How to set up wired internet. How to independently connect cable Internet to a computer or laptop

There are two types of internet connection today. The first type - wired connection that uses a cable called twisted pair to connect. The second type is a Wi-Fi connection that provides an Internet connection using radio waves. Wi-Fi connection has become widespread in our time. However wired Internet has a number of advantages that are relevant in large organizations and offices. At home, it also makes sense to make a wired connection to at least one computer. For a stable internet connection and effective work connection settings must be configured correctly.

Benefits of a wired internet connection

Over the past 15 years, the Internet has rapidly penetrated into all spheres of our lives. It is necessary in banking, trade, manufacturing, and is also indispensable for the exchange of information and personal communication. The most common ways to connect to global network today are a wired connection and a Wi-Fi connection.

For a wired connection, use optical cable or twisted pair. The first type of cable has a significant advantage, as it provides information transfer rates up to 1 GB per second. Over twisted pair, the speed limit reaches 100 MB per second.

The speed of information transfer through the cable depends on its type and on the network card that receives the signal. This affects the operation of desktop computers, game consoles, TVs and other devices connected in one network. Streaming information does not require constant exchange between devices, which significantly increases the processing speed. The speed in a local connection between workstations is great importance when working in a corporate network. This is taken into account if there is a need for a quick transfer a large number information.

With a Wi-Fi connection, the connection to the Internet is carried out using radio waves operating in a certain range. Therefore, Wi-Fi is more in demand on household level. It is convenient because it allows you to immediately connect to the Internet from a smartphone, tablet or laptop anywhere where there is an access point. However, signal reception is affected by neighbor devices operating in the Wi-Fi connection frequency band and objects in the path of radio waves.

A Wi-Fi connection does not require cabling, but it is highly susceptible to radio interference, and the farther you are from the access point, the worse the signal reception

A wired connection has several advantages over wireless:

• the speed of receiving and sending information with a wired connection is about 2 times higher than that of Wi-Fi;
• when exchanging files with the server, the delay is minimal, which is important in online games that require top speed actions from the user;
• wired connection is more resistant to interference in the network; it is not affected by gadgets operating on the Wi-Fi frequency band or nearby sources of electromagnetic radiation;
• the signal strength with a wired connection does not depend on obstacles in the path of passage and the influence of external factors.

Errors that occur when connecting a wired connection can be indicated by codes that indicate the cause of the problem.

How to connect a cable to a computer or laptop

Even an unprepared user can connect an Internet cable to the computer's network adapter connector on their own. For connection, a standard cable (twisted pair) with crimped RJ-45 connectors on both ends of the cable is used.

You can connect the cable as follows:

1. Prepare network cable required length.
2. Connect one connector to any LAN port on the router.

   First, connect the cable connector to any LAN connector on the router

3. Connect the other connector of the cable to the laptop or computer connector.

   Now you need to connect the second cable connector to the computer's LAN connector

4. When using an older type of modem, connect the incoming ISP cable to the yellow Internet connector on the modem.

   In old-style modems, the provider's cable should be connected to the yellow modem connector

5. Connect the connecting LAN cable to any Ethernet port of the modem and to the network port of the device.

   The connecting cable from the device must be connected to the modem's Ethernet connector

6. After connecting the computer to the router, the indicator LED on the latter will light up, signaling the establishment of a connection between the devices.

   When connected to a computer, the indicator LED on the indicator panel of the router will be lit

Connecting the cable is not a big problem, since all connectors have connectors that fit only into the corresponding sockets on the computer's connector panel. It is extremely difficult to make a mistake in this process even for a novice user.

Dynamic and static internet connection

After connecting the cable connectors and building a connection between the computer's network adapter and the provider's equipment, you can debug the Internet connection. First of all, you need to choose a way to connect to the backbone network, based on specific goals. There are 2 connection methods:

• dynamic connection is a method in which an individual IP address assigned to a computer is configured automatically and changes when the initial settings are transformed. The equipment of the provider company independently assigns the values ​​of the network address and the default gateway to the computer. When connecting a computer to a trunk line, the connection to the global network occurs immediately, without requiring additional input of identification data from the user. The only inconvenience with such a connection is the possible representation of a remote connection to your address. In this case, you must first connect to the trunk line directly, bypassing the router;
• static connection is a connection method when the individual IP address provided to the computer remains constant and is indicated when concluding an agreement with the provider company. During such a connection, the user sets the address manually, and also independently prescribes the values ​​\u200b\u200bof the main gateway and DNS servers. If such information is not in the contract, then you can find it in the department technical support provider company. Some ISPs may require you to enter a username and password for online licensing. This information, as a rule, is indicated in contractual documents or is determined by the subscriber independently.

