This article provides a comprehensive guide to configuring routers for various network environments. It covers basic configuration, advanced settings, and troubleshooting common issues.
Basic Router Configuration
Accessing the Router Interface: Typically, you access the router interface through a web browser using its IP address (e.g., 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1). Refer to your router's documentation for specific instructions.
Login Credentials: Use the default username and password (often "admin" and "password") initially. Change these immediately for security reasons.
Network Settings: Configure the router's IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS server addresses.
Wireless Settings: Set up the wireless network name (SSID) and password.
