This review will step by step review and describe the setup of the Sagemcom F ST 2804 V7. This is an entry-level router, which is often sold in addition to the services provided by domestic providers. These include the national MTS and Rostelecom. It is on the example of configuring the connection of such a router to the network equipment of the latest company that this material will be presented.

Network gateway components

Standard and typical supply list for this router. Separately, it should be noted that such a network gateway is tied to the equipment of a specific provider. That is, if the router is designed to work in combination with software and hardware from Rostelecom, then it will only work in this combination.

The delivery list includes a router model Sagemcom F ST 2804 V7. Setting up a Rostelecom connection is described in detail in the operating manual. The manufacturer did not forget to include a warranty card in the package, which is valid for 1 year. This is a complete list of components for this solution. This list is supplemented by a power supply with a 0.5 A output and an interface cord, which is mainly used when setting up a network connection.

Also included in the delivery list is a CD with specialized software. By default, the hero of this article has software version V5, which cannot work normally with Rostelecom equipment. Therefore, it is necessary to reflash the router discussed in this material to version V7.

Main settings

The main parameters of this router are as follows:

  • Three possible methods of connecting to the Internet: Ethernet, ADSL and 2G/3G (in the latter case, you must additionally purchase an external modem and a starter package to be able to connect to a cellular network).
  • Four RJ-45 ports, which can be used both for connecting computing devices via twisted pair to the global web, and for switching television set-top boxes.
  • One USB standard port, which is used to connect a modem.
  • A wireless network based on a Wi-Fi transmitter, within which information can be transmitted at speeds of up to 300 Mbit/sec.

The body of this device is plastic. May be white or black. On one side of it there are information LEDs. The first of them signals the presence of power, the second - an active ADSL connection, the third indicates the availability of information from the Internet. The following information indicator indicates the operation of the wireless network. Next are four LEDs that characterize the functioning of the wired segment of the internal computer network. The last light element in this case shows the operation of the USB port built into the router.

On the top side of the device there is a USB connector and two buttons. One of them includes the network gateway of this model, and the second uses the technology of automatically connecting the device using Wi-Fi.

All connection ports are located on the opposite side of the information panel. These include an ADSL connector, a USB port and 4 RJ-45 ports. There is also a power socket here. There is also a button to reset the software to its original state.

The original product, which claims to be universal, is distributed to its customers by the largest Russian provider Rostelecom. Let us recall that this operator offers the largest number of ways to connect to the Internet simply because it is the owner of the Russian telephone infrastructure. You can connect not only through a fiber optic cord extended into the apartment, but also through a regular telephone socket.

For some remote areas of our country, this method of connection is still relevant. It is also optimal for those who do not fully utilize the capabilities of high-speed Internet, that is, those who are ready to be satisfied with low data transmission and reception speeds. In short, the subject of our conversation is the sagemcom router, or to be more precise, the sagemcom router model f@st 2804 v7. If desired, each client of the operator in question can acquire such a “machine”. Therefore, information about the capabilities of the device and the principles of its configuration will be useful to him.

In addition to Telecom, the same devices are used by MTS. Sagemcom fast 2804 has been included in the range of both providers for more than a year now. The collected statistics show that more than 60% of broadband subscribers are quite satisfied with the performance of the device and are not going to change it for something else. So, let's begin our story about the functionality and setup of the device.

Router options visible to the eye

First, we will describe the appearance of the fast 2804 v7 router and look at the buttons that are on its case. The box looks like this:

If a regular router has a 4LAN x 2USB configuration, then instead of two USB ports, this device has only one. But in addition to four LAN ports, there is also an ADSL connector - which is not surprising, given the specifics of the operator. This is not to say that the design of the box seems anything outstanding. However, this factor does not affect the quality of work in any way. All connectors are located so that they are convenient to use, and LED indicators are mounted in the top cover, marked so that the blinking of the lights can be interpreted unambiguously and without difficulty. The router is small in size, so the name “mini” was assigned to it.

In general, the design is quite interesting - we recommend everyone to hold it in their hands. The small buttons on the body prevent the user from accidentally pressing them, which is quite convenient on one hand, but inconvenient on the other, since someday you will really need them.

A tour of the router's web interface

In order to go to the settings, sit down in front of the computer, launch a browser on it and enter the following IP in the address bar: 192.168.1.1 - this is a typical address of any router. Next, enter the username and password to access the device. They are the same as for any other router and have the same value - admin. Next we do this:

If ADSL is configured, then go to the following page: http://nastroisam.ru/sagem-fast-2804-adsl/.

If FTTB is configured, then go here: http://nastroisam.ru/sagem-2804-router/.

The configuration of the print server based on sagemcom fast can be seen here.
