| === 1. What is ZeroTier? Why do we use ZeroTier? === | | == Login to GUI of device == |
| ZeroTier is a tool that lets you create your own private network over the internet. ZeroTier is a networking solution that enables the creation of virtual private networks (VPNs). It allows devices to connect over the internet as if they were on the same local area network (LAN).
| | Connect router to Laptop or Desktop using a LAN connection or connect over Wi-Fi. |
|
| |
|
| ZeroTier establishes secure, direct peer-to-peer connections using end-to-end encryption, facilitating seamless communication between devices across different physical locations.
| | Make sure the laptop/desktop LAN/Wi-Fi interface is in DHCP mode. |
|
| |
|
| === 2. Install ZeroTier: ===
| | How to make LAN/Wi-Fi network interface in DHCP mode into Windows Operating system? |
|
| |
|
| ==== Download ZeroTier: ====
| | To configure a LAN or Wi-Fi network interface in DHCP mode on a Windows operating system, follow these steps: |
| Visit the ZeroTier website and download the appropriate version for your operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android).
| |
|
| |
|

| | Note: Make sure the router’s DHCP server is not disabled if it is disabled then windows system should be configured with static IP “use the following IP address” option in above image. |
|
| |
|
| === 5. Configure the Network: ===
| | Use default IP of router to access GUI. |
|
| |
|
| * Name: [[File:Network ID.png|frameless|625x625px]]

| * Private/Public IP: Decide if your network is private (requires approval to join) or public (anyone with the network ID can join). [[File:Access Control.png|frameless|620x620px]]
| |
|
| |
|
| * IPv4/IPv6 Addressing: Set IP address ranges for your network devices. [[File:Set IP address ranges for your network devices.png|frameless|619x619px]]
| |
|
| |
|
| * Access Control: Manage members and set permissions. [[File:ZeroTier Access Control.png|frameless|624x624px]]

| | |
| * Step 4:
| |
| | |
| If your network is private, you need to authorize new devices in ZeroTier Central, go to the "Members" section of your network in ZeroTier Central, Find the device you want to authorize and click the checkbox next to it.
| |
| | |
| [[File:ZeroTier Central.png|frameless|667x667px]]

| |
| | |
| [[File:Authorize new devices in ZeroTier Central.png|frameless|618x618px]]
| |
| | |
| * Step 4:
| |
| | |
| To test connectivity, use ping or other network tools to test connectivity between devices in your ZeroTier network. For example, you can ping the ZeroTier IP address of one device from another device.
| |
| | |

| === 8. Conclusion: ===
| |
| By following these steps, your router should be configured to use ZeroTier, allowing all devices connected to the router to communicate over the ZeroTier network. A ZeroTier network has been created between source and destination, now you can add multiple nodes in the same network and access one device from another device.

Login to GUI of device
Connect router to Laptop or Desktop using a LAN connection or connect over Wi-Fi.
Make sure the laptop/desktop LAN/Wi-Fi interface is in DHCP mode.
How to make LAN/Wi-Fi network interface in DHCP mode into Windows Operating system?
To configure a LAN or Wi-Fi network interface in DHCP mode on a Windows operating system, follow these steps:
Press Windows + R, type ncpa.cpl, and press Enter to open the Network Connections window.
And locate the correct LAN/Wi-Fi interface which need to be configured as DHCP client or go to below path in the system.
Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center
In the above image select the interface Ethernet or Wi-Fi and change the IP Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and set in DHCP as shown in below image.
Note: Make sure the router’s DHCP server is not disabled if it is disabled then windows system should be configured with static IP “use the following IP address” option in above image.
Use default IP of router to access GUI.
For LAN it is 192.168.10.1 and for Wi-Fi it is 192.168.100.1 can be used to acces router in using any browser.
Note: For filed routers if the IP address is changed then the new IP belongs to interface should be used.
Default credentials to login are username/password : admin/admin but if the credentials are changed then use the correct credentials.
