The provider Maryino.net uses the widespread FTTB technology to connect its subscribers to the Internet. A UTP (unshielded twisted pair) cable is installed into the user's apartment, through which a connection is established. The cable can be connected directly to a computer or to a Wi-Fi router if you plan to use the Internet on several devices.

Selection and connection of equipment for Maryino.net

The company provides the opportunity to take Wi-Fi router for rent. The monthly cost of the service depends on the model of router used. It ranges from 39 rubles per month for a budget Netis to 149 rubles for a dual-band Asus with gigabit ports. You can also purchase the device from your Internet provider. Available to choose from different models following manufacturers:

  1. TP-Link;
  2. Asus;
  3. Netis;
  4. UPVEL.

During installation, just insert the connector of the cable provided by the provider into the desired port on the Wi-Fi router. It is indicated by the inscription “Internet” or “WAN”. After this, insert the plug of the power supply into the “Power” connector, and plug the unit into a power outlet. This completes the wireless network connection. If not all home devices are equipped with a Wi-Fi module, use the “LAN” inputs for a wired connection.

Advice! Place the router away from active household appliances. Some devices may cause interference, reducing Wi-Fi signal strength.

Login to the router control panel

Open the device's IP address through any browser. Typically, manufacturers set one of the following addresses as the standard IP:

  • 192.168.0.1;
  • 192.168.1.1.

If these addresses are not available, check the IP on the router itself. The connection information sticker must be located on the bottom panel of the device. You can also find the data for going to the web interface page in the factory instructions. On the login page, enter your username and password (by default on most firmware it is admin/admin).

Important! After successful login you will be redirected to home page control panels. Usually there are performance statistics there, but on modern versions of ZyXEL home page contains a choice of setting method. Click " Quick setup» to change parameters step by step.

Setting up an Internet connection

The connection technology used by the Internet provider Maryino.net is PPPoE. Select it from the drop-down list if the system does not automatically detect the presence of a PPPoE server. Fill out the text fields “Login (user name)” and “Password for Internet access.” Necessary information can be found in the annex to the agreement concluded with the company Maryino.net. Leave the remaining fields blank and click “Next” to move to the next step.

When the connection is successfully established, service statistics will open. At the bottom of this window there are two buttons: “Go online” and “Web configurator”. If you do not want to change additional settings, click the first button. To switch to the advanced version of the web interface, select the second option. Through it you can configure Wi-Fi by selecting the necessary security settings.

Preparing a computer or laptop for setup

Before setting up the router, you need to prepare your computer. Open this page so that it is at your fingertips, because until you configure the router you will not have Internet.

In our example, the operating room Windows system 8.1. Windows 7 and Windows 10 are configured in the same way.

There are two ways to set up your internet connection, they are slightly different at first. Let's get a look:

First way

1. Go to the Start menu. It's located at the bottom left of your computer.

2. Go to

3. Select "Network and Internet"

4. Go to “Network and Sharing Center”

Second way

We have prepared the computer to configure the router. Now let's move on to setting up the router.

Setting up a router via a computer or laptop

After you have finished preparing your computer, you need to connect the router to the computer.

Connect the network cable to any yellow port, connect the other end of the cable to your computer or laptop. The connection cable is included in the box with the router. Look in the box: it is gray, 1-1.5 meters long with plugs at both ends. Plug in the power supply.

For now, we don’t need to connect the Internet cable that comes to your apartment to the blue port of the router. We'll do this later.

We will configure the TP-link wr841n router via the web interface.
1. Launch your browser. A browser is a program through which you open websites. The most common browsers are shown in the figure below. Look for a similar icon on your desktop, there may be several of them. Choose any.

Turn the router over and see what address you need to enter to enter the router settings:

Now enter into the address bar of the browser: http://192.168.0.1/ or http://tplinklogin.net/, depending on the information at the bottom of the router, and press “ENTER” on the keyboard.
Now enter “Username” and “Password”. They are also at the bottom of the router, see the picture above: “Username” is username, and “Password” is password. Default “Username”: admin; “Password”: admin.

2.You are inside the router. Let's start setting up. From the menu on the left, select "Network" and then "WAN". Here are the main Internet settings. Click on the arrow to the right of “Dynamic IP Address” and select “Static IP Address”.

3. Fill in 5 fields of network details: IP address, Subnet mask, Default gateway and two DNS servers.

In the “Network name” field, write the name of your WIFI. It can be anything: Anton_wifi, TP-link12414, fawgwagag. The main thing is that you know the name of your network.

In the “Channel” field, set the mode to auto. This is usually the optimal mode. In some situations, your devices will disconnect from WIFI in auto mode, in which case you will have to force set the WIFI channel. Try setting any channel from 8 to 11, they are usually the least loaded.

5. To ensure that no one but you can connect to the router, WIFI needs to be protected. To do this, in the “Wireless Mode” menu, find “Wireless Protection”

By default, the router has the “WPA/WPA2” mode selected, so we’ll focus on that. Leave “Version” and “Encryption” unchanged.

In the “Wireless Network Password” field, enter the password. Use lowercase and uppercase letters, numbers and symbols in your password, it’s safer. For example: FahqyAR245. If you forget your password, you can always look it up in the router settings. Next, scroll down the page and click “Save.”

No. You do not need to install any drivers anywhere to configure or use the router. If the kit includes a disc, it will only contain documentation. Drivers may be required for modems that connect to USB ports, but we are not talking about them now.

Default IP address, username and password

Now directly about how to “log into the router” (as modern users like to say). If the router is new, then its settings are factory settings. These settings are called "default" or default settings.Most manufacturers indicate the details directly on the router itself and designate them as Default settings: IP, username and password. Look for a sticker with this information on the bottom or back of the device:

If for some reason the sticker is missing or damaged, open the instructions and it will indicate what the default IP address, login and password are for your router. Instructions are always included. It can be either on a disk, or in the form of a paper brochure, or both.

Typically, by default, modern routers have the following settings:

IP address: 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1

Username: In most cases admin

Password: admin or empty

To enter the router settings, you need to type http:// in the address bar of your browser.<ай-пи адрес>. For example:
