Set up the sagemcom fast 2804 modem from Rostelecom. How to configure a Rostelecom router? Step-by-step instructions, recommendations and reviews

I told you how to set up the Sagemcom f@st 2804 v7 universal router for Rostelecom via an ADSL line. Now it's FTTB's turn. Let me immediately draw your attention to the fact that setting up the Sagemcom f@st 2804 to connect to the Internet usually goes without any problems. But connecting digital television to Rostelecom TV and SIP telephony can be complicated by the fact that in some branches it is necessary to clearly indicate the VLAN ID for each service. This cannot be done in the configurator program. Therefore, if you need to specify a VLAN for IPTV or SIP, find out these parameters from technical support and, after setting up the router, change them in the router’s web interface.

We insert the CD into the drive, install the Sagemcom 2804 configurator program from Rostelecom and run it:

Select the item “ Full customization Universal router." Click the “Next” button.

Select your macroregion on the map.

Then select the area.

The next step is to select the connection type. The default is ADSL, change it to Ethernet:

Connecting the router to the computer network LAN cable included...

... and turn on the power of the Sagemcom f@st 2804 Universal Router. Click “Next”.

We agree that the program will begin the process of identifying the equipment - click “Yes”.

We are waiting for the verification and configuration to take place network card, and the following window will open:

We don’t need to reserve a channel via a 3G modem - uncheck the box and click the “Next” button.

Here the program asks you to enter the login and password for connecting to the Internet, which you received when concluding the agreement. Enter them into the appropriate fields and move on.

Let's start connecting the equipment:

We connect the provider cable entering the apartment to the first LAN port.

IPTV set-top box for digital Rostelecom TV - to 4th LAN port.

A SIP phone - to the third LAN connector . Click the “Next” button.

A confirmation window will open to start setting up the Sagemcom f@st 2804:

Click the “Yes” button.

We are waiting for the program to configure Rostelecom router and will diagnose the connection:

If any check fails, try going through all the steps again.

Now the Sagemcom 2804 firmware updates will be checked. If the Rostelecom server has a new version- it will be automatically installed on the router. Otherwise, you will see this message:

This means that your router has the latest firmware installed. Click the “Next” button.

The final stage of the configuration is setting up WiFi on the Sagemcom 2804:

Click the “Change” button WiFi settings" We change the name of the wireless network (SSID) to something of our own (a word in English, transliterated, or a number). In the Password field, enter the wireless network key (aka WiFi password) and select the Protection type WPA2-PSK. Click the Next button.

Setting up a universal router Rostelecom Sagemcom f@st 2804 v7 completed.

In the vastness of our market, a universal and inexpensive device has been spotted - the multifunctional ADSL router F st 2804 v7. In the version provided by Rostelecom, everything is perfectly configured from the included CD. But MTS today provides a similar device with an even greater range of capabilities, but it must be configured via a web interface. In general, the MTC Fast 2804 router creates an ADSL connection no worse than devices from Rostelecom. How to set it up is discussed below.

Routers Fast 2804

In fact, all devices with the word “Fast 2804” in their name are produced by one company – Sagem (also known as Sagemcom). Routers of versions v3, v5 and v7 have reached our country. They may differ in the shape of the case, in addition, the graphical interface is made for a specific provider. In general, these routers have the same capabilities. In terms of setup, the “from MTS” option is the most complicated, although it can create an ADSL connection. We are trying to configure this router for a connection under the PPPoE protocol, in case the connection is provided by a telephone wire. Let's get started.

Setting up basic functions

Connecting the router before setting up

We will configure the MTS device like any other “home” router. First, we connect any LAN port to the PC network card with the supplied patch cord:

Connecting the router to a PC

Then, connect to the ADSL port telephone cable(you can use the splitter from the kit). At the final stage, power is supplied to the router (but first, you need to configure the network card in the PC):

Setting up a wired connection on your computer

This completes the preparatory steps. After turning on the router, you need to wait 2-3 minutes, after which you can log into the graphical interface from your computer.

Authorization in the graphical interface

On your computer you need to open any browser (at least IE5) and go to the address: 192.168.1.1.

