Ports - 1 WAN and 4 LAN. The first type of WAN port is used to connect to global network(wide area network) - in our case, this port is used to connect the cable incoming from the provider. Connect the cable that goes into the apartment to it. LAN - used to connect computers located in your apartment. Connect computers that need to access the Internet to them using regular network cables (patch cords). The router dir 320 has a built-in administrative interface for configuration, simply put - a special web page, by going to which you can configure the router. To do this, you need to use any computer connected to the LAN port on the router.

The default parameters of a new router in DIR models are usually indicated on a special sticker at the bottom of the case - usually IP - 192.168.0.1, login - admin, password - empty field, but there may be other values. Check these parameters on the sticker or in the user manual. If your router is not new and has already been used by someone, find in the instructions a paragraph on the procedure for resetting parameters to factory settings; usually for this you use a special recessed “reset” button on the back of the case, which you need to press with something sharp and hold for several seconds .

Please note that after connecting to the network, the new router automatically assigns a set to all computers connected to the LAN ports network settings, so make sure that no IP addresses are specified in the network card settings, all values ​​should be set to “obtain automatically”.

Setting up a computer to connect to the DIR-320 router

  1. We connect the DIR-320 router to a power outlet.
  2. We connect the computer’s network card to the router with a wire, connect to any free port LAN1-LAN4.

In this guide we will look at detailed setup D-Link router DIR-320/NRU (rev. B1), which, compared to the DIR-320 at the end of 2011, changed the web interface and added support for Wi-Fi standard 802.11n. The improvements did not end there, now Dlink-Dir 320 has learned to work with 3G modems right out of the box without any re-flashing...

In this guide, we will look at the detailed setup of the D-Link DIR-320/NRU router (rev. B1), which, compared to the DIR-320 at the end of 2011, changed its web interface and added support for Wi-Fi standard 802.11n. The improvements did not end there; now Dlink-Dir 320 has learned to work with 3G modems right out of the box without any re-flashing.
It should be noted that at the end of 2011, D-Link updated the web interface in all its other routers for home and small office. Instead of black and orange (see Fig. 1), web interface D-Link's has become poorer in color terms: now the menu items are aquamarine, and the background is regular white (see Fig. 2).

Rice. 1 Previous web interface of “Delinkov”

How to set up a D-Link router with previous firmware(in orange tones), you can look at.

Rice. 2 New web interface

The color on the box of D-Link routers has also changed; now the box has also become white with sea green on the sides, as well as black on the top and bottom (see Fig. 3):

In these instructions for setting up the DIR-320/NRU, we will look in detail at how to configure this router in DHCP mode, as well as in PPTP (VPN) client mode. Our manual for setting up the D-Link Dir-320 NRU router can be used for other models from the Dlink line that 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 “Long” models that we might not have mentioned.
Well... Let's assume that you have in your hands one of the D-Links with a new web interface, you took it out of the cardboard box along with the power adapter and network cable. On the front side of the router you will find LED indicators, which during operation speak about the “behavior” of the router in this moment time (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 labeled LAN are needed for connecting internal cables from home PCs, and the lone connector labeled INTERNET is used to connect network cable from the Internet provider (this interface in routers is usually called WAN). To the right of the WAN interface there is a USB connector for connecting a 3G modem from the provider wireless internet, and then there is a power connector and a RESET button recessed into the case to reset the router settings if necessary.
You can connect up to 4 PCs or laptops to the 4 LAN ports of the DIR-320 via a network cable. By the way, one of these blue cables (a regular patch cord) is already included with the router, so you can use it to perform the setup. If you need to connect more than 4 PCs to the router via cable, then you can solve the lack of port capacity using an unmanaged network switch (switch), which you connect to one of the LAN ports of the router. As a result, from one port you will get several more (depending on the capacity of the switch you buy).
We have reviewed the basic information regarding the capabilities of our router, now we can move on to setting it up. But first we need to connect the router to a computer or laptop, after which we will have 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 need to complete a number of preparatory steps - find an agreement from your Internet provider (you may need information about IP parameters and connection information with the provider from there); Next, use a blue network cable to connect any LAN interface of the router to the network card on the PC or laptop from which you will perform the setup, and connect the power adapter to your router. As for the cable from the provider, it must be connected to the INTERNET (WAN) interface. If the Internet at your home is provided using ADSL or DOXIS technology, then you should connect the network cable coming from the modem to the WAN connector of the router.
Now you should switch the TCP/IP settings on your PC to DHCP client mode (automatically obtaining IP addresses). Below we will look at how to do this using Windows XP and Windows 7 as examples.
Connecting the D-Link DIR-320/NRU router in Windows XP:
Start - Control Panel - Network Connections - Local Area Connection - Properties - Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) - then see Fig. 4

