The D-Link DIR-615 setting has not yet been described as detailed as this time. In this publication, we will consider how to set up a fairly common router of the company D-LINK DIR-615. In the article I will refer, as an example, on D-Link DIR-615 / a. But even if you have a router of another brand, not fundamentally, because in many ways the settings are identical to all. Therefore, this manual is applicable for most D-Lіnk models. I will try to put everything in detail and affordable.

It is not possible to describe the features of the router itself for a long time, if necessary, you can read about DIR-615 / A if you follow the link located slightly above. I will only note that this model copes perfectly with its functions of the house, or in not too large offices. With it, uninterrupted Internet is served on computers, tablets, wireless telephones.

By part of the setting of D-Lіnk DIR-615, it is fairly easy to implement. Provided that your Internet provider applies a connection method of a dynamic ip, then you just need to connect and turn on the router, and the Internet access will be available. It will only be necessary to put a secret code on the WI-FI, and change the name, if necessary. The only thing that does not suit me is that almost all editions change (visually) setting the D-Lіnk parameters, that is, the control panel. Thus, the settings of your router may not look as shown in this publication. Although it is fixable, just need to reflash it.

Setting up D-Link DIR-615

We act according to the following scheme:

1. Connect the router and enter the D-Lіnk DIR-615 settings page.
2. Configure an Internet connection on the router
3. Configure a wireless network and change the password combination.

And now consider each of the stages in more detail.

Connect the D-Lіnk DIR-615 and go to the settings

Turn on the router, initially connecting it to the power source. Provided that the indicators did not light up in the foreground, it is possible that the power button is turned off. In case setting D-Lіnk DIR-615will be carried out through the cable, find the power cord, and connect the access point to the computer (the cable is sold as part of the router). One side of the cord is connecting in Lan.the black connector (in the first of four), and connect another to the laptop or computer network adapter. Internet cable should be inserted into Wan. The connector that is painted in yellow.

In the event that there is no cord, or a computer with a network card, you can make settings using a wireless network. In this case, even the phone or tablet is suitable.

Connecting a router to a wireless network for adjusting

Make an Internet connection under the usual name"DIR-615"

It can stand protection. In this case, use the password, which is indicated at the bottom of the router

Then you must open the control panel of the router. But before, I recommend, reset all the existing settings, so that in case of establishment, they did not give a failure. Thus, our router will customize "with a clean sheet".

Reset settings on D-Link DIR-615

It is not difficult to reset the settings. To do this, take a sharp object and using it to press the button Ryset,which is slightly deepened in the system case, and wait a bit. Then stop pressing and wait for the router reboot.

Enter any Internet login program and transition to the Internet address 192.168.0.1. The window will populate in which the login and secret code will be requested. If you have not changed this data, then you gain admіn.both rows and opens the control panel page of your router.

It may be that the settings there will be in English, which can be easily changed to a more suitable and understandable (Russian, Ukrainian).

Also, the window can also jump out, which indicates the initial password, with which the input is in the D-Lіnk control panel. Then enter any cipher invented by you, and repeat the same in the next line. And be sure to remember, or better write, as it will need to be entered each time the router settings.

I recommend you immediately before tune, download new software on your D-LINK. Read in detail how to do it, you canthis article . But you can configure further and without firmware, if we say it will be hard to do it.

After entering the password, we immediately entered the settings, you can now configure the router.

The annoyance of the Internet configuration process on the D-Lіnk DIR-615 router

1. First of all, it is necessary learn which connection technology uses your provider. Active IP address, fixed, PPPOE (Practicing House.RY, and other Internet providers), L2TP (Applies Beeline). In my articles, I told how to find out the connection technology. It is possible to learn this information on the main website of the provider, or even call the company.

Provided that your Internet connection is made according to the widely used method of dynamic ip, the router must distribute the signal as soon as the wire from the company will be connected to it. Then you will need to simply make the wireless network settings (how to do this later). If you have a static ip address, then you will be configured.

