General connections and installation methods are as follows:1. Insert an external broadband / fiber network into the cat's WAN port, then insert the network cable from the cat's LAN port and plug it into the WAN port of the wireless router, providing the router with a network signal.2, and then use the network cable to connect the router's LAN port and computer network interface.3, open the computer browser, access the router settings page, enter the management account number and password (usually admin, to the instruction manual) login.4, log into the router settings interface, select quick settings, follow the prompts to enter the broadband optical fiber network, account / password; WiFi signal name and then set a good launch and password, save the settings, restart the router.5, the next user can open the mobile phone or other terminal equipment of the WiFi search function, WiFi signal nearby, find the router sends the WiFi signal, click on the link, enter the corresponding WiFi code, can be successfully connected, the internet.
Cat out of the cable network can be connected directly, it is not a problem.The key is, what kind of ports do you connect to? LAN mouth? WAN mouth?Relatively simple settings.The computer manually sets IP (192.168.1.xxx), connects the LAN port of the wireless router, login the router management interface, and then switches off the LAN DHCP function.Then, the set-top box out of the network cable to connect the wireless router's LAN port. [unable to connect to WAN port].Set the computer back to automatic IP, just fine.
