How to set up a D-link DIR-615 router? I recently purchased this device and I just can’t configure anything. Of course, the problem is most likely me, since before this router I didn’t have such devices at all. In short, I won’t lie, I can’t even enter the router settings, I type in Opera browser address 192.168.0.1 and exits white page. The router was connected to a desktop computer with installed Windows 7. I also have a laptop that I want to connect to the router via Wi-Fi. Elena.

Hello admin, here’s a question: how to configure a D-link DIR-615 router, if I have Home Internet from Beeline and also Beeline TV? I'll explain everything in order. A month ago I decided to connect the Internet and Home TV - Beeline. I called Beeline and submitted a request. The craftsmen came and pulled the Internet provider cable from the corridor and connected it to some black box (which turned out to be an outdated 5-port switch) D-link DES-1005A and this switch was connected using LAN cable with my computer, and the Internet appeared on it. Next, we connected the set-top box to my TV, which in turn was also connected to the DES-1005A switch using another network cable. Home appeared digital television. All this would be good, but we also have a laptop. Due to my lack of computer education, I thought that the D-link DES-1005A switch could distribute Wi-Fi, but in your comment you explained to me that this is not so and it cannot distribute any Wi-Fi. The D-link DES-1005A switch has long been discontinued and cannot do anything at all except create a regular wired local network. So my question is, if I want to have Wi-Fi, does that mean I will have to buy a router as well? I called Beeline for a consultation, they immediately began to offer me their branded Beeline router, and as they say in support, only with it they guarantee normal work Internet.

Tell me, how to configure the D-link DIR-615 router with everything that I have now? Or better yet, I’ll ask differently: - Can I replace the outdated D-link DES-1005A switch with a D-link DIR-615 router? Anatoly.

WITH new firmware the router will work more stable, the interface will be more beautiful, and most importantly, the settings now include the ability to configure Internet television.

Let's go to the D-link website, as you can see, there are two firmware versions for hardware revisions K1 and K2,

The D-Link DIR 615 router is one of the most popular models company due to its reliability, speed and ease of use. Many Internet providers recommend using it or offer it for sale themselves.

It’s very easy to connect and configure it yourself, like any other router from D-Link. Next, we will tell you how to connect and go into the settings of the D LINK DIR 615 router, configure it for a specific provider and connection.

An important point: the menus and web interface items in the article are indicated for the latest firmware versions; it is recommended to update it to the latest one.

Connection

The first time, even if you are going to use only Wi-Fi, you need to connect using an Ethernet cable:

Authorization

After connecting, you need to configure your router. For these purposes, a simple and intuitive graphical web interface is used.

To open it you need:

If the router has a different address or the login or password has been changed and you do not know them, reset the settings by pressing the reset button on the back panel of the device for 10-15 seconds. More details about resetting at the end of the article.

Firmware

On a store-bought device, as a rule, it costs outdated version firmware. The manufacturer releases new revisions containing bug fixes and various improvements. It is recommended to install the most latest version from those available.

There are also special firmware customized for a specific provider, for example, TTK has one for DIR-615. It can be changed to standard.

For installation:

Internet setup

In order to configure the Internet, select “Network -> WAN”.

A list of existing connections will appear before our eyes. Most likely it will be empty, but if there is already something there, it is better to delete them. After clicking on the “Add” button, we will be able to set up a new connection.

The most important step is choosing the connection type. There are several available modes Internet connections, which will be discussed in more detail below. You can find out your type by calling your provider's support.

PPPoE

The most common of them, it is used by most Internet providers, for example Dom ru.

You will need a password and login, which can be obtained from support. The MTU parameter should be set to 1492. Click on the “Change” button to save the changes.

L2TP

This type of connection is used to work with VPN and is provided, for example, by the Beeline provider. The protocol is relatively new; older routers generally do not support it, but DIR 615 is not one of them and is recommended for use with this protocol.

To connect to the Internet you will need:

Static IP

For most providers, getting a static IP is additional service, because not everyone needs it. For some purposes, this option is necessary, but you will have to pay extra to the provider for it.

If you have it connected, you will need:

For Rostelecom, the gateway address is the first three numbers of your IP address without changes and instead of the last one (for example, if your IP is 213.98.76.45, then the gateway address will be 213.98.76.1), and DNS addresses 212.94.96.114.

Dynamic IP

Dynamic IP differs from static IP only in that it is issued via DHCP every time you log in to the network.

Its biggest advantage is that you do not need to enter any additional data. Just select this protocol and use it after the network is automatically installed.

