Routers d link dir 320 wi fi setup. Creating a Wireless Network

At home or in a small office. Moreover, with its help you can implement both wireless connection of devices and using twisted pair. In the latter case, a limitation is imposed: there are only 4 ports, which is exactly how many devices can be connected.

Equipment

The following equipment boasts D-Link DIR-320:

user manual;

• power supply with non-removable cord and plug;

  meter twisted pair, crimped at both ends with appropriate lugs;

  driver disk and electronic version router documentation.

Appearance and purpose of connection elements, indication and control

Displayed on the front of the device information panel, which consists of the following LED indicators:

Power: Lights up continuously during operation and indicates that the device is plugged in.

Status: When the router is operating normally, it blinks continuously. If it lights up continuously, an error has occurred and the device must be restarted.

Internet: may simply light continuously (if there is a connection, but no data is being exchanged) or blink (if there is a connection and information is being transferred).

The next 4 ports are wired. When connected, they light up continuously and blink when data is being exchanged. If the port is not used during operation, then the corresponding indicator is disabled.

The last LED indicator is associated with the printer. It simply lights up continuously when a printing device is connected, and blinks while the document is being output.

The following communication and control elements are located on the back of the device:

antenna wireless connection;

USB port for connecting a printer;

4 LAN ports for creating a wired part of a LAN;

input port for connecting twisted pair cable from the provider;

power supply connection socket;

Reset button to reboot the router.

Selecting a location for installing a network device

At the first stage, we choose the right place for installation. And here, not everything is as simple as it seems at first glance. On the one hand, all wires must be suitable for the installation site of the router, and there must be an outlet nearby for power supply. On the other hand, it is most correct to place the router in the center of the room: this will ensure excellent speed of transmission and reception of information, high level Wi-Fi signal. The router should also not be placed near metal sheets, which can dampen the wireless network signal. Based on the recommendations given earlier, you need to choose the location of the router.

D-Link DIR-320 sequence

The order of this network device model is as follows:

We assemble a temporary circuit for initial setup;

turn on the device and configure it properly;

we analyze the temporary scheme;

install the router in a permanent place;

We assemble a permanent local area network circuit;

turn on the router;

testing the correct settings in the wired network segment;

We check the functionality of the Wi-Fi wireless network.

The router can also be configured at a permanent location, provided that the computer is constantly connected to it by wire. Since this condition cannot always be met, it is recommended to do the setup in 2 stages.

Temporary connection for configuration

Next step of setup D-Link router DIR-320 is a collection of temporary circuitry for configuring a network device. To do this, install it next to a PC or laptop. We use the complete crimped one to connect the computer and the router. We install one end of it into the port network card PC, and the second in any of the 4-wire ports of the router (but not the one intended for exchanging data with the provider’s equipment). We install the power supply into any nearest free outlet, and the cord from it into the power socket of the router. The temporary diagram is ready.

Set the parameters

Now you need to set software settings D-Link DIR-320. To do this we do the following:

turn on the connected computer and router;

wait for the computer and network device to finish loading;

launch any of the browsers available on the PC;

in the address bar of the browser, type the combination of numbers 192.168.000.001 (this is the network address of our router) and press Enter;

in response, a request will appear with a login and, of course, a password. In the first field, enter admin. The second field is left blank when starting for the first time. If this is not the first launch, then enter the password in the second field, which was previously specified;

in the router configuration interface that opens, select “Connection Wizard”;

then we ask New Password administrator and confirm it if necessary;

at the next stage you need to set the connection settings to network equipment provider. This data is provided by the Internet service provider and is usually specified in the contract. This includes the connection type (for example, PPPoE or L2TP), login and password to establish the connection (if required), static or dynamic network address;

After making all the necessary settings, click the Connect button. The router will then reboot;

after rebooting the router, go to the setup menu using the previously described method and select the “Wireless Network Setup Wizard” item;

then set the name of the wireless network at your discretion;

The next step is to set the wireless network password. Again, at your own discretion;

save the changes and force reboot the router.

The preliminary setup is complete, you can turn off the computer and network device and disassemble the temporary scheme.



We install the router in a permanent place and connect

Now we install the D-Link DIR-320 router in a permanent place that most optimally meets the previously given conditions. We bring all wired communications here: twisted pair cable from the provider and other devices that connect to the LAN in this way. We connect the incoming wire from the Internet service provider to the “Internet” port. In the remaining 4 ports we connect the equipment that will use a wired connection. We install the power supply into the outlet, its cord to the router socket. After completely collecting the permanent circuit and checking the correct connections, turn on the router.

