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

All tips

To fully work on the Internet from a smartphone or tablet, there is no way to do without a wireless connection. A device called a router (or router, as it is also popularly called) will help you organize a Wi-Fi connection. If 4-5 years ago, the minimum price category included devices of the N150 line, in which the maximum data transfer speed was 150 Mbit/s. Today, these devices are practically not found on the market, and they have been completely replaced by devices with a channel width of 300 Mbit/s. 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 larger area and 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 it is done setting up a D-link and ASUS router, 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 provider uses. It can be static IP, dynamic IP, PPPoE, PPTP or L2TP. To determine this information, contact your provider and ask a consultant what type of connection to specify in the settings.

You can also find this out in the settings of the network adapter used for connection.

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 “IP version 4” 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 it’s worth reading that too.

Setting up a D-Link router

D-Link brand routers have long been popular among ordinary people. Setting up such a router is as easy as shelling pears, even without any special knowledge.

The first thing to do is plug the device into a power outlet. Next, connect the cable from your Internet provider to the WAN port located on the back of the device. It is usually 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 the technical documentation (included with the router)). Along with many other technical parameters, here you can see the IP address (the most popular IP: 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.1.1), through which you can access the web interface to manage the device.

Also, the settings of the network adapter used for the connection must be set to “Automatic” for the IP address and DNS server.

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

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

Finally, enter the IP address displayed in 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 setup steps sequentially, one after the other.

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 we need to connect the main cable to the WAN port for the device to recognize it and the setup procedure to continue successfully.

If the cable is not connected, or the device is faulty (which is also quite possible - factory defects are far from uncommon today), when you click 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 have connected everything correctly and your router is working properly, the following form with settings will open in front of you.

Here you need to indicate the connection type 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 connection type selected in the previous iteration, here you can enter the primary IP address, netmask, gateway, primary 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 configuration form, you can specify data that is not available in the shortened version.

We leave all other options as they are and move on to the final form.

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

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

On the next form we will be asked to activate the Yandex.DNS service. What are its advantages? Yandex.DNS provides three-level protection against viruses, Trojans and worms, and also provides parental controls to prevent children from opening sites in the 18+ category. 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 “Access point” option.

Next we are asked 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 you connect. Enter any memorable value and move on.

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

The following form is descriptive and only summarizes all the Wi-Fi settings you have specified. Click “Apply”.

If everything went well, you will see a message about creating a Wi-Fi connection with the specified name and password. Click “Continue”.

This is followed by . If you use such a service on a TV, connect the Ethernet network 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 is created and you successfully connect to it, congratulations, you have successfully completed setting up the router. If you can’t connect, the wizard may be using an unusual type of Wi-Fi protection. To fix this problem, go to the Wi-Fi section, “Security settings” tab and set the “Network authentication” parameter to “WPA2-PSK”.

After this, 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 pressing the Reset button located on the back or bottom wall of the router with a ballpoint pen or a knitting needle (or something else?). Hold it pressed for 15-20 seconds. After this, all settings will be deleted and you can start over.

Setting up an ASUS router

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

Having previously inserted 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 via the IP address previously discovered on the router case.

The first time we log into the interface of a new device, we will have to come up with a password intended for authentication. Subsequently, simply enter your username and password to log in.

We launch the network setup wizard by clicking the “Quick Internet setup” button.

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

On the following form we set the connection parameters: primary and secondary DNS server, gateway, network mask, IP address. This window is the most important, since this is where the basic connection parameters are set.

Final phase – Wi-Fi setup. Specify the network name (SSID) and password for it (key) and click the “Apply” button.

If everything went well, a window with accumulated connection data will appear in front of you. Activate the Yandex.DNS service if you wish, if you really need it, but when using it, some resources will be unavailable. Click “Finish”, and you can travel across the vastness of the World Wide Web.

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

Results

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

Preparing equipment for the setup procedure

Remove the device and all its accompanying components from the packaging. Attach the antenna to the router body (for some models it is screwed in). Connect the cord of your Internet provider to the socket of the router labeled “Internet”, and use a patch cord to connect the network card of the PC with the Link device, inserting the plug into the socket labeled “LAN”.

Insert the power supply cable into the power supply socket of the device and connect to the power supply.

After this, you need to make preliminary settings on your PC. To do this, you need to perform the following sequence of steps:

Through “Start” open “Control Panel”;
Go to “Network and Internet”;
Next, enter the “Network and Public Access Management Center”;
Click on “Change parameters.” adapter";
Select “Local network connection” and call the context menu;
Click on the line “Properties”;
Click “Protocol 4 (TCP/IPv4)” and check the “Obtain IP automatically” and “Obtain DNS address automatically” checkboxes:
Click "Ok".

If you have a previously used WiFi router, it is recommended that you first reset its settings to the factory state before starting to work with it. There is a special button labeled “Reset” on the back panel of the device.

It is necessary, armed with a thin and sharp object, for example, a straightened wire of a paper clip, to press on this key recessed into the body of the device and hold it for several seconds. Wait until the device is fully loaded; this process usually does not take more than a couple of minutes.

How to enter the router settings?

The algorithm of actions consists of several stages:

Setup procedure

You need to follow the following step-by-step instructions:

Hello! In this article we will connect the D-link DIR-615 router. I will show this model as an example, but the instructions are suitable for all D-link routers: DIR-300, DIR-320, etc. Let’s look at the process of connecting the router. Let's connect power, internet, and computer via cable or wireless Wi-Fi network. I will provide links to instructions for entering the router settings and setting up Wi-Fi, Internet, etc. Simply put, you can connect and configure a new D-link router yourself.

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

You may have a different model, it doesn't matter. The main thing is that we need to connect it all correctly. If you connect it incorrectly, you will hardly be able to configure the router, let alone use it.

We need:

Connect power to the router
If the indicators do not light up, turn on the power using the button on the device
Connect your computer, tablet, phone to the router. Can be done via cable or Wi-Fi
Connect the Internet to the D-link router. Cable from an Internet provider, or from an 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 your router. Then, plug it into a power outlet. If the router does not turn on, then turn on the power using the button on the router itself. Next, if you want to connect the router to a computer or laptop via a network cable (it’s best to configure via cable), then take the network cable that comes with the router and connect your 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 via Wi-Fi network. Just turn on the router and a new Wi-Fi network will appear that you can connect to. You may find it useful to connect your laptop to a wireless network.

If you have connected your computer to the router, and you see the connection status on the computer: “Without 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 have not configured it yet .

Connecting the Internet to D-link

Most likely, you just have a cable from your provider or an ADSL modem in your house. In the first case, we take a cable from the 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 connected) won't work. This is because you need to configure the router to work with your Internet provider. I wrote about this in the article: .

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

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