Manual Wi-Fi setup.

In the modern world it is difficult to imagine a person who can do without the Internet. It is thanks to access to the World Wide Web, everyone gets the opportunity to communicate with relatives living on the other edge of the planet, to be aware of all events, as well as study any of the information you are interested in. Times when wired Internet could only be connected to one device, such as a computer, long ago passed. Innovative developments greatly facilitated people's lives.

Currently, setting the house compact device - router, you can simultaneously connect several devices to the network, providing all family members to the Internet. Such devices released D-Link. The line of this manufacturer has good and inexpensive models. Domestic buyers are popular with multitasking and functional DIR-615. The characteristics of this device are ideal for creating a home wireless network. Setup does not take long. After installing the router, with a local connection, the data transfer rate reaches 100 Mbps, and Wi-Fi is up to 300 Mbps. Also in the apparatus implemented IPTV technology, which has recently been popular. Let's consider in detail the possibilities of this router model.

Packaging and equipment

The device is packed in a fairly bright cardboard box with a glossy surface. Orange was chosen as the primary color. The front side of the router is shoved over which designers have placed a speedometer with a maximum speed of 300 Mbps. In this way, the manufacturer presented the capabilities of the device. In addition, other D-Link DIR-615 is also indicated. For example, supporting the modern 802.11n standard, the ability to work with Windows Vista, as well as compatibility with CENTRINO technology.

From the back of the box, the manufacturer posted a router's use scheme. There is also a brief description of the characteristics in eight languages, including Russian. And the most important element on the package is a holographic emblem that allows you to judge the originality of the device.

Looking inside the box, you can experience a little disappointment. Set of components Manufacturer used minimal. It included: documentation in printing and on a CD disk, two antennas, a power supply, with which the device is connected to a 220V network, a network cable (LAN) and the most interesting thing - a stand that allows you to fix the device in a vertical position.

Appearance

The D-Link DIR-615 router has a classic form in the form of a rectangle with a bit rounded edges. The main surfaces are painted black. The router is decorated with a silver rim passing around the perimeter. This framework shows the logo and model index. Also here are nine indicators with designations. The housing is made of plastic with a smooth surface. On the top panel closer to the back side is a vent hole, it is also duplicated and below. In the center there is a D-Link inscription framed by a silver fine frame.

When making the bottom of the case, the developers have withstood a common design. For stability on the horizontal surface there are four legs. There are also holes with which you can secure the router on the wall. The center is the informative panel, where information about the D-Link DIR-615 device is specified (firmware, MAC address, password, PIN and other).

On the right side end there is a quick access button to Wi-Fi (activation / deactivation of the option). The front is the panel with Internet and LAN connectors. The latter is only four. Over the sides, two fasteners for antennas are derived. On the right side there is also a port for connecting the power supply unit and the RESET key.

D-Link DIR-615: device characteristics

Having understood with the peculiarities of the appearance, you can proceed to the study of the characteristics of the router. Consider the main:

Dimensions and weight: 193x116.8x30.5 mm, 340
Types Fixed and dynamic IP, PPTP, L2TP.
LAN port: four.
One, type - Fast Ethernet.
Range frequency: 2.4 GHz.
Number of antennas: Two, type - external, removable, amplification - 2DBI.
Standards and permissible speed: 802.11n (up to 300 Mbps), 802.11b (up to 11 Mbps), 802.11g (up to 54 Mbps).
Number of channels: 11.
Encryption code: WPA / WPA2-PERSONAL, WPA / WPA2 Enterprise.

Connection

In order to correctly install the router, you must look into the instructions. There are not only the characteristics of the D-Link DIR-615, but also the connection scheme. First of all, it will take to deal with cables. The box has a power supply with a round plug. The latter must be inserted into the corresponding connector displayed on the rear panel. After that, the user needs to connect the device with a PC or laptop by means of an interface wire. One end of it is connected to any LAN port (1 ... 4), and the second to the computer. Now you can go to the provider cable. For it, the router has a special connector with the designation of the Internet.

In order to check the installation correctness, you must enable both devices (computer and router). On the PC, open the browser and enter the router's network address. The manufacturer uses a standard digital combination - 192.168.0.1. After confirming the input, the window opens with a login and password request. In the first line you need to dial the word admin in English in English. The same is entered in the "Password" string.

D-Link DIR-615 is distinguished by a clear web interface. If the menu opened in English, it can be changed into Russian. To do this, click on the Advanced Settings point and go to the Language tab.

