Asus rt n12 router is connected. Connecting, flashing and setting up the ASUS RT N12 VP router. Connecting the Asus RT-N12 router

Step-by-step setup of RT-N12 C1 (B1, D1) for any provider: MTS, Beeline, Rostelecom and TTK, also Dom.ru. Indicates how to properly install a VPN server. And the result of three tests is given.

ASUS routers called RT-N12 are presented in three models: B1, C1 and D1. The new firmware with a black interface is installed on the D1 router, and for the C1 it is easy to update. Model B1, in turn, simply cannot be purchased. That is, for C1 and D1 the setting looks the same, and there are also HP B1 and VP models that have the same black interface. This is what we will talk about further – it’s interesting to configure the ASUS RT N12 in a new version. Your firmware number must start with a three.

Equipment and appearance

Appearance of the device

The ASUS website lists the following equipment: LAN power cord, router, power supply, two antennas and a warranty card. For models B1 and C1 there is also a CD-ROM, and their power supply produces 9 Volts. And for D1 you need 12 Volts! The current strength is 1 Ampere in the first case and 0.5 in the second.

Specifications

Each of the three routers under consideration is built on the same processor. The amount of memory and ROM is also the same:

  • Processor – BCM5357, 300 MHz;
  • FLASH – 8 MB;
  • RAM – 32 MB;
  • Wi Fi – 802.11n, 300 Mbit/s.

It does not follow from the above that the firmware from routers of one revision is suitable for others. Whoever forgets about this will receive a “brick”.

The hardware revision number is printed on the label in the top line. Example: “H/W Ver. B1".

Options and functionality

3 modes, 4 networks

Each of the three devices, from B1 to D1, operates in router, access point or wireless repeater mode. You can create not one, but four WiFi networks with different names. And you can adjust the bandwidth of each network. In reality, we are talking about one network, it’s just that all subscribers will see four SSID names, and depending on their choice they will receive different traffic. Well, the speed of “300 megabits” is, of course, a theory.

All characteristics are summarized in the table.

Quick Setup Wizard

The asterisk means “only after updating the firmware to version 3.X.” Further, LAN as WAN is configured normally in the third firmware, but not in beta. But for B1 it still needs to be found. However, in the “old interface” they do this: select the IPTV STB port, and use it as a WAN. This method has a drawback - the WAN indicator on the router will not light up.

Work in the "master"

When you first connect to a PC, the router turns on the “master”, and all you need to do is go to the website “192.168.1.1”. No password is needed. Click “Go”, set a password and click “Next”. Then the router will configure the WAN connection itself. But reviews say that this option does not work for everyone.

Most likely, the connection type will have to be set manually. “Special requirements” include MAC cloning. The “wizard” will ask for parameters, and you must fill out the fields correctly. “Router settings” is the third section where you set the password for the WiFi network.

Indicators and connectors

When designing its routers, ASUS did not invent anything. On the case of the RT-N12 router there are 7 LEDs indicating the presence of voltage, as well as the activity of 5 ports and WiFi. A short press on the Restore button will reboot the router, and pressing for 5-7 seconds will reset the settings. This is how any ASUS router works!

Rear panel of the router

The yellow ports are the home network, and the provider's cord is plugged into the WAN port.

If the WAN port on the router burns out, you can use the LAN port instead of the WAN. ASUS is a good company, but additional configuration is needed.

Video: setting up the Internet, Wi-Fi network on ASUS RT-N12

How to connect Wi-Fi router ASUS RT - N12 to a computer

Preparation

On the computer, the network card is configured for “automation”. The LAN port of the router is connected to the PC via a patch cord, and the provider’s cord must be connected to the WAN port. Next, power is supplied to the router: in a minute it will boot, and after 2 minutes the computer will update the address of its card. And you can open the site “192.168.1.1”. In the “wizard”, click “Go”, set a password, click “Next”, “Next”. The router will display the Network Map tab.

WAN setup

To set up an Internet connection, open the “Internet” -> “Connection” tab in the router interface. By default, the router is configured in Auto IP mode. For subsequent logins, the admin login is suitable, and the password will be the one that was set. If something doesn’t work out, the router settings are reset: a minute after turning it on, press Restore for 7 seconds.

Setting up the ASUS RT N12 router for Rostelecom

Rostelecom uses different cables - Ethernet, telephone or optical. In the latter cases, you need to know what the VPI and VCI parameters are equal to. And the WAN port of the router must be connected to the modem, where the VPI/VCI numbers are already set. There are no these parameters inside the router interface.

PPPoE

Go to the tab for setting up WAN. Select a protocol.

