WiFi setting nothing particularly difficult, even if the user has no special disk, which should be supplied. But when installing correct parameters, it is necessary to remember some nuances, we are talking about and go.

D-Link DSL: WiFi Setup: Where to start?

The very first in future configuration is to connect and initialize the device in the computer system.

Please note: if the device was purchased at Rostelecom, the services of which are supposed to be used in the future, the special optical carrier (CD) is applied to the device, which contains the device drivers and "Equipment Wizard". If the device was bought separately, it all should be a disk with related software, but without the "master". This, of course, is not the most terrible option, since, as it turns out, it is not possible to carry out the connection of manually difficulty. To do this, follow the instructions that are given below (use this instruction You can for any compatible devices).

Connect to computer

For modem / rOTETER D-LINK wiFi Setup must begin with the connection. The very first condition is the availability of a telephone line (good it is not a problem). The second condition is the installation of a splitter, or the so-called splitter. IN this case This is that when entering the Internet, the telephone line is not blocked.

On the splitter itself there are two jacks for connecting the corresponding RJ-45 cables. In principle, confused something difficult, because they are marked with inscriptions of connections, although they look completely equally.

Installation of Drivers

When electrical circuit sequential connection " computer device \u003e Modem\u003e Splitter\u003e telephone network"Will be fully assembled and earned, setting up a WiFi-router DSL 2640U will be reduced to define the device in operating system And set the correct parameters.

Drivers, in theory, can be installed directly from the disk, which comes with the device when buying. If it is not (it was damaged or lost), download software You can either on the provider's website, or on the resource of the manufacturer of this equipment.

Log in to the interface

Now you need to enter the router control system. To do this, you can use any Internet browser, in the address bar of which it is tedious to register a combination of 192.168.1.1 ( standard procedure For all devices of this type). In login and password lines, Admin is specified.

Setting up Internet connection

If the user who uses the services of the Rostelecom provider, has a special disk, which was bought with a modem, the setting question is solved completely simple.

It is enough to insert the media into the drive, followed by the launch of the "Equipment Setup Wizard", developed by Rostelkom. As already understandable, all parameters and options for the connected device will be automatically exhibited.

But, let's say no disc, download drivers from the developer site also failed. What to do in this case? In such a situation will help manual setting. Do not be afraid, nothing complicated in the process of setting the necessary parameters is not foreseen.

At the first stage, for the DSL 2640U modem, Rostelecom configuration (WiFi) implies the installation type setting. This parameter should be installed on PPPoE. Unlike the Bridge mode ("Bridge"), it will allow connecting to wireless network Even when the main terminal is turned off to which the router is connected.

After that, specify the values \u200b\u200bof the PCI and VCI parameters, following the definition of the regions of the user's location regions, we register the login and password specified in the contract, put a tick on the Keep Alive paragraph and go to the LCP parameters.

For intervals, set the value 35, for failures - 2. As additional setting The rector is recommended to use the IGMP string.

D-Link DSL 2640U: Setting "Rzotelecom" (WiFi)

Internet set up. It's time to take care to use the capabilities of the modem in full. As it is already clear, it is both the modem, and the router. Thus, it can be created with it wireless connection via WiFi, which can be used in the presence of any other computer or mobile device.

In router D-Link WiFi When entering the equipment settings automatically requests a password. This applies only to the most web interface of the device, and not to protect access to virtual network. Immediately you can use another router menu.

Here setting the WiFi DSL 2640U password or login offers to use automatically, but they need to be changed (if it really needs).

Passwords and encryption

Now the most basic! When entering the Wireless tab, select the WPAPSK type, in the selection field of the Encryption data encryption algorithm, we put an arbitrary name of the created connection in the SSID field, specify and confirm the password for accessing the virtual network (Pre-Shared Key) - the key if literally preventing the penetration into the network or this computer terminal outside.