1. Find the tab Start— Click'n'Connect.. Check the Internet connection - Cable and select Further.
2. From the list that appears, find the desired connection. If, let's say, your PRPOE connection, and another Internet provider gives in addition to this, then we make the choice of PPPOE + static ip. Provided that the ip address is not provided, then we put the selection icon opposite PprOe + dynamic IP. Similarly, we do if the connection is L2TR.
3. Next, specify the data of the IP addresses, if it is provided to you (otherwise this window will not). And press the button Further.

1. Further, the "Address of Local Resources of the Provider" can be opened. If you do not know what it is, or you just do not want to make additional addresses, then click Further. Retires the window with a query of the connection name and user, and input and confirm the password. This data gives your Internet provider. In order to make more settings, go to the tab detail

Then an Internet connection and the reality of the Xandex selection will be inspected. But it is already if you want. All the same settings can be changed.

The settings on the example of PROE for the D-Link DIR-615 router are considered. Your settings may be different.

If you configured the access point, and in the end there is no Internet, it is displayed "without access to the Internet", or there is no access to the pages, then this problem is related to the settings from the provider company. Check, it may incorrectly indicated the type of connection, or any other data.

Therefore, with a compound PPPoe, PPTP, L2TR and dynamic IP is more complicated than the static ip connection method.

Very important! Provided that earlier you went online with high-speed data exchange, now you are, in fact, there is no need. Such an Internet - the connection will carry out your router and only distribute it on a wire and wireless network.

Change the settings from the provider using the same CliSk'n'Connect, or by clicking on Net —Wan.At the same time, having selected and change the required compound.

Provided that everything is in order, and the Internet connection through the router is available, then go to the installation of the wireless network parameters.

Visual example of setting Wi-Fi and changing the password combination on D-Lіnk DIR-615

Now we will need to simply change the name of the wireless network, and come up with another secret code for the security of the WІ-FI connections.

Become on WІ-FI - basic settings. Here you can change the name of our wireless connection. In line SSID.enter the network name - Internet, and select Apply.

Next, open the menu Wi-Fi — Security Settingsand in the string "PSK encryption key"we enter the code, it will be further applied to connect to the WI-FI network every time. The secret password must contain at least 8 characters. Remember, or somewhere write it, so that you do not forget

Molded settings must be saved. System - Save. This may be the final stage of setting up the router D-Link DIR-615. If no settings

you will no longer exercise, then make it reboot. The system is to restart.

Now the WІ-FI network is configured. In addition, you may need to see more details on setting up Wi-Fi.

There is also an opportunity to change the adminipol, the use of which is needed to enter the router settings. To do this, use the tab System - Administrator password.

Enter the invented code twice and select the button. Apply.Made actions be sure to save.

Remember either back the secret code, so that you do not have to drop all settings again, since without a password, the input to the control panel will be unavailable.

The D-Link DIR-300 router has on board the Wi-Fi 802.11n access point and allows you to organize a wireless network at home through which mobile gadgets can go online and access each other files. The correct adjustment of the router not only helps to avoid hacking the home network "Cleells", but also allows you to noticeably increase the speed of Wi-Fi and increase the D-Link DIR-300 coating zone.

After connecting the D-Link DIR-300 router to the provider's network, you can configure Wi-Fi, set the password and distribute the Internet to wireless devices. Configuring the access point can be performed in three ways:

1. Using the Wireless Wizard Wizard;
2. Manual setting parameters;
3. Automatically through the WPS protocol.

Fast setting

The DIR-300 provides configuration using the "Wizard". This method requires minimal effort and allows you to configure Wi-Fi network for countless seconds without immersion in technical details.

To install the connection, you need to enter the web interface of the router and select the "Wireless Settings" section. Depending on the firmware, the "master" can be located in different places of the interface, but all the options and menu items in different software versions have the same name. Procedure for the work of the "Master":

Set the Access Point Network mode.

Enter the access point name - the name of the Wi-Fi network, which will be displayed on all connected devices. For security reasons, it is not recommended to leave the standard name "DIR-300".