PPPoE Rostelecom

You need to specify the parameters:

  1. NAT – “Yes”;
  2. UPnP – “No” for starters. This is how the router works for everyone, and then you can fix it.
  3. Automatic IP address – “Yes”;
  4. DNS automatic – “Yes”;
  5. The name and password are clear from the contract;
  6. Time is better than “0” so that the router does not turn off!
  7. MTU is better than 1450, and if it works, try 1492;
  8. MRU – 1480, etc. (until 1492).

Let the rest be by default. Press the “Apply” button, and the connection appears on the “Network Map”.

The “VPN + DHCP” option can be disabled.

PPPoA

There is no PPPoA support on the RT-N12 router. By opening the “master”, you can make sure that this protocol is missing.

Internet setup

The same will happen with most other routers, including non-ASUS ones. It is not clear why Rostelecom needs PPPoA.

The efficiency of PPPoA compared to PPPoE will be 1% higher. But it’s easy to choose the MTU - always 1500.

Setting up the ASUS RT N12 router for Beeline and MTS

The easiest way would be to configure PPPoE. It is used by MTS. And the L2TP protocol “from Beeline” is now used by all ASUS routers. But with MTS the question is open, although it has the PPTP protocol, with which there are no problems either. We must remember that in addition to PPPoE, MAC cloning on the router is performed for all protocols! A PC with which the Internet was connected is connected to the router, and the “Clone MAC” button on the settings tab is easy to find.

PPPoE

On the “Internet” -> “Connection” tab, select the desired protocol.

There is no need to change anything - the router is almost configured:

  1. NAT – “Yes”;
  2. UPnP - “Yes”;
  3. IP address, DNS auto – “Yes”;
  4. Username and password – see agreement;
  5. Time – “0”;
  6. MTU, MRU – 1492;
  7. “VPN + DHCP” – “Yes”.

The new settings are “applied” and the “Network” icon appears in the upper right corner. That is, the router connects to the Internet.

Most often, MTS uses the PPTP protocol (see below).

L2TP

The line vpn.internet.beeline.ru is the name of the server for Beeline subscribers. The router has a “VPN server” field for such names, which is located on the “Connection” tab. The L2TP protocol is selected on it.

Options:

  1. NAT – “Yes”;
  2. UPnP - “Yes”;
  3. IP address, DNS auto – “Yes”;
  4. Name – starts with 089, see contract;
  5. Password - from the agreement;
  6. VPN server - see the beginning of the chapter;
  7. “VPN + DHCP” – “Yes”.

After cloning the MAC, click “Apply”. The router will establish a connection in 30-40 seconds.

You can try setting up the router for MTS. Server name – l2tp.e66.ru or l2tp.local (depending on the region).

PPTP

We are talking about the MTS provider. On the router, set the server name or one of the addresses:

  1. 172.19.1.1;
  2. 172.19.1.27;
  3. 172.19.1.26;
  4. 172.19.1.21.

Numbers may vary in different regions. And the name is vpn.local.

By setting the address in the settings, you make life easier for the router, but not for yourself. On the “Connection” tab, the setup is almost done - just set the protocol.

The main parameters for the router are login and password, server name or address, and nothing more. You need to clone the MAC, click “Apply” and wait 10 seconds.

Setting up a router for Dom.ru and TTK

The Dom.ru provider always checks the MAC address, even on the PPPoE protocol. And TTK does the same, but only using the PPTP protocol. This means that the WAN port of the router must receive a suitable MAC address. For this purpose, there is a “Clone” button.

PPPoE

For TTK and Dom.ru, the setting differs in “cloning”.

PPPoE TTK and Dom.ru

Only login and password are specified. All this is done on the “Connection” tab. The settings need to be “Apply”, and the router connects to the Internet.

Before applying the settings, clone the MAC (for Dom.ru).

L2TP

On the “Connection” tab, select “L2TP”.

  1. Fill out the password and login field (271XXXX);
  2. The router needs to know the server name (one);
  3. Other settings are default.

Click “Apply”. After 30 seconds, the router will create a valid connection.

The names of TTK servers depend on the region: l2tp.svg.ttkdv.ru, l2tp.kms.ttkdv.ru, etc.

PPTP

Both TTK and Dom.ru like to issue a static IP for the PPTP protocol.

Setting up a router will be difficult. On the “Connection” tab, select PPTP, then install:

  1. Your own IP, mask and gateway (see contract). Example for TTK: 10.10.3.200, 255…0, 10.10.3.1.
  2. DNS (both);
  3. Login and password;
  4. Server IP address. Example: 10.10.3.1, 10.10.3.36 – only one.

Clone the MAC, click “Apply”.

The contract contains 8 parameters! Or 7 if the server and gateway are the same.

Setting up the ASUS RT-N12 D1 PPPoE wireless router

How to set up WiFi on the ASUS RT N12 router?

You can make changes on the start tab. Change SSID, set password.

"Network map"

The router also has a special tab with settings. Its name is “Wireless Network” -> “General”.

It is better to write down all data.