Checking the wired LAN segment

After the D-Link DIR-320 NRU router boots up, you can test the wired part of the LAN. To do this, on any computer connected to the router using twisted pair, go to the network settings (Start\Control Panel\Network Connections). Next, create a new connection and save it. We close all windows. Launch any browser and enter any Internet address and press Enter. After this it should open start page. If this does not happen, we check the settings that must be configured to automatically obtain a network address.



Testing the wireless part of the local area network

Next you need to check the functionality of the wireless WiFi connections. The D-Link DIR-320 router allows you to transfer information at speeds of up to 54 Mbit/s. The connection order in this case is as follows:

The router must be turned on and in operating mode, and not in the boot phase.

On any mobile device activate the Wi-Fi transmitter.

Go to the “Settings” of the device, select WLAN and click on the “Search” button. Upon completion, a complete list of all available wireless LANs will appear.

We select exactly the network whose name was specified at the setup stage and connect to it. When prompted for a password appears, enter it. At the same time, it is important not to confuse the administrator password for the D-Link DIR-320 and the password for gaining access to the wireless network. It is the second one that needs to be entered, and they must be different.

Subsequently, the color of the Wi-Fi indicator should change: two triangles should appear on it.



Summary

After setting up the D-Link DIR-320 router, this network device will serve you for many years. This operation, as a rule, has to be performed only when starting up the equipment for the first time. Subsequently, it functions with given values, and there shouldn't be any problems with it.

In this instruction for setting up the DIR-320/NRU, we will look in detail at how to configure this router in DHCP mode, changing the MAC address, as well as in PPTP (VPN) client mode. Our setup guide D-Link router Dir-320 NRU can be used for other models from the Dlinkov 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 “Long” models that we might not have mentioned.

Well... Let's assume that you have one of the D-Links with a new web interface in your hands, 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 to connect internal cables from home PCs, and into the lonely connector with the inscription INTERNET connect the network cable from Aido (this interface in routers is usually called WAN). To the right of WAN interface is located USB connector for connecting a 3G modem from the provider wireless internet, and then there is a power connector and a button recessed into the body RESET to reset the router settings if necessary.

By 4th LAN To the DIR-320 ports you can connect up to 4 PCs or laptops 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.

We have reviewed the basic information regarding the capabilities of your router, now you can move on to setting it up, but first you need to connect the router to your computer or laptop, after which we will gain access to the web interface of our router.

Connecting a router in Windows 7 and XP

Before setting up your D-Link DIR-320, you need to perform a number of preparatory steps - connect any LAN interface of the router with a blue network cable 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 Aido, it must be connected to the INTERNET (WAN) interface.

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 - Connection via local network- Properties - Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) – further see the figure:

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 network connection - Properties - Internet Protocol version 4 - further see the figure:

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. 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

Setting up the router

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 welcome message on your computer screen. To log into the D-Link web interface, you will need to enter your username and password, and then click on Entrance. Default Username- admin, Password- admin:

After entering your credentials, you will see a pop-up message from the router (see figure). 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 on OK:

N you must enter a new one Password and him Confirmation, then press the button Save:

You will be taken to the main menu of the D-Link DIR-320 router, where you will see Device Information:

Important: to save the configuration after any change in settings (!), you must click on the Save button in the right each time top corner.

Connecting to the Internet and setting up in DHCP mode, specifying the MAC address

Now it's time to set up the connection between the router and Aido. In D-Link DIR-320 NRU this can be done in step. Connections - WAN, click on the line WAN interface:

In DHCP mode (automatically obtaining IP parameters from Aido), no special difficulties should arise with setting up the D-Link DIR-320/NRU. To do this in the field Connection type you must leave the option in position IPoE.

In field MAC You can make a MAC address identical to the MAC address of your computer on which you were working before installing the router, this will allow you to avoid calls to Aido. If you want to use a router with a “native” MAC address, then fill out this option, indicate the MAC address that can be found on the bottom of the router (six pairs of numbers). To register the router's MAC address, you need to call the service technical support Aido and report this MAC address.

We will not change any more options here; everything will work in DHCP mode. All you have to do is press the button Save:

Now you need to check the functionality of the settings. This can be done in p. Status - Network statistics. Here in the field WAN You can see information that the router's DHCP client has successfully received the necessary IP parameters from Aido. In fact, you can already work on the Internet from a computer that is connected to the LAN interface of the DIR-320/NRU router.

