Internet environment setting method, router and mobile device

The invention relates to a method and a router for setting an internet environment.

A broadband router (also known as an IP sharer, hereinafter referred to as a router) is a basic device used to transfer network information between computers. The router works in the third layer (network layer) of the OSI mode. A device that determines the path of data transfer. The data on the network is divided into segments of packets, and the location of these packets is determined by the router. Among them, the router will indicate the correct direction according to the destination of the data, and calculate and evaluate the most convenient and efficient path to transmit data.

Generally speaking, although you can use multiple routers to access the Internet at the same time without a router, you don't need to set up a broadband connection for each computer when you use a router. As long as the computer is turned on, you can connect to the Internet, saving a lot of troublesome settings. . After using the router, all connected computers can share the same external Internet connection IP, and the local network will specify a set of private IP, allowing multiple computers to connect to the external Internet at the same time, and the private computer is different. IP will not be repeated, and the trouble of manually setting IP can be saved.
