Remote access to the scanner. How to make a network scanner? It happens like this =)

As a rule, most problems arise when connecting to the router via a wireless network. Connecting via a network cable should not cause any difficulties. But, I have already encountered similar questions several times, and I decided to write a short instruction with a photo, in which I will tell you how to connect a computer (or laptop) to a router using a LAN cable.

And what exactly is there to write about here? We took the cable, connected it to the router, then to the computer, and everything was ready. But still, maybe it will be useful to someone.

As a rule, modern routers have 4 LAN connectors. This means that you can connect 4 devices using a network cable. And they will all receive Internet from the router, or work in local network. By the way, read the article on setting up a local network.

We will need:

Router with a free LAN connector (yellow).
Network cable. A small cable is included with the router. But, if you need a longer cable, you can make it yourself. I wrote how to do this in the article. Or just go to a computer store and ask to crimp the network cable to the length you need.
Computer with network card (usually it is integrated into motherboard) . Well, or a laptop, netbook with an RJ-45 network connector.

Let's get started :)

Take our network cable, it looks like this (yours may be slightly different, I will enter a different length):

We connect one end of the cable to the yellow connector (LAN) of our router.

It doesn't matter which of the four connectors you connect the cable to.

Now we connect the other end of the cable to our computer or laptop.

This is what the network connector looks like on a computer:

After connection network cable, one of the four indicators on the router should light up, indicating a connection to the LAN connector.

Now look at the computer screen. If in the notification panel (bottom, right) you see this connection status (as in the screenshot below), then everything is fine. The Internet is already working.

But, in this way, it would seem in a simple way, problems may also arise. Now we will look at some of the most popular ones.

Problems connecting your computer to the router via a network cable

After connecting, the status on the notification panel may not change; you will see the computer crossed out with a red cross.

In this case, first of all you need to check the cable with which you connected the computer to the router. How to do this? You can, for example, take another cable, or a cable that carries the Internet directly to your computer. If this connection status changes (even if a yellow triangle appears), then the problem is in the cable. Perhaps something has come loose there. Just change it.

It is possible that the network card is simply disabled. Let's check it out. Go to and find there Local network connection. If there is a status next to it Disabled, then right-click on this connection and select Turn on.

If such a connection as There is no local network connection at all, then most likely the driver is simply not installed on your network card. Download and install the driver. If there was a disc included with your computer (laptop), then most likely it has this driver.

Connected the cable, but the connection does not have access to the Internet

And this can happen. The problem looks like this:

First, you need to determine what the problem is. This may occur due to problems on the router side. See the article on this issue.

But I'll tell you in a simple way. If other devices work normally from this router, and there is Internet on them, then most likely the problem is on the computer itself. This is understandable :).

And as a rule, there is only one problem.

Go to again Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections and right-click on Local Area Connection. Select properties. Then highlight "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" and press the button again Properties.

Set to receive IP and DNS automatically and click OK.

The article describes how to configure cable internet on the computer.

Many users use Wi-Fi at home to connect to the Internet, which is very convenient, especially if you have several devices (computer, tablet, smartphone). But it also happens that you need to connect your computer to the Internet directly via a cable, without using a router. In this case, a direct connection is established between your provider and the PC’s network card (Internet speed increases).

In addition, you may just need to connect wired Internet to the new computer that you want to install at home. We will talk about all this in this review. All computers that run " Windows» ( 7, 8, 8.1, 10 ) will be configured in the same way, the instructions below are suitable for all these cases.

First, let's note some points. The Internet connection that providers provide to their users is usually divided into static and dynamic. A static connection is when you are given your own permanent, unchanging IP address. A dynamic connection automatically selects an IP, which can change every time.

Many modern companies provide just such options when connecting to the Internet, but there are also providers that use a PPPoE connection, which requires entering a password and login. The provider offers to establish such connections by sending its specialists to clients. But this often happens long history, so we will learn how to connect cable Internet to a computer ourselves.

Connecting the Internet to a computer via cable using static and dynamic IP

In order to connect an Internet cable to a computer, as you know, it needs to be plugged into the Ethernet port on the rear panel. This creates a direct connection from the Internet provider to the computer’s network card. Next, you will need to configure the connection in the operating system.

To set up the Internet on your computer in this way, you need to take the following steps:

Through the menu " Start» go to « Control Panel»
