Internet provider Volya provides access to global network on Ethernet and DOCSIS technologies. Available method connection depends on the area in which the subscriber’s home is located. When connecting via twisted pair, you can use a regular router or connect the cable directly to the computer. To work via DOCSIS you will need a special cable modem provided for rent by your provider.

Connection via cable modem

The DOCSIS standard involves the use of coaxial cable to connect subscribers to the network. The same cable is used to transmit a television signal. This technology does not have widespread on the territory of the CIS countries. Its use by Volya is due to the fact that the provider already had a wide television network at the time of introducing Internet access services.

Connecting to the Volya Internet in most cases is done through an Arris Touchstone CM820A/S cable modem. The initial setup of the equipment is carried out by a technician, but if you need to connect yourself, you can use the instructions on the provider’s website. To establish a connection, you must complete the following steps:

  1. Connect the coaxial cable to the appropriate connector on the modem.
  2. Insert standard network cable into the Ethernet connector.
  3. Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into your computer or router.
  4. Specify the network settings on the end device.

How to connect Internet Volya via Ethernet

The procedure for connecting to the network via an Ethernet cable is the same as for most other Internet providers. The company lays twisted pair cables into the subscriber's premises (house, apartment or office). The end of the cable is crimped and an 8P8C connector is installed on it, which is suitable for connecting to any device with a network connector. The most commonly used devices are:

  • Computer;
  • Laptop;
  • Smart TV;
  • Network Attached Storage (NAS).

The main disadvantages of this scheme are the lack local network and the simultaneous ability to access the Internet from several computers. These difficulties are eliminated if you use a router. In this case, the cable from the Volya company is inserted into the “Internet” port on the router. Other home devices are connected via Wi-Fi (if the router is equipped with a radio module) or through LAN ports. As a rule, routers have four such inputs, their standard location is on the rear panel.

Important tip! Connecting and disconnecting cables should be done with the router turned off. Apply power only when all wired equipment is already connected.

Setting the MAC Address

Volya's network is organized in relation to the MAC address of subscribers' end equipment. Therefore, when replacing it, you will need to enter a new address into the provider’s settings or change it yourself on the network device. If you use an Ethernet cable for the connection, you can change the MAC without leaving your home. All you need to do is log in personal account, open the item “My settings -> Equipment” and enter a new value.

You can also change the MAC on the router or computer itself to match the one that was originally used. For example, in devices from the manufacturer TP-Link, this action is performed using the “MAC Address Clone” link in the “Network” menu. Enter the address in the “WAN MAC address” field and click the “Save” button.
