Router d link dir 615 does not turn on.
- 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and pulled the Internet provider cable from the corridor and connected it to some black box (which turned out to be an outdated 5-port switch) D-link DES-1005A and this switch was connected using LAN cable with my computer, and the Internet appeared on it.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 offered me their branded Beeline router, and as they say in support, only with it they guarantee normal operation of the 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 Or better yet, I’ll ask differently: - Can I replace the outdated D-link DES-1005A switch with a D-link DIR-615 router?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.
How to set up a D-link DIR-615 router
Friends, in this article we will configure the D-link DIR-615 router for the Beeline provider, but the article will also be useful for those users who have a different Internet provider, since the difference in the settings is minimal. At the end of the article there is a short instruction for the Dom.ru provider.First of all, let's connect our router correctly. We will connect the one carried out by your provider local cable Internet to the WAN port on the router, everything is visible on the screenshot, it says internet, and the router and your desktop computer Let's connect each other with a network cable (in our case, blue) via LAN port No. 1. 
Firmware update for D-link DIR-615 router
Secondly - update the router firmware D-link DIR-615. According to my observations, almost all D-link DIR-615 routers on sale have outdated version firmware 1.0.0. Posted on the official D-Link website a new version firmware 1.0.18 for our router. 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,
Determining which firmware you need is very simple. On back side our router has a sticker and on it all the information about our router: serial number, MAC address and revision. As you can see, I have K1.
In order to flash our router and configure it, we go to its settings, for this we need to type in address bar any browser numbers 192.168.0.1 and press Enter. If after this you do not see a window for entering your login and password to enter the router settings, then you need to clear the browser cache, or reinstall the browser completely, or try using a different browser.
We type the numbers 192.168.0.1 in the address bar of the browser and press Enter, a window for entering login and password appears, by default they are admin and admin.
You will immediately be prompted to change the simple password you are using to another one. To prevent neighbors on Wi-Fi from entering the settings of our router, indicate New Password and confirm the change. And here we are in the main settings window of the D-link DIR-615 router, on a white background there are blue buttons, after changing the firmware, the settings interface will change to more convenient and beautiful.
Select the Configure manually button,
An explorer window will open, select the file with the firmware
And click Open, Update.
Update in progress software. Opens new interface D-link DIR-615 router settings. Enter the username admin and password, then change the password to a more complex one.
Friends, before setting up the D-link DIR-615 router, let’s leave it alone for five minutes. We need to produce small settings in our operating system.
In Windows XP. Start - Control Panel - Network connections- Local Area Connection - Properties - Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) - Properties - and .
In Windows 7 and Windows 8. Go to Properties - Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and set the setting Obtain an IP address automatically And Obtain DNS server address automatically.
Now let's return to our router. So, entered the username admin and password,
Celebrating L2TP + Dynamic IP.
Enter your username. Password. Password confirmation. VPN server address tp.internet.beeline.ru. Apply. Further.
Apply.
Setting up the router proceeds to Wi-Fi settings.
Router.
Network authentication. Select Secure Network. We come up with a Security Key and Next.
For example, I connected Home TV - Beeline to router port No. 4, select it with the left mouse and Next.
If you do not have Home TV - Beeline, you can skip this step. Save.
The whole difference between the Beeline provider and DOM.ru is in the network protocol. DOM.ru uses network protocol link layer PPPoE, this should be selected when setting up the router.
I've had this piece of hardware for a long time. If anyone doesn't know, this is Wi-Fi router D-Link DIR-615, which can distribute the Internet to smartphones, tablets and laptops without wires or other hassles. It can be configured in literally two clicks, but from time to time it also has problems.
It so happened that when I connected to a new provider, I was given a router (who would refuse a freebie), so this one was put aside for a while and was supposed to go to my brother-in-law, but the latter is slow as hell and still can’t pick it up. Looks like luck :)
The fact is that this cheap TP-Link distributes the Internet even worse than the Delink one and periodically loses the signal. Why do I need such crap? So today I decided to return everything to normal, but unexpectedly I encountered difficulties. The router stubbornly refused to distribute the Internet via Wi-Fi, although everything was fine on the computer and via the wire. I fiddled with the settings for a long time, delved into IPs and other crap, but nothing came of it. Therefore, I decided to reflash the D-Link DIR-615 for myself for the first time.