Configuring a router in PPTP VPN “Real IP” mode

To connect via PPTP you need to create new interface. (Note: first, we still need to configure the router to work via the WAN interface with the connection type ipoe). Open p. Connections, press the button Add:

To configure the router to work over a VPN connection, you need to set the option Connection type into position PPTP. 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. Choose an option URL;

Server address- here the VPN server address mentioned above is indicated, enter ip.site;

PPP Username- in this option, enter the login for authorization with the VPN server. It can be found in your contract with Aido;

Password- this is the password for connecting to the Aido 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- Encryption of data transmitted via VPN is activated here. We leave the option - No encryption.

Authentication algorithm- here you can select the type of authentication that the Aido VPN server supports. Select the option - AUTO or Automatically.

We do not touch the remaining options and checkboxes in this menu. After pressing the button Save, The tunnel to the Aido VPN server should be successfully installed:

You can check whether the VPN session is up in the menu Connections. In order for traffic to go through the VPN tunnel, be sure to set the flag Default Gateway opposite connection PPTP and save the settings via the button in the upper right corner!

Inscription that the PPTP type is in the state Connected indicates successful actions on your part. If the inscription Connected does not appear, then somewhere in the previous stages an error 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 Aido network when a VPN connection is established. 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 torrents in the future, they will have to configure routing. You can do this in DIR-320/NRU at Additionally — Routing. This menu is a table for entering static routes.

To create a new local route in D-Link DIR-320/NRU you need to click on the button Add:

In field Destination network you should indicate the destination area of ​​this route, indicate 10.0.0.0 .

In field Destination network mask you should specify the subnet mask for a specific route, indicate 255.0.0.0 .

In field Gateway 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).

In field Metrics can be supplied 1 or 10 . This value specifies the priority for this particular routing rule.

In field Via interface leave option<Automatically>, then the D-Link DIR-320/NRU router itself 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 button Save:

After entering all the necessary routes, all that remains is to save the router parameters by clicking on the button Save. At this point, the routing setup in the D-Link DIR-320/NRU router can be considered complete.

Setting up a Wi-Fi connection

The D-Link DIR-320/NRU router allows you to transfer data over a wireless network, when using appropriate Wi-Fi equipment with client side. Wireless setup Wi-Fi networks in the new D-Links of the DIR series, it is produced in p. WiFi – General settings. Here you can turn off completely Wi-Fi module in your router. The router will then change from wireless to wired.

Go to p. basic settings, in which you can set the name of the network and select the standard wireless communication.

Hide hotspot— disables the distribution of 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.

A country- option Russian Federation.

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 the channel 1 or channel 12 to minimize the likelihood of interference with neighboring networks.

Wireless mode- here you can select the wireless mode 802.11g or 802.11n, or maybe even the outdated 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.

Below you can set Maximum number of clients that will connect to the router.

Wireless network encryption is configured in p. Security Settings.

In option Network authentication You can select the encryption algorithm for your 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 field PSK encryption key You set a password for your wireless Wi-Fi network. We recommend here to use a password of 8 to 10 characters in length, consisting of uppercase and lowercase letters, special characters and numbers. This minimizes the likelihood of password guessing by attackers.

In option WPA encryption You can select an algorithm for WPA encryption. TKIP– less crypto-resistant option compared to AES, nose AES Some wireless clients may not work. We recommend setting the option TKIP+AES, then you will ensure compatibility with most Wi-Fi clients.

WPA key renewal period can be left as default.

I would like to say a few more words about one more option in Additional settings wireless network. Here's the option TX power 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.

Port forwarding for torrent

Setting up port forwarding (port forwarding) must be done if you plan to use programs and devices on your home network that require unsolicited access to them from the Aido local network or the external Internet. For example, this may be required when accessing a home IP web camera or when working with file-sharing services such as torrent. 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 Utorrent:

You can configure Port Forwarding in a D-Link router in p. Firewall - Virtual servers . 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. New rules are created after clicking the button Add:

Open the Utorrent settings for connection parameters and put them in the following form. IN Incoming port indicate the port that we would like to forward in our router:

Next, let's go back to the router's port forwarding menu and create a rule for forwarding connections from Utorrent to the IP of our second computer on the home network. When creating a port forwarding rule, take into account that the second computer has an internal IP address of 192.168.0.222. We will forward TCP and UDP traffic on the port 22222 , which we will reflect in our rule:

We also note that for Utorrent to work correctly, you will need to connect your “Real IP” service; port forwarding alone in the router will not be enough! Without a dedicated IP address, you will not be able to fully distribute torrents, because... will interfere with NAT in Aido. In most cases, without a dedicated IP, torrent distribution will be only 1/3 of the channel width.

This is all the necessary configuration that may be required during home use of routers DIR-620, DIR-300/NRU, DIR-615, etc.

If you purchased a new router or moved to a new place of residence with old equipment, then most likely you will need to configure the router d link dir 300 Rostelecom. This process is not as complicated as it seems at first glance. In this article we will prove this and consider all the stages of this procedure, as well as setting up the d link dir 320 Rostelecom router.

Preparing the router for work

Before you start working directly, you need to inspect the device itself and perform a few simple operations:

• connect the power cord and make sure that the “Power” indicator is lit;
• connect the Internet cord to the appropriate connector: there are 5 in total;
• Verify that the Port 1 and Operation LEDs on the front panel are lit. WiFi networks, indicating that the cable is connected correctly and the signal from the provider’s servers reaches the device.

Important: the first four connectors are designed to connect a computer and a router via cable. Fifth for connection telephone wire(Internet), as a result of which d link 300 will take on the function of an ADSL modem.

Now we take out the documents that Rostelecom provided us, they are needed for setup router dir 300.

How to configure a dir 300 router with the old web interface

Setting up the d link dir 300 Rostelecom router begins with presets computer. They are carried out as follows:

• Press the code combination Win+R on the keyboard. The “Run” window will open;
• enter the combination ncpa.cpl into the empty field;
• in the network connections window that opens, select your current one (which you are setting up) and open its properties;
• from the list, select Internet Protocol version 4 and also go to properties;
• if any IP and DNS addresses are specified, switch the network to automatically receive data.

Next, open the browser and, just as when setting up the dir 320 router for Rostelecom, enter the combination: 192.168.0.1 into the address bar, which will take us to the authorization page. There is no need to know the login and password when setting up a new device (purchased and never used), since the value is the same for both fields - the word “admin” is strictly in lowercase. If an error pops up indicating an incorrect password, it means that the router has already been configured before and you need to find out the new Password set or reset the value by pressing the Reset button.

After successfully logging into the main interface, the router will most likely prompt you to change standard password on your own. We enter the invented combination of characters in two fields, confirm and go through authorization again, but with new data. If everything is done correctly, you will see the main menu in the form of blue “buttons” of a fairly large size.

To start setting up the network, perform the following operations:

• click on the first (lower left) button of the second line “Configure manually”;
• in the upper text menu select “Network”;
• open an existing “WAN” connection;
• Scroll down the page and click “Delete” in the lower right corner;
• wait until the page refreshes, the “Add” button appears on the right, click on it;
• on the settings page that opens, specify the type of Internet connection – PPPoE;
  we do not touch the port;
• choose any name (this will be the name of your connection in “Network Connections” on your computer);
• Below we indicate the login from the agreement with Rostelecom, as well as the password;
• save the changes made, then click “Save” again in the center of the page.

At this stage, we put aside the Rostelecom agreement and check the settings of the dir 300 router - go to any page on the Internet. It should open without problems. All that remains is to configure the wireless network. For this:

• open the WiFi menu item (located next to “Network”);
• in the SSID field, enter any name for your network and move on;
  to set a password, save the changes and select from available options WPA2-PSK;
• Enter the password you created and save again.

That's all, the connection and wireless network are ready to go.

Setting up a router dir 320 Rostelecom

Since the setting new firmware The Dir 300 router and the main firmware of the 320 model are practically the same, we present general instructions on network settings this type Rostelecom devices.

The initial setup of the d link dir 320 Rostelecom router is carried out in exactly the same way as described earlier:

• connect network cables and set automatic IP/DNS acquisition;
• after that, log in with standard data and set your own login password;
• in the interface window that opens, look in the lower right corner - “Advanced settings”;
• in the “Network” field, select the first submenu item – “WAN”;
• select an existing connection and, similarly, click “Delete”;
• add a new connection in the same way as in the previous paragraph, entering the network name and data from the contract, and then save it;
• open the notification that appears (light bulb in the top menu) and click “Save”;
• refresh the page and observe the connection status “Connected”.

This completes the setup of the router dir 320 Rostelecom wired connection completed. Check the functionality of the connection by going to any of the search engines or to the website social network. If everything is done correctly, the Internet will work.

Setting up a WiFi router d link dir 320 Rostelecom

To configure the d link dir 320 Rostelecom router to “distribute” a wireless connection, you need to return to the main menu and open the advanced settings again. Next to the “Network” field you can find the functionality we need wifi settings. Go to the “Basic Settings” submenu and specify, as in previous firmware, network name. Then we go back a step and open the security settings, where you need to set the same type of network authentication and the same long password (at least 8 characters) as on the d link dir 300 router. Save the changes twice (the second time in the notification above) and check WiFi network availability on any suitable device.

