Modem d link 300. Network connection properties. Setting up basic router functions

I hope you have chosen good router and bought it! Now let's get down to it important step– this is its direct setting. When creating home wireless Internet, we need one time configure the router. And as we already know, these devices are produced different companies(D-LINK, ASUS, TP-LINK, etc.) Naturally, the setup process may differ slightly.

In this tutorial I will show you how to set up a router D-Link DIR-300, because that’s the model I have. If you have a different router (or different firmware), then you will need to either look for similar buttons, or instructions made exactly for your router.

So, let's see how to configure the D-Link DIR-300!

1. Connection

First we need to connect the router. Plug your router's power supply into the socket, and the Internet provider cable into the first connector. You should also have in your kit blue cable, whose connectors are the same on both sides. So, insert one end into the router and the other into the computer.

Let's look at the picture! You should get something like this:

The cables inserted into the router look like this:

Now go to Start – Control Panel – Network and Internet – Network and Sharing Center and shared access– Change adapter settings and make sure that you have a local network connected. If not, then turn it on.

2. Go to the Web Interface

Before making settings D-Link router DIR-300 needs to enter them. There is no need to install programs separately. Just use the Web Interface and go to the router address.

pay attention to back router. There should be an address made up of numbers, then a login and password.

In my case it's 192.168.0.1 , and the login and password are admin. Most routers also have these settings.

All modern home/office routers, including D-Link, are configured according to approximately the same principle. The algorithm for entering their settings is quite simple: install physical connection with the device, go to its internal network address, enter your login and password - this is where the procedure ends. However, at each stage the user may encounter a problem. Let's look at the process of entering the settings of D-Link routers in more detail.

Establishing a connection with the router

Which method of establishing communication with the router should be used depends on technical features equipment. If this wireless router, you can establish a connection with it from any device that supports Wi-Fi - a smartphone, laptop, tablet or even Smart-TV. If the router does not support wireless technology connection, to connect to it you will need network cable and a computer with network card on board.

Wired router

Everything is quite simple here. To establish a connection with the router, one end of the network cable is connected to the computer, the other to the LAN port of the device. Depending on the router model, there may be one or several LAN ports. If there are several of them, the cable can be connected to any one.

Also, any router has a WAN port, which is used by the device to access the Internet. external network. When a cable is connected to this port, communication will not be established (unless the corresponding option is enabled in the router settings).

Wireless router

When you turn on your Wi-Fi router, it will automatically create a wireless network that can be found on your phone, tablet, etc. In the case of D-Link routers, the name of the Wi-Fi network by default matches the name of the equipment model. For example, the "D-Link DIR-615" wireless network will be called "DIR-615".

All you have to do is find a new wireless network on your phone and connect to it. It can be either open or password protected. If security is enabled, the default password can be found on the sticker with reverse side device body. It follows immediately after the words "WPS PIN". For example "WPS PIN: 10265490", i.e. V in this case passphrase — "10265490".

Wireless routers are also equipped with LAN ports. If you do not have any device at hand that supports access to a Wi-Fi network, then communication with the router can be established by analogy with wired equipment.

Switching to the internal network address of the router

The procedure for logging into an internal network address is as follows:

• Open any browser on your computer, phone, tablet, etc.
• IN address bar enter the default network address of the router - “192.168.0.1” (without “www”, “http://”, etc.).
• Click on the transition button.

If everything went well, a small window should appear on the screen where you should enter your username and password.

Entering the login and password of the D-Link router

Any modern router is configured via the Web interface (these are its “settings”), which mandatory protected by login and password. In the case of D-Link routers, the default login and password are “admin” (the same). If this combination results in an error, you can try leaving the Password field blank, entering only the username (on some models D-Link password absent by default). You can also view the “login/password” combination on a sticker on the back of the device in the “Username” and “Password” fields.

If the router was previously configured by a field specialist from the Internet provider, then most likely the password was changed. Typically used as a password connection serial number router, which can be found on the box or on the device body in the “S/N” or “Serial Number” column.

