Asus Wi-Fi connection. Setting up the ASUS RT N10P router - detailed instructions. Access to the router interface: address, administration password
Setting up a router is something that scares most inexperienced users. But this fear is completely unjustified. Modern routers are very easy to configure. Now we will prove this by examining the process of setting up the ASUS RT-N12 router. This manual is also suitable for modifications of ASUS RT-N12 VP, ASUS RT-N12 D1 and ASUS RT-N12E.
Preparing to configure the ASUS RT-N12 router
Before you start setting up the ASUS RT-N12 router, you need to connect it correctly. Fortunately, connecting the router is very simple. The first thing you need to do is connect the router to a power outlet. After this, connect the cable from your Internet provider to the WAN port of the router. On the ASUS RT-N12 router, this port is indicated in blue (photo below).
You also need to connect your computer to one of the yellow LAN ports (photo below). To connect the computer, use the network cable that comes with the kit.
Another important point. Your computer must use automatic IP address acquisition. In most cases this is exactly the case. But, before you start setting up the router, it’s better to go in and check it, so that you don’t get distracted by such little things later.
To do this, after connecting the router, go to: Start - Control Panel - Network and Internet - Network and Sharing Center - Local Area Connection - Properties - Properties for the IPv4 component. In this window, automatic acquisition of IP and DNS addresses should be selected.
Automatic configuration of the ASUS RT-N12 router
In order to start automatic configuration of the ASUS RT-N12 router, simply open the browser. If you have correctly connected all the cables to the router, the automatic setting should appear in the browser window itself. If a window like the one in the screenshot below appears in your browser window, then everything is fine. Click on the “Go” button and continue setting up the router in automatic mode. If for some reason the automatic configuration does not start, then enter 192.168.1.1 in the address bar of the browser and a page with automatic configuration of the router should appear. If the router has already been configured before, you can start automatic configuration using the “Quick Internet setup” button in the web interface.
After clicking the “Go” button, a page for setting a password will appear. Here you need to select a new password to log into the router. You will have to enter this password every time you want to change the router settings. Therefore, you need to choose something that will be easy for you to remember. However, the password should not be too short or too simple. Enter the password and click on the “Next” button to proceed to the next stage of automatic configuration.
Next, the router will start automatically detecting the connection type. Depending on the connection method of your provider, this step may take place automatically or a window will appear asking you to enter connection data. In our case, the connection type was determined automatically. It should be noted that in some cases, determining the connection type may be wrong and select the wrong connection type that is needed. But, this can always be fixed manually.
The next step is setting up a Wi-Fi network. Here you only need to enter the name of your Wi-Fi network (you can just leave ASUS or enter any other name) and the password to access Wi-Fi (network key). The router will install the remaining settings automatically. By default, the WPA2-Personal AES security method is used. This method of protection is optimal for home use. Therefore, in most cases, no manual settings are required after the automatic setup is completed.
This completes the automatic configuration of the ASUS RT-N12 router. Information about the current settings will appear on the screen. Here we simply click on the “Next” button.
After clicking on the “Next” button, a window will open asking you to enter your username and password to log into the router. Enter the login admin (the login did not change during the automatic configuration stage) and the password you chose. After entering your login and password, the router’s web interface will appear on the screen.
Manual configuration of the ASUS RT-N12 router
After automatic setup is completed, you should check the Internet on your computer. If the Internet is available, then no additional manual configuration is needed. You have already done everything that was required of you in terms of setting up the router at the automatic setup stage.
But quite often there are situations when, after the automatic setup is completed, the Internet does not work. The most common problems are incorrect detection or configuration of the connection type and MAC binding. We will now look at both of these cases.
Setting up your Internet connection type
In order to manually configure the type of Internet connection, you need to go to the “Internet” settings section. The link to this settings section is located in the left side menu of the web interface, in the “Advanced settings” block.
