Сегодня мы будем настраивать двухдиапазонный маршрутизатор TP-LINK Archer C7. Если вы уже приобрели этот роутер, и хотите быстрее его подключить и настроить, то переходите к следующему подзаголовку. А я напишу еще несколько слов об этом роутере для тех, кто только выбирает роутер и задумался о покупке модели Archer C7.

TP-LINK Archer C7 – это отличная модель маршрутизатора для частного дома, квартиры, и даже офиса. Когда у вас много разных устройств, вы хотите без проблем играть в онлайн игры, смотреть видео и т. д. И при этом не знать, что такое постоянные обрывы интернет-соединения, проседание пинга, падение скорости и тому подобное.

Это мощный маршрутизатор, в котором есть все современные фишки, о которых я так часто вспоминал в статье советы по выбору Wi-Fi роутера для дома, или квартиры. А именно: поддержка Wi-Fi 5 GHz (802.11ac), и два USB-порта. Этот маршрутизатор будет актуальным еще длительное время. Ну и цена для такого функционала вполне хорошая. Немного больше ста долларов.

Так как у нас здесь инструкция по настройке Archer C7 (AC1750), а не обзор и описание технических характеристик, то более подробную информацию по этой модели я напишу на отдельной странице. А сейчас мы займемся подключением этого маршрутизатора, и его настройкой.

У меня TP-LINK Archer C7 аппаратной версии v2. Поставил я последнюю прошивку, почему-то думал, что будет уже новая, голубая панель управления. Но нет, осталась зеленная. Мне кажется, что новая страница с настройками будет уже с третей аппаратной версии. Рассмотрим настройку еще на старой версии web-интерфейса. Если у вас новая прошивка, то смотрите для примера инструкцию по настройке TP-LINK Archer C8.

Если вы хотите настраивать маршрутизатор по Wi-FI с мобильного устройства (планшета), то советую делать это через приложение TP-LINK Tether. Так же, в комплекте идет диск с утилитой для быстрой настройки. Вот инструкция по настройке роутера с диска.

Как подключить роутер TP-LINK Archer C7?

Достаточно подключить адаптер питания, в WAN-порт (он синий и подписан Ethernet) подключаем интернет, и с помощью кабеля, который вы найдете в комплекте, соединяем роутер с компьютером. Должно получится примерно так:

Подключение роутера TP-Link Archer C7

Включаем питание маршрутизатора, и с компьютера, к которому подключились, нужно зайти в настройки. К маршрутизатору так же можно подключится по Wi-Fi сети. Вся заводская информация (название Wi-Fi сетей, пароль к Wi-Fi, адрес для входа в настройки, стандартные имя пользователя и пароль) указаны снизу маршрутизатора, на наклейке.

Заводские параметры роутера Archer C7

Открываем любой браузер, и переходим по адресу tplinklogin.net (192.168.0.1 так же работает). Вводим имя пользователя и пароль. По умолчанию это admin и admin.

Вход в настройки TP-Link Archer C7

Откроются настройки маршрутизатора, где мы сможем задать все необходимые параметры. Настроить интернет и Wi-Fi сеть.

Настройка TP-LINK Archer C7

Нам главное настроить интернет, настроить Wi-Fi сеть, и поставить пароль. Сделать это можно на разных вкладках в панели управления. А можно воспользоваться мастером быстрой настройки. Что мы и сделаем.

Слева переходим на вкладку «Быстрая настройка», и нажимаем кнопку «Далее».

Быстрая настройка роутера TP-LINK

Сейчас внимание! Если у вас сразу появится окно с настройкой Wi-Fi, то это значит, что подключение к интернету настроилось автоматически (скорее всего, у вас подключение «Динамический IP»). Просто прокрутите страницу немного ниже, и продолжайте настройку беспроводной сети.

Но, скорее всего, нужно будет задать параметры для подключения к интернет провайдеру. Первый способ, выбрать свою страну, регион и интернет-провайдера из списка (такой возможности может не быть на более старых версиях прошивки). Если вы не найдете своего провайдера, то поставьте галочку возле пункта «Я не нашел подходящих настроек». И нажмите «Далее».

Настройка интернета на роутере TP-Link Archer C7

Нужно выделить тот тип подключения, который использует ваш интернет-провайдер (Динамический IP-адрес, Статический IP-адрес, PPPoE, L2TP, PPTP). Если не знаете, то лучше уточнить у поддержки провайдера. Так же, можно посмотреть на официальном сайте, или посмотреть в договоре о подключении. Там же должны быть указаны необходимые данные для подключения: имя пользователя, пароль (если они нужны).

Если вы выберите «Динамический IP-адрес», то нужно будет только указать, есть ли привязка по MAC-адресу, или нет. Если есть, то клонируем MAC-адрес с компьютера. Если нет, то интернет сразу заработает.

Я выбрал например PPPoE. Нажимаем «Далее» и продолжаем настройку.

Настройка подключения PPPoE

Появится окно, в котором нужно указать имя пользователя и пароль (их выдает провайдер). А если у вас L2TP, или PPTP, то нужно будет еще указать сервер. Нажимаем «Далее».