Problems and errors when entering settings

At any stage of the settings login process, the user may encounter various problems. Let's look at the most common ones.

Problems connecting to a D-Link Wi-Fi router

In case of wireless routers These problems include:

• Absence Wi-Fi networks on air when you turn on the router;
• When trying to connect to a Wi-Fi network, various errors occur;
• Doesn't fit standard password from wireless network etc.

To fix the problem with the lack of a Wi-Fi network, you can try resetting the equipment settings to factory settings (keep in mind that the router will stop connecting to the Internet and will have to be configured again). To do this, just find the “Reset” button on the device body, press and hold it for several seconds. The problem may also be related to the device itself, which is used to connect to the router (if possible, you should use another means of communication).

All sorts of errors when connecting to a Wi-Fi network are mostly caused by incorrect settings the router or communication device itself. Resetting or using another means of communication to connect to the router may also help here. We must not forget the possibility of establishing a connection with a Wi-Fi router via a network cable.

In situations with wrong password The only way to get rid of the wireless network is to reset the router settings.

Problems connecting to a wired D-Link router

Users usually face two problems:

• When connecting the cable to network card the computer does not display a corresponding message (a red cross remains on the connection icon via local network).
• The LAN connection icon displays the message “Obtaining a network address” for a long time.

The cause of the first problem may be due to a physical fault in the network cable. In this case, all that remains is to use another one. If the cable is not damaged, the cause of the problem may be a hardware problem with the computer's network card. If it fails, only repair or purchase and installation of a new board will help.

Some D-Link router models also support data transfer via a USB port. If there is a corresponding port on the router case, you can use it. Please note here that to communicate via USB connection you will need to install additional driver(must be supplied with the equipment).

Problems where your computer is unable to obtain an IP address are usually caused by incorrect IP addresses. software settings or failures. This can happen either due to the fault of the computer or the fault of the router. To fix this problem, you can try changing the local network connection settings manually:

• Reset the router settings.
• Open the properties of the current local network connection on your computer (right-click on the connection and select “Properties” in the context menu).
• In the list of components used by this connection, find the item “IP version 4” and double-click on it.
• In the window that opens, check the box for “Use the following IP address.”
• Enter: "IP address: 192.168.0.10", "Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0", "Default gateway: 192.168.0.1", "Preferred DNS server: 192.168.0.1".
• Click "OK".

If on the local connection icon the network will disappear message about receiving an IP address, all you have to do is open your browser and go to the address “192.168.0.1”.

Errors when navigating to address "192.168.0.1"

If the browser gives an error about the impossibility of opening the address "192.168.0.1", but communication with the router is in this moment installed, this could mean one of three things:

1. The browser accesses the network through a proxy server;
2. A program is installed on the computer that allows it to work online via a VPN server;
3. Actions malware.

Fixing the first two problems is quite simple; you just need to temporarily disable the proxy server and/or stop the VPN service. Regarding malware: if the computer does not have an antivirus or its database is very outdated, it should be installed/updated using other means of accessing the Internet (for example, through a smartphone connected to the computer in modem mode). Antivirus can also be installed from a flash card or disk.

Error when entering login/password from the router Web interface

If none of the above options in “Step 3” work, you can enter the router settings only after resetting its settings.

Connecting a router Remove the router from the box and install it in a place convenient for you. Connect the power adapter from the kit into the corresponding connector on the back panel of the router and into a 220V outlet. Connect the main network cable (the one that was brought into your apartment when you connected to the K-Telecom network) into the INTERNET port, and connect the included network cable with one end into one of the numbered LAN ports on the back panel of the router, and the other into the network card computer. Installation disk, which comes with the router, you will not need. Important: Do not connect the main network cable to the numbered LAN ports. This will disrupt the communication service throughout the entire house.

Setting up the router Open a separate tab in your browser, enter the address 192.168.0.1 in the address bar and click Enter key on keyboard. Having gone to this address, we see the “Authorization” window for entering the authorization password when logging into the router’s web interface.

