Then you need to configure the network on your computer/laptop to automatic acquisition of an IP address and DNS server. After this, we connect via web interface at Dlink (this applies to those cases if you closed the web interface after updating the firmware). We enter into the browser (it is advisable to use Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox) 192.168.0.1 login admin, password admin (default).
After this we get to the web interface of Dlink Dir-300 NRU. Click on the button « Wi-Fi Master settings wireless network» .

In the first settings window you need to check the box "Turn on wireless connection», I think it’s clear why :). MBSSID parameter (allows one access point to serve up to four wireless networks at once with various settings) and BSSID (this is the physical address of the access point (MAC address) for the corresponding network.). At home, these functions are used extremely rarely, which is why they are initially turned off, and we will leave them as such. Click "Further".

In the next window in the line "Hide access point" We don’t check the box, write the name of the wireless network in the SSID line, select the country, leave the channel on auto or indicate free, how to determine a free channel is described in the article How to select/change the wireless channel on the router/router .

In order for all devices, both new and outdated, to connect to the Wi-Fi networks, select network authentication "WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK mixed".

In the PSK encryption key line, enter the password that you will need to enter in order to be connected to the Wi-Fi network (I recommend using complex password, at least 8 characters with letters, numbers and special characters). All other settings relate to encryption and I recommend leaving them at default.

In the next window we look at all the settings we specified, if everything is specified correctly, click "Save" otherwise press "Back" and fix it.

Now you need to save the settings on the Dlink Dir-300 NRU, to do this, press the button at the top "Save".

We hear from users that the D-Link DIR 300 “crashes” during operation - that is, it spontaneously reboots or freezes for an indefinite period of time. After studying the information on specialized forums, you can find that the problem is known to specialists and can be solved by replacing the firmware. Freezing can occur due to the user's fault if files are downloaded over a wireless network by several devices with a total speed equal to the Internet channel width.
