Providers Rostelecom and MTS provide subscribers with a Sagemcom ADSL router with a modified firmware. If you switch to the services of a provider that “supplies” the Internet via an Ethernet cable, such a router, in particular, fast 2804 V7, can still be used. Even though there is no WAN port. Simply, you need to try to configure this device correctly.
We will consider the following connection option. This is the DHCP protocol, the easiest to set up. For the WAN port, it makes more sense to use the port closest to the ADSL connector (labeled "eth3" in the setup program). So the patch cord going to the computer is connected to the LAN 1 - LAN 3 port. Be careful.
Rear panel of the router
Setting router Sagemcom for a DHCP connection - does not require a hardware reset. If the user has the ability to open the interface for configuration (with some address and password), this should be done. But first, we advise you to properly connect the signal cables.
Setting Basic Functions
Hardware connection of the router
Connecting to a PC is performed in the same way as for setting up ADSL connections. At the same time, it is not necessary to occupy the hardware port with the designation "4".
Device connection diagram
The network card of the computer must be configured to "Auto" IP and DNS. Then, connect the provider's cable to the fourth LAN port. Lastly, connect the power (and send the PC to reboot).
You need to find out what the router's IP address is, as well as the password value for the setup interface.
For the Rostelecom device, the values are as follows:
- router address - 192.168.1.1
- login for settings - admin
- password - too, admin
Open the web interface, make the start tab appear.
Setting up an ETTH connection
How to set up a Sagemcom router is described in the instructions supplied by the provider. But the ADSL connection option is not required for us. First of all, we perform a "soft reset". You need the tab "Management" -> "Settings ..." -> "Reset":
Soft reset
After performing the reset, go to the tab " Additional settings» -> «WAN service», and delete all available interfaces. There shouldn't be one left. The same is done on the "Interfaces of the 2nd level" tab:
Clearing Internet Connection Tables
We have shown how to perform the preliminary steps.
Now, go to the "ETH interface" tab and configure the connection:
- Select the port number that will act as "WAN" and set the "VLAN MUX" mode:
WAN port selection
- We configure this port, for which we first click "Next", then - select the type of connection (IP over Ethernet), click "Next"
- We configure the connection option "DHCP", so that the IP should be "obtained automatically":
Setting connection parameters
- Turn on NAT, Firewall and just in case IGMP Multicast (click "Next")
- How we chose the "Default Gateway": in the left column - leave "eth 3.1", in the right - nothing (click "Next")
- DNS can be set explicitly, but it's safer to use automatic fetching:
WAN interface tab
The configured connection should work. If this is not the case, we call the provider and report the MAC address change. Successful setup!
Additionally, we note that the router of the model in question performs a “substitution” MAC addresses- does not allow.
Wireless network in the router
Actually, setting up a wireless access point is discussed in the instructions. How to configure a Sagemcom wifi router so that an “unsecured” wireless network appears, we will briefly consider.
Open the "WLAN Settings" -> "Basic" tab. Verify that the checkbox "Enable wireless communication” (as well as “Enable multicast transmission ...”). We set the SSID, that is, the name of the network, and press the button labeled "Apply / Save".
Setting up a wireless network
It is important to know that we configured the router in such a way as to make it possible to view IPTV (through any PC connected to the router's network). The IPTV option for STB set-top boxes is configured differently.
In fact, to broadcast IPTV to the local network, it remains to enable “IGMP Snooping” in the “Advanced Settings” on the “LAN” tab.
Happy routing!