How to create a dynamic connection

To properly create a dynamic connection, you must perform a series of sequential steps:

1. From the Start key menu, navigate to Network Connections

2. In the "Settings" section that opens, in the "Change network settings" block, select "Configure adapter settings".

   In "Options" go to the option "Configure adapter settings"

3. In the Network Connections console, right-click on an Ethernet connection.
4. Select "Properties" from the menu that opens.

   Select "Properties" from the Ethernet connection drop-down menu

5. In the connection console, highlight the IP version 4 (TCP/IPv4) component and click Properties.

   In the properties panel, select the line IP version 4 (TCP / IPv4), and then open "Properties"

6. In the TCP/IPv4 Protocol Attribute Console, check the "Obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server address automatically" radio buttons.

   In the last step, activate the switches "Obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server address automatically"

7. Click OK to complete.

The dynamic connection is now ready to use.

How to create a static connection

To create a static connection, you need to follow these steps:

Everything, the static connection is established.

Currently, most home Internet subscribers use a dynamic connection, since the main method is to connect through a router. A static connection is used with a dial-up connection or a direct connection.

When using an ADSL modem connection, only static addresses assigned by the ISP are used.

How to set up an L2TP connection in Windows 10

The L2TP tunnel protocol used to connect to the global network is a symbiosis of the old PPTP protocols from Microsoft and L2F from Cisco. It is easily processed by network devices and has a high speed of information exchange due to reduced processor load. It has great connection stability and high security. Able to create tunnels to work in any networks. The L2TP protocol is usually used in corporate networks, as it allows you to create a network connection over an existing network. This provides a stable connection between the main office of the organization and regional offices.

The created L2TP connection increases the security level for the subscriber and makes it easier to connect to the provider's equipment.

How to set up a PPPoE connection in Windows 10

The PPPoE Internet network connection protocol is used when connecting to the backbone network using Ethernet technology. This method has a number of advantages, for example, an extended range of additional features, data compression during transmission, and authentication and encryption operations with information packets. Connection requires authorization on the network (entering a username and password). Used for direct connection to the backbone network and provider equipment.

To connect to the Internet using the PPPoE protocol, you need to perform a number of operations:

1. Open the Network and Sharing Center.
2. Here select "Create and configure a new connection or network".

   In the "Network and Sharing Center" section, click on "Create and configure a new connection or network"

3. In the "Set up a connection or network" console, select "Connect to the Internet" and click "Next".

   Select the first item - "Connect to the Internet" and click "Next" for further settings

Giving permission to other users to use the connection is only worthwhile when installing home Internet, since the number of users is limited.

Ways to troubleshoot wired internet connection problems

When connecting a wired Internet, errors periodically occur due to hardware problems, a break in the backbone network, or incorrect user actions. In most cases, connection problems arise due to the careless actions of the user himself.. To determine and fix the cause of the problem, you need to perform simple steps according to the following algorithm:

1. Launch "Network and Sharing Center".
2. In the "Network Connections" tab, select "Troubleshooting".

   Go to "Network and Sharing Center" and open the "Troubleshooting" section

3. Select Internet Connections.

   For further settings, select the "Internet Connections" option

4. Next, click on the "Run the troubleshooter" line.

   Wait for the problem detection process to complete

5. After the process is completed, in the window that appears, select the "Troubleshoot Internet Connection" tab.

   Select "Troubleshoot Internet Connection" and wait for the diagnostic process to complete

6. At the end of the troubleshooting process, close the console if no problems are found. If problems are found, follow the further instructions in the pop-up windows.

Run the troubleshooter by clicking on the appropriate line

7. After the verification process is completed, in the Incoming Connections console, select Find this computer on the network and click Next.

