Connecting the device

To connect the Beeline Smart Box Wi – Fi router, you need to decide what kind of connection you want to establish:

Wired;
Wi-Fi.

The first option is more convenient to use for initial connection. To do this, install the cable, which the Beeline operator has brought into your apartment, into the extreme socket of the router marked "WAN". After that, use a fiber-optic cable (patch cord) to connect the router to your computer: one end of the cord must be installed in one of the four connectors of the router marked LAN, the other end in network card PC.

To configure the operation of the router via Wi – Fi, the router will need to be connected only to the provider's cable (via the WAN connector) and already on the computer start a search for new equipment.

Setting process

We will configure Smart Box through a web browser on a computer. After connecting all the cables, turn on the computer, launch the browser and type the combination "192.168.1.1" in its address bar. This is the IP address of your device on the local network. You can see this data on the back of your Wi – Fi router. There is also a username and password, which we will also need for further configuration.

The first time you enter the configurator, you will see a welcome window. Click the button "Proceed", and a new window will open in front of you, in which you will need to enter your username and password. By default, all Beeline subscribers have admin / admin.

Now you need to activate the menu button "Quick setup"... The configuration form is quite simple, each section has its own tips, but even without them, everything is intuitive. Here you will need to enter the following data:

for home internet:

Login is the number of your contract with the provider;
Password - a combination for Internet access, which was determined by the provider.

for the Wi – Fi network of the router:

Network name - create a name for your Wi – Fi connection (SSID);
Password - come up with a secret cipher for entering the Wi-Fi network (from 8 characters).

for a guest Wi – Fi network (optional):

Set the same parameters for the guest wireless network of your router.

for the Beeline-TV service (optional):

These are the television settings (here you will indicate the number of the LAN connector into which you will connect the TV receiver).

Save the entered data and wait for the equipment to apply the new settings to its work. That's the whole process of setting up the router, now you have the Internet in your house.

If you don't want the wires to ruin appearance your home, you can establish a wireless connection, but for this, your PC or laptop must have a built-in or separately purchased Wi-Fi adapter:

Turn on the Wi-Fi function on your laptop (or PC).
Open the menu "Control Panel".
Find the item in it "Network connections".
Go to the section "Wireless network connection» and select the network you want to connect to.

Today all new routers can operate in two frequency modes:

At a frequency of 2.4 GHz;
At 5 GHz.

The first option is more common, but many devices work at this frequency, so there may be interference in the network. Almost no one uses the 5 GHz frequency, it has a slightly shorter range, but the signal purity and speed is higher .

After you have selected the desired channel, you will need to enter the login and password for the secure Wi-Fi network and save all the changes made.

The operator's website has three special detailed instructions for connecting a computer, mobile devices or SmartTV to the router's Wi-Fi network - https://moskva.beeline.ru/customers/help/home/domashniy-internet/instrukcii-dlya-mob- ustroistv /

In the menu that opens, select the item "Advanced settings".
At the top of the window, find the bookmark "Wi-Fi" and go to this menu.

Smart Box Beeline router can work with other Internet providers. If a new operator provides Internet network services using the DHCP dynamic configuration protocol or uses the network protocol of the link layer PPPoE, the equipment setting can be easily changed in the user account.

Note.

In our city, the Internet provider Beeline began to connect subscribers via the so-called "optics to the house" - FTTB - in parallel with Rostelecom. Dom.ru didn't even exist then. At first, it was proposed different models WiFi routers flashed with proprietary firmware - D-Link DIR-300, TrendNet, NetGear, etc. Then a new model appeared, which gradually replaced the rest - this is the Smart Box router. As it turned out later, this is actually the only good branded router not only for Beeline, but also among competing providers.
Setting up Smart Box yourself is very simple and there is no need to call a specialist. Now I will tell you how to do it.

Entering the configurator interface:

IP-address of the device in the local network (), as well as login and password for entering the configurator ( admin / admin) can be found on the sticker located on the bottom of the case:

After that, open a web browser and enter the address - http://192.168.1.1. Press the Enter key and see this greeting.

Click on the "Continue" button and see the following authorization form:

We enter the login admin, the password admin and get into the start menu of the Smart Box settings from Beeline.

Basic Smart Box setup

In the start menu, we need to call the configuration wizard, for which we click on the "Quick setup" button:

This will take you to the page where all the necessary parameters are collected. Honestly, as far as I remember, this was done by Dom.ru. On devices from Rostelecom and TTK, everything is much more complicated and confusing for an unprepared user.

In the field "Login" and "Password" you must enter the data for authorization in the billing Beeline. The account number is used as a login in our area. I think that it is organized this way in other areas as well.
In the "Network name" field, you need to come up with and enter the name of your home Wi-Fi network on the Smart Box. In the "Password" field, you also need to register a key phrase that the router will ask for when connecting to its Wi-Fi.
If you also connected the Beeline television, then in the very bottom section of the menu called "Beeline TV" you should mark the LAN port into which the set-top box will be connected. Click on the "Save" button.
That's all. You can check the operation of the device!

Something is not clear - watch the video instruction.

Smart Box firmware

As with any other router, you need to periodically update the firmware for Smart Box from Beeline to a more recent one. This measure is necessary, as the new firmware versions fix the problems that were in the previous ones. Download latest version on the official Beeline website - link.

In order to reflash the Smart Box router, you need to click on the "Advanced settings" button in the start menu:

In the window that appears, open the menu section Others >>> Software update:

Click on the "Select file" button, find and feed the firmware file to the Smartbox. Now you need to click the "Perform update" button. The following picture will appear:

After completing the process, the router will reboot itself. This usually does not reset the settings. But even if they reset, don't be alarmed, according to the instructions above, you can set everything up yourself without any problems!

Working with other providers

Now the transition from one telecom operator to another is a quite common procedure. Everyone is looking for a cheaper tariff, higher speed, sweeter conditions. This is understandable and quite normal. The Smart Box router is locked on Beeline. But if you have a Superuser password, then you can configure it for other providers. And at the same time, everything is done using standard software and no alternative firmware not required. The elevated user login is SuperUser. Password for firmware up to version 2.0.24 inclusive - Beeline $ martB0x. After version 2.0.25, the superadmin password was changed. Now the serial number of the device is used as SF **********. You can see it on the sticker. For example, on my device it is SF13F4FF1F78.
Next, open Advanced Settings >> Others >> WAN... Smartbox works seamlessly with almost any other provider. Here is an example of setting it up for Rostelecom and Dom.ru:

The router supports virtual VLANs, which means there will be no problems with interactive TV from Rostelecom, TTK, and Dom.ru!