In order to change the language of the router settings, you need to click on the “Language” button and select the “Russian” item.


In the “Username” line and in the “Password” line, enter the word “admin” in Latin (English) small (capital) letters without quotes. Then click “Login” on the screen, or press the Enter key on the keyboard.

To set up an Internet connection, select “Advanced settings”.

The window that appears shows the current connection that is installed on the router by default; in order to set up an Internet connection, click on the “Add” button.

Initially, select “Connection Type” – “L2TP + Dynamic IP”.

Next, go to the bottom of the settings window and fill in the fields “User name”, “Password”, “Password confirmation” (data from the contract), and also enter “172.16.0.1” in the “VPN server address” field. We check the correctness of the entered data and click “Save”.

After saving the settings of the newly created Internet connection, you need to save the configuration settings on the router. To do this, click on the light bulb image in the upper right corner of the window, and then on the word “Save”.

If all the data was entered correctly, then after refreshing the page you will be able to see that the Internet connection on the router is established and now you need to configure Wi-Fi; to do this, click on the left arrow.

Setting up WI-FI For settings wireless connection In the advanced settings menu, select WI-FI, “Basic settings”.

In the “SSID” field, you must enter the name of the wireless network, any convenient for you, the main thing is that it is entered in Latin characters and/or numbers. After entering, click on the “Apply” button; the remaining parameters can be left as default.

To prevent people from connecting to your wireless network strangers Network security needs to be configured. For this purpose in WI-FI menu In the advanced settings window, select “Security Settings.”

In the window that appears, in the field network authentication select "WPA2-PSK".

Key field PSK encryption" is the password for your wireless network; you can write any sequence of Latin characters and/or numbers there.

Today, every home has the Internet. Many providers give a router as a gift when you connect. However, this is usually done on the condition that the router will be flashed for only one provider. But if you bought the router yourself, you’ll have to figure it out a little.

A router, or router, is a device that provides us with fast wireless Internet throughout the house. Thanks to the router, we can not be tied to one place when using the Internet, for example on a laptop. Let's briefly look at how the D-LINK DIR-300 router will be configured.

The model that we will set up today has gained quite a lot of popularity in the Russian Federation and the CIS. In terms of characteristics, everything is generally standard.

LEDs and ports

There are 4 types of indicators on the front of our router. One by one, starting with the D-Link inscription:

1. First of all, as expected, the device’s power status button. On – D-Link is on, off – off. If it lights up yellow, it means that the router is still turning on.
2. An indicator in the form of a planet indicates the status of the Internet connection. Only in this case green means stable working condition, flashing green means active use Internet, steady yellow light - no Internet.
3. An LED that shows the status of the wireless network. Green – everything is working properly, green blinking – data is being transmitted over the wireless network.
4. The last 4 indicators are responsible for LAN ports, respectively. Here it’s the same as in point 3.

The back panel is presented:

1. First comes the place to screw in the antenna (or it may already be attached). The antenna is designed to increase the signal range.
2. After that there are 4 ports for the network cable.
3. One connector for Internet cable - WAN.
4. Place for power cord.
5. A hole labeled "Reset", which suggests a "reset". Designed to reset settings to factory settings.

There is also a WPS button on the side of the router. It allows you to quickly add a new device to the network. The indicator has three configurations:

1. Light of blue color flashes, this means that an attempt is being made to connect the device.

2. blue light lights up without interference – the device is connected.

3. Yellow light means connection error.

Now let's look at how it actually happens D-Link setup DIR-300.

Device installation

To start setting up WiFi router D-Link needs to look into the box of our device if everything we need is inside. There should be a LAN cable, a power supply and possibly an antenna if it is not screwed in beforehand. If everything is there, then we perform a short step by step instructions for installing the router.

1. First you need to screw on the antenna, if this has not been done before.

2. Connect our device to electricity. We will need a power connector and a power supply.

3. Connect the router to our PC or laptop via one of the four LAN ports. This is important for initial debugging.

4. Connect the cable that supplies the Internet to the house to the “INTERNET” connector. This cable must be provided by the provider or Internet company.

5. Router installation is complete. Actually that's all.

Debugging the device

This stage is much more difficult, because you will have to deal with a computer. Before attempting to enter the configuration menu, we strongly recommend resetting the settings. Especially if the router has already been used. For D-Link router DIR-300 reset to factory settings Wi-Fi router D-Link DIR-300 is done using a button located inside the “reset” connector. You can press the button using a paper clip. Press and hold the button for 10 seconds to return to factory settings.

After this, the WiFi settings on the D-Link DIR-300 router become the same as they were at the factory. Now we need to make sure that our computer has successfully connected to the wireless network distribution device.

Let's go directly to the setup. First, go to the modem debugging page. In the address bar of the browser we enter the site “192.168.1.1” without quotes. Sometimes it may be "192.168.0.1". Enter the standard login and password – “admin” (username and password are the same). This information can be found at the bottom of our device.

Setting up IPTV on the D-Link DIR-300 router begins by clicking on the “Network” tab. Here we click on our connection in the “direction” “WAN”. A debugging window should open, where we select our connection type. You need to look into the contract with the Internet company; it usually indicates the type of connection that you need to choose. You may need to enter your Internet login and password; this is also provided by the company.

We save the data. In D-Link Dir-300 Wi-Fi setup performed only after the above steps. Now we are making a LAN connection and setting up a wireless network, to do this, go to the “Wi-Fi” tab, first you need “ General settings" Here we put a checkmark next to “Enable b.s.” Now go to “Basic Settings”.

SSID is your name wireless internet, which will be displayed when connected. Here you can use all your creativity to come up with a really worthwhile name.

In the “security settings” in the “encryption key” field, which is also the WIFI password, enter the password that you consider necessary. Note: You should not enter numbers from 1 to 9 or similar simple passwords.

Don't forget to save all settings. In general, this completes the setup in the D-Link DIR-300 router. And the operation of the router is quite simple, it works as a repeater that makes several Internet streams from one. You can also change the name and password for logging into the admin area, which is needed to set up WiFi on the D-Link DIR-300 router, but this step is often skipped.

You can connect to the Internet and use it to its fullest.

Routers under the D-Link brand are among the most popular in Russia. Their main advantages are low price, reliability, sufficient provision high speed Internet access.

Routers have become especially popular in the Russian Federation D-Link series DIR: 620, 2640U, 320, 615, 300, equipped Wi-Fi module. In turn, among wired devices it is popular D-Link device DIR 2500U. How is the D-Link DIR router configured depending on the modification? Are there noticeable differences in working with devices of different series?

It can be noted that, regardless of which specific modification the released by D-Link router, the device is configured using similar algorithms. At the same time, setting the necessary options when working with almost any modem of the D-Link series is sufficient simple procedure. However, there are specific features for each device. And therefore, we are exploring them, studying the specifics of working with each device of the marked series.

Router D-Link 620

Let's look at how to configure the D-Link 620 router. Within this manual we will connect the Internet, accessed via an Ethernet channel. First of all, we connect the appropriate cable to the appropriate port on the router.

The next step is to configure the software part of the connection interface on the PC. To do this, you need to enter the “Control Panel” of the operating room. Windows systems, then select “Network connections”. Then we find the network card (or select the one that is used to connect to the Internet), click right button mouse, select “Properties”. Next, left-click on the “TCP/IP Protocol” item. Select “Properties”. We set the settings to “automatic” in all points.

The next step is to connect the PC’s network card and one of the free ports of the router using an Ethernet cable ( this type cable is typical when connecting to the Internet via network card).

Next, open a window in any browser, for example, Internet Explorer, Opera or Google Chrome- not important, functionality required interface does not depend on the type of program used. Enter in the address bar next command— 192.168.0.1, press the Enter key. After this, the user is taken to the router management window. You will be required to enter a username and password. In most cases, when setting up a D-Link router, you must enter admin in both fields. This is a universal login and password programmed at the factory for devices of the type in question.