Select the "Protected Network" item and come up with a password that the router will request from connected devices.

After performing these simple steps and applying changes, the Wi-Fi setting using the "Wizard" will be completed and the D-Link DIR-300 will be fully ready for operation.

Manual setting

Unlike quick customization, manual configuration allows you to take into account the features of the connected devices and adjacent networks, which makes it possible to improve the bandwidth and reception quality.

The basic manual configuration of the Wi-Fi-network for home use on the DIR-300 is performed in 2 stages:

1. Install the main network parameters;
2. Setting the security settings.

basic settings

The main parameters of the wireless network are located in the router control panel on the Wi-Fi - Basic Settings tab. To go to this item in the "dark gray" interface, you will need to switch to the advanced mode.

Description of functions:

• The Enable Wireless Connection option controls the access point power. In order for the devices to use WiFi-connection, the check mark must be installed.
• Turning off the broadcast of the Wi-Fi network without deactivation of the radio module may be needed when using the DIR-300 in the client mode. If you remove this tick in the standard mode, the wireless connection between the router and all devices will be interrupted.
• MBSSID and BSSID settings are configured when the router is used to simultaneously maintain multiple wireless networks. At home, such a scenario is unlikely, and if there is a single network, these parameters cannot be changed.
• If you set the checkbox "Hide Access Point", then the name of the WiFi-network will stop displaying both on other people's devices and on trusted. At the same time, the router will not stop broadcasting. To set the connection of the new client, you will need to enter the SSID name manually. This feature is implemented in D-Link DIR-300 to ensure safety.
• The selection of the channel can be entrusted to the firmware of the router, leaving the "Auto" value, but the automatic setting is not always adequate, which often leads to a drop in the wireless speed of the router. To select a manually correct channel, you need to evaluate the work of neighboring Wi-Fi networks. In the "Light" AIR-interface of the D-Link DIR-300, a histogram is selected when the channel loading is dropped.

The smaller the channel is loaded, the higher the bandwidth, and hence the wireless transmission rate. For a more detailed study of the situation, you can use one of the free programs, such as WiFi-Analyzer.

Security Setup

Professional hackers hunt for corporate secrets and they are unlikely to be interested in hacking someone's home access point. But there are lovers who can "harmouding" to choose a password to use the "free" Internet or connect to an alien webcam. Therefore, it is not necessary to neglect the elementary safety rules.

The wireless network protection parameters are located in the router control panel on the WiFi - Security Setup tab. To go to this item in the "dark gray" interface, you will need to switch to the advanced mode.

Description of functions:

• Method of network authentication, eliminating the objective possibility of hacking - WPA2. In corporate Wi-Fi networks, access via RADIUS server is used, and a pre-installed PSK key is suitable for the home network. Thus, the maximum protection will provide WPA2-PSK mode.
• Encryption key is the same password to enter on a WiFi device to connect to D-Link DIR-300. A difficult password and correct setup are the most important network security conditions. As a password, simple digital or vocabulary combinations cannot be installed as well as the date of birth. A good password contains more than 8 characters: numbers, specials and letters, taking into account the register. Regardless of the complexity, the selection of the key is only a matter of time, so it is recommended to change the password for a new one monthly.
• AES - data encryption technology. Provides the keystrocerance of the key without lowering the speed of the wireless transmission, so it is well suited for use in standard 802.11n. The value of the update period should be left by default - 3600 seconds.
• Pre-authentication through adjacent access points is used only in complex networks with multiple routers.

After performing these actions and applying the changes, the Wi-Fi protection configuration will be completed and the D-Link D-300 will be ready for safe operation.

Connection with WPS

The WPS protocol was designed to simplify the Wi-Fi network setting. For a user, the essence of the technology is that the pairing of the router with any WPS-compatible TV, smartphone or tablet occurs without having to enter a password: when the button is pressed on the router housing, the devices are exchanged by the digital access code and are automatically connected.

Depending on the hardware revision of the router, the button can be located on the side or back of the case.