Note at that time that sometimes the password input system may be ineffective. The key will have to invent a unique one. The fact is that the combinations like "once-two-three-four" or QWERTY do not pass here. The security system perceives them as unrealized and potentially wagged first. However, on the 2640U, the setting can, of course, not independently, but using the user intervention. To do this, it is enough to go to the above address in the basic parameters of the device and simply change the combination in the appropriate line. After that, it will be necessary to reboot and computer and router.

When restarting, you can check the status and networks and devices that provide communication using the Devmgmt.msc in the "Run" console), or simply going to the "Network Management Center and common access"Where the connection must be activated.

Brief conclusions

As a result, regarding the configuration of the devices above the mentioned type of recommendations, it is not particularly given. Practical all settings for installing basic parameters and options are standard.

The only thing that I would like to pay attention is to choose a type of connection. Bridge access is better not to use at all. For example, you have a router (modem) connected to home computer (stationary system block). As soon as you turn it off, the connection to WiFi disappears (this is when using the Bridge circuit). In the case of installing PPPOE, even with the main terminal disabled terminal, the connection through the router will be carried out anyway.

Naturally, it is worth paying special attention to the creation and saving passwords, making, for example, backup The means of the system itself by at least the elementary storage of the recovery point. If a windows tools You do not want to use, you can use automatic update programs like Advanced System Care, GLARY UTILIIES. or even iobit UninstallerThat is just suggesting before starting your own operations to use a recovery point tool if, as they say, something and somewhere will go wrong. But in general (this is marked in all reviews on the forums) problems can consist only in the communication settings, and in no way in the current Internet connections.

As you already, probably, understood from the title of the article "... d Link 2640U Setup, firmware", will talk about setting up the router from companies D LINK, 2640U. This model allows you to create a full-fledged home wireless network using an ADSL coming signal. So, proceed to the setting D Link 2640u. .

Connecting Modem D Link DSL 2640U Computer, Laptop

There are two ways to connect the modem D Link DSL 2640U to the network card.

Method first:

Direct connection of the ADSL wire (the wire that spent your Internet provider). We take the wire and insert the router to the ADSL port.

Then Pach-Court (the wire is cut from two ends of the convectors RJ-45) is one end to insert into one of the LAN ports, and the other is to the computer's network card or laptop.

The method of the second:

The second method is different from the first thing that if you have a wire for an ADSL, not only the Internet, but also telephone. Then you need to use the "Split", which comes complete with the modem.

ADSL Wires for which the Internet and a telephone is inserted inserting into the "Lein" port (in the figure indicates number 1). Further, in the socket marked as "ADSL" (in Figure 2), connect "D LINK DSL 2640U" by the second to the wire. And the port "Phone" (in the figure figure 3) connects to your phone.

Then connect the modem to the computer as in the first method.

After connecting, we will need to configure our network card on your computer. In detail about it you will learn.

Connecting Modem Setup D Link 2640U

After connecting and configured network card You can start configuring the router itself. You can make it using the setting disk that comes in the kit. Everything is simple, insert the disk into the computer, we wait for the upload window to load and then make a setting on the prompts. But I don't really like this way, it is better to do everything from the modem operating interface itself.

Let's go to the working interface of the modem 2640U. Open the browser you use, in the address bar We write 192.168.1.1, the window will be displayed, you will be asked to enter "Username" / "Password" - by default it is admin / admin.

We enter and click the "OK" button.

AdSL Connection Setup

After you have entered, the "D LINK DSL 2640U" router setup window opens

Now you need to configure the ADSL connection. To do this, you need network settings that provided your provider (they will be listed in the contract or contact those support). Then we go to the "Network" item to the "Connection" and click "Add"

Here you need to set the "connection name" it is better to leave the default. Next, select "Connection Type". On the this moment The most popular connection type is "PPPOE". Also, some providers use VPI and VCI. After that, you need to enter the data that your provider provided you. And click the "Save" button. You can all check the Internet !!!

