Setting up a router for Beeline depends on the specific model. The provider does not support all devices. If the router is on the list of supported ones, then even an inexperienced user can independently configure it to work with a Beeline modem.

Review of routers from Beeline provider

Router from Beeline.
To choose the right modem, company specialists advise customers to pay attention to device models that provide high-quality network access. You can purchase such routers in branded stores and Beeline stores.

Recommended

The provider offers to buy already-flashed router models for individual Internet service packages, for example:

A more detailed list of recommended routers is presented on the official Beeline portal.

Supported

This list includes modems that are no longer commercially available.

The provider guarantees that the devices will work with the firmware offered on the company’s website:

• Beeline N150L;
• D-Link DIR-300NRU(825 IPoE);
• Asus;
• Beeline D150L;
• TP Link;
• Linksys WRT610n(IPOE);
• Netgear;
• Wi-Fi modem from Beeline provider;
• Zyxel.

The site presents some more models of routers from other manufacturers. But you need to take into account that the settings of the devices differ for different localities.

Outdated

Routers that are no longer supported, but were previously recommended by the operator:

• Zyxel P-330W-EE;
• Asus 520GC;
• D-Link DIR-320(615);
• Trendnet 432BRP.

Before connecting the device, you need to make sure that its parameters meet Beeline requirements.

Maintenance-free

Models that have not been tested by the provider:

• D-Link;
• Linksys;
• Totolink;
• Asus;
• Netgear;
• Zyxel;
• Trendnet;
• TP-Link.

The company does not guarantee stable operation of the listed routers.

Unsupported Models

If your router is not on the white list, it means that it is not officially supported by Beeline. Therefore, during work, unsolvable problems may arise. However, this does not mean that it is impossible to connect a modem to routers of other models; it’s worth a try.

Obviously, only older models are not supported. Beeline recommended them before, but now it is impossible to connect correctly through them:

Detailed instructions for installing and configuring routers

Let's sum it up: how to set up a Beeline Internet router at home in Moscow? This can be done on a PC or smartphone. You will need to provide information from the provider. Then secure your Wi-Fi connection. Perform the update procedure only with a wired connection to the computer. If the login data is lost, we resort to a factory reset. If you need a driver for a network adapter, it is described in detail here: where, what and how.

Features of settings for different operating systems

The sequence for setting up operating systems (OS) is most often standard and is carried out according to the instructions. But sometimes problems arise with connecting equipment, due to which users have to contact the manufacturer’s support service.

Before installing and logging into the equipment, please note that Beeline does not work with all routers. The provider supports Beeline D150L and N150L devices, some RT series ASUS models, D-Link, ZyXEL, TP-Link routers and other devices. Detailed information on current equipment, as well as unavailable devices, is provided on the website moskva.beeline.ru/customers/pomosh/home/domashnij-internet/nastrojki-s-routerom/.

As for 3G and 4G, not all devices are supported here either. The group of available models includes ZTE (MF90+, MF823D, MF831, MF 667, MF823, MF 192 and others), as well as Huawei E171, E3272, E3131, E355, 3G modem E3533 and 4G modem 1K6E. Detailed information can also be obtained on the Beeline website at the link moskva.beeline.ru/customers/pomosh/mobile/tarify-i-uslugi/instrukcii-k-ustrojstvam-dlja-mobilnogo-bilajna/usb-modemy/.

Universal method

If the provider supports the selected router, you can begin setting up the Internet yourself. The instructions for activating Wi-Fi modems from the Beeline provider are suitable for equipment from other suppliers. There are differences, but they are minor.

Connecting to a computer

Procedure:

1. Connect the equipment to a 220 V outlet.
2. Insert the wire into the LAN connector of the modem.

Beeline Internet is also configured via Wi-Fi, but experts recommend using a cable to connect to a PC at the initial stage.

Authorization

Now you need to launch Opera or any other browser and follow these steps:

1. Enter IP 192.168.10.1 in the URL. Press "Enter".
2. If a new password and login have not been created, use admin twice.
3. Click OK.

If all manipulations are performed correctly, access to the router’s web interface will open.

Primary data entry

First steps to set up the Internet:

1. Click WAN.
2. Connection option - L2TP.
3. Server name, IP - write tp.internet.beeline.
4. Create your own username and password.
5. Address type - select “dynamic”.
6. MTU - set to 1460.
7. Check the box next to “Obtain DNS automatically.”
8. Click "Save".

If everything is done correctly, after a few minutes information will appear on the monitor that authorization has been completed, and the modem will connect to the network.

Wi-Fi setup

Safety

Settings can be changed in “Wi-Fi Settings”, subsection “Security”.

In the application you need to set the following parameters:

• key format - password;
• encryption WPA - TKIP, WPA2 - AES;
• authentication - WPA2 mixed.

Next, the security key for the connection is installed. But first you need to create a personal password, which must include numbers, Latin letters and special characters.

The combination must include at least 8 characters. If a cable is used to connect the router to the PC, a personal code is not required to connect Wi-Fi.

Firmware update

To properly configure your router, you may need a firmware update.

The order of the procedure is as follows:

1. Download software suitable for the router.
2. Open the device interface. For this, IP 192.168.10.1 is used, admin is used as the username and password.
3. Open the "Tools" folder.
4. Click “Update firmware”, then click the Browse button.
5. Specify the desired program.
6. Click "Update".

The modem must be unplugged from the power outlet before performing this procedure.

Firmware update for configuration.

Reset

If it was not possible to configure the equipment the first time or failures occurred during its operation, you must perform a hardware reset and set the parameters again.

Step-by-step instruction:

1. Connect the router to the power supply.
2. Start the device.
3. Press the Reset button, hold it for at least 30 seconds, then release.
4. Wait for the device to reboot.

This method is also suitable for those who have forgotten (lost) their password and cannot enter the router interface to change parameters.

Nuances of setting up a mobile router

Most devices are configured only through the web interface. The program automatically prompts users to select an access point, tariff and activate the starting balance.

There are models connected via cable. In this case, the configuration utility built into the router starts. All other manipulations are similar to settings through the interface.

The 4G router offered by Beeline cannot be configured separately from computer equipment.

Selecting an Internet protocol for Beeline

Before setting up the router, be sure to ask your provider which protocol to use for connection: IPoE or L2TP.

Ipoe

This protocol provides web authorization. There is no need to configure the router yourself. The user only connects the network cable to the WAN connector of the device.

Next, the browser installed on the PC starts and any website opens. You are automatically redirected to the router settings page.

The user enters the password and login provided by the operator and gains access to the Internet.

L2TP

This type of protocol is not automatically configured. All necessary parameters must be entered yourself.

The modem with an inserted and activated SIM card is connected to the PC using a cable. Next, Opera or another browser is launched. The IP of the device is entered in the address bar.

A settings page will open, where you manually enter all the necessary parameters for the selected router model.