After entering the router management area, select the tab called “Network”. Next, click on “Connections”, then on the icon WAN connections. On the page that will load after clicking on WAN, you will need to make sure that the boxes for obtaining a DNS address and IP are checked. IN general case You don't need to change anything on this page. Most modern Russian providers do not require any adjustment this setting D-Link router. Rostelecom, for example, is among them.

Next, return to the “Network” and “Connection” tab. Click “Add”. After this, you will need to enter the settings that must be provided by the provider operating in a particular city (moreover, they may differ for houses located in different parts locality). After entering the required values, click “Save”.

Wi-Fi setup specifics

As a rule, if you are setting up a D-Link router, WiFi can also be activated. In order to use wireless module device, you must select the “Network” tab again, then “Wi-Fi”. In the window that opens, enter the network name - any convenient for the user, with Latin letters. You can also set maximum amount devices (“clients”) simultaneously connected to the router. For example, if a person uses three devices - say, a PC, a laptop and a smartphone, then you can enter the number 3.

Next, select the “Security Settings” tab. We install authentication using the WPA2/PSK mixed standard (mixed type of security) - it is considered one of the most reliable. We choose TKIP+AES encryption, since this option is recognized by many IT experts as optimal from the point of view of network protection. After that, enter the password. Its minimum length is 8 characters. However, IT specialists recommend entering a longer password. It should also be, if possible, complex - so that it is difficult to guess. Using a password, you can control access to a Wi-Fi network, sharing it only with those people who have the right to use the Internet to which the owner of the router is connected.

Note that setting up Wi-Fi, the main nuances of which we noted, is generally carried out according to the same principles when working with other routers of the series in question.

After all the settings, click “System”, then “Save and reboot”. This completes the setup of the D-Link 620 router. In a few minutes you can start using the Internet. If something doesn't work, it is advisable to contact the provider's support service.

As a rule, if the connection to the network was successful, then once the router settings are fixed, they should provide proper work the entire system and subsequently. At the same time, in some cases, one or another type of technological upgrade may occur on the Internet provider’s side, which may predetermine the need to adjust the operation of the router. In this case, the user will likely have to communicate with the service provider to identify the most optimal settings devices.

Setting up the D-Link 2500U device

Let's now look at how to configure the D-Link 2500U router, another popular device. From the point of view of working with software interfaces Windows, the algorithm of actions is the same - you need to make sure that in the network card settings there are checkboxes next to the items about obtaining a DNS address and IP automatically.

Just as in the case of the previous router, we connect all the wires, and then enter 192.168.1.1 into the browser line. The username and password will be admin. In most cases, the menu of a router of this brand is in English. To start setting up your Internet connection, click the WAN tab. Select the Add button, after which we get to the settings page itself. Here, as in the previous case, we will need data from the provider. The values ​​of both VPI and VCI can vary, thus not only between different cities, but also between areas of the same settlement. After the user has entered necessary settings, you can click Next.

On the page that opens, select the correct type network protocol, also consulting with your provider. For many Russian suppliers Internet access services, PPP mode is typical over Ethernet, regarding Encapsulation Mode (“encapsulation format”) - LLC/SNAP-BRIDGING option. Click Next.

The next window, of course, will also require knowledge of data that can only be provided by the provider - this is the login and password. The remaining options on the page, as a rule, do not need to be adjusted (unless the provider's support service advises otherwise). Click Next.

Setting up a D-Link router of the series in question usually does not require adjusting the items on the page that opens, but it doesn’t hurt to consult with your provider about this issue. If technical support specialists do not give any recommendations, click Next. After switching to next page— Apply (“apply settings”). After loading the next interface, click the Finish button and wait until the device reboots. After a few minutes you can try using the Internet. If something doesn’t work out, call technical support.

Although this router is not equipped with a Wi-Fi module, many experts consider it a reliable and easy-to-use device. At the same time, as is the case with many other devices from D-Link, if the technology for providing Internet access on the part of the provider changes, the user may need to find out new settings directly from the communication service provider.