   Check the "Locate this computer on the network" box and continue troubleshooting with the "Next" button

8. The troubleshooter will check if the firewall is blocking this computer from the network.

   Wait for the network gateway configuration check to complete

9. During the troubleshooting process, follow the instructions that appear on the console.
10. If no problems are found, close the console.
11. If problems are found, follow the program instructions to fix them.

This completes the check for incoming connections.

The following instructions show the detection of one incoming connection problem. More detailed information about the problem can be found by clicking on the "View additional information" line.

The above method for finding connection errors is a classic and was developed by Microsoft specialists. In reality, everything is much simpler, since the problem with the Internet connection can be caused by other reasons that are eliminated mechanically.

This algorithm helps to fix the problem with no internet connection in most cases:

1. Restart your computer.
2. Disconnect the router from the network and wait 10-15 seconds.
3. Turn on the router.
4. If the connection is not restored, click on the Reset button to reboot the router.

To avoid problems with your Internet connection, it is recommended to periodically disconnect the router from the network and give it time to recover.

Nowadays, all ISPs prefer to establish a dynamic connection to the backbone network. This is more convenient for the network subscriber and for the provider company, since it does not require reconfiguration of parameters in case of any changes in the network equipment. If you plan to often use remote access to your computer, then, of course, it is better to choose a direct connection, bypassing a router or modem. For home Internet, you can always change the router settings and the type of connection that were originally installed by the provider's specialists. In the future, when the system configuration is changed or a complete reinstallation, the network parameters are set automatically. With a direct connection, the settings will need to be set manually. All this must be taken into account by users when choosing the type of Internet connection.

Today we will deal with the issue how to set up internet on a computer or laptop. As a rule, the Internet is configured by an employee of the provider at the moment when you conclude an agreement with him for the provision of services - after all, it is the correct access to the World Wide Web that is an indicator of the performance of this service. However, later when you reinstall Windows or purchase new computer Internet settings can fail, and here we will already face a dilemma - call technical support or do it yourself. In fact, this task is not at all difficult, so by reading this article to the end, you can save money more than once.

The most common type of connection is cable - a wire is pulled into your apartment with a special LAN connector at the end, which is inserted into the network card in the PC case. However, depending on the provider, there are several types of network connection. How to properly set up the Internet and how the connection to the World Wide Web occurs should be indicated in the papers of the contract that you were given when the employee initially set up the Internet. There are several of them - automatic IP, static IP, PPPoE, L2TP, filtered by MAC address. Let's consider them in order.

Internet setup automatically

I called this type automatic, because if the provider connects you using this type, then you are lucky - you don’t have to configure anything at all. With it, the computer receives an IP address on the network “by itself” - that is, we simply plug in an Ethernet cable and use the Internet. If it doesn’t work, then make sure that all configurations are reset - to do this, go to “Start> Control Panel> Network and Internet> Network and Sharing Center> Manage network connections> Change adapter settings”, right-click on “ Local Area Connection” and go to “Properties > Internet Protocol version TCP/IP v.4”. Here all values ​​​​should be set to "Automatic", as in the picture

Internet connection on a computer with authorization

In this fairly common type, or rather types, because there are two of them, you will have to sweat a little and create a connection with the handles and enter your login and password to set up an Internet connection. If you click on the desktop icon every time to enter the Internet, a connection window opens in which you click on the button - this is your case.

PPPoE

PPPoE - connection to the provider's servers occurs only by login and password. If you suddenly reinstalled Windows, then in order to restore the ability to exit to no, do the following:

1. Go to "Start > Control Panel"

   

2. further in "Networks and the Internet"

   

3. and in the "Network and Sharing Center"

   

4. Here, somewhere on the page (in the left column for Windows 7 or in the main window in Windows 8 and 10) we see the menu item "Set up a connection or network" - click on it

   

5. Here we select "Connect to the Internet" and click "Next"

   

6. Select "High Speed ​​(PPPoE)" and move on

   

7. We enter the login and password that the provider issued - they are usually indicated in the contract.

   

8. After that, we return to the "Network Sharing Center" and find the link "Change adapter settings" in the menu - we go through it.