Setting up Wi-Fi on D Link DSL 2640U

Now proceed with the most long-awaited wireless configuration item.

Select the "WiFi" item, then "General Settings" and put a tick speaking about what you want to enable a wireless connection. Click the "Change" button.

Now go to " basic settings"Here we need to specify the name of our network opposite the inscription" SSID ". Click "Change" - this is the most secure encryption method. Also, do not forget to specify the password, opposite the inscription "System", choose the item " save and restart" After rebooting you can enter Wi Fi. If you do not know how to do it, described in detail.

I advise you to watch the video.

Configuring the D-Link DSL-2640U router

.

In a major city, the consumer may get confused in the choice of the provider: here you can connect to fiber, and on a twisted pair, and even by a coaxial cable. Tariffs, packages, gigabytes - the head goes around. In a small town, everything is easier: the provider is only one and it provides broadband Internet access on the telephone line using ADSL technology. With it, you can get a connection with a speed of 512 kbps to 12 Mbps per second, and the phone can be used independently. To organize such a connection, an ADSL modem is needed, for example, D-Link 2640U, which will be discussed in our article.

Packaging and configuration of the router

The router was produced in several versions (revisions), but its equipment and packaging always remained unchanged.

Strict and laconic packaging design suggests that inside is a high-quality professional product.

In the box with colorful printing in the corporate colors D-Link attached pallet from pressed cardboard. In his recesses are posted:

Appearance and description of indicators

Thanks to the LED elements made on the front panel, you can learn about the state of the modem even without a computer. Nine indicators displays network activity, ADSL status, as well as wireless status. Consider them in the order of location on the modem from left to right.

On the front of the modem there are LED indicators for which you can determine the current mode of operation of the device.

Table: D-LINK 2640U modem router status indicators

The appearance of the modem router changed along with the change in the general corporate style of D-Link devices, and together with the design, a hardware filling changed significantly.

Modem Connection and Basic Setup

Unlike cable providers providing access to the Internet over a twisted pair or fiber, XDSL technology minimizes preparatory work on your territory. Ideally, your telephone line will simply remotely configure and you will not even see the living installer. All you need to do is to properly connect a modem router, given some nuances.

Equipment on the other end of your line looks much more impressive simply modem router

Connecting a modem to the telephone line

To ensure the possibility of simultaneous operation of the Internet channel and a wired phone, both of these devices are connected to the line through a special frequency filter-splitter - splitter. One splitter connector connects to the telephone line, and the other two serve to attach the modem and the phone. Do not mistake when connecting devices. If you confuse connectors - neither the modem nor the phone will not work.

Frequency filter - splitter - serves for simultaneous connection Modem and phone

A few years ago, I helped to configure and connect the ADSL modem to the family of my acquaintances. It would seem, what can there be pitfalls here? But the modem stubbornly did not want to connect, whatever the settings I installed. The problem was hidden where no one was waiting for it: the telephone line was on the blocker - an old device that allows you to cling two phone numbers On one pair of wires. If you have a telephone with a block - order a special version of the splitter at the Internet provider, which will allow you to connect your modem. The regular splitter from the kit on such a line will not be able to work.

Connecting a modem to a computer

The computer can connect to the modem both with a cable with RJ-45 connectors (Patch Cord) and Wi-Fi network. For a stationary PC, which is in one place, is preferable to connect using a cable. The connection speed will be higher, and no interference from neighbors will not affect the connection. Any of four modem LAN ports is connected to the computer port.

If the lengths of the patch-cord are complete with the modem, you need to buy two RJ-45 plug, a piece of the UTP-8 cable of the desired length and enhance the connectors yourself.

