Password from WiFi Dir 300Nrub7. Wi-Fi work check

D-LINK network equipment is well known both in Russia and abroad. In a wide range of devices, a mansion is a wireless start-up router - D-Link DIR-300. Thanks to a low price, excellent reliability and good technical specifications, he became the first truly affordable home router Wi-Fi. The model turned out to be so successful that it was still produced. What is the difference between routers of different years of release, how to connect them and set up for the most efficient work - the topic of our article.

Exterior view of the router, specifications

D-Link DIR-300 - Router (router) of the entry level, is intended for use in a house or a small office. It allows you to connect customers to the Internet both by cable (twisted pair) and using a wireless connection (WiFi). With cable connection, you can connect four computers, and through Wi-Fi - any number of customers. However, with each Wi-Fi connected client, the access speed will fall. If one client can operate at a speed of 150 Mbps, two already at a speed of 75 Mbps and so on.

The router is present on the market for more than ten years, during this time three generations (revision) of this router were released.

DIR-300 revision A

The oldest router in the ruler, which has long been removed from production, although it can be bought in the secondary market. The wireless module of B / G standards provides a speed of up to 54 Mbps in ideal conditions.

DIR-300A - Veteran in Routers Line

Ethernet ports of the router allow you to organize a local network with access speed up to 100 Mbps. But the Internet speed for the local network clients will be almost twice below: the small amount of RAM and a weak processor allow DIR-300 Rev. A handle Internet traffic at no higher than 50 Mbps. If you are connected to the Internet with a faster tariff plan, you should change the old router to more productive.

DIR-300NRU revision B1, B3, B5

The NRU abbreviation in the model name means that the wireless module corresponds to the standard N and can provide theoretical Wi-Fi speed to 150 Mbps. The prefix EN suggests that the model is designed and manufactured for the market of the former CIS countries.

DIR-300NRU B1 - strict appearance and 150 Mbps by air

A two-core processor with a clock frequency of 350 MHz and 32 megabytes of RAM allow you to install alternative firmware on these routers, such as OpenWRT and DD-WRT, which significantly expands the possibilities of the router and improves the stability of its operation. The processor speed is enough to work with tariff plans to 100 Mbps.

OpenWRT - Software for routers with broader capabilities

DIR-300NRU revision B7, D1, A1

These varieties of the router are built on a new hardware platform, so alternative firmware will not work on them. But the staffing software was significantly processed: the usual web interface was changed to a new, with an interactive client connection card and the ability to change many settings without rebooting the router.

New on D-Link eliminates the user from manipulations with alternative firmware

The B7 and D1 models are produced in the vertical version of the housing, and the audit model A will probably remember with your appearance in the shape of a black cylinder.

DIR-300NRU A1 - Space design and quite earthly characteristics

Dlink DIR-300A was the first wireless router that I purchased almost 10 years ago. Simple and unpretentious, he worked without turning off, almost 5 long years, without failures and without "hanging" and only connecting to another, more rapid Internet provider made me replace the old friend to a new router. But thanks to the firmware DD-WRT veteran and now in the ranks, it works by a wireless network repeater in a country house. The low speed has become a trump card of this router - it is almost not heated, which means it may be steadily working in heavy climatic conditions, for example, hot summer.

Preparation of the router to work

In order for D-Link DIR-300 to link all your devices with a single home network and provided each client access to the Internet, you need to make a number of preparatory activities. The router must be connected by cables to the provider and home computers, and customer network cards are configured to automatically receive addresses. After that, you can configure access to the Internet and create a wireless network.

Connecting a router, preparation for configuration

The router connection scheme is simple: the provider cable is included in the Internet jack, the LAN computers to the LAN1-LAN4 network connectors. Smartphones, tablets and other wireless devices are connected using Wi-Fi network.

Creating a home network based on DIR-300NRU

Configuring a network card computer to work with the router

In the "From the box" router, the DHCP server is automatically activated - the router will result in network addresses to connected computers. Therefore, before starting the router setting, it will be easier to make sure that the computer's network adapter or laptop is configured to automatically receive a network address.

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

Connecting to the Internet Provider

The web interface of the router allows you to configure the Internet connection as in semi-automatic mode (using the setup wizard) and in a fully manual. Before starting the setup, make sure that the Internet connection is activated by the service provider. To do this, try to connect to the Internet without a router, connecting the provider cable to the computer network card.

Fast Internet Wizard

For a technically unprepared user, D-Link has implemented the Click'nConnect tool to the router software, which requires the user to pass throughout three screens of simple settings with a choice of connection type and authorization parameters. The remaining connection options router will determine automatically, provided that the Internet provider cable is already connected.

