The windows that appear require you to specify a username and password. By default, in both cases, the word admin is entered for Asus devices, if the login / password has not been changed. In the latter case, the changed data is indicated.

A window will appear on the monitor where the interface language is set at the top of the page.

Connecting to the Internet manually using the example of some providers

The Internet connection is the main part that allows the modem to receive and send traffic. For correct adjustment, you need to carefully read the general information. Each of the existing providers uses one of several types of connection:

  • PPPoE.
  • L2TP.
  • DHCP.

This data is indicated in WAN (first menu item). After authorization, the next steps are identical. General operating algorithm – WAN; Internet connection (here you must indicate the type of connection). Next you need to follow the instructions. If any information to fill out is unknown, you should call the provider.


Dom.Ru, Rostelecom

To configure these providers in the WAN, you need to specify the following parameters:

  1. Select PPPoE connection type.
  2. Set up automatic acquisition of an IP address and automatic connection to DNS.
  3. Specify the login and password issued by the provider.
  4. In the “Hostname” field, enter rostelecom.
  5. Click "Apply".


"Beeline"

The Beeline provider uses an L2TP Internet connection. To connect G32, fill in the following items:

  • Automatic IP acquisition.
  • Enter the login and password issued by Beeline.

  • To protect access to the "grid", enable "Hide SSID", in which case the name of the access point will be known only to those in the know.
  • Select WPA Personal from the Authentication Method menu. In the “Encryption” line, select TKIP. These protection methods are currently the most modern, reliable and common.
  • In the “Pre-shared key” line, specify the password for authorization on the network. The combination must contain at least 8 characters using any characters. It is recommended to set a password that is difficult for third parties to guess. In this case, there will be maximum protection against hacking for fans of free Wi-Fi. At this point you can change your password in the future.
  • Click "Apply".

When the adjustment is done, you need to reboot Asus and check the connection of the router to the network.

Setting up Asus RT in repeater (repeater) mode

A repeater is a device required to increase the range of a network. Many modern modems are capable of operating in repeater mode. You can configure it for Asus by following the algorithm:

It is important to note that in repeater mode it is impossible to change the values ​​at 192.168.1.1. This is due to the fact that the G32 router assigns a certain IP address to the repeater. There are three ways to access the Asus control panel:

To return the repeater to normal operation, you need to go to the "Administration" tab, select the "Wireless Router" item and click "Save". The window indicates the new network name and password, after which the Asus RT-G32 will reboot.

In the additional settings of the G32, access to IP television is established. In the WAN menu, select the port to which the TV is connected, set a dynamic IP address. These changes must be saved by clicking the "Apply" button.

Then turn on the TV and check its functionality. If the image is not visible, it means:

  1. The provider does not provide such a service.
  2. The Asus G32 modem settings do not match the TV settings.
  3. Requires a special connection type.

DHCP

This technology does not require any additional data, the only point is to indicate the connection. To do this, go to the WAN and select the “Dynamic IP” connection type.

Security Settings

The Asus RT router has additional security features:


This data allows you to safely work on the Internet and implement parental control.

Printer setup

There is no direct printer connection for the G32, only network printers with IP are allowed to connect.

Setting up DLNA on the router

DLNA provides access to audio, video, and photo files for a TV that supports this server. If the model has a USB connector, then you need to connect a drive to the USB connector that will be accessed from the TV. Then you need to go to the settings of the Asus G32 router at 192.168.1.1, specify the username and login. In the “General” menu, select “USB Application” and then “File/Media Server”.

In the “Media server” item, the On switch is set next to the Enable DLNA Media Server item. After that, click the “Apply” button.

To enable access from a computer, smartphone or other device, go to the "Network Neighborhood" tab, set On opposite "Allow sharing a resource". After these steps, the drive connected to the Asus G32 will appear in the Explorer in the "Network" window.

Basic mistakes when setting up the RT-G32 router