The menu has the quick setup option that the owner can use to set the main parameters. First you need to select the connection type. Some of them request an additional login and password that directly provides the provider. After that, you only need to create and protect the wireless network. This is easy, it is enough to come up with a name and select the appropriate encryption code, the most reliable is considered WPA 2.

Advantages and disadvantages

After studying the characteristics of the D-Link DIR-615 router, it is possible to highlight its pros and cons. The latest users took the most important Internet speed using 802.11n protocol. Also during operation, the device is heated, which affects the bandwidth.

There are, of course, and the advantages of this model. The list includes: an acceptable price (on average 1500 rubles), a wide functionality, a convenient and simple menu, fast setting.

In this manual, we will look at the detailed setting of the D-Link DIR-320 / NRU router (rev. B1), which, compared to the DIR-320, at the end of 2011, was changed by the web interface and supported Wi-Fi support standard 802.11n. It did not end on this refinement, now Dir 320 has learned to work with 3G modems directly from the box without any flashing.
It should be noted that at the end of 2011, D-Link has updated the web interface in all other routers for home and small office. Instead of black and orange (see Fig. 1), the Web interface in D-link \\ 'OB has become poorer in color: now the menu items have become the color of the sea wave, and the background is ordinary white (see Fig. 2).

Fig. 1 Previous VEB Interface "Dallenkov"

How to configure the D-Link router with the previous firmware (in orange colors), you can view this link.

Fig. 2 New Web Interface

The color on the D-link router box was changed, now the box also became white with a sea wave color on the sides, as well as black on top and bottom (see Fig. 3):

In this manual for configuring the DIR-320 / NRU, we will look at how to configure this router in DHCP mode, as well as in the PPTP (VPN) mode of the client. Our manual to configure the D-Link DIR-320 NRU router can be used for other models from a long defense line, which have a similar web interface and functionality:
. D-Link DIR-300 (VER. B5)
. D-Link DIR-615 (Ver. E4)
. D-Link DIR-655 (Ver. B1)
. And other models "Longs", which we could not mention.
Well ... We will assume that you turned out to be one of the D-link \\ 'oh with the new web interface, you got it out of the cardboard box along with the power adapter and the power cable. On the front side of the router, you will find LED indicators, which in the process of work talk about the "behavior" of the router at the moment (about the operation of its interfaces). On the rear panel, to the right of the antenna you will find 5 network connectors: 4 of them with LAN inscription are needed to connect internal cables from home PCs, and a network cable from an Internet provider is connected to a single connector with an Internet cable (this interface from routers is called WAN ). To the right of the WAN interface is a USB connector for connecting a 3G modem from a wireless Internet provider, and then the RESET button is reset to reset the router settings when necessary.
To the 4th LAN ports of the DIR-320, you can connect up to 4 PCs or laptops over a network cable. By the way, one of these blue cables (the usual patch of Cord) is already included with the router, so you can use it to configure. If you need to connect more than 4 pc to the router on the cable, then you can resolve the port capacity deficit using an unmanaged network switch (switches) that you connect to one of the LAN ports of the router. As a result, from one port you will get a few more (depending on the switchboard capacitance you buy).
We reviewed the basic information about the possibilities of our router, you can now go to configure it. But first, you need to connect the router to a computer or to a laptop, after which we will get access to the web interface of our router.

Connecting the D-Link DIR-320 / NRU router in Windows 7 and XP
Before setting up our D-Link DIR-320, you must perform a number of preparatory activities - to find a contract from your Internet provider (perhaps from there you will need data on IP parameters and connection information with the provider); Next, connect the blue network cable of any LAN interface of the router with a network card on a PC or a laptop from which you will configure, well, and connect the power adapter to your router. As for the cable from the provider, it must be connected to the interface in the Internet (WAN). If you have the Internet home available using ADSL or DOXIS technology, then in the WAN connector of the router, you should connect a network cable that comes from the modem.
Now you should translate TCP / IP settings on your PC to the client DHCP mode (automatically obtaining IP addresses). Below we will look at how to do this on the example of Windows XP and Windows 7.
Connecting the D-Link DIR-320 / NRU router in Windows XP:
Start - Control Panel - Network Connections - Local Network Connection - Properties - Internet Protocol (TCP / IP) - Next, see Fig. four

Connecting a D-Link DIR-320 / NRU router in Windows 7:
Start - Dick View Network - Choose at the top in search results - View network connections - Connection over the local network - Properties - Internet Protocol version 4 - Next, see Fig. five