In the "Internet" section you can configure all the settings that relate to your Internet connection. Different Internet providers use different settings. Therefore, you should check with your ISP technical support to determine which settings you need to use.
The most important thing is not to make a mistake when choosing the connection type (highlighted in red in the screenshot below). After selecting the connection type, the list of available settings changes. Therefore, if you correctly specify the connection type, then further setup will be much easier for you. As an example, we demonstrate what the settings should look like for the Beeline Internet provider (see screenshot below).
Setting the MAC address
It is not uncommon that the automatic configuration of the ASUS RT-N12 router correctly determines the connection type, but the Internet still does not work due to the fact that the Internet provider is bound to a different MAC address. In order to solve this problem, you need to change the MAC address in the router settings.
To do this, you need to go to the same “Internet” settings section that we talked about above. At the very bottom of the “Internet” page there is a “MAC address” field in which you can enter the MAC address to which your Internet provider is associated.
If the Internet provider is bound to the MAC address of the computer from which you are performing the setup, then you can simply click on the “Clone MAC” button. In this case, the router will automatically copy the required MAC address and all you have to do is click the “Apply” button.
How to connect an Asus WiFi router?
Nowadays, many people install a router with wireless Internet at home. Usually a technician comes for installation and does all the work of drawing the necessary wires, connecting the router and configuring it. However, it happens that installing and configuring a router is a paid service and the apartment owner is not ready to pay extra money for it. In this case, he wants to connect the Wi-Fi router himself, but often does not know how.
Let's look together at how to connect and configure an Asus Wi-Fi router yourself.
How to connect an Asus router
All routers today are made basically according to the same standard. Therefore, connecting the router will not be difficult. To do this you need:
- Connect the wire from the provider to the WAN port to the router. You just need to run a wire from the front door to the router.
- Then we connect the wire from the LAN port of the router to the computer, so that later you can configure the router.
- We connect the router to the power supply.
The remaining LAN ports can be used to connect other computers, laptops, printers and any equipment that can work with the router. After turning on the router, a wireless network will appear, but you still need to configure the router.
How to configure an Asus router correctly
Having connected the router to the computer via a wire, we begin setting up the router. However, if the computer does not see the connected router, then you must first install the necessary drivers, which can be found on the disk for the router or download drivers for the network card from the Internet.
After this, we begin the setup:
- Open any browser and enter “192.168.1.1” in the address bar. The router setup menu will open.
- In the window, enter your username and password to get to the router menu. You can view your login and password in the documentation for the router or on the back cover of the router itself. Typically, the username and password are the word “admin”. If, after entering the correct username and password, nothing happens, then you can reset all the router settings to factory settings. To do this, press the “reset” button on the router for ten seconds.
- The router menu will have several sections. In the provider data section, you must enter all the data that the provider provided for connection. You can find them in the documentation, on the provider’s website, or find out more by calling the provider. However, usually the settings are determined automatically by the router and there is no such need.
- In the Wi-Fi wireless network settings section, you need to set a new network name and a new password that only you will know. This is done to prevent neighbors from using your Internet.
- You can also change the login and password to access the settings of the router in the router settings.
- Save the new values and reboot the router.
Now you can use the Asus router.
Hello! Since I myself use an ASUS laptop, I decided to write a separate article about turning on Wi-Fi on an ASUS laptop and connecting to a wireless network. This is a very popular topic. As a rule, when it first becomes necessary to connect a laptop to a Wi-Fi network, users have a lot of questions: “where to turn on this Wi-Fi,” “where to find it on an Asus laptop,” “how to connect to a wireless network,” etc. d. In addition, many problems and errors may arise. Both during the process of turning on the wireless module and during the process of connecting to the network.
We have a task: connect an ASUS laptop to a Wi-Fi network. And here it is important to understand that the decision depends largely not on the laptop itself (manufacturer's company), or a specific model, but on the operating system installed on the laptop. Now the most popular are Windows 10, Windows 8, and Windows 7. I think that there is no point in considering Windows XP. Yes, this system is still used now, but everything has been set up there for a long time. And I don't have XP installed.