Working with the D-Link 2640U modem

Let's now study how to configure the D-Link 2640U router. The first steps in working with this device will be the same as in the case of previous devices - install through the “Control Panel” operating system Windows automatic receipt DNS addresses and IPs.

Next, as when setting up previous routers, we enter the modem settings panel through the browser. The address will look like this - 192.168.1.1. The login and password will be the same - admin. The router configuration interface in this case will probably be in Russian. Select “Network” and then “Connections”. Click the “Add” button.

The most likely “connection type” is PPPoE. Connection in the “Bridge” format is much less commonly used.

Next, we specify the VPI and VCI settings - we, as in previous cases, will find them out from the provider. Similarly, we ask the service provider for a login and password (by the way, they are often indicated in subscription agreement— you can try to find them there). It is recommended to activate the Keep Alive option. Regarding indicators for LCP, it is also recommended to find out their optimal values ​​from the provider. But, as a rule, it is optimal to set the number 15 in the “interval” option, and 2 in the “gaps” option. Also, activate IGMP. Click the “Save” button.

Now let's move on to working with another the most important function, which includes setting up the D-link router - WiFi. To do this, press, respectively, Wi-Fi button, then “basic settings”. We write the desired name of the network, then set the encryption standard - just like in the case of the D-Link 620 modem, this is WPA2-PSK, enter the password for the network. Save the settings. Then click “System”. Next is the “Save and Reload” item. After a few minutes we try to use the Internet.

Setting up a D-Link 320 and 300 modem

Let's study how to configure the D-Link 320 router. It is noteworthy that the model with index 300 is configured in almost the same way. First steps - as usual, connect the wires, in Windows settings We set the DNS address and IP to be automatically obtained. Open the browser and enter 192.168.0.1 in the address bar. The login and password, as in previous cases, are the same - admin, we get to the web interface of the router control panel. As a rule, you are immediately prompted to change the factory default password to a custom one. If desired, an appropriate replacement can be made.

Next, select the “Network” menu item, then “Connections”. Click “Add”. The main settings window will open. There we choose desired type connections (usually PPPoE). In point " PPP setup» enter your login and password, which, as in previous cases, can be requested from the provider or, alternatively, found in the subscription agreement. The MTU value will also need to be checked with your network access provider; in many cases this figure is 1492. In general, these are all the settings that need to be made. We save the parameters.

Next we need to configure Wi-Fi. Select the appropriate item in the menu. Enter the desired wireless network name and configure security. As in previous cases, select the WPA2-PSK encryption standard and enter the password. Click “Change”. Then select “System”, then “Save”. As we noted above, setting up the D-Link 300 router is performed using almost the same algorithms. This device and D-Link 320 are actually devices from the same line.

Setting up a D-Link 615 modem

Let's look at how the D-Link 615 router is configured. First, we do everything as when working with previous modems: we connect the wires, set the automatic acquisition of the DNS address and IP in Windows interfaces. Next, go to the browser and enter 192.168.0.1 in the address bar. Enter admin in the “login” and “password” fields. The system may offer to change the relevant data - if desired, we will carry out the replacement.

The distinctive specificity that characterizes this router released by D-link is that setting up a wireless connection is desirable first of all. To do this, you need to press the SETUP button in the start menu of the device control panel. Next, select Wireless Settings. After - Manual Wireless Connection Setup.

Next, it is important to set correct parameters wireless connection. So, regarding the PROTECTED SETUP item, it is advisable to uncheck the Enable option. At the same time, you should make sure that the checkbox next to the Enable Wireless and Always options (“ constant mode") is installed. In the Network Name item, enter the name for the network. Set the mixed type for the 802.11 communication protocol. Regarding the security settings, Security Mode, it is optimal to set the WPA-Personal parameter. In the Cipher Type item, select AES. Next, enter the password (Pre -Shared Key) for a wireless network. After checking that all parameters are correct, save the settings by clicking the “Save” button.

