How to reconfigure a Beeline router to another provider

Beeline is actively introducing IPoE technology in its home networks. This approach allows you to authorize a client by the MAC address of its equipment without using a VPN. When the network is switched to IPoE, the router's VPN client becomes unused and continues to persistently knock on the disconnected provider VPN server. All we have to do is reconfigure the router’s VPN client to a VPN server in a country where Internet blocking is not practiced, and the entire home network automatically gets access to google.com (at the time of writing this site was blocked).

Specifications

Smart is a completely standard device, the price of which varies from 2000 to 3000 rubles. To connect a Beeline router to another provider, you should study the device parameters, and then perform the firmware. Characteristics:

Even if the update is carried out, then the settings are reset and another Internet host is activated.

Connecting a router

First, let's look at how to connect a Beeline router, taking into account the provider's recommendations. Take the following steps:

Take the Wi-Fi router out of the box.
Connect to it the wire that is supplied to the apartment or house from the Beeline provider. Insert it into the WAN connector.
Before connecting to the Beeline router and setting it up, find the network cable. If it is not included, buy the device separately.
Insert the wire from the LAN router connector, and the other side into the corresponding network input on the PC or connect to the laptop. A Wi-Fi connection is allowed, but for more precise settings it is recommended to use a LAN cable.

Make sure that the required indicator lights up on the router. The power indicator should light up, as well as the WAN and device output lights (one of the LAN). After this, you can start setting up Beeline on your Wi-Fi router. Current tariffs for wireless Internet are here.

Resetting the router

You need to reflash the Beeline router for all operators after resetting the settings to factory settings. Hardware cleaning of the router allows you to delete all user settings. This action erases passwords, connection paths and drivers from the system memory. Algorithm of actions:

Turn on the router's power.
Press the RESET or RESTORE key.
Hold the button for half a minute.

The system will reboot. The settings are then set to default. Internet connection is deactivated. To connect, the software is completely configured.

How to reflash 4G router ZTE MF90

There is often a question on the Internet about whether it is possible to reflash Beeline routers of other models, for example, ZTE MF90. For this device, the algorithm of actions may differ:

Download the driver.
Put the router into diagnostic mode. To do this, use the DC-Unlocker program, which can be found at dc-unlocker.com.

Determine the port number for the router, which can be done in Device Manager.
Download the firmware file in bin format.
Execute the commands to copy files to the port as follows: “copy /b FileName\.Port”.
Turn off and turn on the router again.
Download the driver for the new device 823ADB-MF90.zip.
Find the name MI_05 in the list of unknown devices.
Give it the driver you just downloaded.
After recognizing a new device in the form of Android Composite ADB Interface, we can say that the job has been done correctly.
In the command line, type adb devices and make sure the modem is in the list.
To enter the console, select “adb shell”, and then “mv /etc/init.d/zlocknetapp /etc/init.d/zlocknetapp.bak”.
Reboot.

In this way, you can reflash the Beeline router for any operator, and then use its capabilities as usual. In the future, all that remains is to make the necessary settings and check the quality of the connection.

Settings for another provider

Beeline Smart Box firmware will allow you to establish a connection with another operator. First, you will need to select a new provider, visit the company’s official resource and download a special installation file. The required document can be found in the “Support” section. The file must contain an extension marked "bin". Follow the instructions below:

Login to the router. To do this, enter the following data in the search bar: https://192.168.1.1.
On the updated page the user name is written - SuperUser; The password is “Beeline$martB0x”.
Go to the “Other” tab, then to “Advanced settings”. Provider details are entered and a personal password is set.
Perform authorization. Gained access to the main configurations.
Find the “Settings” section, then “Software Update”. Upload the file.

Go to the subsection “USB modems, 3G/4G Wi-Fi routers”. In the list of modems, select yours and click on the name. There should be an automatic connection. If everything is entered correctly, the “Connected” sign will appear. After this, the equipment will require a reboot. Sometimes the login password is not suitable. Then it is replaced with the router number, which is indicated on the device body: “SFXXXXXXXXXX”.

Connection

After purchasing a router, you need to configure it. First you need to go to the official Beeline website and activate the device in your personal account. You will need to enter the equipment number and indicate its IP address. After this, you can connect and configure the equipment. You can connect the router in several ways: using a cable or via a Wi-Fi wireless network. Please note: if the provider’s client prefers the first connection method, then the installed Internet cable is routed into the apartment and connected to the port, which is marked in yellow on the router panel. The adapted cable for connecting to a PC can be installed in any light-colored connector on the router. Before connecting your router to a device via a wireless network, you must first determine the type of device: laptop, smartphone or TV. Typically, subscribers connect to a PC.

Below we will consider the sequence of actions for connecting to Windows OS version seven:

go to the Start menu;
Next we need to get to the “Control Panel”;
then we enter the section called “Network and Internet”;
find the subsection “View network status and tasks”;
click “Change adapter settings”;
select a wireless network, then “Connection”;
enter the password in the window that opens;
Confirm the completed actions by clicking Ok.

If you want to connect a router to a Smart TV, the sequence of actions will be as follows (we consider the example of LG TV):

select the “Network” function;
Now select “Wireless network setup”;
then press “AR”;
After searching for a network, select yours and connect to it.

To complete the connection, you will need to enter a password using the remote control and confirm the completed actions by clicking OK. The principle of connecting a Beeline router will be the same for almost all devices.

Indeed, this is a very productive router in terms of hardware with very good functionality. He had a number of childhood illnesses, which were later resolved with a firmware update. Today there are no special problems with Smartboxes, they work stably. But over time, users began to ask questions - how can they configure Smart Box for other providers that differ in the type of access - Rostelecom, Dom.ru, TTK, etc. Why is this necessary? It’s just that people, for various reasons, having disconnected from Beeline, do not want to spend extra money on a new router, so they are looking for a way to reconfigure the existing one to a new telecom operator.

Possible problems

Typically, connection difficulties rarely occur.

Below we will look at what possible problems users of the Smart Box device may encounter:

The hull was damaged. If the device has been subjected to mechanical impact or liquid has accidentally spilled on it, you should contact a service center.
Cable damage. It is imperative to check the cable insulation and the correct connection of the plugs. The power supply also needs to be inspected.
Interference occurs. In this case, you should check the indication. If the lights are red, you need to enter the settings and check the correct functioning of the patch cords.
Lost settings. If the settings were initially entered incorrectly or were lost during operation, you need to reset them to factory settings. After resetting, the parameters are configured again.
Drivers are missing. The necessary software components can be found on official resources and downloaded to your computer. The company supplies the device with a disk containing the necessary drivers.
The firmware is damaged. In such a situation, you need to download the appropriate firmware version from the official Beeline website and install it on the router.

Setting up a router from Beeline

If several computers are used in one house, then setting up Wi-Fi becomes more than relevant. Wireless Internet access is extremely convenient when working with modern smartphones, tablet PCs or laptops. Setting up Internet access through a router can be done automatically or manually, which directly depends on the model of the device used. Basically, when signing an agreement with the Beeline provider, a company specialist comes to the new client’s home and sets up the correct connection. But if the Wi-Fi router was purchased later, or the device was replaced, the connection will need to be configured again. Each router has its own guide for entering settings, but the individual steps are absolutely identical for all devices, for example:

Connecting the cable to the router itself.
Connecting the second cable directly to your laptop or PC.
Entering the correct settings (device address, type of connection used, setting a password, etc.).