   

9. We find "High-speed connection" - now it is in the "Disabled" state.

   

10. Double click on it, a window for authorization will open. Click the "Connect" button and enjoy! For convenience, this "High-speed connection" can be dragged with the mouse to the "Desktop", creating an icon with a quick link.

    

L2TP

L2TP is another type of Internet setup with authorization. To activate it, we do everything the same as in the previous method, up to step number 4 inclusive.

Connecting a laptop to the Internet with a static IP

The next type will not ask you to enter your login and password and click on the icons for the connection each time, but it does require manual entry of the IP address settings to connect to the provider's equipment. For the settings, we go through the chain “Start> Control Panel> Network and Internet> Network and Sharing Center> Manage network connections> Change adapter settings”, right-click on “Local Area Connection” and go to “Properties> Protocol Internet version TCP/IP v.4”.

And enter in the IP address and DNS server fields the values ​​\u200b\u200bthat the provider provided.

Filtering by MAC address

And finally, for any of the above types, the provider can apply filtering by MAC address. This means that you can only connect to the Internet on the computer that is registered with the provider. Insert the cable into another one and the Internet will disappear. This byaka usually appears at the moment when you bought a new computer (or network card), brought it home, but the Internet does not plow. To be honest, I don’t understand at all why some of our “friends” do such garbage, but if this is the case, then you can activate access to the network only by calling the support service and saying that you bought a new PC.

That's all for today - I'm sure that you now know exactly how to connect the Internet to your computer and you can 100% do it yourself!

The value of a laptop as a mobile device lies in its ability to be used independently of external hardware. This rule also applies to the Internet.

However, a cable connection to the World Wide Web is also in demand when using mobile devices due to the stability and high speed of such a connection.

Providers provide various options (protocols) for connecting to the Internet. Their advantages and disadvantages:

1. (issued upon connection) IP address (DHCP). It is used most often, because. very easy to set up and use.
2. Fixed (provider-issued) IP address. Stable when working with network devices, but less popular, because. requires tracking of IP addresses by the provider.
3. PPPoE (link layer connection). Under similar conditions, it works faster than PPTP/L2TP and is also easier to set up.
4. PPTP (point-to-point connection) and L2TP ("tunnel" connection). Usually used to obtain a "white" IP, less reliable and more sensitive to configure than PPPoE.

PPPoE is a protocol for DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) and cable modems. The L2TP and PPTP protocols are designed to work with VPNs (private networks) running "on top" of the Internet.

Important! Before connecting, it is important to read the contract concluded with the provider, which usually indicates the type of connection and the necessary settings. If this information is not in the contract, it is likely that a DHCP connection is being used.

Setting up a physical connection

So, the contract with the provider is concluded, the master laid the network cable and crimped the connector on it. First of all, you need to find a special port on the laptop where the cable will be connected. This connector is called RJ-45 and it is present on almost any device of this type.

Step 1. Insert the Internet cable (Ethernet, LAN cable) coming from the provider into the laptop connector until it clicks.

If you don't connect to the internet right away, an exclamation mark will appear on the network connection icon in notifications (bottom right) yellow color. This indicates that the network card and cable are connected, but the Internet has not yet been configured. A strikethrough on the icon indicates a network card conflict.

Note! If the network connection does not have any special notifications, go to "Connecting DHCP..." Step 5 and try to access the Internet. If the connection fails, go to Step 2 of this section.

Step 2 Press the key combination "Win + R" ("Win" is to the right of "Ctrl").

Step 3 Type "control" in the menu and click "OK".

Step 4 The "Control Panel" will open. If "Category" is selected, click on "View Network Status...".

If "Icons" is selected, click on "Network Sharing Center...".

Select "Icons" and click "Network Sharing Center..."

Step 5 Click "Change settings...".

If there is a corresponding icon in the Network Connections folder, then the card is functioning properly.

If the icon is missing, you will need to install or update its driver in the Device Manager.

The system will search for and install the device driver.

DHCP and fixed IP connection

Step 1. Go to the Network Connections folder ( see above Steps 2-5).

Step 2 If "Connecting..." status is "Disabled", click on it and select "Enable".

