Now technical devices are not a luxury, but the means necessary for work. And often in the same house, in addition to a stationary computer, you can see a laptop, tablet, netbook, etc. Undoubtedly, all of them want access to the Internet. It is not very convenient to pull the cable from the modem, and often it is not possible. Therefore, it is much more profitable to use an ADSL modem with wi-fi (). The modem used in router mode will make it possible to connect several devices to the network at once without additional settings.
Benefits of using wi-fi
Before setting up Wi-Fi, let's take a look at the benefits we will get by using this modem standard. Wireless Fidelity enables broadband wireless networks. Advantages of Wi-Fi modems:
- Lower radiation level than when using 3-G modems;
- Compatible with almost all modern devices;
- High user mobility, independence from the location of the modem, etc.
We get the opportunity to create a wireless home network with just one modem. you will be able to have unimpeded access to the network anywhere in the radius in which the device operates. You will be able to share files and surf the Internet without resorting to wires or cables.
Modem configuration
In order to set up wi-fi on byfly, you need a modem that will be used as a router, a computer, a laptop and a network cable. The latter usually comes with a modem. Consider the settings on one of the most popular Promsvyaz M-200A models. And you will learn how to set up such a popular router model as the Asus RT-G32. Just do not forget that you need to be a subscriber of Beltelecom, which offers Internet service from ByFly.
First, we connect the cable to desktop computer on the one hand and the modem port on the other. We do this with the devices turned off. After they are connected to each other, turn on the computer and wait for it to boot. Next, press the modem power button on the modem and wait for the router to initialize. If the computer has old antivirus that is not updated, then it may block access to the internet. Therefore, you must either disable it completely or install new software.
Now open Google Chrome or whatever browser you are using. Add 192.168.1.1 to the address bar and click on Enter. This action will help us get to the web interface of the modem. If everything was done without errors, you will be prompted to enter a username and password. The default is admin here.
The next step is to open the Interface Setup tab, which will allow you to configure the modem settings. Here we are interested in the Internet item. In it, we change the settings in the username and password lines, enter the data here from the contract with the provider. The Default Route parameter must be in the YES position. If you have done everything, press the SAVE button. This completes the configuration of the modem for use as a router. Next, you need to configure Wi-Fi.
To do this, go to the Wireless tab. We activate the PerSSID Switch parameter here. The network name is written in the SSID line. The Encryption and Authentication Type fields are responsible for the security of the connection. The Pre-Shared Key line requires a password to connect via Wi-Fi. It must consist of numbers and Latin letters, at least 8 characters long. We save all the entered parameters by pressing SAVE.
Actually, this is all that needs to be done. Now we turn on the laptop and try to connect to the network. The first time you need to enter your password. Subsequently, this will not be required when installing and saving the corresponding settings.
Nowadays, wireless modems are in demand, and many users are interested in the question of how to set up Wi-Fi on a modem on their own. In fact, the configuration principle does not differ from the router. But there are some differences and peculiarities that you need to know.
Entering the settings menu
First of all, to enter the modem settings menu, you need to turn on the device and connect a computer to it. It is also worth noting right away that modem is accompanied by instructions, which indicate the login and password to enter the interface, as well as the IP address of the device.
So, connect modem to your computer and launch any browser. In the address bar of the browser, you need to register the IP of the modem. Press "Enter".
At the next stage, the system will ask you to enter your username and password. As mentioned above, this data is contained in the instructions for the device. As a rule, the login is admin, the password is admin. We entered and click "Login" or "Login". So we got into the control system. Now you can move on to the question of how to turn on Wi-Fi on the modem.
Setting up a wireless network
To configure wireless communication on the main page of parameters, you need to go to the "Basic" section. Then open the "WLAN" section. First of all, we put a checkmark here in the "Enable WLAN" line.
There are also a few things to tweak here:
- SSID is the name of the network that will be displayed when connected on other computers, smartphones, tablets, and so on. You can enter any name. But remember that only the letters of the English alphabet can be used.
- Maximum number of accessing device - here you can specify the maximum number of simultaneous connections.
