D link for it is needed. Ports and installation of a Wi-Fi router - where to connect what

The D-link router is a legend of modern electronics of our time. More and more people cannot imagine their life without the Internet. He accompanies us everywhere, in cafes, transport, train stations, and anywhere. Mobile Internet and, of course, the Internet through a WI-FI router.

Wi-fi router - specialized network computer, which has two or more network interfaces and forwards data packets between different network segments.

Modern features of the Internet

Until quite recently, we could not even imagine that in order to use the Internet? wires are completely unnecessary. Remember how the Internet was connected through the phone and either one or the other worked. About a process like wifi setup, there was no speech at all. But progress does not stand still, computer geniuses invent more and more new gadgets, and now the time has come for wireless Internet. Now you just need to install a router at home and you can use the network at any end of the apartment. Naturally, do not forget about the password, otherwise not only you, but also your neighbors will use it. Could we even dream of something like this 10-15 years ago? Of course not, then it seemed like something fantastic, but now, please. The World Wide Web Spread literally in all corners of the globe. But at the same time, not everyone can correctly configure the router, for example, D-link.

Standard router IP address 192.168.1.1

Now the only problem is the choice of the router. There are a lot of them on the market now. It's easy to get lost in this variety. It is better to choose a gadget that will provide sufficient security for your network, and most importantly, will not slow down when several devices connect to it. Here another equally important and difficult problem for many arises - connecting D-link routers. In order for everything to go well, you need not only to purchase the treasured box, but also to know the address of the router. Very often, even those who consider themselves an advanced Internet user and may have already tried to configure routers and surf the Internet face this problem. After all, it is for this that we mainly use a router, we need to connect to the network from several devices at once and not offend any of the users. In this respect this device is a great option.

How to configure the router?

On the way to wireless Internet, connecting and setting up a D-link router will not be a difficult test for you, but a pleasant, affordable and easy procedure. If you have at least a little knowledge of computers and are able to clearly follow the instructions, you will succeed even without the involvement of a specialist. Let's start with how to connect a D-link router. Everything is extremely simple. Included with the gadget itself is Charger, a wire for connecting to a computer, if you use a stationary one, setup instructions. So, if you are a happy owner of a stationary PC, you need to connect the wire that the Internet provider brought to your apartment to the socket labeled internet. The second wire must be inserted into connector No. 2 at one end, and the other into the corresponding socket system block. In the one in which you previously inserted the Internet wire. Further configuration of the D-link router will not make it difficult for you.

Then plug in the charger. There is also a corresponding connector on the router panel for it.

Now the router needs to be turned on. You can easily find the power button on the panel. After pressing it, the lights will flash, you need to wait a bit until they begin to burn evenly. If you have a laptop or netbook (there is no fundamental difference here), you will not need a second wire. It will be necessary to do only the first paragraph of the previous instruction.

Memory connector, power button, lan connectors, USB connectors, DSL connector.

Now that everything is turned on, the second stage comes - setting up the D-link router. Here, too, everything is extremely simple. As soon as the router has started, we open the instructions and see that the address is indicated there, which you need to go to for automatic configuration. Enter the address in the browser line and open the site with automatic tuning. Let's launch it. Now you are the proud owner home WI-FI/ Of course, some difficulties may arise, but the instructions also contain detailed advice on manual setting. Here you have to try a little more, you will need the data of your provider. Usually they are spelled out in the contract. But if there is no data that you need to fill in the appropriate fields, you can always call the phone number specified in your contract and find out everything.

How to solve emerging problems?

In addition, the number is written in the instructions technical support, which you can call, and they will explain in detail what and how exactly you need to do. So, we figured out not only how to connect, but also how to set up a D-link router. Specifications router is multifunctional. It not only connects several devices to one communication channel, but also has a number of other functions. The first of these is the NAT function. It's probably no secret to you that every computer has a specific IP address. On the this moment Permanent Address rarely used, mostly it changes at some intervals for your safety.

The web interface is a tool for configuring routers.