From this article you learned how to set up a dir 320 router for Rostelecom, as well as its previous model, and these instructions should work in most cases. If you have such a typical problem as the web interface being unavailable via IP (that is, the browser does not open the authorization page after entering the combination 192.168.0.1), then again go to the Internet protocol properties (where we set automatic IP/DNS acquisition) and switch network for working with static data. In the fields that have become active, indicate:

• 168.0.12;
• leave unchanged (should fill in automatically);
• 168.0.1;
• DNS data from the contract;
• also stated in the contract.

After applying these changes, the login page should become available. If you still have questions, watch this video:

And that's all. Tell us about your experience connecting to the Internet. Any questions in the comments are welcome!

Configure correctly home network it is impossible without understanding the features specific device. In this article we will talk about two such devices, namely, setting up D-Link DIR 300 and 320 routers to work in the Rostelecom operator network. The process is not particularly complicated and is easy to understand even for a novice user. Having minimal computer literacy will greatly facilitate the assimilation of information.

To avoid any complications during the upcoming installation of the access point, you need to reset the configuration to the factory state. The easiest way to do this is using a button on the device. It must be pressed and held for 10 seconds. Naturally, the router must be plugged in. After resetting the parameters, the device will reboot, which will also take some time (no more than 10 seconds).

One more point requires attention - you need to check the status of the Internet protocol (IPv4) parameters in Windows system. To do this, you need to use its interface and take the following actions.

A universal method for all Windows systems

Press the combination “Windows” + “R”. The Run window will open. In the text field, write the command ncpa.cpl and press “Enter”. A network connections window will open, in which you need to perform the steps described below.

This method works in all Windows versions up to 10.

Pairing PC and router

After the above described manipulations, the computer and router are ready to work together. It is better to do the initial configuration of the equipment using a wired connection. To do this, you can use the Ethernet cable supplied with the router. One of the connectors must be inserted into the LAN port on the rear panel of the device, the other into the network card connector. You also need to disconnect the Rostelecom cable from the WAN (Internet) port on the access point, this will make setting up the d link router easier.

DIR 300 router configuration for Rostelecom

You can configure the d-link dir 300 router to work with the Rostelecom provider through the admin panel interface. There are currently two firmware versions (1.3.x and 1.4.x).

Logging into the router control panel

To log into the access point management interface, you will need the device address and authorization data (login/password). If the hardware parameters are set to their default state, you can use the standard values:

• address – 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1;
• login/password pair – admin.

The dir 300 router for Rostelecom can be configured using any Internet browser, for example, Internet Explorer. After launching it, you need to place the cursor in the address bar, enter the address value (192.168.1.1) and press enter. The user login page will open.

Enter the login information in the fields: user – admin, password is the same.

Attention! To increase security, it is better to follow this recommendation.

After changing the data and confirming the changes, the main page of the admin panel will open. Depending on the firmware version, there may be external differences. You can update the firmware in the system -> software update section, after downloading it from the D-Link website.

Rostelecom network parameters for firmware 1.4.x

First, go to the advanced settings section; to do this, click on the corresponding inscription in the lower right corner. On the page that opens, go to the “Network” tab and select the WAN subsection.

Further settings of the dir 300 router depend on the technology that the provider uses to connect subscribers. In most cases, Rostelecom uses the PPPoE standard.

PPPoE configuration:

• On the WAN page, select the appropriate connection type.
• Specify the connection name (can be anything).
• The peculiarity of the PPPoE standard is that the user is authenticated in the operator’s network using a login/password pair, which can be found on a copy of the contract or from the provider. This data must be entered into the appropriate fields on the WAN page.

We'll look at how to configure the d-link dir 300 router on old firmware below.

Rostelecom parameters for firmware 1.3.x

After successful authentication, the main page of the admin panel will open, on which you need to click on the tile that says: “Configure manually.”

Then go to the “Network” tab, where in the “WAN” section we select an existing connection, open its parameters and delete it. Next, an empty list of connections will open, on which you need to click the “Add” button. The sequence of further actions is similar to that for firmware 1.4.x (see above - PPPoE configuration).

Setting up a DIR 320 router for Rostelecom

The procedure for setting up the d link dir 320 router for Rostelecom is somewhat similar to that for the three hundredth model, however, let’s consider it in more detail.

• We determine the type for the connection – PPPoE.
• As the value of the username, we use the login for connecting to the Internet (we find out from Rostelecom).
• The password for authorization in the provider’s network is provided by Rostelecom along with the login.
• After filling out all the required fields, click “Save”.

At this point, the initial configuration can be considered complete. If you plan to use Wi-Fi, you can also configure wireless network security settings through the dir 320 control panel.
