What do you need to connect to the Rostelecom Internet? Which line is better? How long to wait for a landline phone connection. Connecting the Internet on a laptop: all possible methods

Have a nice time!

Russia is a big country, and communication is a problem different corners our country has always been relevant. With the development of Internet technologies, this problem is partially solved, however, everything is still far from simple...

In this article I decided to consider various ways connection to the Internet. It is not my goal to tell all the intricacies of each option. Perhaps the mission of this article is different - to introduce you to different options and connection methods may give you the idea to look for something better...

It’s just that at one time I was very surprised how people still managed to “sit” on a Dial-Up connection, when providers with “dedicated” (Ethernet) came to our city for a couple of years already. It turns out that many simply did not yet know that you can connect to this Internet provider almost free of charge and get speeds ten times higher!

And so, I finish the memoirs and move on to the topic...

How to connect to the Internet. Pros/cons of different methods

Connection via telephone line (ADSL or Dial-Up)

The most common type of Internet connection. A regular telephone line is available everywhere - in almost every locality (thanks to the Soviet Union for electrification and telephone installation).

Dial-Up

In parallel, a modem is connected to your telephone set (to the telephone line) (like a second telephone). Further, operators usually have special numbers through which you can access the Internet (by dialing them from a modem, of course).

In general, I note that this method is gradually “dying out” and disappearing into oblivion: in our country, after all, a program has been adopted for the development and laying of networks even in remote areas.

Pros:

  1. high accessibility (you can connect to the Internet even in many remote villages of our country);
  2. low cost of equipment (you only need a modem, which can be found for less than 100 rubles!).
  3. You can connect yourself: just buy a modem, connect it to a telephone line and configure the connection on your PC.

Cons:

  1. very low speed (up to 56/128 Kbps). It’s only enough to view pages (you can’t even dream about downloading files);
  2. high cost;
  3. low connection stability: the connection often breaks;
  4. the phone will be busy (when accessing the Internet).

Addition!

ADSL

This method also uses a telephone line, but has a significant advantage: the phone will not be busy while working with the Internet, and it provides much higher speed (up to 8 Mbit/s).

Among the disadvantages: the higher cost of equipment (than with a Dial-Up connection), and the inability (in most cases) to set up the connection yourself without specialists from the operator you are going to connect to.

Leased line (Ethernet, GPON, DOCSIS)

Ethernet/GPON

The most common type of Internet connection in all major cities. A cable is laid into your apartment (like a television cable, only it has more wires), which connects either directly to the network card of the computer/laptop, or to a Wi-Fi router (to create a wireless network in the apartment).

Pros:

  1. high data transfer speed (up to 100 Mbit/s with Ethernet, and up to 1 Gbit/s with GPON connection (fiber optics)). By the way, there is another popular type of FTTB connection - this is “optics” extended to your home (but not to your apartment!);
  2. low cost of services (unlimited connection will cost only a few hundred rubles per month);
  3. stable and high-quality connection, with low ping, which is very important for game lovers (one of the most stable today);
  4. you don’t need to buy anything additional: a network card is included in every modern PC (and companies often provide a Wi-Fi router for free...).

Cons:

  1. the need to lay cables in an apartment/house;
  2. available only in relatively large cities (and if you have a new or remote area, it may well be that not a single operator has connected your home).

Via coaxial (TV) cable (DOCSIS)

This type of connection is not common in our country. The connection to the Internet is carried out via a television cable (CTV), providing speeds of up to 42 Mbit/s (you must agree that this is not much, given modern realities).

The principle is approximately the following: a special cable is connected to the television cable. cable modem - one output goes to the PC (internet is distributed), the other to the TV. You can work with the Internet in parallel with watching TV programs (one does not interfere with the other!).

In general, this type of connection is more used in residential and remote areas, where there is simply no other choice (say, Ethernet). Well, or in those cases when you already use cable TV services and there is no desire (possibility) to lay another cable into the apartment (for example, it is unreasonably expensive).

Wireless and mobile Internet access (GPRS, EDGE, 3G/4G, WiMax, etc.)

The most advanced and one of the most developing areas. I don’t even dare to single out any type of connection separately. Perhaps we should pay attention to 3G/4G because... "this" is in every modern phone...

In general, now any smartphone can not only access the Internet itself, but also share (distribute) it to neighboring PCs/laptops/other smartphones. In many large cities, the most common coverage is 3G/4G (4G provides speeds of up to 100 Mbit/s and higher (in practice, the speed “dances” in different areas of the city, and it’s good if it is 20-30 Mbit/s)).