WiFi, shared

The settings themselves are set like this:

  1. Name – any;
  2. Hide – “No”;
  3. Mode – N;
  4. Width – “40” (300 Mbps) or “20” (150), but not “Auto”;
  5. Router channels (I and II) – both “Auto”;
  6. Method – WPA2 or WPA for older Android devices;
  7. Encryption – AES or TPIK for WPA;
  8. Key – 8 characters.

Click “Apply”. The router will reboot.

ASUS RT N12 IPTV setup

All settings are contained on the “Local Network” -> “IPTV” tab.

Select a name for the Internet connection. Then:

  • Select a port for the set-top box (does not work with the Internet via ADSL);
  • For a PC or Smart TV, you need to “Enable” the last two options.

Click “Apply”.

The router will not transmit traffic intended for the set-top box to the local area.

ASUS RT - N12 VPN server setup

The router can be a server.

VPN server

To configure, open the “VPN” tab:

  1. “Server”, “Enable” – “Yes”;
  2. “More details”: “LAN to VPN”, MPPE, IP pool;
  3. “Server”: “+Add” and password with login.

After each step, click “Apply”. The router is designed for 10 subscribers.

When the router was a PPTP subscriber, it used MTU/MRU = 1450.

Local LAN and DHCP

On the “Local network” -> “IP address” tab, set the router address.

The DHCP Server tab contains other settings:

  1. Router name in LAN;
  2. Auto-issuing address pool (for PlayStation set X.9-X.254);
  3. Gateway address, by default equal to the router address.

It is better not to turn off the server. The main thing is to click “Apply”.

IP values ​​in LAN and WAN networks must not overlap!

How to reset your router?

Two equivalent methods:

  • Turn on the router, wait a minute, press Restore for 7 seconds;
  • Select “Administration” -> “Manage Settings”, click “Restore”.

The router will forget the settings. Then it behaves like new.

The photo shows “method 2”.

If you have forgotten your password, do as stated above.

Protecting the settings of the Asus RT-N12 router

All settings are saved on the PC. You need the “Manage Settings” tab.

The latter is needed to download the settings to the router.

Update to the latest firmware

You can download the firmware on one page:

  • B1: www.asus.com/ru/Networking/RTN12_ B1/HelpDesk_Download/;
  • C1 and D1: change the letter B to C or D.

The ASUS instructions do not contain this information. Then on the router go to the “Update...” tab.

Firmware

Select a file and click “Submit”.

After pressing, you have to wait 5 minutes. And the router cannot be turned off!

Tests

WAN-LAN transmission speed is almost 95 Mbit/s.

Testing

  1. WiFi 20 MHz – 21 and 16 (some have 52);
  2. WiFi 40 MHz – 40 and 30 (90).

The router also coped with L2TP. The result was slightly higher than 70 Mbit/s.

The main advantage of RT-N12 is its affordable price.

Video about ASUS RT-N12: connection and setup

The Asus rt-n12 router is a fairly popular budget router that successfully implements all the functions necessary for a simple home network. The device is a portable WiFi access point with an information exchange speed of up to 150 Mbit, while the device supports the common 802.11n communication standard with an operating frequency of 2.4 GHz and is equipped with 4 LAN ports for “hard” connecting local computers.

At the top of the window, set the following Internet connection settings:

  • - WAN type – you must select PPPoE from the drop-down list of connections;

Most Rostelecom subscribers use a PPPoE Internet connection. However, when setting up a router yourself, it is still recommended to clarify your type of Internet connection: this information can be found in the contract with the provider or clarified by calling the technical support of your Internet service provider.

  • - the choice of port for setting up IPTV STB depends on which port you connected the set-top box to, but by default it is recommended to use the LAN4 connector;
  • - enable UPnP – mark the option “Yes” with a marker;
  • - get a WAN IP address automatically – select “Yes”;
  • - enable PPPoE relaying – it is recommended to set the option “no” from the list.
  • - in the username and password fields, enter the data received from the Rostelecom operator for connecting to the Internet.

Setting up an asus rt n12 router for Beeline and MTS

In general, the instructions for setting up an asus rt n12 router for MTS, Beeline and other “mobile” providers are similar to setting up a router for Rostelecom.

If you wish, you can support the project:

Hello! We will now configure the Asus RT-N12+ router. You can read a short review, photos, characteristics and reviews about this router (don't forget to leave your feedback, it is very important to us :)). I am sure that these instructions will be suitable for other Asus RT-N12 routers of different versions, there are many of them, I wrote about this in the article at the link above. Why, using these instructions you can configure almost any Asus router. At the moment I only have RT-N12+, so we will torture it. When the opportunity arises, I will definitely write about other models.

