Router dir 615 does not work. Individual user connection settings. Setting a Wi-Fi password, setting up IPTV and Smart TV

In this article we will configure the very popular D-link DIR-615 router. I will write the article using an example. And if you have a different model, then it’s okay, almost everything is the same. These instructions are suitable for many D-link routers. I will try to write about everything in detail and clear language. I won’t talk much about the router itself, read my review and another useful information about DIR-615/A, you can follow the link above. Let me just say that this router is well suited for home use, or small office. It will easily provide stable Internet access for your computers, phones, tablets (via Wi-Fi) and other devices.

Concerning D-link settings DIR-615, then everything is very simple there. And if your provider uses Dynamic IP connection technology, then you just need to connect the router, and the Internet will already be working. You will only need to set a password for the Wi-Fi network and change the network name if necessary. The only thing I don’t like is that the settings in D-link change (in appearance) in almost every version. I will enter the router control panel. And therefore, the settings of your router may differ from those that you see in this article. But a firmware update may fix this.

We will configure D-link DIR-615 according to this scheme:

Connecting and logging into the control panel on D-link DIR-615
Setting up the Internet on D-link DIR-615 (connections to provider)
Settings Wi-Fi networks and change password

And now, about everything in more detail.

Connect D-link DIR-615 and go to settings

Connect power to the router and turn it on. If the indicators on the front panel of the router do not light up, check whether the power is turned on with the button on the rear panel. If you will be setting up the router via cable, then take the network cable that comes with the kit and connect the router to the computer. Connect one end of the cable to black LAN connector (1 of 4), and connect the other end to the network card of your computer (laptop). Connect the cable from your Internet provider to yellow WAN connector

If you don't have a computer with network card, or there is no cable, then you can configure everything via Wi-Fi. You can even do it from your phone or tablet.

You can also change the administrator password, which is used to access the router settings. If you haven’t changed it, or have changed it but have already forgotten, then you can do this on the tab System - Administrator password.

Enter twice New Password and press Apply. Don't forget to save your settings.

Be sure to write down this password somewhere. If you forget it, you will not be able to access the control panel and will have to reset the settings.

Afterword

Phew, I'm tired :) I won't write anything more. If you have any questions about the article, ask in the comments. I hope you were able to configure your router.

Setting up the D-link DIR-615 has not yet been described in as much detail as this time. In this publication we will look at how to configure a fairly common router from D-link DIR-615. In the article I will refer, as an example, to the D-link DIR-615/A. But even if you have a router of a different brand, it doesn’t matter, since in many ways the settings are identical for everyone. Because, this manual Applicable to most D-link models. I will try to present everything in detail and in accessible language.

I won’t describe the features of the router itself for a long time; if necessary, you can read about DIR-615/A if you follow the link located a little higher. I will only note that this model copes well with its functions at home, or in not too large offices. With its help, uninterrupted Internet is provided to computers, tablets, and phones via a wireless connection.

In terms of setting up the D-link DIR-615, it is quite easy to do. Provided that your Internet provider uses the Dynamic IP connection method, then you just need to connect and turn on the router, and you will have access to the Internet. You just need to put a secret code on Wi-Fi and change the name, if necessary. The only thing that doesn’t suit me is that in almost all editions the settings of the D-link parameters, that is, the control panel, are changed (visually). Therefore, your router settings may look different from what is shown in this post. Although this is fixable, you just need to reflash it.

We proceed according to the following scheme:

We connect the router and enter the D-link DIR-615 settings page.
Setting up an Internet connection on the router
We set up a wireless network and change the password combination.

Now let's look at each of the stages in more detail.

Connect D-link DIR-615 and go to settings

Turn on your router by first connecting it to a power source. If there are no lights in the foreground, the power button on the back may be turned off. In case the setting D-link DIR-615 will be carried out via cable, find power cord, and connect the access point to the computer (the cable is sold as part of the router). We connect one side of the cord to LAN black connector (to the first of four), and connect the other to network adapter laptop or computer. The Internet cable should be inserted into WAN connector, which is painted yellow.

If there is no cord available or a computer with network card, you can make settings using wireless network. In this case, even a phone or tablet will do.

Connecting the router to a wireless network for setup

Make an Internet connection under a common name"DIR-615"

There may be protection on it. In this case, use the password indicated at the bottom of the router

Then you should open the router control panel. But first, I recommend resetting everything existing settings, so that if they are established, they do not fail. Thus, we will configure our router “from scratch.”

Reset settings on D-link DIR-615

Resetting the settings is not at all difficult. To do this, take a sharp object and use it to press the button. RESET, which is slightly recessed into system case, and wait a little. Then stop pressing and wait for the router to reboot.

Log in to any Internet login program and navigate to the Internet address 192.168.0.1. A window will pop up asking for your login and secret code. If you have not changed this data, then dial admin both lines and the control panel page of your router opens.

It may be that the settings there will be on English language, which can easily be changed to a more suitable and understandable one (Russian, Ukrainian).

A window may also pop up instructing you to change the initial password used to log into the D-link control panel. Then enter any cipher you came up with and repeat the same one in next line. And be sure to remember, or better yet, write it down, since you will need to enter it every time you enter the router settings.

I recommend that you immediately, before setting up, download a new software to your D-link. You can read in detail how to do this in this article . But you can configure it further without firmware, if, for example, it will be difficult for you to do this.

After entering the password, we went directly to the settings, now we can configure the router.

The sequence of the Internet setup process on the D-link DIR-615 router

First of all, it is necessary find out what connection technology your provider uses. Active IP address, fixed, PPPoE (practices Dom.ru, and other Internet providers), L2TP (uses Beeline). In my articles I talked about how to find out the connection technology. It is possible to find out this information on the provider’s main website, or even call the company.

Provided that your Internet connection is made using the widely used Dynamic IP method, the router should distribute the signal as soon as a wire from the company that provides the Internet is connected to it. Then you will just need to make the wireless network settings (we’ll look at how to do this later). If you have a static IP address, then you will need to configure it.

Find the tab Start— Click'n'Connect. Double-check your internet cable connection and select Further.
Find the required connection from the list that appears. If, for example, your connection is PPPoE, and your Internet provider also provides IP in addition to this, then we choose PPPoE + Static IP. Provided that the IP address is not provided, then put the selection icon opposite PPPoE + Dynamic IP. We do the same if the connection is L2TP.
Next, enter the IP address data if it is provided to you (otherwise this window will not appear). And press the button Further.

Next, the “Addresses of local resources of the provider” window may open. If you don't know what it is, or you simply don't want to contribute additional addresses, then press Further. A window will pop up asking for the connection name and username, and to enter and confirm a password. This data is provided by your Internet service provider. To make more settings, go to the Details tab

Then a survey of Internet connections and the reality of connecting to Yandex selection will be carried out. But that's if you want. Still, these settings can be changed.

The settings were considered using the example of PPPoE for the D-link DIR-615 router. Your settings may vary.

If you set up an access point, but as a result there is no Internet, “no Internet access” is displayed, or there is no access to pages, then this problem is related to the settings from the provider company. Double-check, maybe you indicated the type of connection incorrectly, or some other data.

Therefore, with PPPoE connection, PPTP, L2TP and Dynamic IP are more complicated than the Static IP connection method.

Very important! Provided that you previously accessed the Internet using high-speed data exchange, now you, in fact, do not need it. This Internet connection will be carried out by your router and only distributed over the wire and wireless network.

Change settings from the provider using the same Click’n’Connect, or by going to Net —WAN, while selecting and changing the required connection.

Provided that everything is in order and the Internet connection through the router is available, then we proceed to setting the wireless network parameters.

A clear example of setting up Wi-Fi and changing the password combination on D-link DIR-615

Now we just need to change the name of the wireless network and come up with a different secret code to secure the Wi-Fi connection.

Stand on Wi-Fi - Basic settings. Here you can change our name wireless connection. In line SSID enter the name of the network - Internet, and select Apply.