- Below there is another SSID line, opposite which you need to check the box. This will put the wireless network in “Enable” mode.
- Security - in this line you can select the type of encryption. The most reliable type today is WPA2PSK.
- WPA pre-shared key - here you can assign a password for your local network... You will need it to connect to Wi-Fi. You make it up yourself. As in the name of the network, only Latin letters and / or numbers can be used here.
- WPS - just uncheck the box here (if installed).
After entering all the required data, the parameters should be saved. To do this, press the "Submit" button. This completes the wireless setup.
You can connect various devices equipped with Wi-Fi adapter... In order to turn off Wi-Fi on the modem, you need to re-enter the options menu and simply uncheck the "SSID" line.
It is worth noting that the instructions for setting up the Huawei modem were described above. In other models of similar equipment, the names of some sections may differ. Although the very principle of setting is always the same.
For example, to disable Wi-Fi on D-Link devices, go to the Wi-Fi section and select the Wireless settings heading. wireless network). After that, you just need to uncheck the "Wireless enable" line.

Configuring WAN Connection
Above, we looked at how to distribute Wi-Fi from a modem, but we were talking about a local network. In other words, you won't have internet access.
To connect to the network, you will have to set up a WAN connection, which means that you need to request data from the provider. That is, when you connect to the Internet, the provider issues you a contract that contains all the necessary data about the network.
Everything is extremely simple here. Back to home page in the Modem settings. Go to the "Basic" "WAN" section. Here we click on the line "Internet ...".
- In the line "Connection type" you need to set the value "PPPoE".
- UserName - here you should enter the username (login) that the provider assigned to you when connecting.
- Even below there will be a line "Password" - this is the password that the provider gave you when you connected (enter it).
- To save the entered parameters, click the "Submit" button.
As a result, we get a completely ready-to-use Promsvyaz M200a modem. Again, the functionality of the modem allows you to use it as an ADSL modem, router, wireless Wi-Fi access point, to which it is possible to connect several devices at once. For example: a computer over a network cable; laptop, phone, tablet via Wi-Fi at the same time.
Thus, you can quickly create a home local wireless network based on Promsvyaz M200a. Easily access the Internet, exchange files and data between different devices wirelessly.
To configure the M200a modem, we need a working computer (laptop) without viruses and a network cable (included with the modem) to connect to the modem for initial setup... Naturally, you must be a subscriber of the Internet provider Beltelecom with the activated and active ByFly service.
For normal operation of a computer or laptop, we recommend using effective antiviruses with an annual license and description in Russian. You can compare and download antiviruses from the developers' sites at the link.
Initial configuration of ADSL modem ByFly Promsvyaz M200a:
- We connect the computer network cable to the 1st, 2nd or 3rd LAN port of the modem (we use these ports to connect, since the fourth is reserved for IP TV with DHCP disabled). Run it on your computer Chrome browser(Opera, FireFox, IE - any will do).
- We go to the modem interface. To do this, enter (without spaces) the numbers in the address bar of the browser: 192.168.1.1 (this is the default IP address of the Promsvyaz M200a modem). We press Enter (Enter).
Sometimes the default IP address may be changed or unavailable. There is a fairly simple way.
If, for some reason, the entry cannot be made, it is worth checking the status operating system computer and / or restart the modem.
If you cannot get into the interface of the Promsvyaz M200a modem router, try using another browser. In some cases, it is better to reset the modem settings to factory defaults and start over. To do this, press and hold a special recessed button in the device body with a sharp object (needle, unbent paper clip) for 5 seconds.
Sometimes it is enough just to change the browser or remove the old antivirus (especially if it is not updated). Antivirus can provoke problems on the computer, including working with WEB interfaces. In rare cases, it is necessary. Especially if the Internet on the computer is slow with constant disconnections.
- After the modem address has been entered, a window appears for entering the name and password of the modem administrator. Enter the password -admin, user- admin.
- We get into the modem interface.
- Click on the Interface Setup tab. We get to the Interface Setup tab and the Internet sub-tab. Everything should be like in the picture below.
- The following fields must be changed: username (in the Beltelecom agreement - the user), password (in the agreement this is the password) and Bridge Inteface. We check the presence of an active Default Route checkbox in the "YES" position. Click SAVE.
- Open the LAN tab. You can leave nothing here (DNS servers will rise automatically!)
Or as in the picture DNS ByFly for the city of Minsk.
To configure DNS, put the DNS Relay menu in the USED USER DESCOVERED DNS state (English use custom DNS servers) - specify your own.
You can use Google's public DNS servers - 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 - suitable for any region of Belarus. More about google settings DNS in the article. We save the settings. If you use Promsvyaz M200a only as a wired ADSL modem, no further configuration is required.

How to set up WiFi on Byfly modem? Provider Byfly offers high-speed Internet access to its users.
The company produces only modems that can be connected to a computer using USB and a special program.
What to do if you need to convert your modem to a WiFi hotspot. Let's take a closer look at all the basic methods of converting a modem from Byfly, a kind of "router".
Creating an access point via modem
If you do not have the ability to create your own home network (using twisted pair cable) or it is not profitable for you, you can find other ways to create a universal Internet access point for all devices in the room.
Great way to get fast access to the Internet - use a regular modem.
However, it should be noted that the modem must support high-speed traffic and have a fairly large amount of paid traffic, since several devices will use it at once.
With the help of a modem, you can always access the Internet, regardless of location.
The main requirement is the presence of operator coverage, which is available almost everywhere in urban areas.
The principle of operation of the modem is almost identical to the process of functioning of a conventional router.
Also, a modem has a much lower degree of radiation than a regular router and even a telephone.
Let's take a closer look at the main method of setting up wi-fi using the example of modems from Promsvyaz models zt zxv10, hg532e, h108n and huawei hg8245a, m 200a, zxhn h208n.
All of these modems work on the same principle, so they are configured exactly the same.
The main way to configure on Windows - Instructions
Follow the instructions and the photo to set up the Internet using a modem on your computer, phone and laptop:
- Go to your computer's control panel and find the Network Control Center. Turn it on;
- In the window that opens, find the link to open the adapter management window, as shown in the figure below;
- Click on the wireless adapter and enable its detailed properties window;
- Make sure the connected modem is working properly;
- In the window that opens, enter the data: username and password (in most cases, these are admin and admin - login data that is automatically supplied by the manufacturer - huawei and other manufacturers set just such login data).
If you have not logged in, contact your provider in order to find out the password and username.
When changing all the settings, the device will work exclusively via the ftp protocol, that is, it will exchange data with the server;
- After entering the data, the page for configuring the parameters of the used device from the industrial communications will open;
- Go to the Interface Setup menu;
- Now find a mode called Default Route and check the box next to Yes. By enabling this mode, you allow the adapter to distribute the Internet to several devices at once, that is, create a full-fledged access point to the Internet from it;
- At the bottom of the page, click on the save all changes button;
- After that, the system may require you to restart your computer and modem. After the reboot process, connect the devices again and re-enable the adapter settings window, as described above in the instructions;
- Go to the settings on the Wireless tab;
- Duplicate all settings as shown in the figure for your adapter. Also in the settings, enter the network name and set your password for access. According to the standard, it is necessary to set a password that is at least eight characters and / or numbers.
After completing all the steps in the instructions, restart the adapter and the computer again. Then try connecting to a wireless internet network.
If the connection was successful and access to the Internet appeared, this means that you can access the network not only on the computer, but also on the phone and other devices that can connect to the Wi-Fi access point.
Advice! Consider the following nuance: the modem will work as an access point only while it is connected to a running computer. In other cases, the adapter will be disabled and, accordingly, will not be able to distribute the Internet.
Instant network updates
If you encounter any problems with the configured network, you can mitigate its operation using the adapter settings.
Go to the Maintenance tab, enter the network passwords and reset the adapter settings.
You can then repeat the setting again to restore the normal functioning of the Internet access.
You can also reset the settings if you inserted the wrong settings when creating a wireless access point.