Occasionally, you may need to replace the MAC address with the one registered with your provider. Just enter the required address in the special field and click “Change”.

Wi-Fi setup

Once you have connected your router to the Internet, you can begin setting up your wireless network. Its configuration should not be taken lightly, since Wi-Fi with a weak password or no password at all can not only cause a decrease in available speed and increase in traffic, but also a security threat.

The local network

The local network is configured automatically by the device, and in most cases, there is no need to change existing settings. You can go to settings by clicking on “Network -> LAN”. In most cases there is no need to change them.

You can also change the router address and the range of addresses issued by DHCP here. For correct operation must be enabled on all computers in the local area automatic receipt IP.

Changing the administrator password

For security purposes, it is important to change the default administrator login and password. By leaving it at default, you create the risk of giving control to a random person. This may seem like an unnecessary measure for home Internet, but it will probably save you a lot of nerves.

You can change it by going to “System -> Administrator Password”. Don't make it too simple and be sure to write it down somewhere: reconfiguring your router is rarely required, and during this time you may simply forget it. Make sure that no one else can gain access to it.

Reset

If your settings are incorrect, or you have forgotten your password or administrator login, you can reset your device to factory settings.

It can be done:

The capabilities of the D-link DIR 615 are extensive and allow it to be used for a wide range of tasks, but it can be configured home Internet It’s not at all difficult to do it yourself even if you have very little experience, thanks to the intuitive, well-thought-out interface.

In this article we will configure the very popular D-link DIR-615 router. I will write the article using an example. And if you have a different model, then it’s okay, almost everything is the same. This instruction is suitable for many routers D-link company. I will try to write about everything in detail and clear language. I won’t talk much about the router itself, read my review and another useful information about DIR-615/A, you can follow the link above. Let me just say that this router is well suited for a home or small office. It will easily provide stable Internet access for your computers, phones, tablets (via Wi-Fi) and other devices.

As for setting up the D-link DIR-615, everything is very simple. And if your provider uses Dynamic IP connection technology, then you just need to connect the router, and the Internet will already be working. You will only need to set a password for the Wi-Fi network and change the network name if necessary. The only thing I don’t like is that the settings in D-link change (in appearance) in almost every version. I will enter the router control panel. And therefore, the settings of your router may differ from those that you see in this article. But a firmware update may fix this.

We will configure D-link DIR-615 according to this scheme:

Connecting and logging into the control panel on D-link DIR-615
Setting up the Internet on D-link DIR-615 (connections to provider)
Settings Wi-Fi networks and change password

And now, about everything in more detail.

Connect D-link DIR-615 and go to settings

Connect power to the router and turn it on. If the indicators on the front panel of the router do not light up, check whether the power is turned on with the button on the rear panel. If you will be setting up a router via cable, then take network cable that comes with the kit, connect the router to your computer. Connect one end of the cable to black LAN connector (in 1 of 4), and connect the other end to the network card of your computer (laptop). Connect the cable from your Internet provider to yellow WAN connector

If you don't have a computer with network card, or there is no cable, then you can configure everything via Wi-Fi. You can even do it from your phone or tablet.

You can also change the administrator password, which is used to access the router settings. If you haven’t changed it, or have changed it but have already forgotten, then you can do this on the tab System - Administrator password.

Enter your new password twice and click Apply. Don't forget to save your settings.

Be sure to write down this password somewhere. If you forget it, you will not be able to access the control panel and will have to reset the settings.

Afterword

Phew, I'm tired :) I won't write anything more. If you have any questions about the article, ask in the comments. I hope you were able to configure your router.

In this article we will talk about the D-Link 615 DIR router, configuration and features. Now you can find several versions of this modem, but their operating process is the same. Therefore, no one should have any problems with the setup. It does not have any unique systems. All the tips and recommendations described below can be called universal.

Router capabilities

Before you set up your router, you need to understand all its capabilities and features. Maximum speed devices - 100 Mbit per second. The network with wired connection. Dot Wi-Fi access works with more high speed- 300 Mbit per second. The device operates with world-famous technology - IPTV. Owners will not be able to use the device as a print server, since it does not have additional USB port. It is also prohibited to connect a 3G modem to it. Otherwise, it could transmit 3G and GSM Internet to the router.

Set

The equipment of the device is ordinary, nothing stands out. There is a router itself, twisted pair(1 m, received crimped ends), power supply, as well as documents that make it easier to use the device. If it is needed complete guide, then you can download it from the official website of the company.

Preliminary data

You need to configure the D-Link 615 DIR by specifying the data that is necessary to provide the Internet directly from the provider. It is because of this that the contract concluded with him should be studied for a more detailed understanding. It must indicate the network address, connection, login and password. If they are not specified in the documents, then they should be clarified in service center provider. They must be recorded and retained as long as the consumer uses these services. This will reduce the time it takes to set up the router in case of further failures.

Temporary connection

Settings D-Link router 615 DIR must be carried out either on desktop computer, or on a laptop. It is best if the technology is a device that does not change its location. In this case, you need to connect the router temporarily. What needs to be done to make the settings?

The computer and router must be turned off.
Cable needs to be connected network device to the power supply, the other end to the router.
Next you need to take the interface wire. It must be connected to the computer and any port of the router called LAN.

This is how a temporary connection is made.

Enabling and setting

Continuing to configure the D-Link 615 DIR for Ufanet or another provider, you need to turn it on along with the computer. Next, you should open your browser and enter the network address in any search engine. It often takes the form of two three-digit numbers, followed by 0 and 1, separated by a dot: 192.168.0.1. Next, you need to press “Enter” and wait for the connection. A menu will pop up in which you need to specify your login and password. This information is in the contract. Basically they are standard and the same: admin. After entering, the router control panel will open. You need to find the “Advanced Settings” menu. In them, the user is interested in the “System” item. There you should find a menu responsible for the language, in which you can change it to Russian. After clicking the “Save” button, the changes will take effect. Those who speak excellent English can this recommendation skip. As a rule, when setting up D-Link 615 DIR for Beeline, the process is so easy that the entire interface is understandable in a foreign language.

Next, you should go back to “Advanced Options”. There you are interested in the WAN menu. This is where you can set all the parameters prescribed by the provider. It's about about a constant or changing network address, connection type, login and password for working with the signal. After specifying them, you need to save the data and go to the wireless network menu. It is necessary to configure all parameters: name, encryption, login and password of the access point. Next you will need to save the changes and exit the control panel.

Transfer to a permanent location

Of course, many are interested in the fact of how to configure a router not according to a temporary scheme, but according to a permanent one. You need to connect the network cable provided by your provider to the WAN connector. All other cables are to the LAN ports. The power supply should be connected to an outlet, and the other end of the cord should be connected to the router. Next, you need to wait for the network device to turn on and boot. How to understand? The Energy indicator will stop flashing. Further D-Link setup 615 DIR is not needed for Rostelecom and other providers. The user should only test the computer's network.

Twisted pair test

How to connect the router itself has already been described, but all the manipulations do not end there. You need to set up a connection to your router. To do this, after turning on the computer, go to the “Control Panel”. There will be a “Network Connection” menu. Having opened the parameters in this section, it is necessary to activate the function responsible for obtaining the access point address in automatically. Just re-save and open the browser.

To do this, you need to find on any device (laptop, tablet, phone) the menu responsible for receiving the Internet signal, turn on Wi-Fi. Next, you should run a network search and find the one that was created when setting up the router. After specifying your login and password, you need to try to access the Internet through a browser. Opening home page and check the connection.

IPTV technology

Any router modern assembly works using IPTV technology. Why is it needed and how does it function? Thanks to the Internet and special equipment this technology Allows you to display channels on your TV. To connect the set-top box and router to the screen, a special port on the device and twisted pair cable are used. It is necessary to carry out it correctly IPTV setup on D-Link 615 DIR.

It was described above how to access the control panel. It is on this recommendation that you should go there again to configure the software. In the menu that opens, the user goes to the IP-TV section. When you select it, the settings wizard will automatically launch. It will ask for the port to which the set-top box is connected. An image of the available connectors will be displayed on the screen; just click on the one you need using a standard manipulator.

If the provider uses virtual networks To transmit a TV signal, you should do additional settings. It’s worth going to the VLAN tab. In it you need to configure a group of ports that have received a transparent type; to it you need to add a physical D-Link 615 DIR connector that works with the set-top box. You should save the settings and exit the browser.

Software update

When finishing setting up your router, you should definitely check for software updates. How can I tell which version is installed? It is written on the box and on the router itself. If this method of finding out is not clear, then you can go to the control panel and look in the right corner. The version will be indicated at the top next to the company logo D-Link firmware 615 DIR. The setup then happens quite quickly.

Then you need to look at the manufacturer’s official website by going to the “Search” menu. You can find update information using this section. If this option is not suitable, then you should pay attention to the drop-down list of all available modems from the company. In it you need to select the name of the router being described. There will be a “Downloads” item, which describes the new version of the software and a link to download it.
