Rt wifi

As of this writing, Rostelecom provides its subscribers with about 50 models of different modems, WiFi routers and GPON optical terminals. Most of them have firmware and the operator's logo on the body. At the same time, the provider is not engaged in the production of access equipment. Under the Rostelecom logo, you can find devices from D-Link, Rotek, Sercomm, Huawei, Sagemcom, Eltex, ZTE, etc. As you can see, the choice of hardware is quite wide. In this manual I will show you how to enter the settings of your Rostelecom router, ADSL modem or optical terminal, even if you are not an expert in this field.

168.0.1 – Rostelecom router login

Many Rostelecom routers have 192.168.0.1 IP address by default. It is written in the configuration manual, as well as quite often it can be seen in the sticker on the device. If you have set up such a network device at least once, you should know that you can enter the settings of a Wi-Fi router, ADSL modem or PON-terminal through 192.168.0.1. With branded routers from leading Russian providers all the same. Unfortunately not everyone and not always can get into the configuration interface without any problems. In this post I want to show you how to log into the personal cabinet of the router Rostelecom at 192.168.0.1, what is the login and password admin/admin, where and how to enter all this and what to do if the router's site does not open.

How to connect to a Rostelecom router

For those who are totally ignorant – a little literacy. Wi-Fi router, as well as PON-terminal or modem is a small computer, which runs on its own specialized operating system. It is a completely independent device and does not require a permanent connection to a computer or laptop. But when connecting it for the first time, it must be properly configured so that it can connect to the ISP network and then distribute the Internet to all devices connected to it. To do this, the ISP cable is included in the port signed as WAN or Internet:

Then connect the cable between the network card of the computer and the first LAN port of the router. Then the corresponding LED on the router should light up.

Note: You can configure the router from a phone or tablet via Wi-Fi, but you can do this only if you know its wireless network name and password. On some models, it as well as the IP 192.168.0.1 is written in the sticker:

wifi router ssid

But this is unfortunately not always the case and more often you have to connect to the modem with a cable.

After you managed to connect to the router physically, you will need to enter its so-called "My Account". Any such device has its own IP address – usually it is 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1. This address is entered into the browser:

On some modern models for the convenience of customers instead of a digital IP on a sticker you can find a symbolic address http://rt – its scientific name is hostname. Here is a modem ZTE for example:

WiFi capabilities from Rostelecom

The company runs a fiber optic cable. Then the cable is connected to a powerful router and an external antenna. Such an antenna can beat for several kilometers around. The rest of the villagers can easily connect to the wireless network and use the Internet. There are currently three access point networks:

  • RTWiFi – payment is made by the day, but essentially pennies. From 1.5 rubles per day. Over 30 days the sum is not that big.
  • RTOpen – You can only connect to the portal and personal account lk.rt.ru. This is needed to pay or to change tariffs.
  • RT Free – Unfortunately, but this network is limited in the number of resources. Also, to access it, you must first register through your personal account.

NOTE! On some towers, networks may be called "RT wifi 7b40" or "RT wifi cad7". Subsequently, they must be renamed "RTWiFi", "RTOpen" or "RTFree".

Accordingly, you can't access it via 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.1.1. How do you know the IP router Rostelecom? Very easy! You need to run a command line in Windows and write there the command ipconfig.

Setting up the equipment

Hardware Setup

Rural WiFi Rostelecom utsn in the village and hamlet

As part of the Elimination of the Digital Divide (EDD) program, Russia's largest Internet service provider, Rostelecom, has begun the active construction of WiFi access points in rural areas. What is this program? It all began with the fact that the modern law "On Communications" prescribes a clause that reads: "in all settlements with a population of 250 to 500 people must be organized access points to the global Internet with an access speed of at least 10 Mbit/s." Back in 2014, Rostelecom was appointed as the only operator to provide this service. And in 2015 the construction began.
In fact, it looks as follows: an optical line is built to the village, a switch is installed in the village, and an access point is connected to it, to which, in turn, an antenna with circular coverage is connected. The coverage area is about 100 meters from the hot spot.
All the equipment is from Russian vendors Rostec (aka RaiseCom) and Eltex. Personally I'm not crazy about these vendors, but I hope they will upgrade their hardware to an acceptable working quality for this program.

RTOpen – is an open network without a key. Only the information page and the Personal account of Rostelecom – lk.rt.ru – are accessible. Its meaning is that the user can get information about the service and, if he is interested in it, register in the Personal Area and get the login / password to the closed network.

RTFree – is free access to several resources from the list of the Ministry of Communications. Among them is the GosServices portal. The network is closed and you have to register via RTOpen to connect to it. (Disabled since 2017)

RTWi-Fi – Paid unlimited access to the Internet at a certain rate. We have it 1.5 rubles per day (that is somewhere around 45 rubles per month).

Organization of work of the CNS network since 2018

Starting this year, the communication scheme is gradually changing. Only one wireless network remains. Now both registration and access to the global network is done through one SSID:

Rostelecom_UUS. – Authorization is made in one of three ways – by SMS, phone call or via the login on the GosServices portal, after which the access to the Internet will be opened. When setting up access via access points TP-Link CPE210 or Ubiquiti NanoStation M2 you just need to change the point you are using to Rostelecom_UUS and save. Then at the first attempt to open any site the authorization window will appear. We enter data, authorize and work!

According to the users of WiFi network on the program Elimination of Digital Inequality, after switching to a new scheme of work the speed of access through the UCR became much higher.