Next, open the menu WiFi — Security Settings, and in the line "PSK encryption key" Enter the code; you will then use it each time to connect to the Wi-Fi network. Secret password must contain at least 8 characters. Remember, or write it somewhere so you don’t forget later

The parameter settings you have made must be saved. System - Save. It could be The final stage setting up the D-link DIR-615 router. If no settings

If you don't want to do this anymore, then reboot it. System - Reboot.

Now the Wi-Fi network is configured. In addition, you may need to look at a more detailed article on setting up Wi-Fi.

It is also possible to change the admin password, which must be used to enter the router settings. To do this you need to use the tab System - Administrator password.

Enter the code you created twice and select the button Apply. Be sure to save the steps you have taken.

Remember or make a note secret code, so that you don’t have to reset all the settings again, since without a password, logging into the router’s control panel will be unavailable.

Router DIR 615 is a model produced by Dlink, which has proven itself well in the market computer equipment. The router maintains a stable network and has Wi-Fi connectivity. It allows you to protect all home computers, while providing transparent communication between them. But not everyone will be able to correctly configure everything they need right away, so let’s check how simple it is.

Equipment

When purchasing such a device, we need to make sure that everything we need for initial work is already included in the package. It’s not very pleasant to buy a router, bring it home and realize that now you need to go get the cable, because when you turn it on for the first time, D Link DIR 615 configuration is carried out only by network cable. Special case Wi-Fi settings are not suitable for the first time - the network is disabled.

But the package contains everything we need for the first time: a cable for connecting to a computer, a pair of antennas, a power supply for the network, the device itself and a disk with programs. Also a whole bunch of papers, guarantees and most importantly - instructions in Russian. There are also special stand: The router can be placed on its edge so that it takes up less space on the table.

Connect to the computer

The connection is very simple. First, we screw on the antennas, they have the most common threads, then we take out the Internet cable from the computer and plug it into the wan socket on the D Link DIR 615. Setting up the first connection should be done via cable. There is usually a sticker next to the wan socket, unhook it, behind it are 4 identical ports. Use the supplied cable to connect one of the ports to the computer. Which of the four ports to choose is up to you to decide; now they are of equal value. On the computer we plug the cable into the socket where the Internet used to be. We connect the power supply. Everything we need for initial setup, ready. We plug the plug into the socket and wait for the router to boot. At the same time, turn on the computer if you haven’t done so before.

Start setting up

So, we connected the cables, turned on the computer, the router, but now there is no Internet - however, we don’t need it at first. You will need instructions in the instructions that are quite detailed, so we will use them.

We turn the pages to Russian (it is usually the second language in the brochure) and begin to configure. First you need to inform the Internet. To do this, you will need the settings provided by your provider upon connection. However, if your Internet connection is via adsl-modem, the settings will be significantly simplified. Now turn on the browser and enter the following numbers in the address bar: 192.168.0.1. The router receives this address at the factory, perhaps we will change it later.

In the login window that appears, enter the required data. They are in the instructions, but for this router they are ordinary: admin in both fields. Press "Enter" to confirm and you will be taken to main screen DIR 615. All parameter settings are displayed here. Can be customized in the floor automatic mode, using the buttons on the left, but it’s better to check and make all the settings yourself. Click “Advanced settings” in the lower right corner and proceed to the step-by-step setup. Usually the language is picked up correctly. If it is not Russian that opens, you can correct it using the button on the far right.

Internet setup

Let’s immediately make a reservation that if the Internet cable is connected to the modem, and not to the DIR 615, the setup is greatly simplified. The difference will be if Internet is coming via a modem, then in the router you can select static or the rest will be picked up by itself. If there is no modem, we will configure access to the network in the DIR 615 itself. Opens via the Wan link in the “Network” block in a newly opened window. Follow the link and select the connection type. Most providers use PPPoE. Select in top margin connection type. Then just below the port and name (this is most likely needed for you). In order for your provider to recognize the router and allow it to access the network, sometimes you need to replace the MAC. We do this a little lower in the “Ethernet” section. If you connected the router to the same network through which you previously accessed the network, click the “clone MAC” button. In the figure below it is not labeled; in this firmware version it is located to the right of the MTU -1492 field

In the "PPP" section, enter the user name, password and set the MTU value to 1492. This data is provided by the provider when connecting, and when MTU value Above the above there may be network problems. We set the remaining parameters as in the picture below.

