Who is the Internet wi-fi and cable through The Router?

Hi! It’s time to deal with another problem, incomprehensible for many people, when after installing a router, the Internet does not work. More precisely, when the Internet does not work through the router. And it does not matter how you connect, via Wi-Fi network, or by cable.

In fact, a very popular situation. And now I will try to put everything in a box, and in simple language to tell you why you may encounter such a problem in the process of installing a router. As a rule, there is only one reason. Most people, after buying a router just connect to it the Internet (cable from an Internet service provider, or ADSL modem), well, and even in the best case do some Wi-Fi network settings. But, when installing a router, the main thing is to configure it to work with your Internet provider.

It is because the router simply can not connect to the Internet, to your ISP, and the Internet does not work. In some cases, the internet continues to work on only one computer that is connected to the router via a network cable. Again, this is because the router is not set up and the computer connects to the internet by itself, simply through the router.

Yes, if your Internet provider uses Dynamic IP connection technology, then in such cases, problems when the Internet does not work through the router, it is very rare. As a rule, there are other reasons (for example, binding by MAC address). But if you do not have a Dynamic IP, but for example PPPoE, L2TP, PPTP, or static IP, then the router must be configured. Otherwise, it simply will not be able to receive Internet from your ISP, and will not be able to distribute it to your devices. Computers will be connected, but “No Internet Access” in Windows 7, or “Restricted” in Windows 8 and Windows 10. On mobile devices, TVs, game consoles, etc., the Internet will simply not work. And all because the router is not configured, or configured incorrectly. And here it does not matter what kind of router you have: Tp-Link, Asus, D-Link, Zyxel, etc.

Separately, I want to note the wi-fi network. Many people think that if my router gives out wi-fi, then the Internet should already work, because there is a wireless network. It is not so. Immediately after turning on the router, it understandably begins to broadcast a Wi-Fi network. But, since the router is not connected to the Internet, it can not give out the Internet on wi-fi. On this topic, there is a very detailed article: router does not give out internet over wi-fi. What to do?

If the Internet does not work through the router on your computer and other devices

Some useful tips and links:

• Before you set up your router, you need to know what type of connection your ISP uses so that you can specify it in the settings. And the necessary data for connection (login, password). If you have a Dynamic IP, you don’t need anything there. If you specify everything correctly, but it doesn’t work (if you connect directly to the computer, everything works), then check whether your ISP does not make binding by MAC address. I think you will find this article useful.
• It is best to configure the router according to the detailed instructions for your model, or at least according to the instructions for the manufacturer of your router (as a rule, everything is very similar there). See instructions for different manufacturers on our website.
• Be sure to read the article: when setting up the router writes “No Internet access”, or “Limited” and no connection to the Internet. It is like a continuation of this article. There I showed in detail how to configure the Internet on different routers. And another article on the same topic, only on Tp-Link routers: /tp-link/who-sons-the-tp-link-router-not-give-out-the-internet-via-wi-fi/.
• If you have a high-speed connection on your computer that you run to connect to the Internet, it is no longer needed. Your router, once configured, will automatically connect to your ISP.
• If you have any questions like this, feel free to call your ISP support and tell them that you are setting up your router and the internet is not working through your router. Good support will definitely help you, or even set up the router with you in phone mode.

As you can see, it all comes down to the fact that you just need to carefully, and correctly configure the router. Make friends with your ISP. Then it will connect to the Internet and share it with all your devices via Wi-Fi and cable.
