding line "Email code". On the same page, you must enter a password to enter your future account (at least 8 characters).
By the way, letters reach the mail services Mail.ru and Mail.yandex.ru (Yandex-mail) without any problems. But as far as I am aware, letters with a verification code do not always reach the Gmail.ru (Google-mail) mail service, so take this into account.
Then it is necessary to pair the relay and the router by holding (for 5 seconds) the same button on the switch body, after which the green LED on the relay will blink. We put a tick on the first connection mode and click "Next".
Now you need to select our Wi-Fi network from the list and enter the password from it. In order not to enter the password each time, you can check the "Remember password" checkbox. Click "Next", after which the search for our device and its registration will begin (in time it took me no more than 2-3 minutes).
After successful pairing, the relay automatically transmits data to the Chinese cloud (Amazon AWS or Coolkit), which makes it possible to control it over the Internet. But I will return to this a little later.
As you can see, our relay is now displayed in the list of all devices (so far it is the only one in the list, but others will appear very soon).
When the relay is online, the green LED on its housing is always lit. As soon as the LED starts blinking, then the connection with the router or the Internet is lost. It is precisely by this indicator that it is convenient to determine whether the relay is in the network (Online) or not (Offline).
While I was testing this device, I did not notice any problems with losing the network. The device is always online and responds stably to control commands.
Now you can try to turn on the relay through the phone. To do this, click on "Relay 1". Immediately a red inscription appeared that it was necessary to update the eWeLink application, although the update was not displayed on Google Play.
We go into the device settings (three dots in the right corner) and see that the application has the current version 1.5.2, and more a new version 1.5.5. Click on the "Download" icon and the application update begins. After the update, the red inscription disappears, and in the settings we can see a new one current version 1.5.5.
Remember !!! The main condition for the operation of the relay is the availability of Internet access.
If the Internet access is suddenly lost, then the green LED on the relay housing will start blinking, and in the application on its tab the Offline mode will be displayed, i.e. not available for control.
So, to turn on our "Relay 1", you need to enter it and click on the round virtual button in the center of the screen. Moreover, you can control the relay from the general list of all devices by clicking on the corresponding small button (on the left). In general, as you like it.
When the relay is off, the button is white with a fill around it gray background... When the relay is on, the button changes its color to green, and the background around it turns blue.
In addition to banal control principles, you can set the time for switching on or off the relay by timer by setting the appropriate date and time for its control.
Moreover, it was surprising that the relay operates according to a set timer even when it is offline (Offline), which means that all set timer programs are stored directly in the relay memory.
Click on the "Add timer" button and go to the timer settings page. Each timer is configurable to either turn on the relay or turn it off. There are two options for setting the timer:
- one-time (one-time operation at a specified date and time)
- repeated (periodic triggering at a specified date and time, including specifying specific days of the week)
In addition to the countdown timer, there is a countdown timer. Very useful functionality for specific purposes. It is configured similarly to a direct timer, only with the possibility of a single actuation.
In addition to forward and backward timers, there is a cyclic timer in the Settings tab (three dots in the right corner).
In this tab, you can configure various options for the relay actuation cycles. I will not talk about this in detail, tk. everything is simple and intuitive here.
The total number of configured timers, including the cyclic timer, can be no more than 8. And be careful, because when the time of different timers overlaps each other, none of them can work !!!
Also, in the settings, you can specify in which position the relay will remain if the 220 (V) power is suddenly disconnected from it. There are three options here. By setting the appropriate checkboxes, you can choose that when the 220 (V) power supply reappears, the relay can either turn on, or turn off, or remain in its original state.
By the way, this is a very handy feature. Just remember the nuance that, when the 220 (V) power supply disappears and reappears, for some reason it always turns on, and even when it is in the off state. And imagine that you are not at home, the voltage in the network "blinked" a little and the controller turned on the chandelier on its own. This incident will not happen here, because in this case, everything can be customized to suit your needs.
In addition to the above, all devices connected to you in the eWeLink application can be grouped together and combined in various scenarios.
Is it possible to control the relay from several phones at once?
Can! Naturally, in this case, the eWeLink application must be installed on each phone.
There are two options here. The first option is to enter the eWeLink application under the same name and password from different phones and control the relay.
True, if you enter the application on one phone, and then at the same time enter the application under the same username and password, but on another phone, then an error will occur on the first phone and the application is automatically exited. In this case, the second phone remains in the application and you can use it to control devices.
At the same time, I would like to note that when the relay is controlled from one phone, its status is displayed almost instantly on all phones that are connected to it.
