Lan connection of smart box 4k with a router. SmartBox Pro - WiFi router from Beeline. Characteristics of the router from Beeline

The Beeline Smart Box router is one of the devices offered by the provider for connecting to the Internet. This means wired access to the network, so the purchase of a SIM card is not required. Slots for it on board the gadget are not provided. Reviews about the device highlight the supporters and opponents of the device. The latter is a large percentage, which is explained by the shortcomings of the router itself and the incompetence of users who do not know how to set up Smart Box if the settings are lost, which is typical for any configurable wired and wireless network gadget.

Common features of Smart Box Router

Like its brothers, the Smart Box router is designed to create a single network between several computers and distribute Wi-Fi. The device is equipped with:

• Wi-Fi module for wireless traffic transmission;
• 4 inputs for wired network connection.

The Beeline Smart model is ergonomic and designed in a strict business style. The color is black or white. A WiFi router is a flat small box that can be installed on a stand or attached to surfaces such as a wall. The glossy indicator panel is made of plastic with built-in bright LEDs that shrill rooms in the dark. The wire connection ports are located at the rear of the device. The complete set of the device contains detailed instructions with a description of its characteristics, as well as with detailed recommendations for setting up the router.

Smart Box Specifications

4 LAN connectors are offered for a similar number of devices. In the line with the LAN, the fifth main WAN connector is located, which serves to connect the gadget itself to the Internet supplied cellular operator Beeline. A cable pre-installed by the provider's specialists is inserted into the WAN. Wai-Fai is joined by:

• laptops;
• personal computers with a Wi-Fi module;
• smartphones;
• tablets;
• Wi Fi printers;
• wireless IP cameras.

The instructions do not indicate how many devices can be connected via Wi-Fi. Some sources point to the number 16, others claim it is 32. Wired traffic is fed at 100 Mbps. Wireless reaches 300.

The manufacturer has provided 3 protection algorithms. The maximum security cipher is provided by WPA2. WPA and WEP are considered less secure. Router Beeline Smart Box Black will delight fans of digital multichannel television, as it supports IPTV. Thanks to the installed USB connector for connecting drives, the device can be used as a file server. Beeline Smart Van router modules do not allow connecting a wired printer to it. But there is a drive mode.

Installation and configuration of the router is carried out by Beeline specialists. It is advisable to independently figure out how to connect and configure the device. Judging by the reviews, the need to configure Smart Box Pro arises quite often. To connect, use the Web interface that appears on the display after connecting the computer and Beeline Smart Box One. The launch of the browser is accompanied by the set 192.168.1.1. (Device address). Login and password are traditionally used to activate the connection.

To configure SmartBox, you can use the "Settings Wizard" program from the provider. A simple and understandable panel, thanks to the instructions, can be customized even by a child. An accessible description of where to click allows, in the event of a failure of the specified parameters, to return them to their original position without the involvement of specialists. The main advantages of the router: ease of use, devices are easily connected, the characteristics of the device make it stand out from the majority of analogues. The cost of the router together with the connection is 2,500 rubles. It is sold in the communication shops of the provider.

Of the shortcomings highlighted by users in the reviews, there are often mentions of periodic disconnections and unplanned reboots of the router. They speak unpleasantly about the narrow range of Wi-Fi and its gradual narrowing, which appears after some time.

At the moment, you are given a wonderful opportunity to purchase a new router from Beeline called Smart Box. It can connect via USB ports (including USB 2.0) flash drives and also supports Wi-Fi up to 300Mbps. Inside this device, everything is also pretty decent: high-quality stuffing with a Realtek 8197D chip, with RAM 64 MB, and, of course, the N-standard Wi-Fi module. That is, in addition to high, you will also get fast device performance.

However, this Beeline router has several disadvantages: - high price (in my opinion) - 1800 rubles; - the presence of two MIMO antennas for internal design; - periodic freezing and sometimes instability in work (as they say in the reviews on the official website of Beeline). Summing up, I would like to note that the router, in general, is good. And about all its shortcomings, with the exception of the first two, they may be corrected when updating the firmware for the router.

Now let's go directly to the main goal of this article: how to set up a router from Beeline?

You can connect to the device for the first time both via WI-Fi (the network identifier is Smart_box-XXXXXX, where XXXXXX are unique numbers for each of the Beeline routers; no password is required), or via a cable. We also need the web interface address: http://192.168.1.1, the network address: 192.168.1.1 and the password with the username that match here (enter admin).

Setting up a Smart Box from Beeline is as follows:

Go to the web interface window, click: Continue and enter the password and username specified above. By clicking next, we get the automatically opened page. We click on the quick setup and go, thereby, to a new page of the settings itself. We enter all the parameters indicated there: - where is the login, write the number of the signed contract; - where is the password, we indicate the password that was given to you upon connection.