If everything is done correctly, an authorization window will appear. “admin” is suitable as a login (and “mts” as a password). If authorization is passed, the user will see the following tab:

Main tab of the web interface

The graphical web interface is divided into tabs, which are combined into two lists: “Basic settings”, “Advanced settings”. The first list, as you can see, contains 5 different tabs. Now we will look at how to set up an ADSL connection.

Setting up a connection (PPPoE option)

The F st 2804 router can connect to the Internet via a telephone wire or a 3G modem. We will look at the simplest setup option, when the built-in ADSL modem is used to create a connection, and the provider’s protocol is called “PPPoE”.

Before setting it up, it’s better to write it down on a separate piece of paper:

  1. Subscriber name and password (found in the contract);
  2. VPI and VCI parameter values ​​used by this provider (for example, 0 and 30);
  3. PPPoE encapsulation type: LLC or VC-Mux;
  4. For a permanent IP address (a separate service, usually provided for a fee), you need to know the value of the address.

Settings are made on the advanced mode tabs. Go to this list of tabs, enable English language. On the “Wan Service” tab, located in the “Advanced Setup” menu, you will need to remove (using “Remove”) all existing interfaces:

WAN interface tab with “old” values

ATM interface tab

The same must be done here. Then, you need to go to the “Wan Service” tab again. And now click the “Add” button:

A tab will appear to configure a new connection, where you can select a value, as in the figure:

Settings tab

Then you need to click “Next”. On the next tab, you need to set the VPI and VCI values ​​(instead of the numbers 1 and 91):

For example, if the values ​​0 and 30 are true, the string would be "pppoe_0_0_30_3". Do not leave the values ​​as is - they do not correspond to the user's provider.

In addition, the connection protocol is selected here (after selecting PPPoE, a list will appear where you need to select LLC or VC-Mux). After completing the settings, you can click “Next”.

Connection settings tab

On the next tab, set the user name and password. For a dynamic IP address, you don't need to change anything else. “IGMP Proxy” can be enabled if you plan to watch IPTV. But for a constant IP value, you need to check the “Use static IPv4” checkbox and fill in the field that appears.

After completing the settings, you need to click “Next”, and “Next” again. A tab will appear where you can leave auto mode obtaining DNS (or setting certain address values). And the final tab looks like this:

Final connection settings tab

By clicking “Apply/Save” we get a new working connection.

Device Information Tab

The presence of a connection can be judged by the state of the main tab. Happy setup!

Enabling the wireless network

Tune Wi-Fi network– we will, using “advanced settings”. The “Basic” tab from the “Wireless” menu allows you to configure everything you need:

Setting up a wireless network

Let us explain the meanings of the parameters. “Enable Wireless” turns on the transmitter, and “Hide Access Point” will allow you to work with a hidden name.

The SSID field contains the network name (set as required). It is better to set the Country to “RU”. After completing the settings, click the “Apply/Save” button. Wireless network will appear automatically.

notice, that universal router F st 2804 has serious capabilities. For example, the device independently selects the least noisy channel (in the 2.4 GHz range). Automatic selection mode – can be disabled. The transmitter power can also be adjusted. All these parameters are located on the “Advanced” tab, but the user is not recommended to change them unless properly qualified.

The “Security” tab contains encryption options. We do not consider setting up network security.

Additional router features

Setting up IPTV

Oddly enough, the Fast 2804 router creates Internet connections that are several times faster than 3-4 Mbit/s. Therefore, you can view IPTV through computers connected to the local network. To enable this option, you must:

  • When setting up a connection, check the “Multicast Proxy” box (discussed above);
  • On the local network settings tab (“Advanced Setup” -> “LAN” among the “additional settings” of the router), you need to check the “IGMP Snooping” checkbox:

LAN settings tab

After completing these settings, you can watch TV through any computer connected to the router’s network. Now in local network from the Internet - multicast packets used in IPTV arrive.

Additionally, it is possible to limit multicast traffic on the wireless network. To do this, you need to go to the “Wireless” -> “Advanced” tab (also located in the “advanced settings”) to set the required value in the “Multicast Rate” list. An acceptable choice is 9, 11 or 12 Mbit/s, which is enough for FullHD viewing.