Having configured the wireless network, you can move on to working with options related to connecting to the Internet. Press the SETUP button, then - Internet, then - Manual Internet Connection Setup. In the menu that opens, we have to indicate the communication protocol used (most likely it will be PPPoE), login and password (we ask the provider, look in the subscription agreement). Can also be customized additional parameter by clicking on Clone MAC Address. For the Connect item Mode Select Always On mode should be set. Recommended MTU value You should check with your provider, most likely it will be 1472. After checking that the settings are correct, click Save Settings, after which the router will save the settings and reboot. After a few minutes, you can try to start using the Internet.

Features of setting up D-Link modems

If we have a router issued by D-Link at our disposal, setup of this device, as a rule, is performed within the framework of very simple algorithms, generally similar for all device models. What features can be highlighted regarding the configuration of the types of devices we have considered?

First of all, we note that information from the provider will be no less useful for us, along with knowledge of the router configuration algorithm - and this main feature working with devices. Step-by-step setup D-Link router in any modification requires the appropriate data. If they are not at hand, then connecting to the Internet will be problematic, since the spread of indicators that determine the technological specifics of connecting to the network can be very large in practice, and it is not easy to guess the right one. Knowledge of the specifics of the standards used by the provider is exclusively important aspect, without it it is difficult to correctly configure the D-Link router. Beeline, Rostelecom, other large suppliers, as well as various operators may be characterized by noticeable differences in technological approaches. But, as a rule, the provider’s support service is open to communication with the user. Her specialist usually always tells you the necessary settings.

What other features does a router released under the D-Link brand have? Setting up devices within the series we reviewed, as we found out, at the very first stages of working with the devices requires entering a login and password. They are usually standard and sound like admin. But it may well turn out that the user will have at his disposal a device with changed login and password settings. Which he may not even know. But it's not a problem.

Reset

It is enough to perform a hardware “reset” of all settings of the router. To do this you need to click RESET button, which is located at the back of the case. That is, in the same place as the connectors for connecting cables. Before pressing it, be sure to turn off the power to the device. After pressing, you should wait about a minute before working with the device again. After the user has reset the settings of the D-Link router, the factory login and password - admin - should work.

Please note that when you return to factory settings using the RESET button, all settings are canceled, including, in particular, those responsible for access to the wireless network. Therefore, if, for example, in the process of restoring working options, the user installs New Password on Wi-Fi, then he may need to communicate it to people who have used the network before, knowing only the previous one. Also, if, for example, devices such as a TV with Smart TV support or a set-top box were connected to the device via Wi-Fi, then the corresponding settings in them will also need to be updated if the password is set in the router.

Saving settings

The devices of the series in question have useful function saving settings (with the possibility of their subsequent restoration in case of failures). To do this, you need to set via the router management web interface correct settings and make sure that the Internet works with them. You can then save these settings. To do this, in the main menu of the router control panel, select the TOOLS button, then SYSTEM. To save the settings to a file on your computer disk, click Save Configuration, and then select the desired location in file system. It is also useful to make a copy of the saved file on another medium, such as a flash drive. In order to, in turn, restore the settings, then, having entered the same area of ​​the router control panel, you should click the “Browse” button (if the operating system version is Russian), and then specify the settings file that was previously written to disk or to a flash drive. Afterwards, click Restore Configuration Settings. Then you need to reboot the router by clicking the Reboot button. Also through of this interface you can restore the factory settings by pressing the Restore Device button - the effect will be the same as when pressing the RESET button on the device body.

Reboot required

The peculiarity of the devices in the series under consideration is that when changing the settings, the device must be rebooted every time. That is, if, for example, some kind of important file, and at the same time, a loss of connection is undesirable - it is better not to make changes to the router settings, but to wait until necessary information will load. Also, it may turn out that some other person is connected to the network via Wi-Fi, and a forced Internet shutdown may also be undesirable for him. Therefore, we wait until the router is free from use, and only after that we make the necessary adjustments in the settings.