By default, all D-link \\ 'and issue an IP address from the range of 192.168.0.1/24 into the internal network. Therefore, after 10-20 seconds, your PC or a laptop should receive the IP address from the router. It will look like 192.168.0.101 or 192.168.0.102. In Windows XP, track the receipt of the IP address from the router, by opening the connection status on the local network. (see Fig. 6)

The inscription about the fact that the network card is assigned by DHCP, means that the router successfully issued a computer to the LAN interface internal IP address. If this does not occur or appears the IP address of the view - 169. ***. ***. ***, I do not exclude problems with the work of the client DHCP on your computer. Most often this can be caused by the work of firewalls (firewalls), but there are other reasons ... In this case, we can advise to register the necessary IP addresses in the network card settings manually. To do this, it will be enough to specify the following IP parameters on your PC or laptop:
. IP - 192.168.0.101
. Subnet mask - 255.255.255.0
. Main Gateway - 192.168.0.1
. DNS - 192.168.0.1
We assume that you have completed the connection of the router to the computer's system block. We proceed directly to setting up our router.

Configuring the D-Link DIR-320 / NRU router (Hardware Rev. B1)
Customize D-Link DIR-320 We will be through the web interface. To do this, it is necessary in any computer browser (Opera, Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Chrome) in the address bar to go to the address: http://192.168.0.1 (usually this address is all D-link \\ 'and have by default). You will see a greeting of the router on the screen of your computer (see Fig. 7)

To enter the VEB interface d-link \\ ', you will need to enter the username and password, and then click on the input. By default, the username is Admin, password - admin. After entering the credentials, you will see a pop-up message from the router (see Fig. 8)

In this DIR-320 message, it requires a default password to change the default password, which will continue to be used to enter the router. You only have to click on OK and set a new password in the next window (see Fig. 9)

Here you need to enter a new password and confirmation, after which it remains only to click on the Save button. Next, the router again suggest authorized, but already with a new password (see Fig. 10). Well, nothing remains how to enter credentials again ...

Enter the username and password, then click on the entrance. Next, you will be taken to the main menu of the D-Link DIR-320 (B1) router, where you will see information about the device (see Fig. 11)

This is what the new web interface in D-link \\ 's. The author of this manual did not really like the interface in terms of appearance and ease of use, but there was more functionally in new firmware. Important: Now to save the configuration after any change settings (!) You must press the Save button in the upper right corner each time.

Firmware update at the D-Link DIR-320 / NRU router
Now we recommend make sure that the latest version of the firmware is installed in the Dir-320 / NRU router! For inexperienced users, we will explain: the firmware is the internal router software. In the new versions of the firmware, errors are usually corrected, and sometimes an additional functionality is added. You can find out the current firmware version directly in the main menu (see Fig. 11). You will find the firmware version in the Device Information field. In our particular case, we are dealing with version 1.2.94.
Now you need to make sure - is there no firmware on the manufacturer's website. To do this, you must click on the FTP server of the manufacturer and see - updates firmware for DIR-320 / NRU (see Fig. 12). We see on the site just one file with the same version that is already installed in our router (judging by the file name). This means that at the moment there are no firmware updates. But we will still drive it to your computer and move to that PC from which you set up your router to show how you can update on your router as part of this manual.

For the absence of new versions in this particular case, we will establish the same version to show the essence of the flashing process. You set yourself a newer version as soon as it appears on the manufacturer's website. We recommend to look at the FTP server for a long time in 3 months and check availability!
So, we turn to the firmware update procedure in the D-Link router. You can do this in the System - Update software (see Fig. 13)

You need to inform the router where the file with the firmware is located. To do this, click the button to select the file and in Windows Explorer get to the file with the firmware for the DIR-320 / NRU, click on the Open button, and then update.
After that, the router will start updating its firmware, you only have to wait for the end of the process at this moment.
Attention!!! In during the next 3 minutes, do not turn off the power of the wireless router and do not interrupt the process of flashing by any other actions!
In the process of updating the software, you will see an operation course indicator on the screen (see Fig. 14)

After some time, the router will fill a new firmware into its subsoil, will reboot and suggest to perform re-authorization (see Fig. 10). Note that the router after flashing will reset all its previous settings. Enter the username and password (Admin and Admin), after which once again click on the input. The router will again ask to change the default password, but we all have already passed in Fig. 8-10.
If everything happened as described above, you can take our congratulations - you have successfully updated the firmware of your D-Link DIR-320 / NRU! If the router did not give the authorization windows, and repeated attempts to go to 192.168.0.1 5 minutes after the start of the firmware update, do not succeed, then with a router, most likely happened by PE. Restart it through the power interruption and in the absence of a response, contact the manufacturer's service center!
Now it is time to make sure that the router is updated by that firmware that we poured into it. This information will be listed in the main menu D-Link DIR-320 / NRU (see Fig. 15)

Here we see that version 1.2.94 is installed over time of assembly of August 3, 2011. Before that, we had an assembly of May 13, 2011 (see Fig. 11). With update, the firmware is completed, now let's go to the immediate configuration of our D-Link DIR-320 / NRU.

Connection with Internet connection in D-Link DIR-320 / NRU
Now it's time to configure the connection of the router with the Internet provider. In D-Link DIR-320 NRU, this can be done in P. Connections - WAN (see Fig. 16)

As we have already been warned above, in this manual we will show how to configure the D-Link DIR-320 NRU router using DHCP and PPTP VPN protocols. If you have access to the Internet available on another protocol, here it will be necessary to contact technical support for configuration clarification.

To begin with, we will perform the setting of the DIR-320 NRU in DHCP mode
To do this, click on the WAN interface line (Fig. 16), then the window of its detailed settings appears in front of the network / connection window (see Fig. 17)

In the DHCP mode (automatically obtaining IP parameters from the provider), no special difficulties with the D-Link DIR-320 / NRU setting should not arise. To do this, in the Connection Type field, you must leave the option in the IPOE position.
In the Mac field, you can apply to your value for the physical address of the router (by WAN interface). This may be quite by the way when the provider implemented the MAC address to the IP address of the clients on the network. Since each network device has its own unique MAC address, this option allows you to avoid calling the provider when replacing the network equipment connected by the last mile (for example, the equipment is replaced from the network card to the router). You can make an address that is identical to the mass address of your computer on which you worked before installing the router. If you wish to use a router with a "non-" mass address network, then fill in this option. If you want to register the Mac address of the router, you will have to make a call to your provider and tell it the MAS address, which can be found on the bottom of the router (six pairs of digging).
Next, leave the checkboxes on the n. Get the IP address automatically and get the address of the DNS server automatically. It will force the router to automatically pick up the settings from the DHCP server of the Internet provider.
More options we will not change here, in DHCP mode everything will work and so 😉
It remains only to click on the Save button.
And then do not forget to click on the Save button already in the next window in Fig. 18 so that after rebooting the router "Do not forget" settings.

Now is the time to check the performance of the settings. This can be done in the status - network statistics (see Fig. 19)

Here in the WAN field you can see the information that the DHCP router client successfully received the necessary IP parameters from the provider. In fact, you can already work on the Internet from the computer, which you have connected to the LAN interface of the DIR-320 / NRU router.

Now do the DIR-320 NRU router setting in PPTP VPN mode
The VPN protocol is often used by house providers to provide Internet access. Configuring the D-Link DIR-320 NRU router in PPTP mode is performed in the already familiar n. Connections (see Fig. 20). To connect via PPTP or L2TP, you need to create a new interface. (Note: To begin with, we still need to configure the router to work on a WAN interface with an IPOE connection type. If your provider has a diagram for DHCP on the local network is not implemented, then you will probably have to first configure the Wan IPoe in Static IP mode).

In this menu, we need to create another interface for connecting via PPTP. To do this, click the Add button, after which the menu will open on the screen to configure the new interface (see Fig. 21).

To configure the router to work on a VPN connection, you must set the connection type to PPTP position. (Note: If your provider provides L2TP access, this protocol is selected in the same menu).
Next, consider the rest of the necessary options for configuring the DIR-320 / NRU in PPTP mode [from above-down]:
wANPPTSNameType - Allows you to set a way to specify the VPN server address: as a domain name or in the form of an IP address. If the provider recommends setting the server address in the form of a domain name, you select the URL version, if in the form of an IP address, then an IP version. (Tip: Look at your contract with the provider and find how it is recommended to specify the address of the VPN of the Welder. You can still contact technical support for clarification);
Server Address - This indicates the above-mentioned version of the VPN server. Or in the form of a domain name, or in the form of IP - depending on the WANPPTPSNameType option;
PPP Username - In this option, login is entered for authorization with a VPN server. It can be found in his contract with the provider.
Password is a password for connecting to a VPN server provider (see your contract).
Password confirmation - Here you will need to re-enter a password for authentication on a VPN server to eliminate the error when typing;
Encryption - here is activated encryption data transmitted via VPN. Usually, providers encrypt the VPN tunnel does not apply, so we leave the option - without encryption.
Authentication Algorithm - Here you can select the type of authentication that the VPN server provider supports. For more information, you can contact technical support. But you can choose the AUTO version, then the router itself will try to choose a compatible authentication option.
More in this menu, no options can be touched. After clicking on the Save Tunnel button to the VPN provider server, the provider must be successfully established.