At the moment when you connect the router, it converts your IP address and sends this changed one to the network. So your stays in complete security, but only the external one is used, which cannot be used by scammers to harm you. The web interface is next function. You will be surprised, but we have already talked about this. Then, when you entered the address into the browser line, you just used this function. To put it simply, it's just the ability to manage all
router capabilities through your browser. It is very convenient. The third feature we'll talk about is MDI/MDIX. We also touched on this a bit. The router uses 2 types of cables. And the gadget itself determines exactly how to work when connecting each of them. Well, the functions that are still worth mentioning are WAN and LAN. The first one is front end, which is used by the ISP itself, and the second is the port used by the connecting computer or any other device.

Using a router

Thus, it was considered how to connect and how to configure a D-link router. It might be worth a little touch on how to use it. The router should not be unplugged every time you leave home. It does not consume much electricity, and when you turn off the settings may go astray and it may be necessary to restore them. But if you yourself want to reset the settings, there is a small signed hole on the panel, inside of which there is a button. You can click on it using, for example, a toothpick. The autoconfiguration site will then become available again.

If you did everything correctly, on all devices with turning on WI-FI the name of your router will appear.

You will need to enter a password that protects your network from those who want to use free internet. It is located on a sticker on the bottom of the device. Enter it in the field and that's it, you can use it. What sites you visit and what kind of information you download, other Internet users will not be able to know. There is no need to worry about this. In addition, you should not worry that the speed will decrease if 2 or 3 more devices are connected with you at the same time. Just ask the seller this question. Typically, these routers are more expensive. The most acceptable price category is from 2 to 4 thousand rubles. It should be noted that the configuration of the D-link router can be carried out in the same way for all models.

WI-FI router in modern life something really necessary. It will allow you and your loved ones not to argue about who will be the first to take a seat at the computer, but will give everyone the opportunity to do what they like. You can watch a movie while your child is studying, and your husband, for example, will use the Internet for work. At the same time, the router will maintain the speed declared by the provider and protect you from the actions of numerous Internet scammers. A convenient web-interface will make the use of the gadget as accessible as possible for users with different levels of PC proficiency.

Login to settings personal account D-Link router is easiest to do at 192.168.0.1. It just needs to be entered into address bar browser, enter your login and password (usually "admin-admin"), after which the web interface of the admin panel will open. With it, any beginner can easily enter the menu of the step-by-step setup wizard in a few clicks, connect the Internet on the D-Link router and distribute it via wifi. If you remember, this login method from the page http://192.168.0.1 is also used for TP-Link, and it has the same login and password by default. To enter the personal account of the router, I used D-Link DIR-620, but this instruction is also relevant for all other models - D-LINK DIR-300, DIR-615, etc. Let's see together what's going on...

Login to the D-Link router through the web interface of your personal account - login and password

Getting started with a D-Link router is identical with other companies, such as TP-Link, Asus or Zyxel, on whose settings I have already made articles.

Before logging into D-LINK:

  1. connect the router to the outlet
  2. insert a cable from an Internet provider into its WAN port
  3. to the LAN port network cable ethernet
  4. the other end twisted pair insert into the computer.

Next, turn the device over and reverse side we look at the sticker on which the entry address to the D-Link router is written, as well as the data for authorization. Most often it looks like "192.168.0.1", but unlike other companies, it may differ depending on the model.

After that, enter the address http://192.168.0.1 (or another specified) in the browser - to enter the D-Link personal account, use the login and password from the label. Again, in the vast majority of cases, this is "admin-admin". But in some D-Link routers, just an empty field is used as the password value, so look carefully at the sticker.


You will need to change this password later in the process.

The entrance to the settings of the D-Link router does not open - I can’t go to the page 192.168.o.1

Very often my readers get an error that page 192.168.o.1 does not open. Let me explain - the browser does not enter D-LINK settings due to the fact that instead of zero they write the Russian or Latin letter "O". Don't repeat it, it's actually a NUMBER!

To do this, in Windows, go to "Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Control Center and public access> Management network connections> Change adapter settings.

  1. Here, right-click on "Connect via local network(Ethernet)" (if you are connected to the D-Link router via cable) or to "Wireless connection" (if you connect to the router via WiFi)
  2. Go to the "Properties" menu and look for the section "Internet Protocol version 4"
  3. Here we activate 2 checkboxes for obtaining IP addresses and DNS servers in automatic mode.


Now you know how to log in to the D-Link router to get into your personal account settings. Bookmark this page and use this manual for subsequent configuration via the web interface - you will still need it!

