How to connect to Belrw WiFi: Complete instructions for all devices

Provider Belrw (former Beltelecom) offers one of the most common options for home Internet in Belarus - WiFi networks with login/password authenticationHowever, many users experience difficulties with the initial connection, especially when it comes to TVs, game consoles, or older smartphones. Unlike traditional open-access routers, this one requires additional PPPoE setup or manual entry of credentials — otherwise the Internet simply won’t work.

In this article we will look at all the ways to connect to Belrw WiFi on different devices: from automatic settings on modern gadgets to manual input of parameters on Smart TV And Windows 10/11We will also consider typical mistakes (for example, ERR_INTERNET_DISCONNECTED (or no IP address) and how to fix them without calling support. If you just connected to the Internet from Belrw or moved to a new apartment with a ready-made network—this guide will help you avoid hours of fiddling with settings.

1. What is Belrw WiFi and how does it work?

Net Belrw (previously ByFly) is built on technology PPPoE — is a protocol that requires user authorization via the login and password provided by the provider. Unlike most home routers, where Wi-Fi is distributed "as is," here the internet won't workuntil you enter your credentials in the device or router settings.

Key Features Belrw WiFi:

• 🔑 Authorization is required — without login/password, access to the network is blocked.
• 📡 Two connection options: directly to the provider's cable or via a router (with PPPoE settings).
• 🛡️ Dynamic IP — the address changes with each new connection.
• 📶 IPv6 support — but not on all tariffs (check in your personal account).

If you are connecting via router, then the router itself is authorized, and all other devices (phones, laptops) connect to its WiFi without any additional configuration. If you plug the provider's cable directly into your computer or Smart TV — you will have to enter your login and password on each such device separately.

⚠️ Attention: Tariffs and connection conditions Belrw may change. For example, from 2026, updated authorization rules will apply to new users through Unified Portal of Government ServicesPlease check the latest information in your personal account or by calling support.

2. Preparing for connection: what you need to know in advance

Before you begin setting up, please check:

Credentials (BeLRW login and password)|Provider cable (connected to the router or device)|Router manual (if you're setting it up through one)|BeLRW support phone number (in case of errors)

-->

Where to get login and password:

• 📄 In agreement for Internet connection (usually indicated in the "Account data" section).
• 📧 In in an email, which you indicated during registration.
• 🔄 In personal account on the website Belrw (section "My services").
• 📞 By phone support: 123 (for subscribers) or +375 17 219-99-99.

If you don't remember your password, you can reset it through your personal account or by contacting support. Don't use old ByFly data - after rebranding in Belrw they could have changed.

3. Connecting to Belrw WiFi via a router (recommended method)

The most reliable option is to set up PPPoE connection on the router, and then share WiFi with all devices without additional authorization. Compatible with most modern routers: TP-Link, ASUS, Keenetic, Zyxel and others.

Step-by-step instructions (using an example) TP-Link Archer C6):

1. Connect the provider's cable to the port WAN (usually highlighted in blue).
2. Turn on the router and connect to its WiFi (the network name and password are indicated on the sticker).
3. Open your browser and enter the address 192.168.0.1 or tplinkwifi.net.
4. Enter your login/password to access the control panel (default) admin/admin).
5. Go to the section Network → WAN (or Internet).
6. Select connection type PPPoE.
7. Enter your login and password from Belrw, save the settings.

After saving, the router will reboot, and within 1-2 minutes, the internet will be available on all connected devices. If the connection fails, check:

• 🔌 Is the cable connected correctly (to the port? WAN, and not LAN).
• 🔒 Is the password entered correctly (case sensitive!).
• 🔄 Update your router firmware (in the section System → Software Update).

4. Connecting to Belrw without a router (directly to the cable)

If you don't have a router or you're connecting a device that doesn't support WiFi (for example, Smart TV or PS4), you'll have to configure the PPPoE connection manually. Let's look at the process on different platforms.

4.1. Setting up on Windows 10/11

Instructions for a PC with a direct cable connection Belrw:

1. Connect the cable to the port Ethernet on the computer.
2. Open Settings → Network & Internet → Ethernet.
3. Click Configuring adapter settings (on the right).
4. Right click on Ethernet → Properties.
5. Select Internet Protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4) → Properties.
6. Check the boxes Obtain an IP address automatically And Obtain DNS server address automatically.
7. Create a new connection: go back to Network and Internet → VPN → Add a VPN connection → select PPPoE.
8. Enter login/password from Belrw and save.

4.2. Setup on Android or iOS

PPPoE can't be configured directly on smartphones—only through a router. However, if you have USB Ethernet adapter (for example, for iPhone With Lightning or Android With Type-C), you can connect like this:

1. Connect the adapter to your phone and insert the cable Belrw.
2. On Android: go to Settings → Network & Internet → Ethernet → select PPPoE and enter the data.
3. On iPhone: PPPoE installation is only possible through third-party applications (for example, PPP Widget).

4.3. Setup on Smart TV (LG, Samsung, Sony)

TVs with support PPPoE:

• 📺 LG: Settings → Network → Cable connection → Manual setup → PPPoE.
• 📺 Samsung: Menu → Network → Network Setup → Cable Connection → IP Settings (Manual) → PPPoE.
• 📺 Sony Bravia: Settings → Network → Network setup → Cable connection setup → Advanced setup → PPPoE.

If on yours TV no option PPPoE, you will have to use a router or Android TV box (For example, Xiaomi Mi Box).

What to do if TV does not support PPPoE?

If your TV doesn't support PPPoE (for example, older Philips or Toshiba models), there are two options.

1. Buy an inexpensive router (from 30 BYN) and set it up as described in section 3.

2. Use a USB-Ethernet adapter and connect to the TV via a media player (for example, Nvidia Shield).

5. Common mistakes and their solutions

Even with proper setup, problems can arise. Let's look at the most common ones:

If after all these steps the internet still doesn't work, check:

• 🔌 Cable: try connecting it directly to your computer (bypassing the router).
• 🔄 Updates: The router or device may have outdated firmware.
• 📡 Interference: If you are using WiFi, try switching to 5 GHz or changing the channel.

⚠️ Attention: If you see the message "Connection limit exceeded", this means that your tariff Belrw Limits the number of simultaneously connected devices. Solution: Disconnect unnecessary devices or upgrade your data plan.

6. How to speed up Belrw WiFi: network optimization

Even if your internet connection is working, its speed may be slower than expected. Here are some ways to improve performance:

• 📶 Change WiFi channel: in the router settings, select the least loaded channel (use the application WiFi Analyzer for analysis).
• 🔄 Update your router firmware: New versions often fix bugs and improve stability.
• 🔌 Use a cable instead of WiFi: For Smart TV or PC it will give maximum speed.
• 🛡️ Disable IPv6 (if not used): sometimes this eliminates delays.
• 📵 Limit background updates: On phones and PCs, turn off automatic app updates.

To check your actual speed, use the following services:

• 🌍 Speedtest.net (international).
• 🇧🇾 Speedtest Belrw (official from the provider).

7. Security: How to protect your Belrw network

By default, many routers use standard passwords (admin), making them vulnerable to hacking. To protect your network:

• 🔐 Change your WiFi password: Use a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols (eg. Belrw_2026!WiFi).
• 🛡️ Disable WPS: This feature makes connection easier, but it is easy to hack.
• 🔄 Enable MAC address filtering (if you need to restrict access).
• 🌐 Update DNS: use 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare) or 8.8.8.8 (Google) to protect against phishing.

Also recommended:

• 📵 Turn off WiFi at night (if you don't use it) - this will save electricity and reduce the risk of attack.
• 🔍 Check connected devices in the router panel (section DHCP Clients or Connected Devices).