Connecting the D-Link DIR-320/NRU router in Windows 7:
Start - type View network - select at the top in the search results - View network connections - Local area connection - Properties - Internet Protocol version 4 - then see fig. 5

By default, all D-Links issue IP addresses from the range 192.168.0.1/24 to the internal network. Therefore, after 10-20 seconds, your PC or laptop should itself receive an IP address from the router. It will look something like 192.168.0.101 or 192.168.0.102. In Windows XP, you can track the receipt of an IP address from the router by opening the Local Area Connections status. (see Fig. 6)

The inscription that the network card is assigned DHCP means that the router has successfully issued an internal IP address to the computer via the LAN interface. If this does not happen or an IP address appears like 169.***.***.***, then problems with the operation of the DHCP client on your computer are possible. Most often this can be caused by the operation of firewalls (firewalls), but there are other reasons... In this case, we can advise you to enter 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
. Default gateway - 192.168.0.1
. DNS - 192.168.0.1
We will assume that you have connected the router to system unit computer. Let's proceed directly to setting up our router.

Setting up the D-Link DIR-320/NRU router (hardware rev. B1)
We will configure the D-Link DIR-320 via the web interface. To do this, you need to use any computer browser (Opera, Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Chrome) in the address bar go to: http://192.168.0.1 (usually all D-Links have this address by default). You will see the router's welcome message on your computer screen (see Figure 7)

To log into the D-Link web interface, you will need to enter your username and password, and then click on Login. Default Username is admin, Password is admin. After entering your credentials, you will see a pop-up message from the router (see Fig. 8)

This message forces the DIR-320 to change the default password, which will be used to log into the router in the future. All you have to do is click OK and set a new password in the next window (see Fig. 9)

Here you need to enter a new Password and its Confirmation, after which all that remains is to click on the Save button. Next, the router will prompt you to log in again, but with a new password (see Fig. 10). Well, there is nothing left to do but enter your credentials again...

Enter your Username and Password, then click on Login. Next you will be taken to the main menu of the D-Link DIR-320 (B1) router, where you will see Device Information (see Fig. 11)

This is what the new web interface of D-Link looks like. The author of this manual did not particularly like the interface in terms of appearance and ease of use, but there are more functional capabilities in the new firmware. Important: now, to save the configuration after any change in settings (!), you must click the Save button in the upper right corner each time.

Firmware update for D-Link DIR-320/NRU router
Now we recommend making sure that the latest firmware version is installed in the Dir-320/NRU router! For inexperienced users, let us explain: firmware is the internal software of the router. New firmware versions usually fix errors and sometimes add additional functionality. 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 whether there are any firmware updates available on the manufacturer’s website. To do this, follow the link above to go to ftp server manufacturer and look at firmware updates for DIR-320/NRU (see Fig. 12). We see on the site only one file with the same version that is already installed in our router (judging by the file name). This means that there are no firmware updates available at this time. But we will still download it to our computer and transfer it to the PC from which we are setting up our router to show how you can update the software of your router within the framework of this guide.