Let's go to the next menu: Wi-Fi network of the router and write something invented by you instead of the network name, and in the column: password - we fantasize any sequence of characters, the length of which should be more than 8 characters. Also set a password on the guest Wi-Fi, otherwise everyone around you will constantly "steal" the Internet from you. If you want Beeline TV to be connected, then select the required LAN port, into which the set-top box will then be connected to watch IP-TV. Remember to save all the settings you made and reload the page to reboot your router.

How to set up Wi-Fi on Smart Box?

Open the web interface window again and go to the advanced settings section. In the menu that opens automatically, click on Wi-Fi, and in the menu on the left, click on: Basic parameters to adjust them. Here you can choose a mixed mode of operation: b / g / n mixed or b / g, or choose only n or g.

If there are also wireless networks in the place where you connect, then instead of channel 6, I advise you to choose automatic mode. In addition, in the same menu, you can turn off the guest Wi-Fi network. Don't forget to save your settings.

Now let's take care of the security of your connection. We go there in the section: Security and in the field of the authentication parameter enter: WPA2-PSK. If your wireless devices do not have the ability to support, then install WPA-PSK. We save the parameters and reload the page.

The next point in this article is port forwarding to the Beeline Smart Box. To do this, as in previous times, open the web interface window, but this time select the advanced settings. There we go to the menu: Others, and then to NAT, Application Support. Either choose from the list of applications, or set your service (by pressing the appropriate button). If you chose the latter, then in the column: - name - enter the name of the application, for which we are opening, in fact, the port; - type - mark the required transport protocol; - start and end ports - write the required port or port interval. As in the previous times, we are saved.

A little tip: If you did everything as described in the previous paragraph, but after checking it turned out that the port is closed, then transfer your computer to the DMZ. To do this, you need to go to the web interface, then to advanced settings, click on the button: others and select NAT (as with port forwarding). But here we select the DMZ Host, where we enter the IP address of your computer. If it does not work, despite this, then turn off the antivirus, firewall and all other programs responsible for the security of the computer, and check again.

Beeline (formerly Bee Line GSM) is a well-known telecommunications brand that is the third largest wireless operator in Russia and the second largest provider of general telecommunications services. For more than 20 years the company has been successfully operating not only in Russia, but also far beyond its borders: Armenia, Georgia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Vietnam, Laos and Australia - these countries also have numerous Beeline subscribers.

Beeline is not only a provider of high-quality cellular communications, but also high-speed Internet for smartphones, tablets, computers and other smart gadgets. Internet speed is constantly increasing and since 2013 it has reached a completely new level. These services now require more efficient equipment.

Beeline Smartbox is a branded device that will allow you to combine several computers, mobile devices and even SMART TVs into a single local network and provide them with Internet access. In this article we will get acquainted with setting up a Smart Box router from TM Beeline.

Smart Box Beeline is a Wi-Fi enabled router, which is manufactured in Taiwan by Sercomm by order of Beeline. This device has support for wired multicast IPTV and a network storage option. Having such a device at home, you can use the Internet on 10 devices simultaneously, without loss of signal quality and speed. You can create a closed network and establish a highly secure Internet connection.

The technical characteristics of the Beeline Smart Box model are quite impressive:

• This is a Wi-Fi router that works according to the 802.11b / g / n standard;
• Signal transmission speed - up to 300 Mbps;
• Reference board - Realtek 8197D;
• Operating modes - DHCP client, static IP, L2TP, IPoE;
• 1 USB port - version 2.0;
• LAN connectors - 4 pieces;
• Current software version: 2.0.19 (14Mb).

Smart Box Beeline routers have a USB port, which means that you can connect external drives to it and share them over your local network.

Today Beeline offers its users four models of Smart Box wireless routers:

• Dual-band SmartBox TURBO + (3.6 thousand rubles);
• Dual-band SmartBox ONE (2.5 thousand rubles);
• 5GHz SmartBox PRO (5.9 thousand rubles);
• 2.4GHz Beeline SmartBox (2.5 thousand rubles).

Device connection

To connect the Beeline Smart Box Wi – Fi router, you need to decide which connection you want to establish:

• Wired;
• Wi-Fi.

The first option is more convenient to use for initial connection. To do this, install the cable, which the Beeline operator has brought into your apartment, into the extreme slot of the router marked "WAN". After that, use a fiber-optic cable (patch cord) to connect the router to your computer: one end of the cord must be installed into one of the four connectors of the router marked LAN, the other end into the PC's network card.

To configure the operation of the router via Wi-Fi, the router will need to be connected only to the provider's cable (via the WAN connector) and already on the computer start a search for new equipment.

Setting process

We will configure Smart Box through a web browser on a computer. After connecting all the cables, turn on the computer, launch the browser and type the combination "192.168.1.1" in its address bar. This is the IP address of your device on the local network. You can see this data on back wall your Wi – Fi router. It also contains a username and password, which we will also need for further configuration.

The first time you enter the configurator, you will see a welcome window. Click the button "Continue", and a new window will open in front of you, in which you will need to enter your username and password. By default, all Beeline subscribers have admin / admin.

