1. Disable 5 GHz in your router settings or name the networks differently.

2. Connect your TV to 2.4 GHz.

3. If the problem persists, update the TV firmware via USB or a service center.

6. Optimize Wi-Fi speed and coverage

To get the most out of your Megafon tariff, follow these tips:

• 📶 Router placement: Place it on a raised surface (such as a cabinet) in the center of your apartment. Avoid placing it near metal objects and appliances (microwaves, refrigerators).
• 🔄 Channel selection: Use apps like Wi-Fi Analyzer (Android) or NetSpot (iOS/macOS) to find the least congested channel.
• 🛡️ Firmware update: Check for router updates regularly via the web interface (Administration → Software Update).
• 🔗 Mesh systems: For larger apartments or houses, consider purchasing Mesh routers (for example, TP-Link Deco or Keenetic), compatible with Megafon equipment.

To check your actual speed, use the following services:

• 🌐 Speedtest by Ookla
• 🌐 FAST.com (from Netflix)

If the speed is lower than stated in the tariff:

1. Connect your laptop to the router via cable and repeat the test. If the speed increases, the problem is with Wi-Fi.
2. Check if your neighbors are using the same channel (change it in your router settings).
3. Disable background downloads on other devices (torrents, updates).

7. Setting up parental controls and a guest network

Megafon routers support additional security features:

Parental control:

1. Go to Additional settings → Parental controls.
2. Add devices for which you want to restrict access (by MAC address).
3. Set a schedule (for example, block the Internet from 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM).
4. Block unwanted websites by keywords or categories.

Guest network:

1. Enable the option Guest network in the Wi-Fi section.
2. Set up a separate network name (eg. Megafon_Guest).
3. Limit the speed or access time for guests.

A guest network is useful if you often have guests over—they can use the Internet without accessing your main network or connected devices (printers, NAS).

⚠️ Important: The guest network password must be different from the main network password! Do not use simple combinations like 12345678.

8. Alternative connection methods

If the default Wi-Fi setup isn't suitable, consider these alternatives:

Connection via WPS:

Function WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) allows you to connect devices without entering a password. To do this:

1. Click the button WPS on the router (usually indicated by the 🔄 icon).
2. On the device (e.g. printer), activate WPS mode within 2 minutes.

⚠️ This method is less secure than manually entering the password, so disable WPS after use.

Using the Megafon mobile app:

Application My Megafon (available for Android And iOS) allows:

• 📊 View traffic statistics.
• 🔄 Reboot your router remotely.
• 🛠️ Change your Wi-Fi password.

Connection via USB modem:

If you have mobile Internet from Megafon, you can share Wi-Fi via a USB modem:

2. In the router settings, select the mode USB modem.
3. Set up Wi-Fi as described above.

How to share Wi-Fi from a Megafon phone?

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions about Megafon Wi-Fi

🔹 How do I find out my Wi-Fi password if I forgot it?

If you haven't changed the password since setting up your router, it's located on the sticker on the back of the device (field Wi-Fi Password or Network key).

If the password has been changed:

1. Connect to the router via cable.
2. Go to the web interface (192.168.0.1).
3. Go to Wi-Fi → Security Settings.

If you don't have access to the router, reset it using the button Reset (all settings will be deleted!).

🔹 Why does Megafon limit Wi-Fi speed?

The speed limit may be related to:

• 📉 Tariff plan — Check your traffic limit in your personal account.
• 🔌 Problems on the line - contact Megafon support (*505#).
• 📡 Wi-Fi channel overload - change the channel to a less busy one.
• 🛠️ Outdated router firmware — update the device software.

To diagnose the problem, connect your computer to the router with a cable and check the speed. If it's higher than Wi-Fi, the problem is with your wireless network.

🔹 Is it possible to connect two routers to one Megafon plan?

Technically yes, but there are some nuances:

• 🔀 If you have wired Internet, the second router can be connected in mode bridge or through LAN port (to expand the network).
• 📶 If you have mobile Internet (4G/5G), you won't be able to connect a second router to the same plan—you'll need an additional SIM card.

To organize a Mesh network, use compatible routers (for example, Keenetic or ASUS AiMesh).

🔹 How do I transfer Wi-Fi settings to a new router?

To avoid setting everything up again:

1. Save the configuration of the old router (section System Tools → Backup).
2. Connect the new router and load the saved settings file (if the models are compatible).
3. If the models are different, transfer them manually:
   • Wi-Fi name and password.
   • Settings PPPoE (login/password from Megafon).
   • Parental control rules (if used).

Please note that some parameters (eg. MAC address) are tied to a specific device and are not transferred.

🔹 What should I do if Megafon has blocked access to some websites?

Megafon may block websites at the request of Roskomnadzor or in accordance with internal regulations (for example, torrents). Solutions:

• 🔄 Use VPN (For example, ProtonVPN or Warp from Cloudflare).
• 📡 Change DNS to alternative ones:
  • 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare)
  • 8.8.8.8 (Google)
• 📧 Contact Megafon support (*505#) and specify the reason for the blocking.

⚠️ Using a VPN may reduce your connection speed.
