Seamless connection: Detailed explanation of AC1200 dual-band router settings

The steps to set up the AC1200 dual-band wireless router are as follows:

Connect to the router:

Connect your AC1200 dual-band wireless router to the modem provided by your Internet service provider via a network cable.

Make sure the router is powered on, and use your mobile phone or computer to connect to the router's Wi-Fi network, or use a network cable to connect to the router's LAN port.

Login settings page:

Enter the router's IP address (usually 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1) into your browser's address bar, then enter the default username and password (usually admin) to log in to the router's management interface.

Set up the router:

In the "Network Settings" menu, select the Internet access method provided by your Internet service provider (such as dynamic IP, static IP or PPPoE, etc.), and then enter the corresponding parameters.

In the "Wireless Settings" menu, set the router's wireless network name (SSID) and password, select an appropriate channel to avoid interference with other nearby wireless networks, and configure the firewall function and MU-MIMO function as needed.

Save Settings:

After completing the above configuration, click the "Save" button and the router will reboot to apply the new configuration.

Test network connection:

After restarting the router, you can test whether the network connection is working properly.

In addition, you can also make some optimization settings, such as regularly upgrading the firmware, regularly cleaning the cache, adjusting the wireless channel and power, enabling or disabling the firewall function, etc., to improve the performance and security of the router.

Please note that different brands of routers may have slightly different setup interfaces and options, but the overall setup steps are similar and need to be adjusted based on actual usage.

Wireless router selection tips

1. Easy to use

When purchasing a router, be sure to pay attention to the instructions related to the router, or ask the merchant whether it provides web interface management, otherwise there may be difficulties in configuration or maintenance. And now the maintenance interfaces of many routers are all in Chinese, making the interface more user-friendly and making the operation easier.

2. Number of LAN ports

The LAN port is the local area network port. Since the number of home computers is limited, the number of LAN ports only needs to be able to meet the demand. Too many LAN ports are just a waste for the family and will increase unnecessary expenses.

3. Number of WAN ports

The WAN port is the broadband network port, which is the wide area network interface used to connect to the Internet. Usually in a home broadband network, only one WAN port is needed to meet the demand, and there is no need to spend extra money to purchase a router with multiple WAN ports.

4. Bandwidth allocation method

You need to understand the bandwidth allocation method of the LAN port of the router you purchased. Generally speaking, the router's exclusive bandwidth allocation method is more suitable for home networks, rather than the shared bandwidth allocation method, which will affect the internal transmission speed of the LAN.

5. Applicable functions

Many broadband routers offer various features such as firewall, dynamic DNS, website filtering, DHCP, virtual dial-up, etc. When choosing, you should consider whether you need these functions based on actual needs to avoid spending extra money for functions that are rarely used.