To connect your computer to the Internet via a smartphone, all you need to do is connect it to a USB port, and activate modem mode on your smartphone (every modern device has one). You can also create a Wi-Fi network on your smartphone via modem mode and distribute the Internet using it (everyone who connects to it will also have access to the Internet). See screenshots below.

I note that modems (in the form of flash drives) are also popular now, which can be connected to any PC/laptop via a USB port. They provide fairly good communication quality.

Pros of mob. Internet:

  1. there is no need to buy anything additional (if we do not take into account special modems);
  2. Internet can be distributed very quickly to any device (including even on the road or outdoors);
  3. a fairly large coverage area (can be used in areas where there is nothing else);
  4. V lately Unlimited tariffs are appearing more and more.

Cons:

  1. communication costs several times more than the same leased line;
  2. often high ping, which is not suitable for most fans of online games (in general, the quality of communication depends on the area and distance from the tower);
  3. not such a high speed compared to other connection types.

Satellite connection

This is not a very popular type of connection (very expensive), and is used only in remote parts of the country, where there is simply no other alternative. The access speed greatly depends on the equipment that will be provided to you. One of the most important disadvantages of this type of connection, which is worth noting, is the presence of a very high ping: at least 250 ms (this is a lot)!

Pros:

  1. Possibility of installation almost anywhere in the country;
  2. independence from terrestrial communication channels.

Cons:

  1. very high ping (250 ms and above) - it is almost impossible to play online games or talk over IP telephony;
  2. high cost of equipment and services;
  3. the need to coordinate the installation of equipment (not always and not everywhere);
  4. bulky and complex equipment (you cannot install and configure it yourself).

PS

It is possible that all this (what I wrote in this article) will soon not make any sense... I am talking about the words of Elon Musk, who promised that in a few years, he will cover the Earth with satellites and provide almost all inhabitants of the planet with free and fast Internet access! Tempting!

However, I personally believe that his words were not without advertising and pathos: Maybe they will cover the Earth with satellites, but this will happen in 15-20 years (at least) ...

That's all I have. Good luck!

Every modern man uses the privileges of the World Wide Web. At the same time, few people think about the principles of operation and connection. However, this knowledge may depend on your ability to work or have fun online from your laptop. After all, it’s not always possible to call a setup specialist. We will help you figure out on your own how to connect the Internet to a laptop.

First you need to choose the most suitable way to connect your computer to the Internet. This can be done wirelessly or wired:

  • using a cable;
  • using a router;
  • using a Wi-Fi network.

The first method allows you to achieve the highest data transfer speed when connecting. But its main disadvantage is that a portable computer will cease to be such. You will have to find a point closest to the connection point, or buy an ultra-long wire. The second option also has its drawbacks, since the cable will interfere with free movement around the room.

As a rule, for wired Internet all settings are entered by the wizard. But when you reinstall the operating system, you may need to re-enter them. To do this you need to do the following:

  • connect the cable to the PC;
  • through the control panel, open the list of networks;
  • you need to set up a new connection - the second option;
  • Enter the username and password provided by your provider.

Setting up a wireless connection: router and Wi-Fi


The easiest way to connect to the global network is to use Wi-Fi. This is possible if there is already a configured router in the room. In just a few minutes you will have a high-quality wireless connection. What is needed for this?

  • Enable the wireless transmission module on your PC.
  • Find the "Network Connections" tab, which is in the Control Panel folder.
  • Turn on your wireless connection.
  • You may have to enter a password before connecting the wireless Internet to your laptop. You can connect to an open network without a password.

An equally important question is how to connect an Internet router to a laptop. Using our recommendations, anyone can cope with this task.

So, turn off your router. Connect the cable directly to the laptop through the appropriate connector. Then find “Network and Sharing Center” in the Windows menu.

Select connection properties by local network. You need the fourth version of the protocol. Did an inscription with numbers appear? Copy them, these are Static IP. Select the option to obtain IP automatically.

Next, in the built-in browser of the operating system, insert the sequence of numbers (in the format with dots and without spaces) 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 into the address bar. A menu will appear in which you need to enter “admin” in the login and password fields (look for the login password on the router itself, often on a sticker next to the mac address). Select a dynamic IP and click “Next”. Enter the access point name and Wi-Fi password.

