Choose a quality D-Link router. Setup and Connectivity

More and more of our compatriots choose a router for the organization of the home network D-Link. Setup, connection and verification of its operability will be considered in the framework of this article. Beginning computer experts have problems with this equipment, from choosing a router and ending with its testing. This material should help in resolving such issues.

Selection

At once it is necessary to be defined with that, for what purposes it is planned to use the router. If you plan to use it to organize a small home network, which will be connected to the Internet only through a twisted pair, then the best way for this purpose is the DIR-320. This is a budget model. Configuring the D-Link 320 router is much simpler due to the lack of various additional options. In some cases, use combined access (for example, using twisted pair and 3G modem). If the first method does not work, then you can use the second method to enter the global web. For these purposes it is better to use the DIR-615 already. He has, besides two antennas, also a USB connector, to which a 3G modem is connected. Configuring the D-Link 615 router is therefore more complex.

Connectivity

The easiest way is to make the commutation from the DIR-320. We will consider it. First, we choose the location of the router. To him without problems, the wire from the provider should be pulled up and the rosette must be located nearby. Then you need to connect the incoming wire to the gray jack on the back of the router (below it is the inscription "INTERNET"). Next, plug the power supply with the appropriate pin and install it into the socket. The cable that comes with the kit is connected to a stationary PC (you may need to temporarily transfer it to the place where the router is installed) or a laptop. This completely connects our D-Link router. The software component setting is the next step for the DIR-320. If you are using D-Link 615, the difference will be to connect a 3G modem. It is installed in the USB connector on the back side.

Customize

The next step is to turn on the computer and the D-Link router. The configuration can be continued only after the download of each of them has finished. Then start any browser on the PC and enter it in its address line "192.168.0.1". This will prompt you for a login and password. In the first of them, enter "admin". The second one is left empty. Fill the captcha and press "Log In". Then run the installation wizard. To do this, we find a button that ends with a "Wizard". Click "Next". In the next window, enter the password and click on the same button. Then we set the time zone and click on "Next". In the next two windows, you must specify the connection type and select the network settings. This information is indicated in the contract that you entered into with the provider. In extreme cases, you can call the hotline and consult the operator. In the last window click on "Connect". It's all over.

Test

Next, you need to check the efficiency of the local area network. Turn off the router and PC. Turn off the wire, if you use a wireless connection, turn everything on again. After downloading, we search for available networks and connect to our (its name corresponds to the model of the router). We make a click on it and then enter the password and wait for the connection to be established. Then just start the browser and enter any address and press "Enter". After that, the page should open. This completes the setup. Now you can start browsing the pages on the Internet.

Conclusion

This article describes how to connect to the Internet D-Link router. The configuration of its program part is also described in detail. There is nothing complicated in this procedure, and it is capable even of a beginning computer scientist.