Check whether the VPN session rose, you can in the connection menu (see Fig. 22). To move the traffic via VPN, be sure to set the default gateway label opposite the PPTP connection and save the settings through the button in the upper right corner!

The inscription that the PPTP type is in a state connected indicates successful actions on your part. If the inscription is not connected, then an error was made somewhere in the previous stages ...

Routing (Routing) Setup for Local Resource Access
The next step when configuring D-Link routers in PPTP VPN mode is usually filling the routing table. This procedure is necessary to simultaneously access local provider's network resources with a VPN connections installed. Actually, if you are not very interested in local resources, you can skip this stage. For those who are going to further enjoy local services such as FTP or DC ++, customize routing will have to. Do it in the DIR-320 / NRU you can additionally - routing (see Fig. 23)

This menu is a table for static routes. Static routes that are needed in your particular case, you can learn in the technical support of your provider.
To create a new local route in the D-Link DIR-320 / NRU you need to click on the Add button, then a window will appear to create a new routing rule (see Fig. 24).

Here in the Destination Network field, specify the destination area of \u200b\u200bthis route.
In the destination mask field, specify the subnet mask for a specific route.
In the Gateway field, you should specify the address of your local gateway (you can learn from my contract or you could look at the local network connection status on the computer that before installing the router was connected to the provider cable).
In the metric field, you can put one unit. This value sets the priority for this specific routing rule.
In the field via the interface, you can leave the option, then the D-Link DIR-320 / NRU router itself determines - on which interface it is more expedient to use this route.
To create the rule, you can only click on the Save button.
In such a free way, you should be applied to the routing table all the necessary rules. As a result, local traffic will go precisely the directions that you indicated in your rules.
You can see in Fig. 25 (just do not forget that the address of the local gateway in each case is individual!

After enhancing all the necessary routes, it remains to save the router parameters by pressing the Save button. On this routing setting in the D-Link DIR-320 / NRU router, it can be finished.
Setting up Wi-Fi connections to D-Link DIR-320 / NRU
D-Link DIR-320 / NRU router, unlike its predecessor - DIR-320, supports a more high-speed Wi-Fi standard, which allows you to transmit data over a wireless network at a speed - up to 150 Mbps when using the appropriate Wi-Fi Equipment from the client side (the adapter is suitable !!! D-Link DWA-140 !!!). Setting up a Wi-Fi Wi-Fi network in the new D-link \\ 'Ah DIR series is made in Wi-Fi - General settings (see Fig. 26)

Here you can completely turn off the Wi-Fi module in your router. Then the router will turn from wireless in wired. Next, we will turn to the Basic Settings item in which you can specify the name of the network and select the wireless communication standard (see Fig. 27):

Hide access point - disables the network identifier (SSID) distribution, it allows you to hide your network from Windows devices, speaking a safety device. True, in this case you will have to create a profile to connect to a wireless network manually.
SSID - Wireless Network Name (Network ID). Under this title, the network will be visible in wireless Wi-Fi clients.
Country - All Russians can be left a version of Russian Federation.
Channel is a compulsory selection of a channel for wireless communication. We do not recommend dealing with channel number 6, since most Wi-Fi equipment works by default on this channel (few users change it). Ideally, we recommend to stop your choice on channel 1 or channel 12 to minimize the probability of interference with neighbors networks.
Wireless mode - Here you can select the 802.11g or 802.11n wireless communication mode, and maybe even outdated 802.11b or a combination thereof. In mixed mode of operation (802.11 b / g / n Mixed), keep in mind that the total speed of the network when connecting diverse customers will be asked to the level of the slowest client.
A little lower, you can set the maximum number of customers that will connect to the router.
Next you can click on changing and you can go to the encryption setting on the network.
Wireless network encryption is configured in security settings (see Fig. 28)

In the Network Authentication option, you can choose an encryption algorithm in a wireless network. We recommend to stop your choice on the most versatile version of WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK Mixed - it will provide support for most modern Wi-Fi equipment.
In the PSK encryption key field, you specify a password to your wireless Wi-Fi network. We recommend using a password from 8 to 10 characters with a length consisting of capital and lowercase letters, special characters and numbers. This minimizes the likelihood of password selection by intruders.
In the WPA-encryption option, you can choose an algorithm for WPA encryption. TKIP is a less crypto-resistant option compared to AES, but some wireless clients may not work with AES. We recommend putting a TKIP + AES option, then you will provide compatibility with most Wi-Fi customers.
The WPA key update period can be left by default.
Next, it remains only to click on the Edit button.
I would like to say a few words about one option in additional wireless settings (see Fig. 29)

Here the TX option is responsible for the radiation of the wireless antenna. You can experimentally reduce it to such a level when it will be enough to cover the apartment / room, and it will not be too much to look outside the apartment. This will reduce the likelihood of hacking a wireless network from your neighbors-hackers :) And on health it will affect the better, especially if you smoke 😉
On this setting of wireless Wi-Fi network in D-Link DIR-320 / NRU, it can be completed. To use Wi-Fi at home you will be quite sufficiently considered above manipulations.
Now you can include your laptop and connect it to the Wi-Fi network.

Forwarding ports for DC and Torrent in D-Link DIR-320 NRU
Setting up port forwarding (port forwarding or port forwarding) must be done if you plan to use in the home network of the program and devices that require unsatisfied access to them from the local network of the provider or external Internet. For example, it may be necessary in the case of access to home IP Web Camera or when working with Torrent or DC ++ file sharing services. The principle of forwarding ports is as follows: You independently report the DIR-320 / NRU router, which type of unstended traffic from the outside the router should be transferred to a specific IP address of the home network.
Consider the ports of ports in D-Link DIR-320 NRU for DC and UTorrent:
You can configure Port Forwarding in a D-Link router in a firewall - virtual servers (see Fig. 30). New rules are created after clicking on the Add button.

In this menu, the long-standing router you can create the necessary rules for port forwarding. Moreover, these rules can be created both based on ready-made templates and for certain traffic.

Consider lower how to block ports in the D-Link DIR-320NRU router for the DC ++ file sharing program (see Fig. 31):

In the DC connection settings, you will need to activate the Firewall Connection Mode with manual ports. For a file sharing inside the provider's network in the Outdoor / WAN IP field, enter an intrahetic ip address that the provider under the contract is issued. If it is supposed to work with DC ++ on the external Internet, then in the Outer / Wan IP field, you will need to enter your dedicated / external IP address (for more information, contact your provider).
In the ports field: TCP and UDP you need to enter port values \u200b\u200bfor which you plan to further work your DC client. We recommend that you choose port values \u200b\u200bthat are easy to remember, but these ports are not busy with the system.
After that, let us return in the port forwarding menu in our D-LINK Dir-320Nru (see Fig. 30), click the Add button to create a new rule (see Fig. 32):

Since our redirect rule does not fall under any template, then we leave the Custom option.
Next, in the Name field, specify the name of our first ruler of the redirection (come up with your own way).
The interface option will be left in the WAN position.
In the Protocol field, exhibit the TCP / UDP version, since the DC client uses both types of traffic. In all strokes with ports, we point out the same value - 11111, which corresponds to the value of ports in our DC client. Here we will explain a little - the router according to this rule throws the TCP and UDP traffic from the external port to the inner. The options of the router allow several ports in one rule at once (for example, from 11111 to 11115), but in our case it is not required, so the initial and final port in our example coincide.
In the Internal IP field, you must specify the value of the internal IP address of the computer in your local network to which the router needs to forward traffic. You can find out the internal IP address in the local network connection status on this computer (see Fig. 6). Its value must accurately coincide with the value in the rules for forwarding the ports of our router.
Next, click on changing, after which the router retains the rule in its memory.
Now consider in D-Link DIR-320 / NRU forwarding ports for UTorrent. Open the UTorrent settings on the compound parameters and give them to the following form (see Fig. 33):

In the current article, we give a detailed instruction for setting up the D-Link DIR-620 router. This router model has all the necessary functionality for distributing the Internet as a "wired" method and via Wi-Fi wireless network. In addition to the standard Ethernet connectors, the router is equipped with a USB port for connecting a USB modem that provides a connection to WiMAX and 3G GSM networks.

Connect router

So, proceed to install and configure the router. Do it will be in step by step:

First of all, connect your computer and the Ethernet cable router, which is supplied. One end of the wire is stuck in the PC network card connector, the other in one of the four LAN ports on the rear panel (ports are highlighted in blue).
Next, connect to the "Internet" cable from the Internet provider or ADSL modem to the connector with the Internet provider. Also, the router provides for the ability to connect to the network via USB modems of WiMAX formats, 3G GSM or CDMA. If you plan to use this way of connecting to the Internet, insert the modem into the USB port on the front panel of the router.
Now, it's time to connect the router to the power supply, for which you stick the adapter plug into a special 5V / 2.5A socket on the rear panel, and the plug is in the outlet.

LAN Configuration in Windows 7/10

In Western Windows open Control Panel - Network Management Center and Common Access. Next, we click on the "Changing Adapter Settings" link. All your network connections will be displayed here. If you used the Internet only on one computer and the provider cable was connected directly to it, then the list will necessarily have a high-speed connection. Now it is not necessary, since the router will now connect to the Internet. It remains to be configured to configure the "LAN connection".

I click on the right mouse button on the corresponding icon and select the "Properties" item in the opened menu. Then go to the Internet protocol settings version 4.

On the General tab, we establish radio players to the "Get IP Address automatically" and "Get the DNS server address automatically". We save changes.

Now we can connect to the router and make the desired settings.

How to go to the control panel D-Link DIR-620

To perform the basic setting, go to the router Web interface, or you can still call the administration panel. To do this, in any browser, drive the address in the address bar 192.168.0.1 After that, a window must appear with the request to enter the username and password. Default data - admin. and admin..

If someone used the router to you, then, most likely, the username and password have been changed. It is necessary to learn them from the previous owner or will have to reset the settings to the factory values. We assume that data for authentication are known to you, so we go further.

Connecting Internet Connection (WAN)

D-LINK DIR-620 router configuration sequence for version with firmware 2.5.11. If your interface is a little different, there is nothing terrible in it, since the principles of configuration remain the same.

So, immediately proceed to the main thing - installing the parameters of the Internet connection. Go to the section Network - WAN. On the right click the "Add" button and set the connection settings. All necessary parameters you need to provide a communication operator. If you do not have data, then try to find them through your personal account or call the technical support provider.

We will look at the configuration task on the type of connection type PPPoe (Rostelecom, MegaFon, Dom.ru, Evo). Choose it in the first drop-down list. Next, enter the name of the connection, but just below the username and password. If the Internet service provider uses binding to the MAC address, then it must be specified in the "Mac" field of the Ethernet section. By clicking the "Clone" button, you can automatically record the MAC address of the computer from which the connection to the router is connected. Located next to the MTU parameter determines the maximum size of the transmitted packet. Install it equal to 1500, as in the screenshot below.

At the very bottom of the settings page there are a group of different parameters. If you do not know what they are used for, check the checkboxes only next to the "NAT" and "Network Screen" items.

This configuration of the PPPOE connection is complete. Keep the configuration by pressing the corresponding button. We are convinced that a new WAN connection appeared with the status "connected". The green light indicator will indicate that the Internet setup in the D-Link DIR-620 router interface is made correctly.

By analogy with PPPOE, configuration and other types of connections are performed, there is only a list of entered parameters. Below are possible WAN connections schemes:

Static IP - You must fill in the fields IP address, network mask, IP address of the gateway, primary DNS server and secondary DNS server;
Dynamic IP - in some cases requires the task of DNS servers or identifier;
PPTP and L2TP - require user name, password and VPN server addresses.

Setting 3G.

Separately, focus on setting up the distribution of the Internet using a USB modem. Connect it to the port on the front panel of the router. Then, if a PIN-code check is provided for the SIM card, enter it on the page 3G / LTE-modem - Pin.

Now go to the Web panel to the already familiar tab Network - WAN. In the list of available connectivity types, select "3G", after which the list of providers is found in the list of providers, for example, MTS. All settings will be written automatically. We save changes.

We return to the WAN Connection List and check the connection status. Everything should work.

Wi-Fi Setup

You can configure the wireless network in the section Wi-Fi - Basic Settings. Set the parameters: SSID (Network Name), location, channel, operation mode and maximum number of customers. If you need to "hide" the network, check the box next to the "Hide Access Point" item.

To protect your wireless LAN from foreign users, go along the way Wi-Fi - Security Settings. In the "Network Authentication" list (by default it is in the Open position) Select Protection Technology. One of the preferred options - WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK Mixed with access key.

Another way to secure your Wi-Fi network from unwanted guests is to set the list of trusted MAC addresses. Do it in the section Wi-Fi - Mac filter. First, set the restriction mode on the Filter Mode page.

Then in the MAC address window, add the addresses of those devices that are allowed to connect to your wireless network.

Change administrator password

Among the required configuration items, the Wi-Fi router D-Link DIR-620 is replaced by standard data for authorization in the network interface of the network device. Set a new password on the tab System - Administrator Password.

On this basic configuration of the D-LINK DIR-620 router is completed. Extended router settings will devote separate articles.

The manufacturer promised in the new firmware, to fix the situation with poppies, but the truth will be half the decision. The 2.4 GHz will have its own poppy, but guest networks will have the same poppy as the main network in this range, as well as 5GHz will be your poppy, but guests in this range will be the same as the main one. And given the hole in security, the correction of which did not promise nothing, it will be a concert. Well, I ran through the forums, it turns out about the problem with poppies, users have been written for a long time, the year is a whole, and the manufacturer disadvantaged from them, with the words: "So far, this implementation will not change at the moment." But now, already sort of hard and promise the foregoing.
In short, I passed it back ... I tried ASUS RT-AC58U, but there was completely trouble. Now I bought Zyxel Keenetic Giga III, the price of course Konskaya, if he will summarize me, I don't even know what to do ... Maybe you really have to wait for the firmware new on the length, which is unknown when it is, in general, the device is excellent, but the manufacturer's destruction On plenty of users, it simply discourages Maks for every grid for a long time, like all the other competitors and closed this question and even the hole did not find anyone;) I wanted to roll two, but I put the top three, because Here the site employs a person from a length and promptly answers questions, for which he is a low bow.

Here more. I purchased a replacement for the old kinetics, which is not enough that I did not know how to 5 GHz, it also did not have grown with a gigabit lan. And if earlier I put up with it, then with the purchase of NASA I had to update the network.
Inexpensive, easily adjusted, stands on the closet and calmly collects dust. The appearance was not particularly interesting, but if you have it to stand in sight, - once again appreciate its exterior. Pretty controversial.
Comes with an outdated firmware that, when you first connect, I recommend to update. At once - at least because after updating from 2 to 3 revision, all Wang / Lan settings will drop.
I will write again - 5GHz network periodically falls off. It simply disappears and is treated only by a reboot of the device. Someone writes that it is treated by turning off the 2,4GH-network, but I have this poor smart home from Xiaomi and their management gateway, 5 GHz surveillance cameras do not know. Behind the window went 2018.
If you are still guessing - what to take, kinetik for two prices of this length or (prosthethospadi) of some kind of asus, take long. Asus can buy from me, ATS-53, for example. More buggy go * I have not seen for a long time.

Comment

I bought after the previous Zukel Kinetik, worked for 4 years, began to work not stable, the connection was rebooted and the Waifa coverage zone was 1 room (did not even beat through the wall), the signal power drops strongly for some reason, changes and signal strengthening helped.

This particularly chosen price / quality ratio. Zukelevsky analogue is more expensive per 800 rubles. Worked for only 2 days, until everything is stable. It is in the room a brick house, a signal in the next room for 1 gypsum 7 centimeter wall - 5 sticks, in the kitchen through two walls already 4 sticks, I consider it a good result even very much, while the signal power set 75%.

If you decide to purchase a wireless router, and stopped on the D-Link brand, then this article will help you decide on the choice. In this article, I will review the popular and not very expensive wireless router D-Link model DIR-620.

Let's start with the fact that D-Link is one of the most famous companies of developers of telecommunication equipment for home and office use with a history of more than 25 years. The company is actively working in Russia since 1999, which undoubtedly suggests that these developers have an idea about the needs of Russian users.

This router model is a wireless and wired network at home and in the office. You can create a wired network by connecting no more than four computers, or devices via the Ethernet channel.

The main feature of the DIR-620 router is that it is equipped with two non-removable dipole antennas with SMA connector, which allows it to be used at maximum speed in 300Mbps per second. Also, with the help of a competent user interface, you can configure the router on the reception and on the transmission at the same time, that is, a single antenna receive any public network Wi-Fi, and another to distribute inside the Internet, be it via a wired or wireless system.

Since the router is equipped with a USB port, you can connect a wireless 3G / 4G modem to the distribution of traffic in a wired or wireless network. This is extremely necessary if your provider suddenly refuses to provide services, or you are in the zone of inappropriateness of some wired provider. Also, USB port can be used to connect USB flash drive any volume. On this basis, you can create a small but reliable FTP server, HTTP server, placing your site with a database, torrent server that can distribute files even with a computer turned off. You can even connect an external USB hard disk and thereby get a full mini server at home.

The DIR-620 router is equipped with a good network screen, which at the physical level protects the network from malicious attacks. The user interface allows you to configure your network protection in the following ways: Filter MAC addresses, filter IP addresses, customize parental control, that is, to prohibit access to specific addresses in a particular network. Also, on the physical level, you can set the protection supporting WEP encryption standards (128/152-bit), WPA and WPA2. This will protect the network from unauthorized access of neighbors or attackers.