Brief instructions for connecting to D-Link DIR-300 via WPS on the example of the Android device:

Select the WPS button.

Press the WPS button on the DIR-300 housing.

After a few seconds, a successful connection message will appear.

Thus, in just 4 simple steps, you can connect to the router any WPS-compatible device and no password to enter at the same time.

Despite the convenience of this conjugation method, the WPS protocol has the lowest security: when exchanging identification packages between devices, a digital code is used, which can easily be selected by spyware.

Additional features

• Mac filter in D-Link DIR-300 - auxiliary means of protection against unauthorized connection via Wi-Fi. Allows you to configure both black and white lists of MAC addresses.

• The "WIFI Customer List" displays current information about the connected devices. The function allows forced to disable any user from the home network.

• The WPS tab opens access to the simplified pairing parameters.
• On the Advanced Settings tab, you need to pay attention to 2 important parameters: "TX power" and "channel width".

The power of the transmitter is expressed as a percentage. What it is higher, the wider zone of the Wi-Fi network.

The width of the channel can be selected automatically - 20/40, or configured manually. The wider channel, the greater the bandwidth, i.e. the speed.

The 40 MHz channel gives a tangible speed gain, but is less resistant to interference from adjacent networks than 20 MHz. In addition, with the approach to the border of the coating zone, the bandwidth of 40 MHz channel is greatly reduced. To improve the reception, you will need to configure the D-Link DIR-300 transmitter to the maximum power, but then the router will start emitting too much the flow of radio waves, which will "score" weak waves from the antennas of mobile gadgets. This will significantly reduce the speed of wireless transmission on devices operating in close proximity to the router. Thus, it is possible to select optimal power values \u200b\u200band widths only by measuring the speed and coating directly at the installation site of the DIR-300.

• The values \u200b\u200bof the remaining parameters on the "Advanced Settings" tab are not recommended to change users who do not have special knowledge.
• WMM - WiFi-Multimedia technology optimizes wireless multimedia applications traffic. To improve high-speed indicators while viewing online video or skype calls, the option must be enabled. The parameter values \u200b\u200bare not recommended.
• In the "Client" mode, the DIR-300 can connect to another router to organize a complex infrastructure in large homes or offices, as well as when connecting to the provider Wi-Fi network.

Connecting router Remove the router from the box, install in a convenient place for you. Connect the power adapter from the kit to the corresponding connector on the rear panel of the router and in a 220V outlet. The main network cable (the one you spent in the apartment when connecting to the network of K-Telecom) Connect to the Internet port, and connect the network cable with one end to one of the numbered LAN ports on the rear panel of the router, and the other - to the network fee Computer. Installation disk, which is included with the router, you will not need. Important: Do not connect the main power cable to the numbered LAN ports. This will lead to a violation of communication service in the whole house.

Setting up router Open a separate tab in the browser, enter the address of 192.168.0.1 in the address bar and press the ENTER key on the keyboard. Going to this address, we see the Authorization window to enter the password to authorize when entering the router web interface.

In order to change the router setting language, you must click on the "Language" button and select the "Russian" item.


In the "User Name" line and in the "Password" string, we enter the word "admin" Latin (English) small (uppercase) letters without quotes. Then click "Login" on the screen, or on the Enter key on the keyboard.

To configure the Internet connection, select the "Advanced Settings" item.

In the window that appears, the current connection is presented, which is installed on the default router in order to configure the Internet connection, click on the Add button.

Initially, select "Connection Type" - "L2TP + Dynamic IP".

Next, we go to the bottom of the settings window and fill the "Username" field, "Password", "Password Confirm" (data from the contract), also introduce "172.16.0.1" in the VPN Server Address field. Check the correctness of the entered data and click "Save".

After saving the settings you just created the Internet connection, you must save the configuration settings on the router. To do this, click on the light bulb image in the upper right corner of the window, and then on the word "save".

If all the data was entered correctly, then after updating the page you can see that the Internet connection on the router is installed and now you need to configure Wi-Fi to do this on the left arrow.