Let me make a reservation right away that I did not turn off the Internet and did not do everything that is recommended to do in the user manuals - I simply downloaded the file with the firmware, selected it in the appropriate section of the settings at 192.168.0.1 and waited a bit.
Where can I get the latest firmware?
to the D-Link DIR-615 router?
It's simple. You need to go to the official FTP D-Link server and there look for the latest firmware version. This window will look like this:
Router DIR 615 is a model produced by Dlink, which has proven itself well in the market computer equipment. The router maintains a stable network and has Wi-Fi connectivity. It allows you to protect all home computers, while providing transparent communication between them. But not everyone will be able to correctly configure everything they need right away, so let’s check how simple it is.
Equipment
When purchasing such a device, we need to make sure that everything we need for initial work, already included in the package. It’s not very pleasant to buy a router, bring it home and realize that now you need to go get a cable, because when you turn on the D Link DIR 615 for the first time, the configuration is carried out only by network cable. Special case Wi-Fi settings are not suitable for the first time - the network is disabled.
But the package contains everything we need for the first time: a cable for connecting to a computer, a pair of antennas, a power supply for the network, the device itself and a disk with programs. Also a whole bunch of papers, guarantees and most importantly - instructions in Russian. There is also a special stand: the router can be placed on its edge so that it takes up less space on the table.
Connect to the computer
The connection is very simple. First, we screw on the antennas, they have the most common threads, then we take out the Internet cable from the computer and plug it into the wan socket on the D Link DIR 615. Setting up the first connection should be done via cable. There is usually a sticker next to the wan socket, unhook it, behind it are 4 identical ports. Use the supplied cable to connect one of the ports to the computer. Which of the four ports to choose is up to you to decide; now they are of equal value. On the computer we plug the cable into the socket where the Internet used to be. We connect the power supply. Everything we need for initial setup, ready. We plug the plug into the socket and wait for the router to boot. At the same time, turn on the computer if you haven’t done so before.
Start setting up
So, we connected the cables, turned on the computer, the router, but now there is no Internet - however, we don’t need it at first. You will need instructions in the instructions that are quite detailed, so we will use them.
We turn the pages to Russian (it is usually the second language in the brochure) and begin to configure. First you need to inform the Internet. To do this, you will need the settings provided by your provider upon connection. However, if your Internet connection is via adsl-modem, the settings will be significantly simplified. Now turn on the browser and enter the following numbers in the address bar: 192.168.0.1. The router receives this address at the factory, perhaps we will change it later.
In the login window that appears, enter the required data. They are in the instructions, but for this router they are ordinary: admin in both fields. Press "Enter" to confirm and you will be taken to main screen DIR 615. All parameter settings are displayed here. Can be customized in the floor automatic mode, using the buttons on the left, but it’s better to check and make all the settings yourself. Click “Advanced settings” in the lower right corner and proceed to the step-by-step setup. Usually the language is picked up correctly. If it is not Russian that opens, you can correct it using the button on the far right.
Internet setup
Let’s immediately make a reservation that if the Internet cable is connected to the modem, and not to the DIR 615, the setup is greatly simplified. The difference will be that if the Internet goes through a modem, then you can select static in the router or the rest will be picked up by itself. If there is no modem, we will configure access to the network in the DIR 615 itself. Opens via the Wan link in the “Network” block in a newly opened window. Follow the link and select the connection type. Most providers use PPPoE. Select the connection type in the top field. Then just below the port and name (this is most likely needed for you). In order for your provider to recognize the router and allow it to access the network, sometimes you need to replace the MAC. We do this a little lower in the “Ethernet” section. If you connected the router to the same network through which you previously accessed the network, click the “clone MAC” button. In the figure below it is not labeled; in this firmware version it is located to the right of the MTU -1492 field
In the "PPP" section, enter the user name, password and set the MTU value to 1492. This data is provided by the provider when connecting, and if the MTU value is higher than specified, there may be problems with the network. We set the remaining parameters as in the picture below.