Repeat cable crimping must be carried out standard scheme Distribution of colors on connecting contacts

Settings of the network adapter

Almost any router works both as a DHCP server, that is, distributes the IP address to client devices. Addresses are issued from the range specified in the router settings. To work correctly, you must configure the network adapter to automatically get the TCP / IP address and addresses dNS server. On the portable devicessuch as tablets and smartphones, automatic addresses enabled by default and to translate network interface in manual mode, It is necessary to try hard. On computers under windows control You can encounter a situation where the network adapter is registered static (permanent) address. This can lead to a conflict with another device on the network, which receives the address automatically. The result will be loss of access to wi-Fi network (and the Internet too) on both devices.

So that such an error does not occur, you need to check the properties wireless adapter and switch (if necessary) to automatically receive addresses.

1. Click on the "Start" button with the right mouse button and from the user's menu, select Network Connections.

   After clicking on the "Start" button, a menu will appear in which you want to select "Network Connections"

2. In the window network connections Select the desired adapter and with the help of the right mouse button, open its properties.

   The properties of the network adapter contain TCP / IP protocol settings.

3. From the list of protocols, select TCP / IP and double-click the settings.

   The IP address of the computer on the local network and the DNS servers addresses are set in the TCP / IP protocol settings

4. Configure the automatic receipt of the network address and the DNS server address and click OK.

   Automatic address receiving is set by selecting the appropriate items in the settings switches.

Modem Web Interface, Setup and Access Protection

The modem web interface, with which most of its settings are performed, is located at 192.168.1.1. Username - Admin, and the default password is empty, that is, it is not necessary to enter it. To protect the network from third-party intervention, change the access password immediately after initial setting modem.

1. Open the web interface by entering the address 192.168.1.1 in the Internet browser.
2. Switch to advanced settings mode.

   On the main page The modem web interface is the rapid settings and connection status.

3. In the "System" section, go to the "Administrator Password" link.

   Access to system parameters is hidden in extended settings.

4. Enter the password and click the Apply button.

   Enter a new password you need twice to avoid random errors

Configuring Internet connection and Wi-Fi configuration

Early versions of the router could only be connected to the ADSL channel, and in order to use the services of a cable provider - a difficult OpenWRT firmware procedure and some skills of working with a soldering iron were required. Modern release does not require any "dances with a tambourine" and allows you to configure any Ethernet port as an incoming WAN port.

Setting up DSL connection via telephone cable

Creating an ADSL connection is replete with a multitude of settings, the value of which can be incomprehensible to the simple user. So install it better through the master fast settings Click'n'Connect, which in automatic mode Tests the telephone line, adjusts the connection parameters under it, and you will only have to enter your authorization parameters.

1. Click Click'n'Connect on the main web interface screen of the router.
2. Make sure the "Telephone line-splitter-modem" chain is connected, and the DSL indicator on the panel is continuously burning with green.

   After you check all connections, click "Next"

3. Select the connection type. In most cases, this is PPPoE.

   In the overwhelming majority of cases, ADSL connections operate according to the PPPoE protocol

4. Select the ADSL interface port. When you first connect the router creates and configures one port. You can use it.

   Select the Created Automatically Connection Port

5. Change, if you want, the connection name to more meaningful. Enter the authorization settings: Login and password.
6. Check the report on the settings and click the "Apply" button in the lower right corner of the window.

   Check the data entered and save the changes.

Internet Setup via Ethernet Cable

The new modem router firmware is the full feature to assign one of the four LAN ports as a WAN port. You can do this with a few simple steps. In our instructions, the LAN No. 4 will be configured as WAN as WAN.

1. Connect the router to the network port 1.2 or 3.
2. Update the firmware of the router to the last actual version. You can download it from the D-Link FTP server.

3. Switch to Advanced Settings Mode from Main Screen

4. In the "Advanced" section, select "Interface Grouping".

   Go to the Interface Grinding Window by clicking on the Relevant link

5. Click on the image of the selected (fourth) LAN-port with the mouse and from the context menu, select the "Make Wan" command. In the drop-down list at the bottom of the page, select "One Service to One Union" item and click the Save button.

