Setting up the Asus RT N12 router
Connect to PC or laptop
Most people install a router in their apartment, and only then start thinking about how to configure it over the air - Wi-Fi. Which is not particularly correct. For convenience, it is easier to set up the router by connecting it to the computer directly, and after setting it up, place it where it is more convenient for you.
To make a connection, first turn on the router to the network, then insert the wire from the provider into a separate socket, the color of which is different from all the others (white, blue or another color, under this socket there should be an inscription in the form of an “e” sign with a rim). Take the wire that comes with the kit - a patch cord - and connect it to one of the 4 “LAN” sockets, connect the other end of this wire to the network card. It needs to be inserted where the wire from the provider was connected. This completes the connection of the RT N12 D1 to the computer. Resetting the RT N12 D1 router settings
Before you start setting up your router, I advise you toreset all settings to factory defaults. Maybe you didn’t get a new router, or after checking it at the factory, they forgot to return the settings to the standard state. To reset the settings, you need to press the Reset button; for this you will need an object with which you can reach the button, for example, a match or a straightened paper clip. After pressing the button, hold it in this position for 10-12 seconds, or wait until all the lights on the front panel light up at the same time. And after that, wait until the router restarts completely.
Setting up the input on RT N12 D1
After the router connects you need go to the settings menu. Login is performed as standard, as on all Asus routers. To get started, run any browser. After this, write 192.168.1.1 in the address bar, login – admin, password – admin, and press Enter.
Once logged in, you will see the Quick Settings page. To better understand the process, it is better to do everything yourself. By clicking on the button that looks like a “house” and is located in the upper right corner, you will go to the main page. For some firmwares, just click the "Next" button.
Setting up an Internet network on Asus RT N12 D1
First, set up your Internet connection. To do this, find an agreement with your provider, which specifies the settings and type of connection. If for some reason you cannot see these settings in the contract, contact your provider's technical support and find out these settings from them. After that, go to the “Internet” menu, located on the right side.
IP address, dynamic. Setting up for Rostelecom, Volya, TDK-Ural, Kyivstar
This type of connection is the simplest. To configure it, just select “Automatic IP” in the WAN connection type field. After this, be sure to put “Yes” in the “enable WAN” and “enable NAT” fields, you can also enable “UPnP” - so that there are no problems when working with file hosting services.
Some providers are bound to a specific MAC address, in which case it is worth specifying it. This address most likely belongs to the computer that was previously connected to the Internet. If you are setting up on the same computer, simply click on the “Clone MAC” button, followed by the “Accept” button.
Setting up a PPPoE connection for Rostelecom, TTK and Dom.ru
To begin, select the WAN connection type - “PPPoE”, also enable WAN, NAT and UPnP by checking the “Yes” field. The main thing is that in the account settings, in the “Username” field, indicate your login, which you looked at in your contract or learned from the support service. And in the “Password” field, in the same way we enter the required value assigned to the login provided by the contract.
Similar to the Dynamic IP settings, some providers bind by “MAC” address. When performing setup on a computer that was previously connected to the Internet, simply use the “Copy MAC” button. If you are using another device, enter this address manually. When you have finished entering all the settings, click the “Apply” button.
Setting up RT N12 D1 with L2TP connection type and Beeline provider
To configure, if your provider is Beeline, you need to select the L2TP connection type. Then enable WAN, NAT and UPnP. The user name, in this situation, is the contract number, this is the same number to which you make Internet payments. Password – identical to the password for your personal account. In the “VPN connection” item, indicate – tp.internet.beeline.ru. At the end, all you have to do is click “Apply”.
IPTV, setting up Asus RT N12 D1
The IPTV settings in this router are incomplete due to the new firmware. You can select the port through which the signal will be received. If your provider requires you to specify a “VLAN ID,” I will disappoint you, because this router does not have it, and therefore it is not suitable for you.
In order to select a port, go to the “Local network” item. At this point, in the “Select IPTV-STB port” field, you will need to select the port to which you will subsequently connect the iptv set-top box. Finally, click the “Apply” button.
Setting up Wi-Fi Asus RT N12 D1
To configure Wi-Fi on this router model, you need to go to the “Wireless Network” tab. In this tab, select “General” and enter some information there. SSDI is the name of your network, you can enter any name in Latin. "Authentication Method" - selects WPA2-Personal only, "WPA Pre-Shared Key" is password for your network, enter whatever you like, but not less than 8 characters and click “Accept”.
When you finish entering any settings, reboot your router. The button for this is located at the very top of the interface. The entire reboot procedure will last about 2-3 minutes. After this, the setup of Asus RT N12 D1 is completely finished.