We will do everything according to this scheme:
- First, I'll show you how to connect your laptop to Wi-Fi. Most likely, you already have everything turned on and configured there. And there is no need to burden yourself with some buttons and settings.
- Next I’ll show you how to enable Wi-Fi on an ASUS laptop. This step will come in handy if you are unable to connect in the usual way. We will enable it using a keyboard shortcut, and without using the Fn key.
I will try to show everything using the example of Windows 10 and Windows 7. Most of the settings and actions will be similar. My laptop is ASUS K56CM (not the newest). But the article should be suitable for all models, including: X553M, X55a, X54H, N61VG, X751M and others.
Connecting an Asus laptop to a Wi-Fi network
Ideally, the Internet connection status should be like this (provided that there is no network cable connected to the laptop):
This star-shaped icon indicates that the laptop sees wireless networks available for connection and is ready to connect to them. If you have a different status, see the article below. To connect, just click on this icon, select the desired network, click the connect button, enter the password (if the network is secure), and you're done.
This is how the connection goes when everything is configured and turned on. Of course, errors like , but that's another story. Ideally, everything goes as I showed above. It's very cool if everything worked out for you. Next, I will show you what to do if the Wi-Fi adapter in your laptop works, the driver is installed on it, but for some reason it is disabled.
There may also be a connection icon in the form of an antenna with a red cross (no connections available):
In this case, see the solutions in the following articles:
- For Windows 7 –
- For Windows 10 –
Turn on the Wi-Fi adapter on the ASUS laptop
If the connection icon on the notification panel does not in any way resemble a wireless network, but looks like a computer with a cross, then most likely the wireless module on the laptop is disabled or does not work at all (most often due to an uninstalled driver). Let's figure it out now.
I immediately advise you to go to the "Device Manager" and see if the "Wireless" adapter is there. If it is not there, then there is no point in torturing the laptop and yourself. You need to install drivers. If the adapter is not in the device manager, then there is no way to enable it. And it doesn’t matter what kind of laptop you have, Asus or another.
It's very easy to check. In Windows 7, open Start and start typing “manager...” in the search bar. Launch Device Manager. On Windows 10 it’s exactly the same, only there is a search button next to the Start button.
In Device Manager, open the “Network Adapters” tab and look. If you have an adapter there whose name includes “Wi-Fi”, “Wireless” “802.11 b/g/n”, then everything is Ok. Let's look at the article further and try to enable it. Since you are already in the device manager, try right-clicking on the adapter. If there is an “Engage” item in the menu, then click on it. Perhaps after this Wi-Fi will work. You can tell by the icon in the notification bar (if there is no network cable connected to the laptop!).
If there is no such adapter there, there is only one (network card), then this most likely indicates that the Wireless adapter driver is not installed. Previously, I had already prepared an article in which I showed how to install the Wi-Fi driver on ASUS laptops:. The instructions are very detailed. After installing the driver everything should work.
And we continue. What to do if you have an adapter, but there is no way to connect to a wireless network.
Turn on Wi-Fi using a switch or a combination of buttons on the keyboard
It seems to me that ASUS no longer makes separate mechanical switches to enable/disable wireless modules. But on older laptops they may be. If you have an older model, then look for such a switch on the laptop case.
Typically, a keyboard shortcut is used for these tasks. Key Fn with a key from a row "F". But on ASUS laptops, most often this is Fn+F2. An antenna is drawn on the F2 key. This is what it looks like on my laptop:
If after pressing the key combination there is no result, then I advise you to press it once and restart the laptop.
Trying to turn on Wi-Fi on an ASUS laptop without the Fn key
It doesn't matter what Windows you have installed. Right-click on the Internet connection icon and select "Network and Sharing Center." Next, go to “Change adapter settings”.
There should be "Wireless Network Connection". Or “Wireless Network” - in Windows 10. If this connection has a “Disabled” status, then right-click on it and select “Enable”.
