If you decide to change your Internet provider, or you move to another apartment, then you most likely won't have to buy a new router. After changing the provider, many have a question, but how to set up a router that used to work with another provider. Nothing complicated, everything is according to the standard scheme. True, there are several nuances, which I will now tell you about.
1First, I strongly advise you to reset router settingsto remove the settings from the old provider. Find the button on the router RESET (discharge), it is most likely recessed into the body. Sometimes, the button is signed with WPS / RESET. Click on it and hold for 15 seconds. The power of the router must be turned on. Most likely, all indicators will light up, and the router will reboot.

2Next, we need to find out all the necessary data to configure the router. Check with your ISP which type of connection they are using and if they are binding by MAC address. This information can also be found in the contract, which must be given to you when you connect to the Internet. Here is another article on this topic: what type of connection to specify when configuring the router.
We take our router, connect the Internet connector from the new provider to it in the WAN, go to the router settings, and configure it. The setup process depends on your model. You will need to configure the Internet itself (usually, on the WAN tab, Internet), and configure a Wi-Fi network: change the network name and set a password for Wi-Fi. You can find instructions on how to configure your router in our "Configuring your router" section.
That's all. I think you managed to set up your router after changing the provider.