Hey! In this article, we will connect the D-link DIR-615 router. I will show using this model as an example, but the instruction is suitable for all D-link routers: DIR-300, DIR-320, etc. Let's consider the process of connecting the router. Connect power, internet, and computer via cable, or wireless wifi networks. I will give links to instructions for entering the router settings and for setting up Wi-Fi, the Internet, etc. Simply put, you can connect and configure it yourself new router d-link.

This is what the D-link DIR-615 router looks like when you just bought it:

You may have a different model, it does not matter. The main thing is that we need to connect everything correctly. If you connect it incorrectly, then it is unlikely that you will be able to configure the router, let alone use it.

We need:

  • Connect power to the router
  • If the indicators do not light up, then turn on the power button on the device
  • Connect your computer, tablet, phone to the router. Available via cable or Wi-Fi
  • Connect internet to D-link router. Cable from ISP or ADSL modem
  • Go to the settings of our router and configure it.

Let's look at everything in more detail.

Connecting a D-link router to a computer and provider

First take the power adapter and connect it to the router. Then, plug it into an outlet. If the router does not turn on, then turn on the power button on the router itself. Further, if you want to connect the router to a computer, or to a laptop via a network cable (it is best to configure it by cable), then take the network cable that comes with the router and connect a laptop or computer with it. We connect one end of the cable to the network connector on the computer, and the second connector to the LAN connector on the router. On D-link routers, LAN connectors are usually black. They are signed LAN. Like this:

You can also connect WiFi networks. Just turn on the router and it will appear new wifi network to which you can connect. You may need to connect your laptop to a wireless network.

If you connected your computer to the router and you see the connection status on the computer: "No Internet access", or "Limited" and the Internet does not work, then this is normal, because we have not even connected the Internet to our D-link and configured it .

We connect the Internet to D-link

Most likely, you just have a cable from the provider in your house, or an ADSL modem. In the first case, we take a cable from an Internet provider, and connect it to the WAN connector of the router. It is on D-link DIR-615 - yellow. If you have Internet via a modem, then we also connect the cable from the modem to the WAN connector on the router.

Most likely, even after connecting the Internet cable, the Internet on the computer (or other device you have connected) won't work. This is because you need to configure the router to work with an Internet provider. I wrote about this in an article:.

You need to go to the router settings, here, and configure it. If you have connected everything correctly, but you cannot enter the settings, then look at the article. The main thing is to choose the right type of connection, and set the necessary parameters that your Internet provider uses. Then the Internet through the router will start working. Also, set wireless network, And .

It is best to configure the router according to detailed instructions. We have one. But, using her example, you can configure other D-link routers. Look, maybe I have already added detailed articles on other models. See section Setting up a router - D-link, or ask in the comments.

Question: What is port forwarding in the router for and how to set it up (DIR-300NRU, DIR-320NRU, DIR-615/K1 - firmware 1.4.x)
Answer:

Port forwarding is a technology that allows you to access from the Internet to a computer on an internal network behind a router using NAT (NAPT). Access is carried out by redirecting traffic of certain ports from the external address of the router to the address of the selected computer on the local network.

Such a redirect is needed if, for example, you use peer-to-peer networks, or want to deploy to local computer server with Internet access. Also, redirection is sometimes required for multiplayer games.

On firmware 1.4.x, the port forwarding function is called "Virtual Servers".

In the window that appears, enter:

Username - admin

Password - admin

Click Login.

The first way is with the setup wizard.

Click "Virtual Server Setup Wizard" in the "Firewall" field

Set the required parameters for your virtual server.

Sample- Select one of the six virtual server templates from the drop-down list, or select Custom to define your own virtual server settings.

Name Enter the name of the virtual server for easy identification. May be arbitrary.

Interface Select the connection to which the created virtual server.

Internal IP Enter the IP address of the server located on the local network. You can select a device that is currently connected to the router's LAN. To do this, select the appropriate IP address from the drop-down list (the field will be filled in automatically).

Remote IP- Enter the IP address of the server located in the external network. If you need to open access for any device in the external network, leave this field blank.

After setting the required values, click the "Save" button. This will take you to the quick settings page.

In the upper right corner, click on the "System" button and then "Save".

This completes the setup.

The second way is manually.

