The next creation of the very experienced hands of QTech developers has arrived for sale in the branches of Rostelecom; WiFi router QBR-1041WU v2S. With his appearance, he caused a lot of confusion among users. The fact is that on its sticker the model QBR-1040W is written in black and white, which I previously mentioned earlier.

Despite the similar functionality, these are still two different devices with a completely different web interface. And if you open the status page of the options of the new router, then a different hardware version is correctly written there; QTech QBR-1041WU v2S. Accordingly, the software platform is different.
Otherwise, the new product is unremarkable. The standard set for an economy class router is 4LAN+1WAN ports and a WiFi module operating in the classic 2.4 GHz band.

It’s hard to judge the quality of work yet; the model has only just reached the masses. If you are the happy owner of such a device and you have problems with its operation; Unstable Wi-Fi signal, disconnected Internet connection, etc. ; pay attention to its firmware version. Most likely it is old and the firmware needs to be updated.
By the way, MTS also has the same model. The firmware there is already customized for this operator, although the functionality is unlikely to be any different.

How to configure QBR-1041WU for FTTB Rostelecom

IP address of the Qtech QBR-1041WU v2 router on the local network; 192.168.1.1. It is also written on the sticker, although 192.168.0.1 was also found on some copies. If he doesn’t let one in at a time; try another one. I don’t know what this is connected with; how the information will appear; I'll unsubscribe. Default login and password; admin/admin.
After authorization, the following window appears:

I will consider the device configuration using the wizard separately. Now we will look at setting up the router manually, for which we press the corresponding button.

Internet connection

In the menu on the left, select WAN Settings;. In the list of virtual connections, select 1;. The device has nine such connections in total, eight of which are usually disabled. Detailed information on each of them can be found in the table at the bottom of the page.

In the Access Type list; you must select the protocol used in your Rostelecom branch.
Most branches use PPPoE. In the Username fields; and Password; You must enter the details from the card that you were given when connecting to the provider. In the Connection type column; set the value to Constant;.
All that remains is to check 3 boxes to allow dynamic uPnP port forwarding, IGMP multicast traffic and the ability to ping the device from outside.
Click on the Apply button.

Note: Some RTK branches use a connection via a Dynamic IP address. In this case it is even simpler; you just need to select this value, check three boxes and click on the Apply button;.

Digital television IPTV

If you have connected Interactive TV from Rostelecom, then almost always for this you need to additionally parallel one of the local LAN ports of the QBR-1041WU with an external one; WAN. To do this, open the Port Grouping section in the menu on the left:

Typically, the fourth port of the router is used for a TV set-top box. In the table we find its line in the Forwarding Rule column; set the value Bridge; (Bridge). If your branch needs to additionally specify the VLANID for television, then check the TAG box; and in the VID field; indicate the ID number. Also, I strongly recommend setting the value to 4; so that the image is less likely to glitch and crumble when the channel is loaded. We apply the configurations.

Wireless network

To configure WiFi on the Rostelecom QBR-1041WU router, you need to select the Wireless network section in the main menu of the web interface;. Let's start with the basic options:

Almost always here you only need to change the network name; SSID Any word in Latin will do for this.
Pay attention to the Stripe parameter. By default, all 3 available Wi-Fi samples operating in the 2.4 GHz range are used; 802.11B, G and N. If all your connected devices are modern, then you can only use the ideal 802.11N.
It is best to set the radio channel being used to Auto;.
Click on the Apply button; and go to the Security subsection:

Make sure that in the list Select SSID; the value was set to Root AP;. In the encryption list, you can select the WPA-Mixed option being used;. Then for it in the encryption packages you need to check the boxes: for WPA; TKIP, and for WPA2; AES.
If you want to be very protected from Wi-Fi hacking, then you need to select the WPA2 option and set it to the AES package.
Only the shared key remains in the field; register your Wi-Fi password for QBR-1041WU v2. A sequence of letters of the Latin alphabet and numbers longer than 8 characters is perfect for this purpose. We save the configurations.

Note: As a matter of course, do not forget to change the Administrator password in the Administration section;-;;Setting a password;. This is done in order not to catch a virus like Trojan.Rbrute, and also so that no one except you can change the configuration properties of the router.

Under MTS, setting up a router comes down to setting a password with a login. Here we are talking about a router connected via ADSL and issued by the provider itself. In fact, it is better to know how to set up a connection from scratch without the help of technical support. Let's look at how to establish a connection to MTS (Stream, Dom.ru or MGTS) if you are using a device of the following model: QBR-1041WU v2.