In Windows 10, the wireless network can also be disabled with the "Wi-Fi" button:
All these tips should definitely help you. If you encounter a situation that is not described in this article, or the solutions described above do not help, then write in detail about your case in the comments. Write the ASUS laptop model and what problem you encountered while connecting to the Wi-Fi network.

I hope I didn’t waste my time and that my article was useful to you. Write about it in the comments. Best wishes!
A router, also called a router, is a necessary device for accessing the Internet. The easiest way to connect and configure it is to follow the instructions that came with the current model upon purchase. If it is lost or for some reason inaccessible, we will describe in detail how it works with a typical device from Asus.
Turning on the Asus router
Despite the fact that we will consider the connection using specific examples (router model - Asus RT-N10, providers Beeline and Rostelecom), for other routers and operators it is easy to act by analogy. If you encounter any error when using the router for the first time, double-check whether its elements are correctly connected to the computer and the network.
- A standard router (in our case, Asus RT-N10) requires connecting at least 3 wires - power, provider cable and “cord” leading to the PC. If in the first case everything is clear - we simply plug the power supply into the socket, then it is important not to forget the other two connectors and not to confuse them. The provider's cable socket is usually marked with an image hinting at Internet access (globe, WAN, etc.). The connectors leading to the PC are grouped together, marked in a different color and numbered. You can choose any Lan port, the main thing is to remember its number, just in case.
- If the indicators on the surface of the router do not light up, check whether the “Power” button is pressed, turning the device on/off.
Before setting up via the web interface, it’s worth doing some preparatory testing on your computer:
- if you previously had access to the Internet on your PC, turn it off and use the one that appears during the setup process for this router;
- press the “Win + R” buttons, enter the command ncpa.cpl;
- A window with Internet connections will appear - right-click on the local one, which is installed with the router;
- from the context menu select “Properties”;
- in the new window, under the line “Components used by this connection”, select “Protocol version 4”;
- click on it, under the window click the “Properties” button;
- the connection parameters should indicate that IP and DNS are obtained “automatically”.
Setting up an Asus router via the web interface
When the preliminary manipulations are completed, we move on to the final stage of the process:
- launch any browser;
- write in the address line 192.168.1.1;
- we will be greeted by an authorization window asking for a login and password;
- enter admin\admin into the fields (if it doesn’t work, reset the preset password using the reset button on the router);
- in the menu, select the “WAN” section and enter the parameters indicated in the attached video (connection to Beeline is considered, for other providers - contact technical support or check in the concluded contract);
- After clicking the “Apply” button, the router should establish a connection to the Internet and open sites without problems.
For the router to start distributing WiFi, select the “Wireless Network” section in the web interface menu, fill in the items SSID (network name), authentication – WPA2-Personal, WPA key – your password.
The Asus RT-N 12 router is a standard device with average characteristics, which should be sufficient to meet the needs of users. The presented model is compatible with IPTV, but setting up iptv on an asus router can only be done at the standard level: a port is allocated for this, but traffic is not recorded. Wi-Fi is fully supported by 802.11n, which, under ideal conditions, allows you to overclock the Internet to 300 Mbit. But in reality, of course, the speed is several times lower, although this is enough.
So how's Asus? Let's figure it out.
Setting up the router
The IP address on the network for the presented device is the most common - 192.168.1.1. To see the web interface, you need to enter the following into the browser line: http://192.168.1.1. It looks something like this:Figure 1. Interface
The user name and password are standard – admin, admin. After the first login, the “Setup Wizard” will be displayed. The tool is useful for beginners as it allows you to configure the router in simple conditions. After clicking the “Next” button, an attempt will be made to automatically select the connection type. If unsuccessful, the device will give you the choice.
When setting up an asus rt router, L2TP is selected for Beeline, and PPPoE is selected for Rostelecom and other providers of a similar type. Click “Next”.