1. Open the web interface by entering the address 192.168.1.1 in the Internet browser.
2. In the "Network" section, follow the link Click'nConnect.

   All step-by-step "master" run from the quick settings pages

3. Check if the provider cable is connected to the WAN router port.

   Make sure whether the provider cable is connected to the WAN port

4. Select from the list that type of connection that your Internet provider uses, for example - PPPoE.

   Select the Internet connection protocol

5. Enter authorization settings from the Treaty: Login, Password and VPN Server Name (If L2TP or PPTP Connection is used). In order to access additional settings, put the switch in the lower left corner of the window to the "Details" position.

   Enter the login and password from your contract with the provider

6. Check the settings in the System Report window and if there are no errors - press the Save key.

   Check that the settings are correct and click the Save button.

If you are accustomed to "Hold your hand on a pulse" and want to make settings manually - this can be done by switching to the extended settings mode.

Connecting an Internet provider is configured through the Advanced Settings menu.

Setting L2TP.

L2TP is one of the varieties of VPN in which the "Tunnel" can be installed not only via TCP / IP protocol, but also protocols of lower level: ATM, X.25 and Frame Relay. The protocol provides encrypted traffic, so L2TP connects are used more often in corporate networks than to connect to individuals.

1. Manual connection configuration comes from the advanced settings menu.

2. Create a new connection to the Internet

3. Enter the account settings in the window that opens: Login, Password and VPN Server Address.

4. With a static connection, enter the IP addresses assigned by the provider

5. Click "Apply".
6. Returning to a window with a list of connections Activate the created entry as the default connection.

   Make a record created active default

PPPOE Setup

Connection via PPPoE is the most common in Internet providers, and configure it easier than the rest, since only login and password are required from the authorization parameters.

1. From the Advanced Settings menu, follow the WAN link in the "Network" section.

   For connecting via PPPOE, follow the WAN link from the Advanced Settings menu.

2. In the list of network interfaces that appears, click the Add button to create a new connection.

   Create a new connection using the Add button

3. Enter the account settings in the window that opens: Connection Type (PPPOE), Login and Password.

   Connection type Install PPPoE, and Login and Password Connects Take from the Treaty with the Provider

4. If a digital TV or "smart" TV is connected to the router, set the IGMP checkbox to the position enabled.

   Activate options for viewing IPTV. Do not forget to appear one of the LAN ports to connect the TV console

5. Click "Apply".
6. Returning to the window with a list of connections, activate the created record as a default connection.

Setting up PPTP.

Connecting the PPTP connection is not different from the L2TP setting discussed earlier. Similarly, two types of connection are supported: with static and dynamic addresses. For authorization, the login, password and the name of the VPN server are sufficient. Note that this type of connection creates a larger load on the router processor. If your tariff plan provides a connection with a speed of 90 Mbps and above, it is worth thinking about buying a new, more productive router.

1. From the Advanced Settings menu, follow the WAN link in the "Network" section.

   Manual configuration of the PPTP connection comes from the advanced settings menu.

2. In the list of network interfaces that appears, click the Add button to create a new connection.

   Create a new connection to the PPTP protocol

3. Enter the account settings in the window that opens: Login, Password and VPN Server Address. If the server's symbolic address is not provided by the provider, enter it in TCP / IP addresses.
4. If the secondary connection is static, and not dynamic IP - specify the address of the DNS servers, the network address, network mask, and the gateway address.

   With a static PPTP connection, enter the IP addresses assigned by the provider

5. Click "Apply".
6. Returning to the window with a list of connections, activate the created record as a default connection.

Static IP Setup

If you connect to the Internet with a static IP address, the login and password are not required. In the setup settings, you enter the address received from the provider, the subnet mask and the gateway address, after which the router is ready for operation.

Home Network Settings and Wireless Connection

After connecting the router to the Internet configured, it remains to configure the wireless network and connecting wired clients, thereby completing the creation of a home network. Never create a wireless network without password protection, even if you have a binding to MAC addresses. An attacker can easily clone the MAC address and connect to your network.

Configuring Wi-Fi (Creating an 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 the device with the WiFi module: laptop, tablet, smartphone.

1. Wireless network is better to configure the extended settings menu.

2. Click the "Advanced Settings" button.
3. Make sure that the wireless connection slider in the green (enabled position) position.

   Make sure Wi-Fi mode is on

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 network name and select Broadcasting Channel

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

   Come up and enter wireless network access password

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

The password installed for the wireless network is used by the router to encrypt the transmitted data. The more symbols in the password, the more reliable encryption, but also the load on the router processor - above. The optimal key size is 8-13 characters.