Wi-Fi Setup To configure the wireless connection in the Advanced Settings menu, select Wi-Fi, "Basic Settings".

In the "SSID" field, you must enter the name of the wireless network, any convenient for you, most importantly, so that it is entered by Latin characters and / or numbers. After entering, click on the "Apply" button, the remaining parameters can be left by default.

In order for your wireless network, unauthorized persons cannot be configured to configure network security. To do this, select "Security Settings" in the Wi-Fi menu.

In the window that appears, select "WPA2-PSK" in the Network Authentication field.

The "PSK Encryption key" field is a password to your wireless network, you can burn any sequence of Latin characters and / or numbers.

More and more gains popularity. And it is not surprising, because it is a very convenient way to connect to the Internet and binding various devices, because No need to use wires.

But, using Wi-Fi network, do not forget about its safety. If you still have no password for Wi-Fi or it is too simple, perhaps a neighbor's child has long hacked your network and enjoys freebies in his pleasure.

Of course, you can a very kind person and you do not feel sorry for expensive neighbors, but then you should not complain that your favorite sites have become badly loaded.

If you still decided to secure your network, let's figure it out how to put a password on Wai Fi.

Where is the password on Wi-Fi?

The router (router) is the most common device when using Wi-Fi technology, so we will consider how to install a password on this device.

Now there are many firms of router manufacturers (D-link, TP-Link, ZyXEL, ASUS, etc.) and even more different models of these devices. Therefore, within the framework of this article, we will not consider the installation of a password for all these models, and we will analyze this procedure on the example of one of the popular D-Link DIR-300 routers.

Settings most modern wireless routers are opened using an Internet browser. This can be done on a computer, laptop, tablet or on any other device that is connected to the router using wires or wireless communication.

It is advisable to produce this procedure on the device that is connected to the router on the cable. The fact is that if you are connected via Wi-Fi, when you change the password, it will turn off from the network and you will have to re-enter the settings.

In order to open the settings you need, you need to enter the IP address of the device in the address bar of the browser. Most manufacturers use standard IP addresses, but some of them can have their own specific address.

The most common IP addresses of routers:

• 192.168.0.1
• 192.168.1.1
• 192.168.2.1
• 10.0.0.1
• 10.0.1.1

If you are not suitable not one of these addresses, you can find out in several ways:

1. View on the router housing. Usually manufacturers write the IP address of the router interface on the sticker at the bottom of the device.
2. Examine instructions or CDs that were included.
3. Search on the Internet information on the model of your router.

This option is possible that you have a non-standard IP address. In this case, you need to find out this address in the person who set up a router or reset the device to the factory settings.

Log in to the router settings

After you have determined which IP address is suitable for your device, enter it in the address period of the browser.

If the connection to the router was successful, the User and Password Name window should appear.

For most routers, the standard username and password "Admin". Not exception is D-Link DIR-300. Therefore, you need to enter this word in both fields and click the Login link.

If after these actions you did not manage to enter the device settings, then either for your router other data for the entry, or these data have been changed.

If you do not know the name and password to enter the device, then there are 2 options:

1. As in the case of the IP address - look at the case, read the instructions, search the Internet.
2. If the first item does not help, then you need to reset the router to the standard settings using a special button on the device.

Installing a password on Wi-Fi

After you entered the router interface, find the Security Settings item in the "Advanced Settings" section. In the settings of other models of routers, the menu will look different, but similar items can be easily found on keyword Wi-Fi and security.

On the Safety Settings page you need to set the following items:

• Network authentication
• PSK Encryption key
• WPA encryption

In the "Network Authentication" field, you need to choose which authentication technology will be protected by your Wi-Fi network. WPA2 is currently the most secure authentication method for a wireless network. Therefore, it is recommended to choose this item for reliable protection of your WiFi.

It is impossible to treat the choice of password challenge. The password should be quite difficult, consisting of letters in different registers and numbers. It is desirable that this was some kind of meaningless set, not specific words. Such a combination is more difficult to hack, and you do not necessarily memorize it.