Настройка подключения WAN на Archer C7

Если все правильно, то появится окно с настройкой Wi-Fi сети. Точнее, окно, в котором нужно выбрать, на какой частоте вы хотите использовать Wi-Fi сеть. Можно выбрать только 2,4 ГГц, или 5 ГГц. Или же использовать одновременно оба диапазона. Выберите нужный пункт, и нажмите «Далее». Я выбрал «Одновременно 2,4 ГГц и 5 ГГц (802.11a/b/g/n/ac)». Это значит, что роутер будет транслировать две Wi-Fi сети на разных частотах.

Настройка диапазона Wi-Fi 2,4 ГГц, или 5 ГГц

Дальше появится окно, в котором нужно задать имя для Wi-Fi сети, выбрать свой регион, и указать пароль, который будет использоваться для подключения к Wi-Fi. Если вы выбрали «2,4 ГГц и 5 ГГц», то появится два окна, для каждой частоты отдельно.

Настройка Wi-Fi сети 2,4 ГГц на TP-Link Archer C7

Ну и настройка беспроводный сети на частоте 5 ГГц.

Настройка Wi-Fi на частоте 5 ГГц

Видим окно с сообщением, что настройка завершена, и интернет работает. Нажимаем на кнопку «Перезагрузить».

Перезагрузка Archer C7 (AC1750) после настройки

Интернет через маршрутизатор работает, название Wi-Fi сети сменили, пароль поставили. Вот и все настройки. Советую еще сменить заводской пароль admin, который используется для защиты настроек маршрутизатора.

Настройка Wi-Fi сети 5 ГГц на роутере Archer C7 (AC1750)

Так как этот маршрутизатор у нас двухдиапазонный, то он может транслировать две Wi-Fi сети на разных частотах: 2,4 ГГц и 5 ГГц. Если в процессе настройки вы например включили только одну частоту, а нужно две, или наоборот, то все это можно сменить в настройках. Так же, отдельно можно сменить название сети и пароль для каждой сети (на каждой частоте).

В панели управления перейдите на вкладку «Выбор рабочей частоты». Там можно указать, на какой частоте роутер будет транслировать беспроводную сеть.

Выбор рабочей частоты 2,4 ГГц и 5 ГГц

Затем, переходим на вкладку с настройками нужной нам Wi-Fi сети. Например, на «Беспроводной режим – 5 ГГц».

Archer C7 (AC1750): настройка Wi-Fi 5 ГГц

Там уже можно посмотреть, либо сменить необходимые параметры. Все просто и понятно.

Если у вас остались какие-то вопросы по настройке Archer C7, то вы можете оставить их в комментариях. Я показал основные настройки, которые нужно задать для правильной работы маршрутизатора. Но, есть еще много разных функций, которые могут вам пригодится. Например: настройка IPTV, FTP сервера, гостевая сеть и т. д. У нас на сайте есть отдельные инструкции по настройке этих функций. Смотрите в разделе «TP-LINK», или воспользуйтесь поиском по сайту. Всего хорошего!

The factory default wireless password is printed on the label of the extender.

If the password has been altered, please connect your computer to the extender using

an Ethernet cable and follow the steps below:

1. Visit http://tplinkrepeater.net, and log in with the password you set for the extender.

2. Go to Settings > Wireless > Wireless Settings to retrieve or reset your wireless

password.

Q4. What should I do if I cannot access the web management page?

This can happen for a variety of reasons. Please try the following to log in again.

If your computer is wirelessly connected, make sure that you have connected to the

extender’s SSID.

If your computer is connected via an Ethernet cable, please make sure that the

connection is stable.

Make sure your computer is set to obtain an IP address and DNS server address

automatically.

Verify that http://tplinkrepeater.net or http://192.168.0.254 is correctly entered in the

web browser and press Enter.

Use the IP address to access the extender. The default IP is 192.168.0.254. If the

extender is connected to the router, you should go to your router’s DHCP client list to

obtain the extender’s current IP address.

Reset the extender and try again.

Q5. I have enabled wireless MAC filter, wireless access control, or access

control list (ACL) on my router. What should I do before configuring

33

the extender?

When a device connects through the extender to your router, the MAC address of the

device shown on the router is translated to another MAC address. If your router’s MAC

filter, wireless access control, or ACL is enabled, the devices connected to the extender

cannot get an IP address from the extender and cannot access the internet.

To solve this problem, please follow the steps below:

1. Log in to your router and disable the MAC filter, wireless access control or ACL.

Note: For more information about how to disable your router’s MAC filter, wireless access control or ACL,

please refer to your router’s user guide.

2. Power on your extender, and run the Quick Setup to configure your extender.

3. Connect all of your devices to the extended network, and make sure the router’s Link

LED remains lit.

4. On your router, add all the Online Devices’ MAC addresses to your router’s MAC filter

table.

5. Enable the router’s MAC filter, wireless access control, or ACL to complete the

configuration.