In the absence of new versions, in this particular case we will install the same version to show the essence of the flashing process. You will install a newer version for yourself as soon as it appears on the manufacturer’s website. We recommend visiting Dlinka's ftp server once every 3 months and checking for updates!
So, let's move on to the procedure for updating the firmware in the D-Link router. This can be done in section System - Software Update (see Fig. 13)

You need to tell the router where the firmware file is located. To do this, click on the Select file button and in Windows Explorer get to the file with the firmware for DIR-320/NRU, click on the Open button, and then on Update.
After this, the router will begin updating its firmware; at this moment you just have to wait for the process to complete.
Attention!!! During the next 3 minutes, do not turn off the power under any circumstances. wireless router and do not interrupt the flashing process with any other actions!
In the process of updating software You will see an operation progress indicator on the screen (see Fig. 14)

After some time, the router will upload new firmware into its depths, reboot and offer to re-authorize (see Fig. 10). Please note that after flashing the router, it will reset all its previous settings. Enter your login and password (admin and admin), then click on Login again. The router will again ask you to change the default password, but we have already gone through all this in Fig. 8-10.
If everything happened as described above, then you can accept our congratulations - you have successfully updated the firmware of your D-Link DIR-320/NRU! If the router did not display the authorization window, and repeated attempts to access 192.168.0.1 5 minutes after the start of the firmware update did not bring success, then an emergency most likely happened to the router. Restart it through a power interruption and if there is no response, contact service center manufacturer!
Now it’s time to make sure that the router is updated with the firmware that we uploaded to it. This information will be indicated in the main menu of the D-Link DIR-320/NRU (see Fig. 15)

Here we see that version 1.2.94 is installed with a build time of August 3, 2011. Before this, we had the build dated May 13, 2011 (see Fig. 11). The firmware update is complete, now let's move on to the actual setup of our D-Link DIR-320/NRU.

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

As we already warned above, in this guide we will show how to configure the D-Link DIR-320 NRU router using the DHCP and PPTP VPN protocols. If you have access to the Internet using a different protocol, then you will need to contact technical support for clarification on the setup.

First, we will configure the DIR-320 NRU in DHCP mode
To do this, you need to click on the line of the WAN interface (Fig. 16), then a window of its detailed settings will open in front of you called Network / Connections (see Fig. 17)

In DHCP mode (automatically obtaining IP parameters from the provider), no special difficulties should arise with setting up the D-Link DIR-320/NRU. To do this, in the Connection type field, you must leave the option in the IPoE position.
In the MAC field you can enter your value for the physical address of the router (via the WAN interface). This can be very useful when the provider has implemented the binding of the MAC address to the IP address of clients on the network. Since every network device has its own unique MAC address, this option allows you to avoid calls to the provider when replacing network equipment connected via the last mile (for example, equipment is being replaced from a network card to a router). You can set a MAC address in the router that is identical to the MAC address of your computer on which you were working before installing the router. If you want to use a router with a “non-native” MAC address in the provider’s network, then fill out this option. If you want to register the MAC address of the router, you will have to call your provider and tell him the MAC address, which can be found on the bottom of the router (six pairs of alphanumeric letters).
Next, leave the checkboxes on Obtain an IP address automatically and Obtain a DNS server address automatically. This will force the router to automatically pick up settings from the ISP's DHCP server.
We won’t change any more options here; in DHCP mode everything will work as is 😉
All that remains is to click on the Save button.
And then don’t forget to click on the Save button in the next window in Fig. 18 so that after a reboot the router does not “forget” the settings.

Now is the time to check the functionality of the settings. This can be done in Status - Network Statistics (see Fig. 19)

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

Now let's configure the DIR-320 NRU router in PPTP VPN mode
The VPN protocol is often used by residential providers to provide Internet access. Configuring the D-Link DIR-320 NRU router in PPTP mode is performed in the already familiar section Connections (see Fig. 20). To connect via PPTP or L2TP, you need to create here new interface. (Note: first, we still need to configure the router to work via the WAN interface with the ipoe connection type. If your provider does not implement a DHCP scheme on the local network, then you will probably have to first configure the ipoe WAN in Static IP mode).