   Choose which network ports to make WAN-Ohm

6. Go to the Network / WAN page and click the Add button. Set the desired authorization protocol, enter the login and password received from the provider.
7. Restart the router and plug the Internet provider cable to LAN-Port No. 4.

Since this modem mode is still abnormal, when the device is turned on, a situation may occur in which the modem will assign the IP address to the clients from the external network to clients, and not from the DHCP server pool. There will be no access to the Internet, how the local network does not work. To do this, disable the Internet provider's cable before turning on or restarting the modem-router, and connect it back in 15-20 seconds after the modem has already loaded.

Wi-Fi Setup (Creating Access Point, Password Change)

The second step after configuring the connection to the provider will turn on and configuring the wireless access point, which will allow you to distribute the Internet to devices with Wi-Fi module: laptops, tablets, smartphones.

1. Open the Internet browser and go to the router web interface at 192.168.1.1.
2. Click the "Advanced Settings" button.
3. Make sure that the wireless connection slider is in the green (enabled position) position.

   Make sure that wi-Fi mode Enabled - This signals the position of the special slider located at the top of the Wi-Fi button

4. Open the basic wireless connection settings. Here specify the name of the wireless network, the broadcast channel, as well as the name of the guest network. Guest network clients will receive the Internet, but will not be able to connect to the local network.

   Enter the SSID identifier, select the broadcast channel and set the name of the guest network.

5. Return to the main screen and open the security settings of the wireless network. Specify the type of encryption and password access to Wi-Fi.

   Set the type of network customer identification, and also come up with and enter the access password.

6. Returning to the main screen, click on the Saving Settings link in the upper right corner.

When choosing a password for a wireless network, consider that the long key increases the computing load on the router processor, the capabilities of which are not limitless. The result may be a significant drop in network speed. Optimal size Key - 8-13 characters.

Port Mapping

Some users need to access the resources of their local network from the Internet. This may be necessary to organize access to home network folders, view pictures from a home IP camera, remote administration programs Remote Administrator or Team Viewer and still dozen necessary applications. To get such an opportunity, you need to make the so-called port forwarding when the router connects the virtual cable of the external network port with a specific port of the internal. Configure port promotion is easy using the modem web interface features.

Open the settings menu virtual servers in the section "Firewall"

In the port configuration dialog, follow the following fields:

Modem Setup In Bridge Mode

Despite the rich functionality, DLink DSL-2640U is more modem than a full router, its computational capabilities are low and the connection of the three-four network clients can create problems with its speed. In this case, it makes sense to use the classic sufficient power router to build a network, and the DSL-2640U is translated into the bridge mode and connect to it.

Possible problems with the router and their solution

DSL-2640U modem router - device initial levelpositioned for home use. The operation of the modem in the quality of the local network switch router will create an increased load on its processor, which will lead to a reduction in speed and possible problems in the form of freezing, periodic Wi-Fi disconnection and even premature failure.

For a long time I had to operate DSL-2640U as a router in a small office. Four Plus Computer Two Network Printer and Customer Smartphones created an endless load on it: the modem overheated and the VIS, every hour and a half it had to be turned off. Establish a new router the authorities did not want - the maternity capitalists were. I had to cut a round hole in the upper module lid and install the cooling fan from the faulty motherboard. The heat regime came to normal, the router was able to work without a failure throughout the day.

Table: Typical DSL-2640U problems and removal methods

The D-LINK 2640U modem router is a balanced and accessible solution for access to the ADSL technology. If you lack the speed of the Internet, and most importantly - you need the same high speeds Both downloads and returns - it is worth thinking about the transition to another provider providing services on a twisted pair or optical channel. Acquisition of a more powerful ADSL router makes sense only when you have the need to create home network from large quantity devices.

Wi-Fi Router D Link DSL 2640U is specifically designed for houses and offices with a small area. The router provides quick and easy creation Broadband access to the global network and simultaneous use of the ADSL channel by multiple devices.

