The settings of Internet cafe routers need to take into account network speed, stability and security. Here are the detailed setup steps:

1. Connect to the router

First, connect the WAN port of the router to the optical modem or broadband modem, and connect the LAN port to the switch or computer in the Internet cafe. Make sure all cable connections are secure.

2. Log in to the router management interface

Open the browser, enter the default IP address of the router (usually 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1), enter the default username and password (usually admin/admin or refer to the router manual).

3. Set up broadband account and password

Find "WAN Settings" or "Internet Settings" in the management interface, select the PPPoE dial-up method, enter the account number and password provided by the broadband provider, and save the settings.