Now you need to activate the menu button "Quick setup"... The configuration form is quite simple, each section has its own tips, but even without them, everything is intuitive. Here you will need to enter the following data:

for home internet:

• Login is the number of your contract with the provider;
• Password - a combination for Internet access, which was determined by the provider.

for the Wi – Fi network of the router:

• Network name - create a name for your Wi – Fi connection (SSID);
• Password - come up with a secret cipher for entering the Wi-Fi network (from 8 characters).

for a guest Wi – Fi network (optional):

• Set the same parameters for the guest wireless network of your router.

for the Beeline-TV service (optional):

• These are the television settings (here you will indicate the number of the LAN connector into which you will connect the TV receiver).

Save the entered data and wait for the equipment to apply the new settings to its work. That's the whole process of setting up the router, now you have the Internet in your house.

If you do not want the wires to spoil the appearance of your home, you can establish a wireless connection, but for this, your PC or laptop must have a built-in or separately purchased Wi-Fi adapter:

1. Turn on the Wi-Fi function on your laptop (or PC).
2. Open the menu "Control Panel".
3. Find the item in it "Network connections".
4. Go to the section "Wireless network connection" and select the network you want to connect to.

Today all new routers can operate in two frequency modes:

• At a frequency of 2.4 GHz;
• At 5 GHz.

The first option is more common, but many devices work at this frequency, so there may be interference in the network. Almost no one uses the 5 GHz frequency, it has a slightly shorter range, but the signal purity and speed is higher .

After you have selected the desired channel, you will need to enter the login and password for the secure Wi-Fi network and save all the changes made.

The operator's website has three special detailed instructions on connecting a computer, mobile devices or SmartTV to the Wi – Fi network of the router - https://moskva.beeline.ru/customers/help/home/domashniy-internet/instrukcii-dlya-mob-ustroistv/

Now let's get acquainted with the instructions for setting up a Wi-Fi network on a Beeline Smart Box router:

1. In the address bar of the browser, enter the IP address of your device - "192.168.1.1".
2. In the menu that opens, select the item "Advanced settings".
3. At the top of the window, find the bookmark "Wi-Fi" and go to this menu.
4. In the glory navigation list, select "Main settings".
5. Opposite the line "Turn on wireless network (Wi-Fi)" there should be a checkbox.
6. Below you can make any changes to the basic parameters of the router's wireless network (operating mode, select a separate channel number, disable the guest Wi-Fi network).

Save all the changes and go to the next section of the "Wi-Fi" tab - "Safety"... At this stage, you can set the maximum safe type Encryption: Set the authentication value to WPA2-PSK. Save these changes and restart the program.

Please note that if your apartment has appliances that do not support the WPA2 Wireless Certification Program, then the default authentication value is WPA-PSK.

WPA is the 802.1X standard and WPA2 is referred to as the IEEE 802.11i standard. Since 2006, all Wi-Fi devices have been released with WPA2 support.

Smart Box firmware

To download the update, you only need to follow five steps:

1. In the address bar of your web browser, type the IP address of your router - "192.168.1.1".
2. Go to the menu "Advanced settings".
3. At the top of the window, find the bookmark "Other", and in the navigation menu on the left - the section "Update".
4. Specify the path where the file with the new firmware is located and click the button "Perform update".
5. Wait for the end of the boot procedure and automatic reboot of the equipment.

Starting with firmware version "2.0.25" smartboxes have the ability to work with 3G modems in Wi-Fi mode.

Smart Box Beeline router can work with other Internet providers. If the new operator provides Internet network services using DHCP or uses the PPPoE network protocol, the equipment setting can be easily changed in the user account.

Note.

The Beeline provider, in order to keep up with others, decided to release its own router, in which the connection to the networks this operator configurable with a couple of clicks. The router offered under the name Smart Box is built on the basis of the unified Realtek 8197D processor and is equipped with 64 MB of memory.

In fact, all claims that may be about the operation of this device relate more to the firmware. We hope it will be fixed soon. Let's consider how the proprietary Beeline router needs to be configured, and also how to update the firmware in it.

Router "Beeline Smart Box"

On the back panel, in addition to the standard set of ports and the power button, you can see the mode switch. Router mode is activated when the toggle switch is in the up position. The second mode is "switch".

We will look at how to set up a connection with a Beeline provider. To do this, you can connect a computer to the router via a patch cord or wirelessly (which works in mixed mode b / g / n, it is named “Smart_box-…”). Finally, we will discuss how to update the firmware. The firmware version current at the time of the review is 2.0.19.

Setting up the connection

To the WAN port, as you can easily understand, you need to connect the "Beeline" cord connector. You can access the router's web interface from a wired or Wi-Fi network (the latter works without a password).

The actions should be as follows: after connecting all the cables, supply power to the router, wait 1 minute, open the web interface. Requirement for configuring a network card - set the "automatic" mode:

Setting up a wired connection on your computer

On wireless cards, they also include a similar mode ("auto" DNS and IP). The values ​​of the parameters that are needed to open the web interface are given below.

How do I open the GUI?