Port Mapping

Some users need to access their local network resources from the Internet. Access home network folders, picture from home camera IP, remote administration programs Remote Administrator or Team Viewer and still dozens of applications. To organize such access, the so-called port timing requires, that is, the router connects the port of the external network and the port of the internal. Configure port promotion is easy using the modem web interface features.

1. Open the Internet browser and go to the router web interface at 192.168.1.1.

   Add a new rule

2. In a window with a list of reassigned ports, click the Add button.
3. In the port configuration dialog, follow the following fields:
   
4. Press the "Apply" button in the lower right corner of the screen.

Setup IPTV (digital TV)

The IPTV setting allows you to select one of the four network ports to transfer a digital video stream to it. To this port, you can connect a network media player, Smart-TV or a digital television console.

A few months ago, families of families asked for help in connecting SmartTV to their home router - DLink DIR-300. Connected using the "IPTV setup wizard", the TV showed a one and a half hundred digital channels, but none of the Internet services worked: YouTube, Mail, online cinema, even the weather forecast complained about the lack of Internet connections and did not start. Studying the documentation suggested that for simultaneous transmission to the port of the video stream and Internet traffic, you must configure the DUAL ACSESS connection, but the existing router did not allow it to do, and the owners did not want to flash the router alternative firmware in order not to lose the warranty. Nevertheless, the output was found: in one of the USB ports of the TV, we connected the Wi-Fi adapter and configured through it to connect to the router wireless network. And through the Ethernet connection was a digital video stream. The issue price is about 500 rubles, and the new router with support for Dual Acse would cost where as expensive.

LAN PARAMETERS AND DHCP Server

The advanced router settings mode allows you to configure the parameters of the DHCP server, the local network and the internal router interface.

Switching D-Link DIR-300 in repeater mode (repeater)

The staffing software does not support the router switch to the repeater mode (repeater). If you bought a new, more powerful router, and the older DIR-300 want to use to extend the wireless area - you can try to set the alternative DD-WRT firmware, in which the repeater mode is configured literally a few clicks.

1. Using the recovery function (update) of the internal software, install the DD-WRT firmware.
2. Disconnect the WAN interface and the DHCP server on the Installation tab (Main Settings) tab. Enter the network settings data to the repeater. The device must be on the same network as the main router. We will have a network of 192.168.128.0/255.255.255.0, the gateway in which the car performs with the address 192.168.128.5. She is also a DNS server. For the future repeater, the DIR-300 is selected free address 192.168.128.2, which is not distributed by a DHCP server.

   Make network address data, subnet masks and gateways

3. Wireless network type Specify as a "repeater-bridge", and the wireless network name must be entered the identical network name on the main router. In this case, this is the DIZAR_NET network. Save the settings again.

   Firmware status page - repeater mode activated

Unfortunately, the DD-WRT firmware supports not the entire line of models DLink DIR-300. On the project site, you can download images of update for revision A1 (the oldest DIR-300) and for the DIR-300NRU version of the revisions B1-B3.

Video: Installing the DD-WRT firmware on D-Link DIR-300

Administer D-Link DIR-300

The router is an autonomous device that is capable of working without user intervention. If the problems still arose, then without the manipulation of the administrator of the network could not do. You may need to restart the router or reset it to the factory settings, and in severe cases - even updating the built-in software.

Reset router to factory settings

Reset the router to factory settings may be needed in the case when the device works incorrectly, and access to the web interface is not possible. Fortunately, all D-Link DIR-300 routers have a hardware return to factory settings.

Update internal software (firmware)

Updating internal software will help eliminate errors, increase the speed and improve the stability of the router.

1. Specify the revision of your router, this information is on the sticker located on the bottom cover of the machine.

   

   The manufacturer's site contains firmware files for all revisions of the router

2. From the extended router settings screen, select the "Update" link in the "System" section.
3. Use the "Overview" button. Specify the path to the firmware file and click the "Update" button.

   Specify the path to the firmware file and start the update process.

4. The router will begin the update procedure that will take about 10 minutes.

It is extremely carefully to choose the firmware file. Software from the router of another revision or even more old version of the software can do your device completely inoperable. It will be possible to restore it only in the service center.

Reloading router

The easiest way is to restart the router by turning off the power by driving its network adapter from the outlet. If the router is installed in an inaccessible place, you can restart it through the web interface.

The D-Link router DIR 300 models is one of the most popular in Russia and Ukraine. However, do not everyone know how to configure the password on Wi-Fi on the router DIR 300. How to put a passwordon this device, we will explain in this article.

Initially, it is better to check whether the router is configured at all and whether it distributes the Internet. If everything is in order, you can start setting the password.

DIR 300 Router: How to put a password?

To do this, we immediately run the browser that you usually use and go to the address bar. We prescribe in it 192.168.0.1 - this is the address of your router. If after writing this combination of numbers and pressing ENTER transition to the login and password page did not happen, try to register 192.168.1.1.

To put a password on the DIR 300, you need to select a picture with the "Configure Manual" inscription, in the window that opens, select the WiFi tab, and then "Security Settings". Here fill in the settings:

1. Network authentication - WPA2-PSK.
2. PSK encryption key is our password. You must come up with a rather complicated password to protect the network from hacking. If possible, it includes Latin letters, numbers, the letters of the upper and lower register.
3. WPA encryption settings - leave as they are installed by default.

The next time you connect your computer or laptop to the Internet, you must delete an old access point in the network management center (control panel) and create a new one, already with a password.

Setting the password on the DIR 300 router more new versions is almost no different from the installation on old versions, so there will be no difficulties.

If you want to get rid of the annoying cables, do not have binding to one work site on the computer / laptop, easily transferring the entire computer hardware to you to purchase and configure the Wi-Fi router. A series of articles about configuring various routers will help you at home without much difficulty, configure Wi-Fi wireless network.

In this article I will describe Wi-Fi setting on the example of the DLink DIR-300 NRU B5 router. The first thing you need to do is until the latter. Then you need to configure the network on the computer / laptop on automatic receipt of the IP address and DNS server. After that, connect the WEB interface DLink (this refers to the case 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 ADMIN login, Admin password (default).
After that, we get to the DLink Dir- 300 NRU web interface. Click on the button "Wi-Fi Wireless Setup Wizard".

In the first setting window you need to check "Enable wireless connection", I think it's clear why :). The MBSSID parameter (allows one access point to serve immediately up to four wireless networks with various settings) and BSSID (this is a physical address of the point (MAS address) of access for the corresponding network.). At home, these functions are extremely rarely used, which is why initially they are turned off, which will be left. Press "Further".

In the next window in the string "Hide Access Point" Tick \u200b\u200bdo not install, in the SSID string we write the name of the wireless network, choose the country, leave the channel to auto or specify the free how to determine the free channel is described in the article How to select / Change Wireless Channel on Router / Router . Wireless mode choose « 802.11 b / g / n Mixed» so that different devices could connect to Wi-Fi if the string "Maximum number of customers" Leave 0 This means that an unlimited number of devices can be connected to the DLink Dir- 300 NRU if you specify, for example number 5, then the maximum number of devices can connect to the wireless network will not be more than 5.

In order for all devices and new and outdated, you can easily connect to Wi-Fi network, choose network authentication "WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK Mixed".

In the PSK encryption key, enter a password that needs to be entered to be connected to Wi-Fi (I recommend using a complex password, at least 8 characters with letters, numbers and special characters). All other settings relate to encryption and I recommend to leave them by default.

In the next window, we look at all the settings we specified if everything is properly pressed. "Save" Otherwise click "Back" And correct.

Now you need to save the settings on the DLink Dir- 300 NRU, for this press the button from above. "Save."

On this, the Wi-Fi configuration on the DLink Dirk-300 NRU router can be finished, closed the browser window, turn on the Wi-Fi device, we find our network.
We enter the password and enjoy the Internet without wires.
After configuring the router, you can proceed to setting up the local network on

In this instruction, consider in detail all the steps that will help you set up a Wi-Fi router D-Link DIR-300 NRU hardware revision B7 for "Home Internet Beeline". The following steps will be studied in the manual:

• Preparing for configuration, connection of the router, information about firmware update, whether it is necessary to produce it.
• The most common errors that are performed when setting up the router.
• Configuring L2TP Beeline connecting to DIR-300 Rev.b7.
• Setting up a wireless network, how to put a wi-fi password.
• Configuring TV-TV - digital television IPTV.

The process of configuring the router is not something that could not be able to cope with absolutely any user if there is a competent and detailed written instructions. That is, I try to write. Go!

Update: If the firmware is installed on your router 2.5.11 or 2.15.19 (in general, 2.5.x), and the settings interface is similar to the screenshot below, use this instruction :.

Connecting a router to a computer, preparation for setting, how to flash router and whether it is worth doing

Connect the Wi-Fi D-Link DIR-300 B7 router is not difficult: just connect the Beeline cable to the Internet port on the back of the router, and one of the LAN ports connect the cable with a similar connector on a computer or a laptop from which the setting will be configured. Plus Turn on the router power. By the way, if you do not plan to flash a router (on this below), then, in principle, all the actions for configuring the device can be performed by Wi-Fi - from the tablet or even the phone.