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

To configure the router to work over a VPN connection, you need to set the Connection type option to PPTP. (Note: if your provider provides access via L2TP, then this protocol is selected in the same menu).
Next, let's look at the remaining necessary options for configuring the DIR-320/NRU in PPTP mode [top-to-bottom]:
wanPPTPSNameType - allows you to specify how to specify the VPN server address: as a domain name or as an IP address. If the provider recommends setting the server address in the form of a domain name, then select the URL option; if in the form of an IP address, then select the IP option. (Tip: look at your contract with your provider and find how it is recommended to indicate the VPN server address there. You can also contact technical support for clarification);
Server address - the VPN server address mentioned above is indicated here. Either as a domain name or as an IP - depending on the wanPPTPSNameType option;
PPP Username - in this option, enter the login for authorization with the VPN server. You can find it in your agreement with your provider.
Password is the password for connecting to the provider’s VPN server (see your contract).
Password confirmation - here you will need to re-enter the password for authentication on the VPN server to avoid typing errors;
Encryption - here you can activate encryption of data transmitted via VPN. Typically, providers do not use VPN tunnel encryption, so we leave the option - No encryption.
Authentication algorithm - here you can select the type of authentication that the provider’s VPN server supports. Behind additional information You can contact technical support. But you can also select the AUTO option, then the router itself will try to select a compatible authentication option.
You don't have to touch any other options in this menu. After clicking the Save button, the tunnel to the provider’s VPN server should be successfully installed.

You can check whether the VPN session is up in the Connections menu (see Fig. 22). In order for traffic to go through the VPN tunnel, be sure to check the Default Gateway label next to the PPTP connection and save the settings using the button in the upper right corner!

The inscription that the PPTP type is in the Connected state indicates successful actions on your part. If the Connected inscription does not appear, then somewhere in the previous stages a mistake was made...

Configuring routing for access to local resources
The next step when configuring D-Link routers in PPTP VPN mode is usually filling out the routing table. This procedure is necessary for simultaneous access to local resources of the provider’s network with an established VPN connection. Actually, if you are not very interested in local resources, then you can skip this step. For those who plan to use local services such as FTP or DC++ in the future, they will have to configure routing. You can do this in DIR-320/NRU in the Additional - Routing section (see Fig. 23)

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

Here, in the Destination network field, you should specify the destination area of ​​this route.
In the Destination network mask field, specify the subnet mask for the specific route.
In the Gateway field, you should indicate the address of your local gateway (you can find it out from your contract or you could see it in the state of the local network connection on the computer that was connected to the provider’s cable before installing the router).
You can put one in the Metrics field. This value specifies the priority for this particular routing rule.
In the Through interface field, you can leave the option, then the D-Link DIR-320/NRU router will determine on which interface it is more appropriate to use this route.
To create a rule, all you have to do is click the Save button.
In this simple way, you should enter all the necessary rules into the routing table. As a result, local traffic will go exactly in the directions that you specified in your rules.
You can see in Fig. 25 (just don’t forget that the local gateway address is individual in each case!

After entering all the necessary routes, all that remains is to save the router parameters by clicking the Save button. At this point, the routing setup in the D-Link DIR-320/NRU router can be considered complete.
Setting up a Wi-Fi connection in D-Link DIR-320/NRU
The D-Link DIR-320/NRU router, unlike its predecessor DIR-320, supports a faster Wi-Fi communication standard, which allows you to transfer data over a wireless network at speeds of up to 150 Mbps when using the appropriate Wi-Fi equipment on the client side (an adapter will do!!! D-Link DWA-140!!!). Settings wireless wifi network in the new D-Link's DIR series is made in the section Wi-Fi - General settings (see Fig. 26)

Here you can completely turn off the Wi-Fi module in your router. The router will then change from wireless to wired. Next we will go to the Basic settings item, where you can set the name of the network and select the standard wireless communication(see Fig. 27):

Hide access point - disables the broadcast of the network identifier (SSID), this allows you to hide your network from devices running Windows OS, acting as a security tool. However, in this case you will have to create a profile to connect to the wireless network manually.
SSID - name of the wireless network (network identifier). Under this name the network will be visible in wireless Wi-Fi clients.
Country - all Russians can leave the Russian Federation option.
Channel - forced selection of a channel for wireless communication. We do not recommend dealing with channel number 6, since most Wi-Fi equipment operates on this channel by default (few users change it). Ideally, we recommend choosing channel 1 or channel 12 to minimize the likelihood of interference with neighboring networks.
Wireless Mode - Here you can select 802.11g or 802.11n wireless mode, or maybe even the legacy 802.11b or a combination of both. In mixed operating mode (802.11 B/G/N mixed), keep in mind that the overall network speed when connecting diverse clients will drop to the level of the slowest client.
Just below you can set the Maximum number of clients that will connect to the router.
Next, you just have to click on Change and you can proceed to setting up encryption on the network.
Wireless network encryption is configured in Security Settings (see Figure 28)