If your laptop still does not connect to the router, we recommend that you consult a specialist.

In any case, connecting a laptop to the Internet can be done in a few minutes. If you have problems with your connection or Internet speed, contact Wifire specialists. Our company is guaranteed to provide you with a high quality connection.

Today there are almost no people left in the world who do not use the capabilities of the Internet. Therefore, the relevance of the question of how to independently connect the Internet to a personal computer is growing every day. A PC that is not connected to the World Wide Web turns into an ordinary typewriter with calculator functions, i.e., most of the advantages of owning such a computer are simply lost. Below is a guide on how to connect your computer to the internet, as well as step by step instructions, how to set up the Internet without resorting to the services of specialists.

Preparatory activities

To connect to the Internet, first of all, you should select the optimal Internet source for the user’s specific conditions: direct connection (connect the Internet to the computer via cable), Wi-Fi router, SIM card of a mobile operator, satellite communication, PBX. Then, if necessary, sign an agreement with the communication service provider, which is called the “Provider”.

It will provide its subscriber with the necessary means, for example, a modem or router, cable. If it is a cellular operator, then a special USB modem that is inserted into the USB port of the computer.

Direct wire connection

The method has a number of significant advantages, but it is not without major disadvantages, which can be decisive when the user chooses a connection method. It is very easy to implement and requires the least cost. However, the Internet provider must run the wire directly to the computer, which is not always possible or convenient. The cable must be connected to the PC's network card.

After this, you need to configure the Internet on your computer. The parameters entered vary depending on the communication service provider and the connection technology itself. The essence of the procedure is to create a connection with authorization. The following is an example of step-by-step actions on a PC with the Windows 8 operating system. In other operating systems supported by Microsoft, the procedure is similar.

The following sequential steps must be completed:


For Windows XP, a similar algorithm of actions can be briefly presented in the form of the following chain:

  1. Start;
  2. Network connections;
  3. Create a new connection;
  4. New connection wizard;
  5. Connect to the Internet;
  6. Establish a connection manually;
  7. High speed connection;
  8. Entering parameters from your Internet provider.

For Windows 7:

  1. Start;
  2. Control Panel;
  3. Network and Internet;
  4. Network and Sharing Center;
  5. Setting up a new connection or network;
  6. Internet connection;
  7. High speed;
  8. Enter parameters from your communication service provider.

Using a router connected by cable to the Internet

This is a more convenient option for a home or office, since it allows you to connect not just one PC to a global network, but several at the same time, thereby creating a local network. Today, it is rare for anyone to have only one computer in their apartment or office.

Insert the cable from your provider into the WAN port of the router. Connect computers through LAN connectors using patch cords. Enter the provider parameters through the web interface launched in the computer browser by entering the address written in the router's instruction manual (usually 192.168.1.1).

Via WiFi router

When using a wireless router, the steps will be similar to the previous instructions, but you will also need to configure WiFi. If your computer does not have a Wi-Fi adapter, you will need to purchase and install it.

Using Windows 8 as an example, to connect a computer via Wi-Fi, you need to do the following:

Despite globalization and the active development of technology, home Internet It is difficult to reach many villages and villages. The private sector, as a rule, is tens of kilometers away from city centers, which makes installation problematic and expensive. Future subscribers regularly ask which Internet connection is best for a private home. There is something to choose from: cable connection, via telephone or by wireless technology. We will look at each method in more detail.

General analysis of technologies for bringing the Internet to a private home

Before installing the Internet in a private country house, it is recommended to analyze the situation. Find a list of all providers and telecommunications companies that are ready to provide an Internet connection. At the first stage, cost is not so important, since it is necessary to consider all available options.

Next, divide these companies into several columns (depending on the type of connection). The first column includes all those who offer wired Internet, the second - mobile, and so on. This will allow you to navigate which type of connection is more common for a private home. After this, you need to move on to analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of each column, as well as the provider in particular. The technologies will be discussed in detail in the following subsections.

Cable connection

This connection is a typical solution for most users. Cable Internet can be of several technologies:

  1. Ethernet. The most common option. The cable connects directly to the computer or router. Maximum speed up to 100 megabits.
  2. DOCSIS. Connection using a TV cable. You need to purchase a special divider and modem. The technology offers up to 45 megabits per second.

It is worth choosing individually depending on the conditions and terrain. If you have cable television, check whether the company offers Internet through DOCSIS. The user will have to purchase an additional router and divider. A speed of 45 Mbit/s is enough for most tasks. An additional advantage is that the subscriber will be able to watch TV even if there is no Internet. DOCSIS uses encryption to ensure the security of user data.

The most expensive option is to lay a separate cable and create an Ethernet connection. If the equipment is located in close proximity to your home, then installers use twisted pair cable. This will reduce costs slightly. If the distance is sufficiently remote, fiber optics will naturally be laid. The material offers speeds of 100 Mbit/s, but is expensive. Another drawback is fragility. If an armored casing is not provided, adverse weather conditions may prevent you from accessing the Internet. The provider's employees will directly decide how to install the cable, so it is not always possible to control the process.

Via telephone line

The most affordable way is to connect the Internet to a private home using a telephone line cable. You do not have to pay for the purchase and installation of each meter of wire, since it is already installed. ADSL technology offers speeds of up to 20 megabits per second. This is enough for comfortable surfing the vastness of the global web and watching TV series in average quality. Expenses include connection fees, the purchase of a splitter (separates the phone and Internet signal) and an ADSL modem.

By purchasing a Wi-Fi router, you can create a wireless local network. As a rule, many providers offer to buy a device at a promotion, but with the condition of using the company’s services for a specific period (from 1 to 3 years). This is a good deal if there are no alternatives and the connection speed suits you. At the same time, there are situations when the poor quality of lines does not even allow the use of ADSL technology. Then it’s worth considering wireless methods of connecting to the network.

Mobile Internet

While running a cable into a house is problematic, cellular network coverage is present over most residential areas. Major operators such as MTS, Beeline, Megafon offer subscribers a variety of tariffs with mobile Internet. There are special packages designed for portable USB modems. Find out about their costs and capabilities at official pages operators.

Based on the technology, you can connect:

  • 2G. It is the slowest and cheapest. Despite this, it has one of the largest coverage areas. The data transfer speed reaches 474 kilobits per second.
  • 3G. Available in almost all cities and nearby villages. Real speeds reach 2-3 megabits. It is quite enough for viewing photos and low-quality videos.
  • 4G is an advanced technology with theoretical speeds of up to 1 Gbps. In reality, the speed reaches 40-80 megabits. The technology is present only in cities and some urban villages, and 4G modems are expensive.

Wireless Internet 3G in a private home is the optimal solution. Available and inexpensive. If you have 4G for your area, naturally, spare no expense, because the speed of this technology is at the level of wired Internet, and you can control the cost and volume of traffic through your tariff plan. An important advantage is autonomy. The router can operate from a laptop charge, and if necessary, you can always take the device with you on a trip.

Disadvantage mobile connection is dependent on the coverage network, which may be affected by weather conditions. The modem will also occupy a USB port on a computer or laptop, which is critical for some users.

Satellite Internet

Along with television, providers offer to connect satellite Internet to a private home. This is the most expensive option among the existing ones, but it has several important advantages:

  • absolute autonomy, since access to the satellite is available from almost anywhere on the planet;
  • signal immunity to weather conditions(wind, rain, snow);
  • relatively high speed up to 20 megabits.

This type of connection is used extremely rarely; in the private sector, as a rule, alternatives are always available. If you are going to connect a satellite connection, then be prepared to pay a hefty sum. For full operation, you will have to pay for the equipment (dish, transmitter, cables and connectors), as well as installation and debugging procedures. Installing all system components yourself can take a lot of time, and only specialists can handle the debugging process efficiently.

A one-way satellite connection also requires an EDGE/GPRS channel through which outgoing requests are received. They are sent to the server and processed. Only after this are response packets transmitted to the satellite, and through it to the subscriber. This method has significant delays of 600-800 milliseconds (for a wired connection this figure varies from 2 to 20 milliseconds).

With two-way satellite communications, all requests and responses come through the spacecraft, but this depends on technical characteristics the device itself in orbit. The subscription fee will be correspondingly more expensive. As with other types of connection, the use of Wi-Fi routers with subsequent distribution of the signal to mobile gadgets is allowed here.

WiMax technology

"WiMax" is something between GPRS mobile communications and home Wi-Fi. There is a network of base stations (as in mobile communications) that broadcast signals at frequencies from 2 to 11 gigahertz. The standard uses the GSM structure, so the towers have coverage of up to 10 kilometers. Subscriber stations are offered connection speeds of up to 120 megabits per second, which is comparable to 4G. WiMax is also used to connect separate Wi-Fi networks.

As a rule, the technology is used to connect offices or production facilities, but if you have the funds, you can order equipment from country house. The only limitation is its non-distribution. Due to the use of licensed frequencies, lack of a full-fledged coverage network and lack of preparedness legislative framework, almost no provider offers WiMax to subscribers.

What is better to choose

Only you decide which Internet connection is best for a private home. There is no universal solution. We recommend analyzing everything available methods connection, and then compare where the cost per 1 gigabyte of traffic will be lower. When choosing, also focus on connection speed and traffic volume. For example, high-quality 4G will work faster than an ADSL connection, but find unlimited tariff mobile operators at an affordable price is problematic.

Fast Internet is always expensive, so be clear about your needs. For working with online documentation and sending small files via email ADSL or 3G connection is sufficient. For entertainment (watching TV series, downloading movies and computer games) We recommend choosing Ethernet or 4G. With speeds starting at 50 Mbps, downloading movies will take anywhere from 10 minutes to a couple of hours, which is relatively fast.

Satellite Internet and WiMax are an extreme case. The former is too expensive to use, and the latter technology is in development. Service providers provide extortionate tariffs, not to mention the cost of subscriber equipment.

Provider selection criteria

Having understood the existing technologies for connecting the Internet to the home, it is worth taking a closer look at the provider. There may be several well-known companies in your city, as well as a number of local firms that offer more favorable conditions in certain situations. When contacting your provider, find out the following points:

  • Price. Consider the price of tariff plans, the need to purchase auxiliary equipment and payment for installation work.
  • Speed. Read reviews in groups or forums about the desired provider or ask friends who use the services. Actual speeds may be significantly lower than those stated in booklets.
  • Connection type. The modern standard is optical fiber. Not all providers offer ADSL technology, so such information needs to be clarified.
  • Payment points. If you connect, you will have to pay a regular subscription fee. Make sure that the company has at least one full-fledged office in the city. Large companies offer payment for services remotely through their own website or terminals.
  • Technical support. Call the consultants on the phone and make sure that they really work, and the waiting time on the line is acceptable.
  • Stock. Some companies regularly hold seasonal promotions where you can connect at a discount or get several months of using the services for free. Take advantage of this.
  • Additional services. This may include the presence of a cinema hall, your own file exchanger with films and TV series, or IPTV.

You can use special sites that compare tariffs from several companies, and display the main characteristics in a convenient tabular form: price, connection cost, speed, and so on. Be sure to read the contract carefully. If some points in the document raise questions, consult a specialist.

Connecting the Internet to the private sector is a serious task that requires an analysis of the situation and relevant service providers. Focus on your needs and budget. Internet providers fight for every client, so they are ready to offer extremely favorable conditions. The task remains for you to choose the best and evaluate the veracity of the promises.

  • So, you have finally concluded an agreement with a new provider, and a cable with a plug has been installed in your apartment - a real window to the world. All you have to do is connect it to your computer - and the Internet is at your service. However, if it was enough to insert the plug into the socket, you would not need to read this article.

    Let's look at how to connect the Internet to a computer via cable, in the simplest case. Let's say you have only one computer, and you will use it as a router (if you suddenly need it or a tablet). Or (alternatively) you are planning to do so later, so you turn off the router to make remote access easier.

    Let's say you have a network card on your computer (it doesn't matter whether it's separate or built into the motherboard), and you've just connected an Ethernet cable to its input. We assume that you are using the most current Windows 10. Although for the correct settings of Windows 8/8.1 or even 7, these instructions are also suitable: the principle is the same.

    Of course, you can always call a specialist to do everything the right job for you. But specialists are not always free. In addition, you will not only save money on calls on your own, but also learn how to set up the Internet on your computer via cable. In our world, such knowledge can come in handy at any time.

    Dynamics vs. Statics

    Now check with your provider what kind of connection they offer on your tariff plan: dynamic or static.

    With dynamic connection your IP address may change depending on your ISP settings (and if you intend to subsequently connect to your workplace remotely, this may interfere with you). But manipulations with entering parameters are reduced to a minimum: the provider sets the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway independently. In this case, just insert the cable into the computer and that’s it, you will have access to the Internet.

    Static connection provides a static IP address assigned to your computer (or router, if you choose to connect through one). In this case, you will have to manually enter the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway in the connection settings. Usually all these incomprehensible numbers and letters are included in the access agreement or in an appendix to it. If necessary, you can clarify them with the technical support service by providing your details.

    In some cases, access also requires a login and password (do not confuse Internet access as such with access to your personal account on the provider’s website - for personal account data is required).

    How is the connection made?

    Let's look at the procedure step by step.

    • Insert the plug of the Ethernet cable brought into the apartment into the corresponding port of the computer. Even if you have never done this before, you will not be able to confuse this type of connector and plug with something else.

    • Right-click on the “Start” button and find the “Control Panel - Network and Internet - Network and Sharing Center” section. In the left column, select the “change adapter settings” tab. A list of your adapters will appear in the main window (more precisely, in our case, one “Local Area Connection” adapter). Again, use the signature “right-click” technique and select “Properties”.

    • A small pop-up window contains a whole column of different strings with properties. Select the line “IP version 4 (TCP/IPv4)”. While it's selected, click the Properties button below the list box.

    Now our instructions branch out. Have you checked with your provider what IP is provided to you? If not, check now.

    • If dynamic, then trust the automatic selection in the IP address and DNS server settings.
    • If it is static, you will have to enter the values ​​manually. As a rule, you need to specify “IP address”, “Subnet mask”, “Default gateway” and “DNS server”. When you have completed entering your data, click OK to save your selection.

    Important points:

    • If the connection requires a modem, enter its default address as the IP address; this is usually 192.168.1.1. If the modem has a different IP (which is rare), it is indicated on the bottom of the modem itself or in its instructions.
    • Usually the ISP provides the DNS server details, but sometimes this is omitted. Then you can use the universal ones:

    1) Public DNS from Google: 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 - a universal solution, usually suitable for all computers

    2) OpenDNS – 208.67.220.220 and 208.67.222.222

    3) Yandex DNS with its own anti-virus filter - 77.88.88.88 or 77.88.8.2 - if you trust the Yandex anti-virus policy (although sometimes it may consider a completely decent site unreliable)

    4) Yandex DNS with a filter for pornography and other obscene content - 77.88.8.7 or 77.88.8.3 - although it depends on what you actually need from the Internet, hehe.

    • We repeat: if remote access is important to you, make sure that your provider’s support ensures that your IP will not change.

    If your ISP offers L2TP access, this may require some additional steps on your part. Usually the provider provides instructions for setting up this specific type of connection, but it wouldn’t hurt to duplicate it on our part either.

    So, to configure L2TP, you need:

    1. Go to the already known section “Network and Sharing Center” and select creating a new connection
    2. Unlike previous options, here you should go to “Connect to your workplace”
    3. When the system prompts you to create a new connection, select this item
    4. Select "Use my connection"
    5. Enter the server address provided by your provider. You should not select the immediate connection option. You can assign a name that you like.
    6. In the next window, enter the username and password provided to you. Don't forget to check the box next to "Remember password"
    7. Connect now when the system prompts you to do so
    8. Return to “Adapter Properties” (as discussed above) and select the “Security” section
    9. In the VPN Type drop-down options, select L2TP IPsec VPN. Below is the line “Data Encryption”, here you need to select “Optional”
    10. Under the "VPN Type" line, click the "Advanced Options" button
    11. Enter this same key in the “Key” field. You must have it from your provider.
    12. That’s it, you can click “OK” with peace of mind and use the connection.

    This instruction works for Windows 7 and newer versions.

    Why all this complexity? – you ask. This solution has advantages: for you - increased connection security (compared to a regular LAN), for the provider - simplification of the billing system.

    Setting up PPPoE

    Before setting up the Internet on your computer, check with your provider about the type of access it offers. Access via PPPoE requires not only correct settings, but also authorization using a login and password. You will need this connection method if you do not use a modem or router, but insert the cable from the provider directly into the connector on the computer, without intermediaries.

    To do this, you again go to the “Network Control Center” and select there and use it to create a new connection.

    In the wizard that launches, you select the first item - “Connect to the Internet” - and click “Next”. Then in the window that appears, you must select “High Speed ​​(with PPPoE)”.

    The final step remains. In the final window, you need to come up with a name for the connection and enter the login and password issued by the provider. If several people use your computer (for example, family members), each under their own account, and you want to give them all access, then check the box “Allow other accounts to use this connection.”

    Now make sure your Internet connection is working. And if so, then hello world!