Connect to the web interface of the device and press the button "Advanced settings"

Select "Virtual Servers" under "Firewall".

In the window that opens, click "Add"

In the window that opens, set the required parameters of the virtual server. And click the "Edit" button.

Sample - Select one of the six virtual server templates from the drop-down list, or select Custom to define your own virtual server settings.

Name - The name of the virtual server for easy identification. May be arbitrary.

Interface - The connection to which the created virtual server will be bound.

Protocol - The protocol that the created virtual server will use. Select the required value from the drop-down list.

External port (start)/ External port (end)- Router port from which traffic will be forwarded to the IP address specified in the Internal IP field. Set the start and end values ​​for the port range. If you need to specify only one port, specify it in the External port (start) field and do not fill in the External port (end) field.

Internal port (start)/ Internal port (end) - Port of the IP address specified in the Internal IP field to which traffic from the router port specified in the External port field will be forwarded. Set the start and end values ​​for the port range. If you need to specify only one port, specify it in the Internal port (start) field and do not fill in the Internal port (end) field.

Internal IP - The IP address of the server located on the local network. You can select a device that is currently connected to the router's LAN. To do this, select the appropriate IP address from the drop-down list (the field will be filled in automatically).

Remote IP- IP address of the server located in the external network (in most cases, this field should be left blank).

To set other options for an existing server, select the appropriate server in the table. On the page that opens, change the required parameters and click the "Change" button.

To delete an existing server, select the corresponding server in the table. On the page that opens, click the "Delete" button. In the upper right corner, click on the "System" button and then "Save".

For full-fledged work on the Internet from a smartphone or tablet without wireless connection can't get by. A device called a router (or a router, as it is also popularly called) will help you organize a Wi-Fi connection. If 4-5 years ago to the minimum price category included devices of the N150 line, in which maximum speed data transfer rate was 150 Mbps. Today, these devices are almost never found on the market, and they have been completely replaced by devices with a channel width of 300 Mbps. In addition to the fact that the data transfer speed when connecting such a device will be twice as high, it will also cover a large area and will fully satisfy the requirements of the most demanding users. For office work, such a device is unlikely to be useful, but for an apartment, such speed and signal coverage are just right. Today we will talk about how D-link and ASUS router setup, and how to set up a Wi-Fi connection in them.

Preparing for setup

Before you start connecting, you need to find out what type of connection your ISP is using. It can be static IP, dynamic IP, PPPoE, PPTP or L2TP. To determine this information, contact your provider and ask the consultant what type of connection to specify in the settings.

It can also be found in the settings. network adapter used to connect.

We right-click on the network icon in the taskbar and select the "Network and Sharing Center" option from the pop-up context menu.

In the network properties window, select the "IP version 4" item and click the "Properties" button.

The window that opens will display all the network parameters that will need to be specified when we configure the router. Write them down on paper so you don't forget.

Sometimes all this information is indicated in the contract, so you should also familiarize yourself with it.

Configuring a D-Link Router

Routers trademark D-Link has long been popular with the public. Setting up such a router is as easy as shelling pears, without even having any special knowledge.

The first thing to do is plug the device into a power outlet. Next, connect the cable from the Internet provider to the WAN port located on the back of the device. Usually it is highlighted in a different color on the panel and stands apart from regular LAN ports.

Now take a look at the underside of the router (or in the technical documentation (comes with the router)). Along with many others technical parameters, here you can also see the IP address (the most popular IPs: 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.1.1), by which it is possible to access the web interface to manage the device.

Also, in the settings of the network adapter used to connect, the value "Automatic" for the IP address and DNS server must be set.

In new models of D-Link routers, to connect to the web interface, you must explicitly specify a specific IP address here, so first refer to the technical manual of the device.

The first time you connect to the device, you will be asked to enter the password twice to connect to the web interface. The login and password used by default are also indicated on the bottom of the device.

Finally, enter the IP address displayed on the bottom panel into the address bar of any browser and go to the settings menu.

If you have never configured a router before, a detailed wizard is at your service that allows you to go through all the configuration steps sequentially, one by one.

On the Home tab, select the “Click’n’Connect” item and proceed to the setup procedure itself.

The first thing we see in the wizard is a warning that you need to connect the main cable to the WAN port so that the device recognizes it and the setup procedure continues successfully.