The article will be described by a modem, or rather, ways to configure the D-Link DSL-2640U router. Rostelecom and other providers require almost the same connection parameters. The processes are fairly lungs and without problems are carried out even those people who first work with such technique. This device is considered universal, as it works with Ethernet and LAN ports.

General

What can be said about the quality of work? Unfortunately, from buyers there are a lot of complaints. One of the common: when working with the factory firmware of the initial version, the wireless access point does not work. Because of this, immediately after the purchase will have to update the software. This problem is the cause of many other problems - a weak signal, disgusting Wi-Fi, constant failures and so on. Already on recent versions Firmware Similar problems are rare, the manufacturer was able to eliminate most of the shortcomings. The router already works stably, without hang, the signal is excellent, without interference and interrupts.

Equipment

By buying a modem, you need to check whether all the components (equipment) are normal. The box should have the device itself, splitter (or tee), power and cable for LAN connections. The latter can be gray, green or blue, depending on which version of the modem is purchased. It is desirable for more comfortable work to purchase a telephone cable. Its connectors should be the same as the Splitter. The modem is best to install near the computer, since the existing LAN cable is not different in the set long.

Connection scheme

After all the preparations for the modem connection are completed, you need to perform a specific sequence of actions.

You must turn off the phone, connect it to the splitter. You need to do this using the LINE port. Do not forget about the cord that comes in the kit. We are talking about cable with Phone output. It is necessary to connect it to the phone.

Next, you should use the previously purchased cable. It must be connected to the splitter and the modem. After - connect the device to the power source. Next, you should connect the modem to the computer using the LAN cable.

Log in to the control panel

Having understood with how to create a connection scheme and connect a modem with a computer, you need to go to the configuration of the device itself.

First you need to restart the router, after throwing it over the parameters to the factory. Only after that you can configure D-Link DSL-2640U. How to do it? You need to find the RESET button, take any thin fixture (needle, paper clips, and so on) and click on it. To make it easier when it is searching, it is necessary to clarify - it is located on the back of the LAN port and connector for the power cable. The modem must be constantly on. Once the device restarts, the indicators will stop chaotically flash, you can proceed to the configuration process.

You must prepare data that will allow you to change the parameters of the router. We are talking about the login and password of the modem, its IP address. You also need a browser, in the address bar of which should be entered by the latest stipulated data. It should be noted that it is possible to do this only on the computer that is connected by the wire to the D-Link DSL-2640U RA modem. Setup should be continued.

In the browser you need to enter the IP address of the network: 192.168.1.1. It is standard. The user will open the menu in which you want to enter a username and password, then it will open access to the setting.

If all connections and data are correct, then the owner will be able to enter the control panel. You can immediately see the basic information about the device: the network, the DSL state and the general indicators of the router.

If the control panel opened in any foreign language, then you need to pay attention to the upper right corner. There will be special buttonresponsible for changing the interface. It represents in which you need to search for Russian. Then the configuration of the Internet D-Link DSL-2640U will be done much easier.

It is best to immediately change the password to access the modem settings. You need to go to "Extended Settings", then in the "System" menu. There will be a "Administrator Password" button. Do not forget to click on the Save button.

How to configure connection?

Setting up D-Link DSL-2640U and its connection is carried out using two methods. First - WAN, the second - click'n'Connect. In the article we describe only the last option. The fact is that it is much easier for those people who carry out the configuration of the Internet and work with the modem for the first time.

Click'n'Connect: Customize modem

This setting method will take a lot more time than the debug option via WAN, however it is much easier and will easily be easily traced where an error is made. In order to begin the process of changing the parameters, you need to find the tab of the same name in the control panel.

Check if there is a connection that is supplied by splitter in the modem. In order to do this, you need to pay attention to the DSL indicator - it should burn. What if the light bulb does not shine? You need to check the contacts. Is the plug to the outlet, the wire to the separator, the router and the computer are connected correctly.