Router appearance

The router itself, which is shown in the photo, is equipped with an ADSL port, as well as four LAN ports. Some firmware designed for it provides the following: one LAN port is used as a WAN (Ethernet) port. The ADSL module is then not used. We, in turn, will consider the standard option: the telephone cord is connected to the ADSL connector, the settings are made PPPoE connections(MTS).

Features of the MTS PPPoE protocol

It would seem that it can be difficult when setting up a connection “by telephone”. Typically a protocol called PPPoE is used, which allows for subscriber identification. All you have to do is set your username and password, and that’s it. In fact, there is also a TCP/IP layer that sits “above PPPoE”.

The MTS provider uses a static or dynamic IP address, and there is an option “PPPoE without an IP address.” The latter does not apply to MTS, but just such a protocol is implemented in many routers. Some models support both. Hence the conclusion: not every device can be connected to MTS in principle. DNS addresses, in turn, are specified explicitly in the router interface. Suitable values ​​must be determined in advance, before setting up.

Connect the computer, open the interface

The first or fourth LAN port must be connected to a computer (with a network card connector). To do this, use the patch cord included in the kit. It is not recommended to use port "3" or "2", as they may be disabled. The network card itself is configured like this:

PC wired connection settings

It is better to clarify the address of the alternative DNS server in advance (different numbers are appropriate in different regions). Well, 192.168.1.1 is the address of the router itself.

Apply power to the router and reboot the computer. There is no need to remind you that the telephone cable should already be connected at this moment. After a minute, you can open your browser to navigate to the address “192.168.1.1”. You will need to go through identification:

Open the web interface of the router

The password and login admin are suitable here. If this is your first time setting up, the following page will appear:

Password update tab

Setting up an MTS Internet connection

To connect your router to the Internet, you need to set up an ADSL connection. To perform this action, simply go to the “Interface Settings” -> “Internet” tab. By default, the “WAN” port may be used, which we do not need:

Internet connection settings tab

The topmost list on the page should contain the value “ADSL”. Select it, and what to do next will be discussed now.

Step-by-step setup of the PPPoE protocol

When the top list is set to "ADSL", the page contains the maximum number of options. It will look like this:

"Phone" PPPoE + Dynamic IP

Before setting up, you need to find out what login and password is used, as well as what exactly is to be set as the IP address. If the address is provided “automatically”, configure everything as in the example. Otherwise, move the selector to the “Static” position and fill in three numeric fields: IP address, mask, gateway. We hope everything is clear here.

Just in case, we list the values ​​of all parameters:

1. The "PVC" list must contain the number "0";
2. VPI/VCI fields – numbers 1/50 (true for MTS);
3. "ADSL QoS" - UBR;
4. IP address version – IPv4;
5. Connection mode – PPPoA/PPPoE;
6. VLAN – Disable;
7. Login and password - as in the contract;
8. Encapsulation – LLC;
9. Authentication – Auto;
10. Bridge – Off;
11. Connection – Always on;
12. Default route – Yes;
13. NAT – Enable;
14. MTU – 0, or 1492, or 1490.

We have already talked about how to set “IP options” (an example is given for “dynamic IP”). Finally, click “Save.” The connection should become active in 1-2 minutes; you do not need to reboot the router.

What to do with DNS?

Registering DNS addresses on each of the local devices is inconvenient. But there is a way out. Just go to the tab " The local network"to set the required values ​​in the "DNS" block:

Provider DNS server addresses

There is no need to set the address “192.168.1.1” here, it is useless. Both suitable values ​​are given on the MTS website.

Further, if the built-in DHCP server is enabled, you have the opportunity to set the “auto” parameter on all local devices. The network card is configured as follows: “auto IP”, “auto DNS”. By the way, if you are using a protocol with a dynamic IP address, then try leaving the “DNS Relay” selector in the “Automatic” position. Maybe it will work out.

Setting up the router's wireless network

Stay on the “Interface Settings” -> “Local Network” tab. Verify that the DHCP service is active on all required ports:

Local Network tab, DHCP

Make changes if necessary and click Save. All we have to do is configure the Wi-Fi network distributed by our router, for which we go to the “Wireless Network” tab:

Wireless Settings Page

Here we enable the access point, set its name and operating mode (b/g/n), and also enable encryption (WPA2-PSK) and set a password. Let the rest be by default, and save the settings with the “Save” button.

Please be aware that your wireless network settings will take effect as soon as you reboot your router.

To do this, go to the “Maintenance” -> “System Restart” tab, select the “Restart device” selector and click “Restart”. Anyone who leaves the selector in the “Reset device...” position will have to blame themselves (they will have to set everything up again). If the router is configured and working, perform the following check: you need to disconnect the device from the power supply, wait 20 seconds and turn it on again. All functions should remain available.