Question answer

Question: I can’t access the graphical interface. IP address 192.168.1.1 is not available.

You can try resetting the router to factory settings. To do this, after turning it on, you need to wait 2 minutes, then press the “RST” button on the rear panel (holding it for 15-30 seconds).

Question: what is the speed of wireless connections, was it not said about choosing a mode (N/G/B)?

This router operates in “mixed” B/G/N mode, maximum speed transmission in the wireless network is 65 Mbit/s. The use of the “N Only” mode (N only) is not provided.

How to remove the router from the package and connect it correctly is shown in the video:

This article is dedicated to the Sagemcom f@st 2804 device. In the recent past, Rostelecom and MTS began to actively promote it. The latter supplies it under the name “MTS Universal Router”.

  • 3G modem, Wimax, Fon;
  • on PC and TV IP television;
  • wireless Wi Fi connection (802.11 n\b\g)

The modem is connected in the following order. We connect the cable to the RJ-11 connector via a splitter. The universal router is connected to the computer using Ethernet cable, for this there are four connectors on the back of the router. The external modem is connected to the USB port, then the router itself is connected to the network.

An external modem can be used to reserve an Internet channel. If the main channel is interrupted, the device will automatically switch to a connection via an external modem.

Setting up the router

Having established an Ethernet connection, open the browser and enter the IP address of the device. The default address is set to: 192.168.1.1. After this, the system will require authorization. We enter your username and password, or leave the default one, then in the window that opens all the settings necessary for working with the Internet appear: universal router settings, connection parameters, channel configuration, wireless connection.

A separate tab provides advanced configuration of the f st 2804 router, which is required for experienced users. Once you enter and save the required data, the connection setup is complete.

It was mentioned above about the possible reservation of a channel for those cases when the main connection is lost. This is done in the following tab: “3G channel configuration”. We put a tick in the inclusion point, and after 15 seconds. the device will automatically switch to the connection via the backup channel. When the main connection is restored, the router will automatically switch back.

Setting up a wireless connection, in basic parameters contains: enabling the WLAN module, the function of not detecting an access point, the Mac address of the wireless connection, network authentication and selecting the channel through which the router communicates with clients.

In the “Management” tab, you can back up setup data, update or restore the system. After update software devices, previously used settings are retained. The update takes place in a couple of minutes.

Let's summarize the above

IN Lately Rostelecom is actively distributing routers of the Sagemcom f@st 1744 model to its subscribers different versions. I won’t say anything good about them, nor anything particularly bad. Iron is like iron, with its glitches. So, for example, several times I came across the fact that until you flash the router latest version firmware, it doesn’t want to work normally: either WiFi turns off or the Internet falls off. A couple of times we came across defective copies - one had a wireless module that didn’t work when new, and another had a burnt-out power supply. But with the same DIR-300 from D-Link sometimes more problems snatched it away.

In terms of configuration, Sagemcom 1744 v2, v2.2 and V4 are almost identical one to one. The process itself is a little confusing, but for the inexperienced there is also a special quick setup wizard. True, once on the version of Sajemcom 1744 v2.2 it refused to work for me until I decided to reflash the router. After that everything went like clockwork.

Another point that needs to be mentioned is that different IP addresses are used to log into the web interface of Rostelecom routers:
Sagemcom f@st 1744 v2 and v2.2 -
Sagemcom f@st 1744 v4 —
In general, you can try to log in through the hostname by entering the address http://rt. If you have your network card settings set to automatically obtain an IP address, then the web interface should be available this way. Although, personally, I prefer the old fashioned way, via IP.
When you first enter the configurator, the device will ask you to change the standard admin password to any other, more complex one:

How to configure a Sagemcom 1744 router using the wizard

For the convenience of both installers and subscribers themselves, a Wizard is built into the web interface of the universal router, with which you can quickly make basic settings for the Sajemcom Fast 1744 router for Rostelecom by simply answering a number of questions. First of all, you need to select a setting option:

Click on the “Start the wizard” button. Next you will see the choice of your Rostelecom branch:

You must immediately select the connected Service. Usually it's either just the Internet or Internet + TV. Very rarely, but it happens that SIP telephony is also connected. Click on the “Continue” button.