Now we’ll quickly set up our Asus RT-N12+, I’ll tell you how to connect everything, go into settings, configure the Internet, set the name of the Wi-Fi network and change the password. I will provide a link to instructions for updating the firmware. In a few minutes you will already be drinking tea and surfing the Internet via Wi-Fi :)

I will not review this router, as I wrote about it in detail on its page (link at the beginning of this article). I’ll just write that the router looks very beautiful and stylish, it works stably, and we intend it mainly for home use. Suitable for connecting tablets, phones, laptops, TVs, etc. via Wi-Fi, and if there is no wireless connection, you can connect 4 devices via cable. For a small apartment or small house, this is a great option.

We will configure it according to the following scheme:

  • Connecting and entering settings
  • Setting up Asus RT-N12 using the Quick Setup Wizard
  • Setting up an Internet connection with a WAN provider (if it didn’t work through the quick setup wizard)
  • Setting a Wi-Fi password and changing the wireless network name
  • Changing the password to access settings.

To configure the router, we will definitely need information about what type of connection your provider uses and whether it binds by MAC address. And if the connection type is PPPoE, L2TP, or PPTP, then you will need additional data, such as username, password, possibly IP, etc. All this data is provided by the provider. How to find out the connection type, I .

Connection and quick setup of Asus RT-N12+

Connect power to the router. If the power indicator does not light up, check whether the power is turned on with the button on the back of the router. Connect the network cable from your provider or modem to the WAN connector. And connect a cable to one of the 4 LAN ports, which will connect the router to the computer. If you do not have a computer or laptop, or do not have a network cable, then you can configure the router via Wi-Fi. But it’s better to use a cable, then you can disconnect it from the computer.

If you configure via Wi-Fi, just connect your laptop (or another device, you can configure it from a tablet or phone) to the wireless network, which will appear immediately after turning on the router. The network will be called Asus and will not be password protected.

It may be that the default network will be called differently, or will have a password. Perhaps someone has already tried to configure our Asus RT-N12. I always recommend doing a factory reset before setting up. Press and hold the button on the back side for 10 seconds (showed her in the photo above). When you release, all the indicators will go out and the router will start to turn on.

Go to the control panel

After everything is connected, open any browser and type the address 192.168.1.1 . Settings should open immediately. If this does not happen, or something went wrong for you, then take a look. We should see the Quick Setup Wizard. To begin, press the button Go.

On the next page we need in the field Network name (SSID) indicate the name of your Wi-Fi network, and in the field Network key set a password to connect to this network. Write this password down somewhere as well.

The router will think and reboot. A Wi-Fi network will appear with the name we just set. Connect to it with the new password that we just set.

After connecting, go back to the settings. A window with connection information should appear. Click Further.

The router will ask you to provide a username and password to access the settings (which you specified during the setup process).

If everything is exactly as I described above, then you are very lucky. This most likely means that your ISP is using a connection technology Automatic IP, and the router configured everything itself. By the way, the Internet through the router should already be working. This completes the router setup.

But, if your connection type L2TP, PPPoE, or PPTP (providers: Beeline, Dom.ru and others), then the setup will go a little differently. You will just need to manually set some parameters.

Internet setup PPPoE, L2TP, PPTP (Dom.ru, Beeline) on Asus RT-N12

If your provider uses PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP, or Static IP technology, then after running the Quick Setup Wizard, after checking the connection, the router should prompt you to select the type of your connection.

You may need to specify some other parameters. IP address, service name, etc. It all depends on the type of connection and your provider.

During the setup process, as soon as the router establishes a connection to the Internet, it will prompt you to set up a Wi-Fi network, etc. Complete these settings as I showed above in this article.

You can always do it yourself change WAN settings(internet connections). Just go to the main settings page (there is a button in the Quick Setup Wizard), and open the tab Internet - Connection.

On this page you can always set the most important Internet connection settings. If the Internet through the router is already working, you have changed the wireless network name and password, then you can finish setting up the Asus router. And I’ll also show you where and how you can change the most important settings.

Setting up Wi-Fi and changing the password

If you want to change the name of your Wi-Fi network, or change the key that you use to connect to Wi-Fi, you can do this at any time in the router settings right on the main page. Simply enter a new username and/or password and click Apply.

More wireless network settings, including channel settings, can be found on the tab Wireless network(left).

After changing the network name or password, do not forget to reconnect your devices to Wi-Fi. If you have connection problems (usually after changing the password), then delete your network and connect to it again.

Protecting the settings of the Asus RT-N12 router

During the setup process, we already set a new password to access the control panel. But, if you haven’t done this, or want to change your password, then go to the tab Administration - System. Enter the same password twice and click the button Will apply b.

Now, to log into the admin panel, you will use this password. Don't forget it :) On this page you can also change the time zone, assign an action to the WPS button, enable Telnet, etc.

If you have read this article to the end, and you still have a desire to do something, then you can update the firmware of your RT-N12. There is a lot on this topic.