Step 3 Click on the connection icon. Click "Properties".

Step 4 Select IP Version 4. Click Properties.

Step 5 Open an Internet browser and type in the address bar the name of a site by pressing "Enter". If all steps are completed correctly, the Internet page will open.

Reference! If there is no connection to the worldwide network, you can call the provider's technical support and ask to see the settings from their side. After a while, the connection should appear.

PPPoE connection

Step 1. see above) click "Create and configure ...".

Step 2 Select "Connect to the Internet", click "Next".

Step 3 Click (...with PPPoE).

Step 4 Enter the "Name ..." and "Password" recorded in the contract. Click Connect.

Enter the "Name ..." and "Password" recorded in the contract and click "Connect"

PPTP connection

Step 1. In the "Network Control Center ..." ( see above) click "Create...".

Step 2 Click "Connect to Workplace". Click Next.

Step 4 Select "Delay...".

Step 5 In the "Internet address" specify the provider's server and check "Allow to use ...". Click "Create".

In the "Internet address" specify the provider's server, check "Allow to use ..." and click "Create"

Step 6 Enter the "Name" and "Password" given in the contract. Click "Create".

Step 7 Click "Close".

Step 8 In the Network Connections folder ( see above) click on the created VPN and select "Properties".

Step 9 In the "Security" tab, click "Tunnel Protocol...". Press OK.

In the "Security" tab, select "Tunnel protocol ..." and click "OK"

Step 10 In "Encryption..." select "optional". Press OK.

Step 11 Double click on the VPN connection, enter the password and name, click Connect.

Internet connection will be established.

L2TP connection

Step 1. Follow Steps 1-8 of the "Connecting PPTP" section.

Step 2 In the "Security" tab, in the "Type of VPN" set "L2TP protocol ...", and in the "Encryption ..." select "optional" from the drop-down list. Click "Advanced Options".

Step 3 Enter the provider key, click "OK".

Step 4 Click to open, enter username and password. Click "Connect".

Internet connection will be established.

Reference! You can connect and disconnect PPPoE, PPTP and L2TP by clicking on the network icon in the notification area, selecting "High speed connection" and clicking the corresponding button. For static and dynamic IP, these steps do not need to be performed.

Connecting to an Internet access point

Cable - a good idea, but sometimes it is necessary to use mobility to one hundred percent. In this case, connecting to an access point through the Wi-Fi radio module installed in the laptop will help.

Step 1. To activate the module, press one of the buttons F1 - F12 on the device keyboard, which has the image of "antenna". Sometimes pressing must be done in conjunction with Fn. Wi-Fi can also be turned on with a special switch.

Step 2 After turning on the module, click on the network icon and click "Connect" to the Wi-Fi network.

Step 3 Enter the password set for the access point and click OK.

Internet connection will be established.

Mobile Internet

The laptop can be used everywhere, and if the output is worldwide network needed where the options listed above are not available, a mobile Internet connection will help.

Today, many providers cellular communication provide an Internet connection via a USB modem.

To connect to mobile Internet, you need to purchase a USB modem and a SIM card with a special Internet tariff from a mobile provider. You can also use the SIM card from your own phone if the Internet service is activated on it.

Step 1. Insert the SIM card into the USB modem as shown in the example instruction.

Step 2 Plug the modem into the laptop's USB port.

Step 3 The installation of the Connect Manager program (MTS modem) will start. Click "Run".

Step 4 Wait for the installation of the software, following the prompts. After installing the program, click "Connect" to connect to the Internet.

Internet connection will be established.

Phone as a hotspot

Today you can access the Internet without even using a USB modem. For this purpose, a regular Android phone is also suitable.

Step 1. Open "Settings" - " Wireless networks" - "More". Select Modem Mode.

Step 2 Select "Access Point".

Step 3 Select "Settings...".

Step 4 Come up with a name, select a security option (for example, WPA2PSK) and a password for connecting to the phone (for WPA 2 - at least 8 characters). Click "Save".

Step 5 Refine the position of the network slider (should be “On”, see steps 1-2).

Now the Internet is available through the phone. The only drawback of such a connection is that the phone is discharged rather quickly, and it must be constantly recharged.