Load management over the Internet
In addition to controlling the relay via a phone via a Wi-Fi network, it can also be controlled via the Internet from anywhere in your location, i.e. absolutely from anywhere in the world where there is Internet access.
So, to control the circuit breaker via the Internet, you need to enter the same eWeLink application under your name and password that you specified during registration. And then everything is by analogy. The same application, the same settings, the same control buttons, etc., the only difference is that you are not at home in the range of your Wi-Fi network, but at a distance of hundreds and thousands of kilometers from home.
A little about the cloud.
However, you will not be able to control the relay without the Internet. control goes not through a local network, but through the Internet, i.e. the same Chinese cloud that I mentioned above. And it doesn't matter if the control is via Wi-Fi or the Internet, the control always goes through the cloud, and access to the cloud requires Internet access.
In this regard, various craftsmen have already figured out how to untie this device from the Chinese cloud or make control only through a local home network. Who cares, then this information can be found on certain resources.
By the way, if you need a similar device, but with the additional function of radio control from the remote control, you can order the Sonoff RF relay.
If you want to control the load where there is no Internet at all, then you can use the Sonoff G1 relay (GSM / GPRS with SIM card support). Also, this manufacturer has available relays with temperature and humidity sensors Sonoff ТН10 / ТН16 and two-channel (for controlling two independent loads) Sonoff Dual relays.
In general, the manufacturer Sonoff has many different devices, I will tell you about some of the most interesting and significant ones on the pages of my site, so subscribe to the newsletter so as not to miss interesting releases.

And already by tradition, a video based on the materials of the article, where you can more clearly see the configuration and control of the Sonoff relay:
The century of progress and high technologies is already knocking on every home. Today, every home has a computer, as well as a bunch of mobile devices: tablets, smartphones, netbooks, transformers (netbooks with a removable touch screen or tablets with docking stations) and other devices. It is not surprising that already now many have the ability to control various devices through. From lighting to other household electrical appliances. Such installations are called "Smart House" and were known already in the early 2000s, but only nowadays have spread among ordinary users, when wireless technologies have become available to a wide mass of users.
Some general information
It should be noted right away that to control light, TV, refrigerator, air conditioner, microwave oven or any other electrical appliance, we need a special station or relay. They are different types, with different features and functions. For example, the cheapest devices are made in the form of an outlet with a remote control. remote control... That is, you plug the "Wireless Socket" into a regular outlet (to connect to the power supply). IN wireless device turn on the compressor for the pond (for example, sunsun aco overview, etc.), and using the remote control you can turn it off or on. Everything is very easy and very simple!
But there are more expensive and advanced devices that allow you to control household appliances through special applications on tablets and smartphones. In this case, the connection can occur both in the local network and remotely via the Internet.
As you understand, it is simply impossible to describe everything in one article, so we will analyze only two types of Smart Home devices. Controlling computer functions via Android via Bluetooth.
"Wireless" socket
The word "wireless" here means that you can connect to it via Wi-Fi and regulate its operation. Let's consider how such gadgets work, using the example of a device from the Edup company. This is a Chinese company, but it produces fairly high quality products.
How to use such an outlet?
- We connect the device to the power supply network (to a regular outlet).
- There is a button on top of the device. Press and hold it until the Wi-Fi indicator starts flashing (if you hold the button, but another icon is constantly flashing, then release the button and press briefly again). Thus, we switched the device to the mode of searching for Wi-Fi networks in order to bind to the router.
Now we turn to the tablet or smartphone (with the help of which the remote control). In our case, the app is called Edup Wi-Fi. After installing the application on your tablet, you will have to register.
After that, go to the application using your username. But now there will not be a single device in it: the fact is that you need to add equipment manually, so we exit the application.
Now open the settings of your smartphone (tablet) and go to the "Wi-Fi" section. We turn on the adapter. When the system offers a list of available devices to connect, find your "wireless" outlet and connect to it. The connection we need is named "Wifino1". After we have connected to the device, we return to the Edup WiFi application.
Here you need to click the "Settings" button, which is located at the very bottom of the screen on the right. Next, click "Initialize Device". Above, information about the connected device will be displayed: and the name.
Below you will need to enter the name of your Wi-Fi network in the field. You need to enter exactly as indicated in the router, with all characters, uppercase or lowercase letters, and so on. The name must match absolutely. And, accordingly, we enter the password for your Wi-Fi network.
After that we press the "Start" button. The phone will start sending the necessary commands to the Wi-Fi socket. You just have to wait for the pairing to be completed. When this happens, the indicator on the outlet itself, which was previously blinking, will stop blinking and will remain on continuously.
Now when you enter the Edup WiFi app again, the Devices section will contain your wireless socket connected to the router. Opposite the name there will be a button, when pressed, the device will turn on or off. As you can see, managing your household appliances via Wi-Fi is a fairly simple and quick process.
"Wireless" relay
The second gadget that will allow you to control the light in the house via Wi-Fi is a relay. This equipment is more powerful, which can withstand higher loads. In this case, everything works directly. That is, the relay itself distributes Wi-Fi, to which you need to connect and then launch the appropriate application and already in the program control the operation of the relay.
You don't need to make any special settings. The relay is supplied with setup instructions and a disk with the necessary software. In fact, a relay is virtually indistinguishable from a socket. But if you can control the outlet via the Internet, then the relay requires a direct connection via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
There are other options for "Smart Homes" with which you can configure the control of all household electrical appliances at once. But the cost of such equipment will be appropriate and affordable to few people.

1.11. Wi-Fi signal distribution via laptop
Everything possible options implementation Wi-Fi distribution from a laptop or PC, including standard configuration methods Windows tools 10, as well as with the help of specialized programs, it is impossible to consider within one book, so we turn to the most popular options that have stood the test of time.
Option number 1. Wi-Fi distribution can be carried out using command line and the netsh built-in command in Windows 7.
Requirements: computer 1 - Internet connection (LAN, WiFi, 3G ...), Wi-Fi module installed, installed OS Windows 7 or higher, as well as a second computer with built-in Wi-Fi module. In this case, a relatively simple network (ad-hoc mode) in point-to-point mode is not suitable for connecting to devices that do not support ad-hoc networks (for example, a tablet or Android phone). The use of this network is necessary mainly for the exchange of data between PCs in the absence of the possibility to use an access point. The essence of the method consists of several practical steps.
1. Opening Start? Control Panel? Network and Sharing Center? Setting up a shared connection or network.
2. Choose: Configuring a computer-to-computer wireless network, click Further... We set the name of the network and the security key in the Latin alphabet, click Further.
3. Opening Start? Control Panel? Network and Sharing Center? Change adapter settings.
We select a network with Internet access and go to Properties... This is followed by a switch to the tab Access and a permission command to share. On another computer, we are looking for the network we created and connect.
Option number 2. Distribute a Wi-Fi signal using the command line and the Windows 7 built-in netsh command to connect a computer network to a Wi-Fi device.
Requirements: computer 1 - Internet connection (LAN, WiFi, 3G ...), the presence of a Wi-Fi module whose drivers support Virtual Wi-Fi, installed Windows 7 maximum or Windows 8 R2, a second PC or (other devices) with a module.
Allows you to connect devices via an Access Point-AP based on Virtual Wi-Fi software technology. This technology is based on a Software Access Point (SoftAP), to which you can connect a laptop, phone (supported by Android OS), camera, printer and other devices.
1. Click Start? in the search bar, enter cmd? open the command line as administrator.
2. Enter the following line into the command line:
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode = allow ssid = "HomeWi-Fi" key = "123qwe123456" keyUsage = persistent where ssid = "HomeWi-Fi" SSID- network identifier (network name), in our example: HomeWi-Fi; key = "123qwe123456"- security key (password), in our example: 1 23qwe123456 "... Next, click Enter.
3. Then we start the network with the command (also enter into the command line) netsh wlan start hostednetwork followed by the list network connections the newly created HomeWi-Fi network is visible.
In order to provide Internet access to other devices connected to our created network, it is necessary to follow the procedure of step 3 described in the "alternative" option (No. 2).
In this option, there is a feature that when you turn off the distributing laptop or go to sleep, starting the network from the command line will need to be performed again. To avoid doing this every time, just download this startWi-Fi file. bat and drag it into.
Thus, we have configured the distribution of Wi-Fi from the laptop to other devices.
Option number 3. Using a program for distributing Wi-Fi from a laptop. Requirements: according to method number 2.
This option implements the ability to create an access point based on the described method No. 2, using only graphical program shells. A huge number of programs for distributing Wi-Fi from a laptop or PC are freely available, so there is no point in describing each setting.
Attention, important!
It will not be superfluous to purchase an autonomous Wi-Fi access point, which will save the user from many problems with connecting various devices. If the signal strength is insufficient, use an external Wi-Fi antenna with a high gain.
Wi-Fi routers: differences and features
Today, a router is one of the most popular devices among Internet users. The market offers a wide range of routers for every taste. Which router is better for home use? It is rather difficult to give an unambiguous answer to this question. different types routers, the main factors that you need to pay attention to when choosing a home Wi-Fi modem are all those important aspects without which right choice difficult.