Now about the firmware D-Link DIR-300 B7: If for some other models of D-link routers, I recommend updating the firmware, then the router of this modification is usually normal and without this process. Thus, you can perform all the router settings and contact the firmware update method only if any problems appear, such as:

• Frequent spontaneous connection breaks, "cure" which helps only reboot the router.
• Low Internet speed via Wi-Fi, Router "cuts" speed.
• Other problems of obscure origin.

The penultimate: if you have already tried to configure your DIR-300 B7, but you did not work before continuing to reset the router to the factory settings. To do this, with the router power on, press and hold the reset button from the back of it 10-15 seconds, then release it. Another seconds will take a reboot of the router with factory settings.

And last: Before setting, tear the Beeline connection on the computer you use to access the Internet. And do not connect in the future - after setting up the router itself will set this connection and after that it is possible to distribute it to the local and wireless Wi-Fi network to all devices. Otherwise, if you do not disable this connection, you will have a question about why there is an Internet computer, and the Wi-Fi is connected, but without access to the Internet. And I am very tired of answering this question.

Configuring L2TP Beeline Connection on DIR-300NRU B7

The main stage when setting up any wireless router (Wi-Fi router) - to properly configure the connection settings in it. What we will do - in our case it is the DIR-300 B7 and used in the Beeline type L2TP connection. So, proceed.

Run your favorite browser and in its address bar, enter 192.168.0.1. The next thing you see will be querying the username and password to enter the D-Link DIR-300 NRU B7 router settings. Standard values \u200b\u200b- Admin and Admin, there and there.

After entering the correct data, you will find yourself on the main page of the router settings. However, we will not delay on it: at the bottom of the "admin", select the "Advanced Settings" link.

On the next page, in the Network item, click on the "WAN" link, then click the Add button, not paying attention to the connection that is already in the list. Now you are on the Internet connection settings page, it is necessary to enter the correct parameters for the Beeline Provider.

Fields should be filled as follows (in those that are not mentioned here, the values \u200b\u200bshould not be changed or not necessary):

• Connection type - L2TP + dynamic IP
• Username - Your login to access the Internet Beeline
• Password - Your password for internet access
• VPN server address - TP.internet.beeline.ru.

In general, it's all you need to change. After that, click "Save". After that, you will find yourself on the page on which the newly created connection will be displayed in the "broken" state. Also on top to the right will flash the light bulb and the number is displayed one: if you click on it (and this should be done) you will be prompted to save the device configuration again - click "Save".

Now just update the current page with the list of connections and, if you have not made errors, and the Internet Beeline on the computer itself is disabled, you will see that the connection status has changed from "broken" to "connected", which we needed.

L2TP Beeline connection is connected and running

Now the computer from which the setting is made has full Internet access on the local network, and if you connect via Wi-Fi from another device, then the Internet will also be released. However, you should not hurry to check. First, it is better to finally configure the router, namely the parameters of the wireless Wi-Fi network.

Wi-Fi setting on DIR-300 B7

In order to configure Wi-Fi to the DIR-300 B7, return to the advanced settings page and in the Wi-Fi item, select "Basic Settings".

On this page, you can configure the following parameters:

• SSID. (Wi-Fi Access Name) - Enter the desired name, English characters. This name will allow you to distinguish your wireless network from neighboring. By default (and recommended), apparently everyone in the access point zone.
• Country - Network Standard. By default, the Russian Federation is installed, but I recommend changing to the United States. Some devices do not see or do not connect to the point with the region of the Russian Federation. Everything is connected to the USA without exception.

The remaining parameters can be left unchanged. Save the settings made. Now in the Wi-Fi paragraph, click the Safety Settings link.

• Network authentication - WPA2-PSK
• PSK Encryption key - The desired password on your wireless Wi-Fi network needed to connect to it. Must consists at least 8 Latin characters and / or numbers.

Save all the settings made. Router is ready to use.

Setting IPTV Beeline (digital TV via router)

In order to configure Beeline Television on the DIR-300NRU B7 simply go to the main page of the router settings (Quick Setup) and click on the "IP Television" item. In the next step, you will be prompted to choose the port on the router to which you will connect the television console Beeline. Select the appropriate and save the settings. Ready.

In case you have refused to work - write comments. If everything has earned - also write (I will be pleased) and share the instructions on social networks - it will allow others easier to find it.
