Back in 2009, Asus RT-G32 router sales started. Setting it up is a fairly simple operation, and a novice computer specialist can cope with it. It is its order for different operators that will be given in this material.
Router niche
By the standards of 2009, the router in question could be safely attributed to mid-level network solutions. Now the requirements have changed significantly, and only the most budget devices include the Asus RT-G32 considered in this article. The setting, of course, is quite simple for him, and there are no problems with it. The key advantage of this budget router is its cost, which currently stands at 1000-1200 rubles. Given the fact that this product has already been tested by time and managed to show itself mainly only on the good side, such a price is quite justified.
Specifications
Typical technical parameters for an entry-level network solution include Asus RT-G32. The WiFi setting in this case is standard, and there is certainly nothing super complicated in it. The number of wired ports in this device is 5, and all of them are RJ-45. One of them is blue and has a WAN mark. The maximum speed in this case can reach 100 Mbps. It is to him that the wire from the network traffic provider is brought. The remaining four are yellow and are labeled LAN1 to LAN4. Local devices of this network are connected to it, which may include game consoles, televisions, computers, laptops and other equipment. As in the previous case, the highest value of the transmission speed is 100 Mbit / s. One round socket is for connecting an external power supply. The wireless part of the network is implemented using the Wi-Fi standard. At the hardware level, it is implemented by a single antenna, and the transmission speed in this segment can reach 150 Mbps.
First Setup Step: Connect
The first step is to fully connect the Asus RT-G32. The setting is identical for all providers. First you need to connect the power supply to the AC network and the corresponding socket on the router. Then we bring the cord from the provider and connect it to the port labeled WAN. In conclusion, if necessary, we connect all the wired devices of the computer network to the router. Separately, it should be noted that a computer must be connected to a router directly to any router through a twisted pair cable to any LAN port. And it can be both a stationary computer and a laptop. After the configuration is completed, this connection is not required, and it can be removed on the switched off equipment. In the future, it can be replaced by a more convenient and practical Wi-Fi.
Setting procedure for Beeline
To begin, consider the setup procedure for the Beeline cable provider of the Asus RT-G32 router. The Beeline setting requires setting these parameters:
1. After turning on and ending the download of such components of the computing system, such as a router and a personal computer, on the last one we launch any browser that is available. In its address bar, we type the device address: 192.168.1.1. Then press Enter.
2. Then you need to wait until the control panel downloads. At the same time, two active fields will be present in the interface. One of them is “Login”, and the second is “Password”. You must enter the admin character set in each of the fields. After filling in both fields, click the “Login” button.
3. Next, when the router configuration menu appears, select the “Advanced Settings” item, and in it the WAN subsection. Here we set the following parameters:
- “WAN connection” - “Dynamic IP”;
- if necessary, set the port to which the IPTV set-top box is connected;
- in the next field indicate that the IP address is set automatically and is obtained from the provider;
- then we set automatic connection to DNS.
4. After that, we save the changes by clicking the “Apply” button and wait for the reboot of the network node to complete.
5. After the router has finished loading, select the “Network Map” item. It is mandatory to set the following parameters:
- the name of the network is at our discretion in Latin letters;
- Security level sub-item - select WPA-Personal in the drop-down list;
- in the next dropdown window Encryption set the value of TKIP + AES;
- then in the KEY field we set the password for the connection as you wish; it can consist of Latin letters and numbers - there must be at least 8 of them.
6. Click on the “Apply” button again and wait for the device to restart loading.
7. After that, the Asus RT-G32 is properly configured. Beeline setup is now complete.
Algorithm for MTS
The configuration algorithm for the MTS network router Asus RT-G32 is not very different. Configuring MTS, as in the case of Beeline, begins by entering the setup menu using the previously described methodology. Then, in the menu item titled “Advanced Settings”, select the WAN subsection. The following parameters are set in it:
- Type of connection - PPPoE.
- Automatically obtain network address and DNS.
- Set the username and password that are specified in the contract with the cable provider.
- If necessary, we also indicate the LAN port to which the IPTV set-top box is connected.
We save these parameters and wait for the router to restart rebooting. After that, you need to configure the wireless connection according to the same algorithm as in the case of Beeline.
Configuration for Rostelecom
In this case, the setup procedure is identical to that previously given for MTS. Moreover, this is based on the same PPPoE protocol for Asus RT-G32. Setting up Rostelecom requires the same steps. The only thing you need to remember is that the password and, of course, the login are entered from the contract.
Summary
One fact that the network router considered within the framework of this material has been successfully sold for more than 5 years speaks volumes. For the world of electronic technology, this is a whole era. At the start of sales, this decision was mid-range. Now, the Asus RT-G32 belongs to the budget segment. Setting up is a very, very simple operation, which even a novice and poorly trained user can certainly handle. To do this, it is enough to fully complete all the above steps for each operator.