If the cable is not connected, or the device is faulty (which is also quite possible - factory defects are far from uncommon today), by pressing the Next button a warning will appear informing you that the setup will continue, but there is currently no connection to the provider.

If you connected everything correctly, and your router is working, the following form with settings will open in front of you.

Here you need to specify the type of connection used by your provider. Select the type we need and click "Next".

The next form is one of the most important. It specifies all connection parameters. Depending on the type of connection chosen in the last iteration, here you can enter the main IP address, netmask, gateway, basic and secondary DNS server.

If some of the parameters you need are not available, click the Expert button, which allows you to make detailed advanced settings.

On the advanced settings form, you can specify data that is not available in the reduced version.

We leave all other options as they are, and proceed to the final form.

Here we check the correctness of the entered data, and if there were no errors during the input, click the “Apply” button.

If the connection is successful and correct, then you will see a corresponding message and a form with checking the connection of the main Ethernet cable, connection status and connection with the test web resource (in this case, the search engine).

The next form will prompt us to activate the Yandex.DNS service. What are its benefits? Yandex.DNS provides three-level protection against viruses, trojans, and worms, and also provides parental control in order to prevent opening of sites of the category 18+ by children. This option is optional. Make a choice and click "Next".

Finally, it's time to set up Wi-Fi. On the form that appears, select the option “Access point” (access point).

Next, we are prompted to enter the SSID. What it is? Essentially, the SSID is the name of the network that will appear in the list of available networks when connected. Enter any memorable value and move on.

Next, select wifi type networks: open or closed. An open network available to all clients without exception within the coverage radius of the connection. To connect to a private network, you will need to enter a password. It is advisable to choose the second option, and in the field below enter the password itself used to connect.

The following form is descriptive, and only brings together all the Wi-Fi settings you have set. Click "Apply".

If everything went well, you will see a message about the creation WiFi connections from given name and password. We click “Continue”.

After that follows. If you are using this service on a TV, connect the Ethernet cable from the TV to one of the free LAN ports and click “Next”.

Finally, the last form serves to confirm all changes made. We agree and click the “Apply” button.

If the network has been created and you are successfully connecting to it, congratulations, you have successfully configured the router. If you can't connect, the wizard may be using an unusual type of Wi-Fi security. To fix this problem, go to the Wi-Fi section, the "Security settings" tab and set the "Network authentication" parameter to "WPA2-PSK".

After that, the connection will most likely be successful.

It is important to note that all the same steps can be done manually, without a wizard. We leave this option for your consideration.

If you did something wrong, and it is not possible to access the settings again, reset the settings by holding the Reset button located on the back or bottom wall of the router with a ballpoint pen or knitting needle (or something else?). Keep it pressed for 15-20 seconds. After that, all settings will be deleted, and you can start over.

ASUS router setup

In the routers of the company from Taipei, the setup procedure is very similar, the differences are only in the wizard interface. We look at the bottom side of the device and remember the IP address used to enter the web interface.

After inserting the main cable and the cable connected to the computer into the WAN and LAN ports, respectively, launch any browser and go to the device management menu through the IP address found earlier on the router case.

When you first enter the interface of a new device, we will have to come up with a password for authentication. Next, simply enter your username and password to log in.

We launch the wizard to configure the network by clicking the " Quick Setup Internet".

Also, as in the previously described procedure, select the type of connection used by your provider.

On the next form, set the connection parameters: main and secondary DNS server, gateway, netmask, IP address. This window is the most important, because it is here that the basic connection parameters are set.

Final phase - WiFi setup . Specify the network name (SSID) and password for it (key) and click the "Apply" button.

If everything went well, you will see a window with the accumulated connection data. Activate the Yandex.DNS service at will if you really need it, but when using it, some resources will be unavailable. We click "Finish", and you can travel through the expanses of the World Wide Web.

If there is still no connection, although you are sure that you did everything correctly, restart the device by clicking the "Reboot" button. Everything must work.

Results

That's all we have. Other router models (TP-Link, Netis, TOTOLINK) are configured in the same way. The algorithm is completely similar to the configuration of D-Link and ASUS routers, the only difference is in the graphical web shell. The procedure is very clear and completely transparent. After reviewing our instructions, you will be able to figure out the settings yourself, keeping a fair share of the budget intact.