Video - Network cable is not connected. What to do if it is connected but not working

A laptop has long ceased to be a luxury - it is a tool for work, leisure and entertainment. Many have already managed to appreciate and fall in love with this wonderful device, for some it has become a full-fledged replacement for a desktop PC.

If you connect a laptop to the Internet, it will be able to reveal its potential even more. And it pleases. Today we will look at several options "how to connect a laptop to the Internet." Ready? Let's start.

Option 1. How to connect a laptop to the Internet using Wi-Fi.
This is one of the most simple ways connections. Most modern laptops are equipped with a Wi-Fi module. If you are in the coverage area of ​​a Wi-Fi network, you can connect in the following way:

• Turn on the Wi-Fi module on the laptop;
• We go Start / Connection, find and click Wireless network connection;
• Select the network to which we want to connect;
• Double click on the selected network - and we are connected. If the network is secure, you will need to enter a password (check with the network administrator/owner);
• When you establish a connection, you get full access to the Internet.

If there is no Wi-Fi module, it is possible to purchase and install a USB Wi-Fi miniature module that can become a full-fledged replacement for the missing / non-working equipment on a laptop.

Option 2. How to connect a laptop to the Internet using a USB modem*.
Now they enjoy "popular love" USB modems with which you can access the Internet. This access option is interesting in the presence of good coverage and adequate prices in the tariff plan. If desired, you can find providers that provide Mobile Internet complete with 3G modem. Depending on the equipment and service provider, the connection procedure may be different.

In some cases, providers set up a connection for free in their service center, sometimes you can find special programs that automatically install hardware drivers, create a connection and configure Internet access settings. It is possible that you will have to connect and configure the USB modem yourself. How it usually happens:

• We insert the SIM card into the USB modem;
• We insert the USB modem into the USB port on the laptop;
• The system will detect a new device (during the installation process, you need to select a language);
• We agree with the License Agreement and the installation site of the program;
• After the installation is completed, click "Finish";
• The program will start automatically. If not, we start in manual mode and enter the pin code (written on the card for the SIM card);
• The program is ready to go. Click "Connect to...". After creating the connection, we can use the Internet.

* The connection diagram may vary depending on the equipment used and the provider (service provider).

Option 3. How to connect a laptop to the Internet via a cable using a network card*.
Let's imagine that the masters involved in connecting subscribers have already come to you. They ran the cable, checked for connectivity, and plugged the cable into the network card slot. It remains only to configure:

1. Go to the Start menu, then select Control Panel;
2. We find and click there you need to select Local Area Connection and double-click on it with the left mouse button;
3. Then select and click Properties, in the list we need TCP / IP Protocol, then click Properties again;
4. Finally we got to our destination. If the provider provides automatic settings, select "Get automatically" for the IP and for the DNS server. Pressing the OK button will complete the network card settings. All settings are completed. Welcome to the Internet world.
5. **If the provider does NOT provide automatic settings, select "Use the following IP" and manually "drive in" the IP, Mask and Default Gateway.
6. The next step is to set the primary and alternate addresses for the DNS server;
7. After clicking OK, the settings made are fixed. Internet connection will be established automatically when the laptop is turned on.

*Depending on the service provider, the description of the settings may differ.
** Please check with your ISP (service provider) for the data required for network card settings.

Ignore the seeming complexity of the connection settings. After you make the settings at least once, everything will fall into place. After several trial connections, you can easily set up Internet access not only for yourself, but also for all your "technically hopeless" friends. Congratulations: now you know as many as three answers to the tricky question "how to connect a laptop to the Internet."

Everyone Have a good mood! In this post, we will talk about how set up internet on computer via cable. Moreover, friends, that once upon a time, this topic Already covered on this blog.

But with a lot of water under the bridge since then, and with new PCs ubiquitous of Windows 10, there's an urgent need to update the information. Although, to be honest, nothing much has changed in this matter.

So, since unlimited is going by leaps and bounds across the expanses of our vast homeland, within the framework of this publication, connection via a modem that is configured in router mode will be considered.

Therefore, if someone else does not know where to plug in the network cable correctly or why you need the login and password that you were given at the subscriber station, be sure to read the following material:
