Internet technologies AKADO. What type of connection does Akado have? Setting up the Internet and WiFi network Akado Telecom: features of connecting equipment How to set up an Akado router

Internet connection Akado Possibly using two technologies.

One of them, DOCSIS, usually involves the use of existing coaxial networks cable television(regular TV cable). This technology is considered cost-effective and is being enthusiastically adopted by providers cable television to provide its clients Internet access. Connection requires the use of a special modem.

Second technology for Internet connections - Ethernet, is the most common network technology and is designed to connect to network of computers at home, in the office, and even in large enterprises. In technology Ethernet cable systems based on twisted pair and fiber optic cable are used, depending on the distances between connection points. No additional hardware is required to connect one port. However, if you plan to connect to several computers and need to create a home or office network, you will need a router or switch.

DOCSIS technology.

Modern cable television operators, expanding their services, are moving from traditional broadcasting of television programs to providing interactive services of various kinds, including Internet And IP telephony. Currently the most cost-effective means to provide services interactive service is DOCSIS(Data-Over-Cable Service Interface Specification).

DOCSIS is a standard that was created in the 90s to provide high-speed, broadband data transmission By hybrid optical-coaxial lines North America. DOCSIS is a very popular standard among operators cable television, since it does not require laying additional cable lines and at one time became known throughout the world as a high-speed access technology. The standard provides for two signal streams, Downstream from the station to the subscriber and Upstream from the subscriber to the station. The distribution functions of these streams are performed by a special cable modem at the subscriber (or a cable modem with a built-in Wi-Fi router is connected) and the operator’s distribution head station. Since January 2003, more than 25 million have been sold worldwide. DOCSIS- cable modems. There are currently two versions in use DOCSIS. This DOCSIS 2.0 And DOCSIS 3.0, the difference between the latter is the ability to combine up to 16 channels, which leads to a significant increase in access speed.

Ethernet technology.

Networks Ethernet are built on the basis of an 8-core twisted pair cable, which is designed to connect computers indoors. This is due to the fact that, according to the standard, the length of a twisted pair cable cannot be more than 100 m. However, after the rapid growth in popularity of fiber optic technologies, due to the reduction in prices for cable products and equipment, the Internet went out onto the street, since the limitation in length and The protection of optical fiber from external influences made it possible to create communication channels up to 10 km long or more. Now based on Ethernet The bulk of the broadband access networks of city cable operators is being built.

A distinctive feature of such networks is:

  • High baud rate these are 100 Mbit, 1000 Mbit, 10 Gbit.
  • Simple connecting computers using an RJ-45 connector.
  • Cheapness of basic user equipment.
  • The flexibility and expandability of the Internet, inexpensive equipment purchased at a computer store will allow you to create an office network of any complexity with a large number of computers.

The use of modern managed switches and software by providers when building their networks allows them to use unusual Ethernet qualities that significantly expand the capabilities of technology Ethernet, such as:

  • Ring infrastructure allows you to increase the network's fault tolerance to breaks and failures of backbone equipment.
  • Services that provide priority levels to specific traffic allow time-dependent video conferencing traffic and IP telephony.
  • Additional information security tools allow you to create closed networks and encrypt data.

The use of a fiber optic cable protects the signal from any kind of interference, since neither magnetic nor electric fields affect the propagation of light in the cable.

Today I will tell you about the principles of setting up routers from the Akado provider. This provider connects subscribers in Moscow and the Moscow region. Akado routers are configured differently, they do not have any standard connection type, they use a connection with a static IP address, PPPoE, configuration using a DHCP server - this is automatic configuration of your router, i.e. settings are transmitted to you through a special server.

Before starting setup, I recommend that you check the type of Internet connection with Akado technical support. You will also need a login and password to log into the router, and a configured connection to the router. You can find out how to configure a network card here:

Connection diagram

Setting up a router via DHCP Server

After connecting the router, you need to go to its settings. First, you need to find out the main IP address for your router; it is usually indicated in the manual, either on the label of the router itself, or on the box from the router.

After you have found out your login details, go to settings.

Open the browser, enter the address in the address bar, in my case it is: http://192.168.1.1

After which the web interface will open, I’ll show you using the D-Link DIR-300 as an example:

Click Manual Internet Connection Setup, everything may be different for you, the point is that you need to find the WAN settings.

You need to select the connection type to Dynamic IP (DHCP)

We do not specify a DNS server, MTU = 1500. Then we save the router settings by clicking the Save Settings button. Configuration in Dynamic IP (DHCP) mode is now complete.

Configuring to PPPoE mode

To configure in PPPoE mode, you need to fill in the following parameters.

Select the PPPoE connection mode (Username/Password).

  • Address Mode - Dynamic IP.
  • User Name - user name (your login, check with Akado).

We fill in the remaining parameters as in the picture, then save the router settings by clicking the Save Settings button. Configuration to PPPoE mode is now complete.

Setting up VPN mode (PPTP)

To set up in VPN (PPTP) mode, you need to fill in the following parameters.

Select PPTP connection mode.

The main parameters here are:

  • Address Mode - Static IP.
  • PPTP IP Address is the server's IP address.
  • PPTP Subnet Mask - subnet mask.
  • PPTP Getway IP Address - default gateway.
  • PPTP Server IP Address - specify the server address 10.10.10.10;
  • Username - username (your login, check with Akado).
  • Password - your user password (check with Akado).
  • Verify Password - enter the password again.

Parameters (PPTP IP Address, PPTP Subnet Mask, PPTP Getway IP Address) are issued individually for each user. We fill in the remaining parameters as in the picture, then save the router settings by clicking the Save Settings button. Setting up VPN (PPTP) mode is now complete.

Akado is a popular Internet provider whose services are used by users of Moscow and the Moscow region. If you become a subscriber of this provider, then all that remains for you is to configure the Internet correctly.

As a rule, the main part of setting up the Internet from Akado is done through the router’s web interface. Since even Akado distributes different models of routers, not to mention the fact that you purchased the router yourself, the interface in your case may be significantly different, but the configuration principle will remain the same.

Step 1: Connecting the Router

First of all, you will need to connect your router correctly. This is quite simple to do: first you need to provide power to the router. This can be done if you use the power supply included in the kit, connect it to the router and, accordingly, to the network.

After this, you will need to provide the router with Internet access. To do this, you need to connect an Internet cable to the router, supplied by the Akado provider to your apartment. To do this, this cable will need to be inserted into a special socket on the back of the router, which, as a rule, is either highlighted in color or labeled with the word “WAN” or “Internet”.

Since the router is configured from a computer, we will need to connect these two devices to each other. This can be done using the cable included with the modem. You should connect one end of the cable to one of the LAN connectors of the router (no matter which one), and the other, accordingly, connect to the computer.

At this point, the stage of connecting the router to the computer is completed, which means we can easily move on to the process of setting up the router on the computer.

Step 2: Set up the router on your computer

  1. Make sure your router is turned on (the diodes on it should be lit), and then launch any browser on your computer and go to the following link:
  2. As soon as you press the Enter key, an authorization window will appear on the screen in which you will need to enter your login information to the web interface. For now, this data is standard, and the word “admin” (without quotes) is entered in both the first and second fields. If this data does not suit you and you were unable to enter the router settings, then you will need to inspect the router case, where, as a rule, on the bottom there should be a sticker with information about the router. This is where the authorization data for your modem (login and password) should be indicated.
  3. After logging into the web interface, first we need to configure the Internet on the modem. In the left area of ​​the window you will need to open the tab "Net", select a section in it "Connections". In the window that appears, click on the button "Add".

  4. A window will appear on the screen in which you will need to fill in the fields in accordance with the data provided by your provider.

    Setting up PPPoE

    • Connection type– PPPoE;
    • Username– data that must be taken from the agreement concluded with Akado;
    • Password- the same. This data is taken from the agreement with the provider;
    • Password confirmation– specify the security key again;
    • MTU– 1492;
    • Press the button "Save" to accept changes.

    Setting up Dynamic IPoE

    • Connection type– IPoE;
    • MTU– 1400;
    • Enable RIP– remove the checkbox from this item;
    • Enable IGMP– check the checkbox;
    • NAT– check the checkbox;
    • Firewall– check the checkbox;
    • Click on the button "Save".

    L2TP setup

    • Connection type– set the “L2TP” parameter;
    • Physical interface– WAN;
    • Connect automatically– check the checkbox;
    • Service name– enter “L2TP”;
    • Username
    • Password– data provided by the provider;
    • Password confirmation– re-enter the security key;
    • Keep Alive– check the checkbox;
    • LCP interval – 30;
    • LCP failures – 5;
    • MTU– 1400;
    • Enable RIP– remove the checkbox;
    • Enable IGMP– remove the checkbox;
    • NAT– check the checkbox;
    • Firewall– check the checkbox;

      Apply your changes by clicking the button "Save".

  5. When the Internet settings are successful, all you have to do is configure the Wi-Fi on the router. You can do this by going to the section in the left area of ​​the window “Network” – “Wi-Fi”. Make sure that the tab at the top of the window is activated "Basic settings" and then make the following changes:
    • Enable wireless connection– check the checkbox;
    • SSID– set the desired wireless network name, which must be written in English;
    • A country– set your country of residence;
    • Maximum number of clients– this item is specified arbitrarily. The optimal value is 10;
    • Click the button "Change".

  6. At the top of the window, open the tab "Security Settings", where again you'll need to do a little tweaking:
    • Network authentication– WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK
    • PSK encryption key– specify a password that will protect your wireless network (at least 8 characters long);
    • WPA2 Pre-authentication– check the checkbox;
    • Click the button "Change".

    At this point, the Internet setup on the router can be considered complete.

Step 3: Setting up your computer

Actually, at this point the Internet setup for Akado can be considered complete. Please note that if you have any difficulties, you should call the provider’s hotline, where a specialist will help you identify the cause of the Internet inoperability and eliminate it in a short time.

How to connect a router to Akado?

Master's answer:

There are two ways to connect a Wi-Fi router to the Akado Internet: using a DSL router or by connecting a LAN router to a DSL modem that is already installed. The second option deserves detailed attention.

To work you will need a network cable.

If the computer already has a configured DSL modem that serves as the computer’s access to the Internet, in this case the network cable must be disconnected from the device. Connect to the WAN port of the new Wi-Fi router. Using the second network cable, you connect your desktop computer to the LAN connector of your router.

Launch the Internet browser and open the web interface for the Wi-Fi router settings. You must enter your username and password, after which you can access the settings. Open the WAN menu and select the DynamicIP function. In the “MAC address” field, enter the physical address of the network card of the computer from which the router was configured. Then click the CloneMACAddress button. The DNS address fields must contain the value 0.0.0.0.

By clicking the Apply button, you will save the entered settings. By entering the Wireless menu, activate the wireless access point. Set the type of security you require. After this, you will need to enter a password that will ensure connection to the wireless network. When working with the Akado network, you must disable the Firewall function, since it will only interfere. To do this, you need to set the Disable parameter.

After saving all the router settings, you need to reboot. After that, by logging into the web interface of the network equipment, open the Status menu. The value of the “MAC address” field must match the physical address of the PC’s network card. If the IP-address field is set to 0.0.0.0, you must click the DHCP Release and DHCP Renew buttons. In the Russian version of the firmware this may be “Update DHCP”.

The wireless access point has already been created, now all that remains is to connect the laptop to it. After opening the wireless network adapter settings, you need to select the TCP/IP Internet protocol. Next to the items “Obtain a DNS server address automatically” and “Obtain an IP address automatically” you need to check the boxes. The settings are saved.

One of the largest Moscow providers of home TV + Internet, combining fast online access and interactive television, is http://www.akado.ru (official website). The brand, which has absolutely nothing in common with the rock band of the same name, is also known as the COMCOR company (part of the telecommunications holding RENOVA-MEDIA), which has decades of experience in the telecommunications industry. And this theoretically means a stable and high-speed connection to the Global Network.

We will install Wifi for users connected to the Global Network

  • Tired of being tied to one workstation/computer by a network cable?
  • Are you connected to the Akado wired Internet, but need to use the network on several computers (laptops)?
  • Have you bought an additional laptop, smartphone, game console and need to connect them together to an existing channel?
There is a solution! This installing a wireless router, distributing “online access” to all devices in your home.
The installed WIRELESS ROUTER will ensure operation of the home network at speeds of 100 Mbps (12 megabytes per second) to clients on wired LAN 10/100 interfaces and about three megabytes/s to devices on a wireless interface according to the Wireless Fidelity 802 11g 54Mbit standard.

LOW SPEED?

If such speeds are not enough, then it is possible to install ultra-high-speed equipment of the 802 11 N standard, like D Link DIR 655, which will provide wireless module performance of about 30+ MEGABYTES / Sec.

We will help you install a wireless network at your home.

You will gain freedom of movement around the house and will be able to work on the Internet simultaneously on several computers without interfering with each other; print to a printer over a network, play exciting online games.

FAVORABLE COST of the solution: from 2300 rubles, taking into account the cost of the router, next day delivery and setup for two PCs!

Below is a list of AKADO-compatible Wi-Fi routers that work reliably with the Internet, which we will quickly deliver to your home (office) and configure:

  • D-Link 615 (802.11 n150) the best in terms of price and quality; but it is not always configured the first time; SUPER PRICE: 3100 rubles with delivery and installation!!!
  • Router Asus WL 520 GU (with a USB port for connecting a printer)
  • DeLink DIR 300. Price 2300 rubles, including installation and configuration on 2 computers
  • The device from Asus WL520GC is a little faster than Dir300, but Wi-Fi is only 54 G
  • Trendnet TEW-634GRU 4 Gigabit LAN Ethernet ports + 300Mbit Wi-Fi + supports torrents
  • Powerful Zixel Kinetic router with two 5dbi antennas. Cost with installation 4000 rubles
  • WL 500 GPV2 - a more productive and functional model, but with slow WiFi (54g)
  • For a large house or apartment, we recommend DLink DIR-655 - fast Full 1 Gigabit (WAN + LAN) N300 Wi-Fi Router, cost 5300 rub.
At your request, we will install network equipment of another manufacturer/model. You can find out the prices at which professional specialists set up routers at home here:

The World Wide Web operates using DocSiS technology (not to be confused with Adsl), which implies an asymmetrical speed of consumed traffic (faster to the user than from the user). The signal enters the apartment via a coaxial cable going to the modem, from which a standard 100 megabit Ethernet over twisted pair RJ-45.
Recently (following STREAM), the provider has been offering a full-fledged unlimited internet excluding traffic at any speed. If previously there was an unofficial monthly limit on consumed traffic (for example, 25 gigabytes / month), upon reaching which the user’s Internet connection speed was “cut off,” now you can download information without any strain.

Which providers should I connect to?

Is an alternative possible in the form of Stream / Mts or Corbina? The provider can be beneficial to people as a simplified and faster alternative to STREAM, since it is much easier to set up and does not require a phone number for its operation, as well as entering a password each time you log into the network, like CORBIN and STREAM.
Asynchronous communication: Incoming speed is higher than outgoing speed. This aspect is important for users who intend to post any data on the network for downloading by other users (FTP, WWW servers, or peer-to-peer programs, Utorrent, E-Mule, KaaZaa and the like). True, there is one important nuance here, read on.

ADDRESSING

If you are going open access to your resources from the Internet, You won't be able to do this. The fact is that by default, all users access the Internet through a single address using NAT technology. In other words, when working on the home Internet from Akado, the provider equipment gives you a single white protected address. This means that all outgoing connections are allowed, but all incoming connections are denied. And in order to forward the port inside (by setting up a “virtual server” on the router), you need to directly configure the provider’s equipment.
There is only one way out of this situation: order for an additional fee real permanent routed IP address. This reduces security, but increases the functionality of internetworking.

For users who host their own servers for the purpose of external access, the highest outgoing speed is important (friendship of peoples reliable UPLOAD). Akado demonstrates good performance in this area. For comparison, for the same STREAM, the upload performance at the maximum tariff does not exceed 750 kilobits. The leader in “upload” is definitely CORBINA; this provider has a 1:1 ratio of download to upload speeds.

WiFi SETUP

The simplicity of the settings is surprising: you need to enter static IP parameters, DNS servers and gateway to start working. To enjoy the limitless possibilities of the Internet, you do not need to enter a login/password. In other words, the Akado provider does not have VPN authorization, but there is a binding by hardware address. This is an absolute advantage over CORBINE and STREAM. The absence of client VPN protocols increases convenience and stability when connecting two or more home computers through a router.
If you ever need to connect several PCs or laptops to the Internet using a router, this will be much easier than with CORBINA or STREAM, because any of the routers with an RJ-45 WAN interface will be suitable for purchase. And if you can’t set up a wireless router yourself, call! Network specialists will come to your home and configure WI FI routers Asus WL520 Gc / 520gu, model RT G32; They will efficiently configure Dlink DIR300, or any other routers, for example Zixel Kinetic, providing wireless Internet to 2+ laptops or computers in the apartment via a Wi-Fi router.

quality of services

It is difficult for us to judge the quality of service provided by this organization; for this purpose, there are numerous reviews of existing clients on the Internet. But since the provider uses DocSiS technology (a corresponding modem, like Cisco Epc2325, is installed at the client’s home), then theoretically the stability of such a connection will be somewhat reduced compared to competing providers in Moscow that work using Ethernet technology without the use of additional devices.

OVERVIEW OF PROVIDER TARIFF PLANS

The operator has three Internet tariffs for users with an initial speed of 2500 / 800 Kilobits and 28 interactive television channels.
The most economical tariff will cost you 400 rubles / month.
The price of the most “expensive” tariff is only 600 rubles. For this price you will get 7500 kilobits of downstream and 1 Mbit of upstream traffic.

corporate INTERNET connection of legal entities to AKADO provider

Starting from May 15, 2008, the provider is making a gift to all small and medium-sized business owners. Until June 30 inclusive, there is a special price for connecting an office to dedicated Internet lines, amounting to only 30 rubles. Hurry up!

PLEASANT SURPRISES

Purely AKADO gadget: a virtual flash drive. How it works: the user is allocated one gigabyte of disk space on the provider's servers and a login with a password for full access to the data. You can access the “flash drive” from anywhere in the world, wherever there is access to the World Wide Web.

AKADO is a telecommunications services operator providing Internet, digital television, radio and telephone services in the three largest cities of Russia: Moscow, Yekaterinburg and St. Petersburg. It has quite a lot of positive reviews, as it works on modern equipment and provides services according to the most modern standards.

The operator works using cutting-edge technology

Considering that the main technology for connecting to the World Wide Web is DOCSIS, many users have many questions about how to configure and connect equipment. We suggest you look into this in more detail.

What is DOCSIS technology?

DOCSIS technology involves the provision of all telecommunications services via television coaxial cable. That is, you can watch TV and use the Internet over one wire. This is very convenient because you don't have to run cables from multiple suppliers. In terms of payment, everything is also much more convenient.


There are several technology standards. The most modern is EuroDOCSIS 3.0. In most areas of Moscow it is this that is recycled. Currently the maximum access speed is 150 Mbit/sec. Prospects for the development of technology promise to reach speeds of up to 800 Mbit/s.

Configuring the router to work on the AKADO network

Connection diagram

When connecting to AKADO, a coaxial cable is routed into your room. It is no different from regular television cable. A splitter is installed at the entrance to the apartment. Its task is to distribute the signal between various devices. Other devices such as a modem, tuner or radio are connected to it. In our case, we will connect a router that supports DOCSIS technology. You don’t have to worry about where to purchase it, since the company provides the opportunity to buy or rent it when you connect. After that, you turn on the router and connect to its wireless network on any of your devices.

Router settings via web interface

  1. Connect the AKADO coaxial cable to the appropriate connector on the router. Screw it securely so that it is tightly secured.
  2. Connect the router to a 220 V electrical network, press the power button on the back panel of the device.


  1. At the back of the router you will find information about the login and password of the wireless network (SSID - network name, password - password), as well as credentials for entering the settings interface (Login - access address, ID - login, PW - password).
  2. Typically, setup is performed by logging in at 192.168.0.1, login - admin, password - admin or password. Use any browser.


  1. Since authorization occurs by the MAC address of the equipment, you will not need to enter any data. All you can change and configure is the network operating mode and security protocol. We recommend using the WPA2 standard and the AES encryption algorithm. They are the most reliable. You can find this item in the “Wireless Network Setting” section.


When you first connect, you will have to wait several hours until the Internet appears. This happens because the router's MAC address must be activated on the AKADO server.

Conclusion

As you can see, setting up the Internet from AKADO is not at all difficult. When you connect for the first time, our technicians will set up all the equipment for you. You will need to do everything yourself if you have rearranged the room, but you don’t want to wait for a repairman for several days.

The provider, which has the sonorous name “Akado”, has an interesting feature. It can use one of the following as a connection protocol: static IP, dynamic IP, PPPoE and possibly something else. But in each case, the MAC address of the connected device will be checked against the value stored in the database.

Under Akado, setting up a router looks easy, another thing is that not all models support, for example, PPPoE and MAC cloning at the same time. Let's try to understand these details.

Akado logo

There are routers that do not have the “MAC address spoofing” option for connections using the PPPoE protocol. Or rather, this does not even apply to the devices themselves, but to their firmware (the option may be added in a newer software version). So, problems may arise if the PPPoE connection protocol is used. In theory, no one cancels the opportunity to call technical support to ask to change the MAC value in the database. Only after this, connecting the computer to the network cable will become useless: the connection will not work. And the only device capable of accessing the Internet will be the router.

Before setting up your router, it’s best to figure out two things. First, you need to find out what protocol is used to connect. If this is not a “DHCP client” (aka “dynamic IP”) or “static IP”, you need to answer a different question. It goes like this: Does this router support MAC cloning with the required protocol?

As an example, we will look at setting up a router for the PPPoE connection protocol. It will be shown how to create a connection in the user interface of DIR-XX D-Link routers (blue and white design).

Setting up a PPPoE connection

The following information should be written on a separate piece of paper:

  1. Akado subscriber login
  2. Password for this subscriber
  3. MAC address of the network card that was connected to the Akado modem

You can view the MAC address on your computer as follows: right-click on the connection icon, select the “Status” line. Next, go to the “Support” tab, click “Details”. You can see the MAC value in the first line.

Sequence of preliminary actions

First of all, to connect to the router, you need to correctly configure your computer (more precisely, its network card). In the “properties” of the wired connection, it is indicated that the “TCP/IP Protocol” will work, obtaining IP and DNS automatically:

Next, using a patch cord, connect any LAN port of the router to the network port of the PC. But the WAN or Internet port is used to connect the provider’s cable (in our case, a patch cord coming from the modem). Lastly, power is supplied to the router, and then you need to wait a minute.

If there is an exclamation mark on the connection icon on your computer, select the word “Fix” after right-clicking on the icon. You can access the web interface of D-Link routers at the following address: 192.168.0.1. Administrator password and login: admin and admin (or empty password and admin).

Additionally, note that if the connection error cannot be corrected within a minute after turning on the router, perform a hardware reset. This is also recommended when you cannot open the configuration interface. With the router turned on and loaded, press the reset button and hold it for 10-15 seconds.

Setting up a connection to Akado in the router

Having opened the first page of the web interface, select the configuration mode manually:


D-Link interface start page

Then, go to the “Network” -> “Connections” tab, click “Add”:


On the page that opens, you need to select the protocol used (for us it is PPPoE):

Setting up a PPPoE connection (beginning)

Don’t forget that the “MAC” field here should contain the value that we recommended writing down on the piece of paper in advance. Set the required sequence of characters using capital Latin letters.

Let's continue setting up the connection:


Setting up a PPPoE connection (continued)

The page we see contains all the required parameters.

You only need to set the values ​​of some of them:

  1. Login issued by Akado
  2. Confirmation password
  3. You need to check the “Keep Alive” box

The MTU value is left at default, but the “IGMP” checkbox can be checked (if you intend to configure IPTV)

It is important to know! The “NAT” and “Firewall” checkboxes must be checked in any case!


Configured connections tab

In the last step, do the following. In the menu located at the top right, select “System” -> “Save and reboot”. After rebooting, the connection will be automatically created. Happy setup!

How to connect a router to Akado?

Master's answer:

There are two ways to connect a Wi-Fi router to the Akado Internet: using a DSL router or by connecting a LAN router to a DSL modem that is already installed. The second option deserves detailed attention.

To work you will need a network cable.

If the computer already has a configured DSL modem that serves as the computer’s access to the Internet, in this case the network cable must be disconnected from the device. Connect to the WAN port of the new Wi-Fi router. Using the second network cable, you connect your desktop computer to the LAN connector of your router.

Launch the Internet browser and open the web interface for the Wi-Fi router settings. You must enter your username and password, after which you can access the settings. Open the WAN menu and select the DynamicIP function. In the “MAC address” field, enter the physical address of the network card of the computer from which the router was configured. Then click the CloneMACAddress button. The DNS address fields must contain the value 0.0.0.0.

By clicking the Apply button, you will save the entered settings. By entering the Wireless menu, activate the wireless access point. Set the type of security you require. After this, you will need to enter a password that will ensure connection to the wireless network. When working with the Akado network, you must disable the Firewall function, since it will only interfere. To do this, you need to set the Disable parameter.

After saving all the router settings, you need to reboot. After that, by logging into the web interface of the network equipment, open the Status menu. The value of the “MAC address” field must match the physical address of the PC’s network card. If the IP-address field is set to 0.0.0.0, you must click the DHCP Release and DHCP Renew buttons. In the Russian version of the firmware this may be “Update DHCP”.

The wireless access point has already been created, now all that remains is to connect the laptop to it. After opening the wireless network adapter settings, you need to select the TCP/IP Internet protocol. Next to the items “Obtain a DNS server address automatically” and “Obtain an IP address automatically” you need to check the boxes. The settings are saved.

AKADO is a telecommunications services operator providing Internet, digital television, radio and telephone services in the three largest cities of Russia: Moscow, Yekaterinburg and St. Petersburg. It has quite a lot of positive reviews, as it works on modern equipment and provides services according to the most modern standards.

The operator works using cutting-edge technology

Considering that the main technology for connecting to the World Wide Web is DOCSIS, many users have many questions about how to configure and connect equipment. We suggest you look into this in more detail.

What is DOCSIS technology?

DOCSIS technology involves the provision of all telecommunications services via television coaxial cable. That is, you can watch TV and use the Internet over one wire. This is very convenient because you don't have to run cables from multiple suppliers. In terms of payment, everything is also much more convenient.


There are several technology standards. The most modern is EuroDOCSIS 3.0. In most areas of Moscow it is this that is recycled. Currently the maximum access speed is 150 Mbit/sec. Prospects for the development of technology promise to reach speeds of up to 800 Mbit/s.

Configuring the router to work on the AKADO network

Connection diagram

When connecting to AKADO, a coaxial cable is routed into your room. It is no different from regular television cable. A splitter is installed at the entrance to the apartment. Its task is to distribute the signal between various devices. Other devices such as a modem, tuner or radio are connected to it. In our case, we will connect a router that supports DOCSIS technology. You don’t have to worry about where to purchase it, since the company provides the opportunity to buy or rent it when you connect. After that, you turn on the router and connect to its wireless network on any of your devices.

Router settings via web interface

  1. Connect the AKADO coaxial cable to the appropriate connector on the router. Screw it securely so that it is tightly secured.
  2. Connect the router to a 220 V electrical network, press the power button on the back panel of the device.


  1. At the back of the router you will find information about the login and password of the wireless network (SSID - network name, password - password), as well as credentials for entering the settings interface (Login - access address, ID - login, PW - password).
  2. Typically, setup is performed by logging in at 192.168.0.1, login - admin, password - admin or password. Use any browser.


  1. Since authorization occurs by the MAC address of the equipment, you will not need to enter any data. All you can change and configure is the network operating mode and security protocol. We recommend using the WPA2 standard and the AES encryption algorithm. They are the most reliable. You can find this item in the “Wireless Network Setting” section.


When you first connect, you will have to wait several hours until the Internet appears. This happens because the router's MAC address must be activated on the AKADO server.

Conclusion

As you can see, setting up the Internet from AKADO is not at all difficult. When you connect for the first time, our technicians will set up all the equipment for you. You will need to do everything yourself if you have rearranged the room, but you don’t want to wait for a repairman for several days.

Do you use the AKADO provider? We invite you to leave comments with feedback.

Depending on the subscriber’s address, connection to Akado Telecom is made using an Ethernet cable or a coaxial cable with a modem. You can find out more about the technology available at your address by contacting the technical support of your Internet provider by giving the street and house number. The router provided by the provider is configured by a wizard for free. For an additional fee, a company employee will help you set up third-party network equipment.

Connecting Akado via cable modem

For residents of homes connected to the provider via coaxial cable, Internet access is only possible using a cable modem. Internet provider Akado recommends devices from the following brands for networking using DOCSIS technology:

  • Technicolor;
  • HUMAX;
  • Motorola;
  • UPVEL;
  • Webstar;
  • SAGEM.

The job of a cable modem is to convert analog signals to digital signals. The converted data is sent through a network port to which a computer or WiFi router is connected. Connect the coaxial cable running into your house or apartment into the appropriate connector on the cable modem. Insert the cable from your WiFi router or computer into the Ethernet port. Plug in the device and wait for it to boot. After that, proceed to setting up the target equipment.


Important! Akado does not guarantee the correct operation of modems purchased from third-party suppliers. To be able to contact support to set up your equipment, use devices provided by your provider.

Setting up an Ethernet connection

If the subscriber's home is connected to the network using Ethernet technology, a standard network cable is laid into the room. Just connect it to your router, laptop or computer. Thanks to the DHCP server running on the provider's side, any device connected via cable will receive connection parameters automatically. Insert the cords into the appropriate connectors, plug the router into the outlet and press the power button if available.


Note! Connect the Akado cable to the “Internet” or “WAN” port. Local network devices must be connected to the “LAN” connectors.

How to set up WiFi on a router

Open the router's web interface at the address indicated on the sticker at the bottom of the device. Enter your standard username and password, then click the “Login” button. If the normal data is not suitable (an authorization error appears), restore the factory settings. To do this, press the “Reset” button and hold it for 10-15 seconds. Then try logging into the admin panel again.


Go to the “WiFi -> General Settings” section. Specify the name under which your wireless network will be displayed. Select automatic channel installation to avoid having to set the current operating range each time. On the “Security Settings” link, select the “WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK” option in the “Network Authentication” drop-down list. Set the PSK encryption key that will be used to connect to the WiFi network. Click “Change” in the lower right corner of the page, then click “Save” to reboot the WiFi router and start working with the new settings.


Important tip! In addition to the WiFi access key, do not forget to change the router password. Some models also allow you to change the login used to work with the control panel.

This instruction describes how to connect the router to the Akado Internet provider. To demonstrate how to operate the control panel, a D-Link router is used. The specified settings are suitable for both connection methods. Through Akado's network you can also connect interactive television (IPTV) and digital telephony. Using comprehensive tariff plans is more profitable than ordering services separately.