In the third step, you need to register the login and password that the agent gave you when the contract was concluded. If your branch does not use PPPoE, but Dynamic IP, then this step will not occur at all.
The next step will be to select a port for the TV set-top box (if, of course, you have this service connected):

In some Rostelecom branches, like ours, you must additionally specify the VLAN ID for digital TV. This can usually be obtained from your local technical support. True, sometimes you have to quarrel a lot first.

The last step is setting up WiFi on the Sagemcom 1744. It consists of entering the name of the wireless network that you will use and the password for connecting to Wi-Fi.

At the final step, we simply check the data against the table again. Click on “Continue” for the device to save the settings.

Advanced configuration of Sajemcom 1744 from Rostelecom

This method of setting up a Sagemcom f@st 1744 v4, v2 or v2.2 router is a little more complicated. It is complicated because when using it, the user can see all the variety of available parameters and this is very frightening for an unprepared and inexperienced user. Although, in fact, there is nothing to be afraid of - everything is simple and clear.

A good place to start is by completely removing existing connections. To do this, you need to go to the section Network >> WAN and at the very bottom of the page find the table of active WAN interfaces:

In my example, this is one single PPP connection. We delete it by clicking on the icon in the form of a trash can.

Connecting the Internet

To set up access to the global network on Sajmcom, open the section Network >> WAN:

In the “Interface Type” field, you must select the protocol used in the branch. We use PPPoE in Rostelecom - that’s what we install. Below there will be a PPP subsection in which you must indicate the “Username” and “Password” for the connection (usually issued on the card by the agent when signing the contract). Click the "Add" button to remember the connection on the router.

In some areas, Rostelecom uses the IPoE connection type (aka Dynamic IP):

Setting it up is even easier than PPPoE. Just select a value IPoE in the “Interface Type” field and click on “Add”. All! Fast and easy!

Setting up WiFi on F@st 1744

To set up wireless network Wi-Fi on the Sajemcom Fast 1744 router - open the menu section Network >> WLAN. Let's start with the "Basic setup" subsection:

Here you can leave almost all parameters unchanged except the network name - SSID. Here you can write whatever your heart desires. The main thing is that it is in transliteration and without spaces or special characters. Apply the changes and go to the “Security” subsection:

Here's everything about protecting your Wi-Fi on Sagemcom 1744 from Rostelecom. In the “Encryption” list set “WPA2-Mixed”. The “WPA Mode” parameter will default to “Personal”, and the “Shared Key Format” will default to “Passphrase”. There is no need to change this. All that remains is to enter the WiFi password in the “Shared Key” field. It is better to make it more complex and not shorter than 8-10 characters. Click on the “Apply” button.

Digital TV and IGMP

If you also have connected Interactive television Rostelecom, then for this service on the Sajemcom router you also need to make additional settings. Most provider branches use the following scheme:

First of all, in the section Network >> WAN you need to make a new connection with the “Bridge” interface type:

If you have Rostelecom in your city for IPTV settings on the router you need to register a VLAN ID (can be found separately in the technical support of the telecom operator), then in the “VLAN” subsection you need to check the “Enabled” box and enter the wilan number in the “VLAN ID” field. I would also recommend setting the value 4 below in the “802.1P” list. Thanks to this, when the router is loaded, the image on the TV will not crumble. Click the “Add” button.

The second step is to separate one of the LAN ports for the set-top box. This is done in the section Advanced >> Interface grouping:

First you need to turn it on. Next you will need to put an end to Group1. Above, using the “Add” button, you need to transfer from the fields on the left to the field on the right the created Bridge type interface (in the example this is WAN1) and the port into which the TV set-top box will be connected. This is my 4th LAN port. Click on the Apply button.

Also, if you suddenly have problems with IPTV on Sagemcom f@st 1744, then I would advise you to go to the section Services >> IGMP Proxy:

Here you need to check that opposite the line “Multicast allowed” there is a checkbox “On”. Without this, there will be no image on the TV screen, since digital TV will not be broadcast through the router!