In the Network Authentication option, you can select an encryption algorithm for the wireless network. We recommend choosing the most universal version WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK mixed - this will provide support for most modern Wi-Fi equipment.
In the PSK encryption key field, you set the password for your wireless Wi-Fi network. We recommend using a password here that is 8 to 10 characters long, consisting of uppercase and lowercase letters, special characters and numbers. This minimizes the likelihood of password guessing by attackers.
In the WPA encryption option, you can select the algorithm for WPA encryption. TKIP is a less secure option than AES, but some wireless clients may not work with AES. We recommend setting the TKIP+AES option, then you will ensure compatibility with most Wi-Fi clients.
The WPA key renewal period can be left as default.
Next, all you have to do is click on the Change button.
I would like to say a few more words about one more option in Additional settings wireless network (see Figure 29)

Here the TX power option is responsible for the radiation of the wireless antenna. You can experimentally lower it to a level where it will be enough to cover an apartment/room, and the network will not look much outside the apartment. This will reduce the likelihood of your wireless network being hacked by your hacker neighbors :) And it will have a positive effect on your health, especially if you quit smoking 😉
At this point, setting up a wireless Wi-Fi network in the D-Link DIR-320/NRU can be considered complete. To use Wi-Fi at home, the manipulations discussed above will be sufficient for you.
Now you can turn on your laptop and connect it to the Wi-Fi network.

Port forwarding 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 home network programs and devices that require unsolicited access to them from the provider’s local network or the external Internet. For example, this may be required when accessing a home IP VEB camera or when working with file-sharing services such as torrent or DC++. The principle of port forwarding is as follows: You independently tell the DIR-320/NRU router what type of unsolicited traffic from outside the router should be forwarded to a specific IP address of the home network.
Let's look at port forwarding in the D-Link DIR-320 NRU for DC and Utorrent:
You can configure Port Forwarding in a D-Link router in Firewall - Virtual servers(see Fig. 30). New rules are created after clicking the Add button.

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

Let's look below at how to forward 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 port forwarding. To share files within the provider’s network, in the External / WAN IP field, enter the intranet IP address that is issued to you by the provider under the contract. If you intend to work with DC++ on the external Internet, then in the External / WAN IP field you will need to enter your dedicated / external IP address (for more detailed information contact your provider).
In the Ports: TCP and UDP field you need to enter the values ​​of the ports for which you plan further work your client DC. We recommend that you select port values ​​that are easy to remember, but that are not occupied by the system.
Then we will return to the port forwarding menu in our D-Link DIR-320nru (see Fig. 30), click on the Add button to create a new rule (see Fig. 32):

Since our redirect rule does not fall under any template, we leave the Custom option.
Next, in the Name field, we indicate the name of our first forwarding rule (invent it as you wish).
Leave the Interface option in the WAN position.
In the Protocol field, set the TCP/UDP option, since the DC client uses both types of traffic. In all lines with ports we will indicate the same value - 11111, which corresponds to the value of the ports in our DC client. Let’s explain a little here - according to this rule, the router transfers TCP and UDP traffic from the external port to the internal one. The router’s capabilities allow you to forward several ports at once in one rule (for example, from 11111 to 11115), but in our case this is not required, so the start and end ports in our example are the same.
In the Internal IP field, you must specify the value of the internal IP address of the computer on your local network to which the router needs to redirect traffic. You can find out the internal IP address in the local network connection state on this computer (see Fig. 6). Its value must exactly match the value in our router's port forwarding rule.
Next, click on Edit, after which the router saves the rule in its memory.
Now let's look at port forwarding for Utorrent in the D-Link DIR-320/NRU. Let's open the Utorrent settings for connection parameters and put them in the following form (see Fig. 33):

Before we start setting up the router, let's check the local network connection settings. For this:
