Tianyi gateway is a device that integrates the functions of optical modem and router, which can realize the access of wired and wireless networks. However, some users may feel that the wifi signal of the e-Surfing gateway is not strong enough, or they want to use the router they purchased, so they need to connect a router on the basis of the e-Surfing gateway. So, how to set up a router for Tianyi gateway?Let's take a look at the specific steps.
Step 1: Make sure that the IP address of the router does not conflict with the IP address of the e-Surfing gateway
The IP address of the router is used to access the management interface of the router. Generally speaking, the IP address of e-Surfing gateway is 192168.1.1. If your router's IP address is also 192168.1.1. IP address conflicts will be caused, resulting in inability to access the router's management interface and normal Internet access. Therefore, you need to change the IP address of your router to 192168.0.1 or 192168.2.1. Or other IP addresses that are different from those of e-Surfing gateway.
The specific modification method is to first connect the LAN port of the router with a network cable and the network port of the computer, then open the browser of the computer, enter the IP address of the router, enter the management interface of the router, enter the username and password of the router (usually admin admin), and then find the option of network settings or LAN settings, modify the IP address of the router, save the settings, and restart the router. In this way, the IP address of the router is successfully modified.
Step 2: Set the router's Internet mode to automatically obtain an IP address
The Internet mode of the router is used to determine how the router connects to the Internet, and there are generally three modes, namely broadband dial-up Internet access, static IP Internet access and automatic IP Internet access.
Since the e-Surfing gateway has completed the setting of broadband dial-up Internet access, when a router is connected on the basis of the e-Surfing gateway, the broadband dial-up Internet access mode can no longer be used, otherwise it will cause dial-up conflicts and lead to inability to access the Internet. Therefore, you need to set the router's Internet mode to automatically obtain the IP address, so that the router will obtain the IP address and other network parameters from the Tianyi gateway to achieve Internet access.
The specific setting method is to connect the LAN port of the router with the network port of the computer with a network cable, then open the browser of the computer, enter the IP address of the router, enter the management interface of the router, enter the username and password of the router (usually admin admin), and then find the option of Internet access settings or WAN settings, select the mode of automatically obtaining the IP address, save the settings, and restart the router. In this way, the router's Internet mode is set successfully.
Step 3: Use a network cable to connect the WAN port of the router and the LAN port of the e-Surfing gateway
The steps to physically connect the router to the e-Surfing gateway are very simple, you only need to use a network cable to connect the WAN port of the router and the LAN port of the e-Surfing gateway. Generally speaking, the WAN port of the router is blue, and the LAN port of the e-Surfing gateway is yellow, which can be distinguished according to the color. If the LAN port of the e-Surfing gateway has been occupied by other devices, you can choose a LAN port other than ITV network port 2, because ITV network port 2 is specially used to connect to the network TV set-top box of telecommunications, and if it is connected to a router, it may affect the normal use of network TV.
Step 4: Change the wifi name and password of the router
Connect the wifi of the router with a mobile phone or computer, then open the browser, enter the IP address of the router, enter the management interface of the router, enter the username and password of the router (usually admin admin), and then find the option of wireless settings or wifi settings, modify the wifi name and password of the router, save the settings, and restart the router. In this way, the router's wifi name and password are successfully modified.
Connect the wifi of the e-Surfing gateway with your mobile phone, then turn on the mobile phone wings butler, bind the e-Surfing gateway, and then select the extended wifi function to configure the router with one click. In this way, your router will automatically synchronize the wifi name and password of the e-Surfing gateway to achieve seamless switching, and at the same time, the router can be managed and optimized through the mobile phone winglet butler.
Through the above five steps, you can realize the connection between the e-Surfing gateway and the independent router.