Scroll further, in the “Miscellaneous” block we put two checkboxes: NAT is required, it is also advisable to enable “Firewall” - additional protection when working on the network. This is the same firewall or firewall, but built into the router. They are included in the picture below.

Save all settings by clicking on “Apply”. The main part is done. In a new browser tab, you can open, for example, the Yandex search engine.

Wi-Fi setup

If we have a laptop or smartphone, they can also access the Internet through the router. To do this, return to the main window DIR settings 615. is produced in a block that is called that way. Click on " General settings" and in the window that opens, select "Enable".

After saving the changes “Edit”, we will return to the main window. Now in the same block we will follow the link “Basic settings”. Here you need to set the network name (your smartphone will see it when searching for a network). Click “Change” again.

Actually, that’s all, if you live in a private house, the smart device will catch not only next to the router. If you are in an apartment and do not want your neighbors to use your connection, you need to protect it with a password. From the main window, follow the “Security Settings” link. Set the settings as shown in the picture below. Enter your password. Click “Change”.

Now those wishing to connect to your network must provide a password. You will also have to specify it, so you need to save the password.

That, in fact, is all that is needed for normal operation DIR 615 wifi setup done, now you need to try to find it on your laptop/smartphone new network and connect to it.

We can put an end to this. You can figure out the stand and try placing the router on its edge. We looked at the main operating parameters of DIR 615. Setting up other parameters is done according to the same principle and is described in detail in the instructions.

Conclusion

In conclusion, let’s touch on the issue of resetting DIR 615 settings. You may not need it, but it’s worth considering. The reset button is located on the back of the router in the form of a small hole in a circle labeled “reset”, next to the power socket. With the router turned on, use a paper clip or pin to press it (it is in this hole) and hold it for a minute. Once released, the router will begin to reboot, after which you can reconfigure the Internet, wi-fi and other settings.

Often, in such complex equipment as a router, some internal software errors occur. As a result, the device simply stops working normally - it does not “distribute” the Internet or simply does not allow you to connect to it. Such a difficult situation can be resolved in various ways. One of the simplest is reboot.

Reboot options

Run RestartrouterD—LinkDIR615 can be done in two ways:

Program

Many don't have much experienced users causing problems such as rebooting the router D-Link DIR 615. This operation is extremely simple; it does not require any special skills or abilities from the person performing it.

The soft reset process is carried out as follows:

After this, the router will automatically reboot. It should be remembered that if you have previously configured or entered any parameters, they must be saved.

You can also do this in the “System” section by selecting “Saveand Restart” - save and restart. This operation will save all important data in volatile memory.

Hardware

Performing a manual reboot is required in in case of emergency when for some reason you cannot use the web interface.

Implement this operation can be done in two ways:

At the back of the DIR 615 case there is a “Power” button. Using it, you can turn off the power supply to the device, even if the plug is inserted into a 220 (V) socket. After turning off the power, you need to press again this button. The device will turn on. This restart method is the fastest.

Sometimes it happens that the entered settings lead to serious software error during operation of the router. Moreover, these settings are saved in volatile memory and do not allow a restart programmatically because I can't log into the web interface. The manufacturer has provided similar situation. It is for this case that there is special button reset to default settings.

To perform this operation you will need a long thin object. For example, an awl or a ballpoint pen.

When something like this is available, proceed as follows:

take the device body in your hands and turn it towards you on the side where the LAN ports are located;
Find the button recessed into the plastic - press it and hold for 10 seconds.

After completing this operation, the device will reboot. U this method there is one drawback - all previously entered settings will be erased.

Restarting the D-Link DIR 615 is quite simple. But you should remember that not all methods allow you to save settings entered by the user.
