Exploring the Benefits of Using Teltonika Routers
Why Choose Teltonika for Your Networking Needs?
Ideal for IT admins and users working with RUT series routers, Teltonika’s Remote Management System.
Today we’re walking through the router user interface — showing you how to access, navigate, and configure devices like the RUT series.
The routers come equipped with a variety of advanced features that can cater to both home users and enterprise-level deployments. For instance, utilizing the advanced failover options can ensure that your network remains operational even in the event of a primary connection failure.
Whether you’re setting up a router for the first time or managing an existing fleet, understanding the WebUI is essential. This interface gives you full control over the router’s features, from WAN setup to firewall rules, VPN tunnels, and advanced failover.
Moreover, understanding how to manage and monitor your device effectively can lead to improved performance. For instance, regularly checking the device logs can help identify unusual activity, which could indicate a security issue.
The Web User Interface is accessed by connecting your device via Ethernet and navigating to its default IP address (typically 192.168.1.1).
Once logged in, you’ll find a dashboard view with real-time system info, signal strength, and active interfaces.
In addition to real-time system info, this dashboard allows you to easily access various settings that can be adjusted based on your specific needs. The visual layout is designed to be user-friendly, making it accessible even for those who may not be tech-savvy.
From there, you can:
Set up WAN and LAN interfaces
Setting up WAN and LAN interfaces requires careful attention to detail. For example, you may want to assign static IP addresses to critical devices on your network to ensure they maintain constant connectivity.
View and manage mobile data settings
Managing mobile data settings is crucial for users relying on cellular connections. You can set data limits and alerts to avoid unexpected charges.
Configure SIM slot priorities and APNs
Adjust Wi-Fi network settings
Adjusting Wi-Fi network settings includes setting up SSID names and passwords that are easily memorable yet secure enough to protect your network from unauthorized access.
Create and manage VPN tunnels
When creating VPN tunnels, consider the type of encryption needed for your specific applications. Different encryption protocols provide varying levels of security and performance.
Apply firewall rules and security policies
Applying firewall rules may involve setting up whitelists and blacklists to control the traffic entering and exiting your network, ensuring only desirable connections are allowed.