Let’s scroll further, in the “Miscellaneous” block we put two checkboxes: NAT is required, it is also advisable to enable “Firewall” - additional protection when working on the network. This is the same firewall or firewall, but built into the router. They are included in the picture below.
Save all settings by clicking on “Apply”. The main part is done. In a new browser tab, you can open, for example, the Yandex search engine.
Wi-Fi setup
If we have a laptop or smartphone, they can also access the Internet through the router. To do this, return to the main window DIR settings 615. is produced in a block that is called that way. Click on " General settings" and in the window that opens, select "Enable".
After saving the changes “Edit”, we will return to the main window. Now in the same block we will follow the link “Basic settings”. Here you need to set the network name (your smartphone will see it when searching for a network). Click “Change” again.
Actually, that’s all, if you live in a private house, the smart device will catch not only next to the router. If you are in an apartment and do not want your neighbors to use your connection, you need to protect it with a password. From the main window, follow the “Security Settings” link. Set the settings as shown in the picture below. Enter your password. Click “Change”.
Now those wishing to connect to your network must provide a password. You will also have to specify it, so you need to save the password.
That, in fact, is all that is needed for normal operation DIR 615 wifi setup done, now you need to try to find it on your laptop/smartphone new network and connect to it.
We can put an end to this. You can figure out the stand and try placing the router on its edge. We looked at the main operating parameters of DIR 615. Setting up other parameters is done according to the same principle and is described in detail in the instructions.
Conclusion
In conclusion, let’s touch on the issue of resetting DIR 615 settings. You may not need it, but it’s worth considering. The reset button is located on the back of the router in the form of a small hole in a circle labeled “reset”, next to the power socket. With the router turned on, use a paper clip or pin to press it (it is in this hole) and hold it for a minute. Once released, the router will begin to reboot, after which you can reconfigure the Internet, wi-fi and other settings.
Often, in such complex equipment as a router, some internal software errors occur. As a result, the device simply stops working normally - it does not “distribute” the Internet or simply does not allow you to connect to it. Allow this difficult situation possible in various ways. One of the simplest is reboot.
Reboot options
Run RestartrouterD—LinkDIR615 can be done in two ways:
Program
For many not very experienced users, such a question as reboot causes problems. D-Link router DIR 615. This operation is extremely simple, it does not require any special skills or abilities from the person performing it.
Process soft reset carried out as follows:
After this, the router will automatically reboot. It should be remembered that if you have previously configured or entered any parameters, they must be saved.
You can also do this in the “System” section by selecting “Saveand Restart” - save and restart. This operation will save all important data in volatile memory.

Hardware
Performing a manual reboot is required in emergency cases, when for some reason you cannot use the web interface.
Implement this operation can be done in two ways:
At the back of the DIR 615 case there is a “Power” button. Using it, you can turn off the power supply to the device, even if the plug is inserted into a 220 (V) socket. After turning off the power, you need to press again this button. The device will turn on. This restart method is the fastest.
Sometimes it happens that the entered settings lead to serious software error during operation of the router. Moreover, these settings are saved in volatile memory and do not allow a restart programmatically, because I can't log into the web interface. The manufacturer has provided for such a situation. It is for this case that there is special button reset to default settings.
To perform this operation you will need a long thin object. For example, an awl or a ballpoint pen.
When something like this is available, proceed as follows:
- take the device body in your hands and turn it towards you on the side where the LAN ports are located;
- Find the button recessed into the plastic - press it and hold for 10 seconds.
After completing this operation, the device will reboot. U this method there is one drawback - all previously entered settings will be erased.
Restarting the D-Link DIR 615 is quite simple. But you should remember that not all methods allow you to save settings entered by the user.
