Setting up the DIR-300 NRU router fails, help with advice. I bought this router model. The store calmed me down, said that it is the easiest to install and that almost all Russian Internet providers work with it and everyone has instructions on how to install it on the official websites. Of course, there were no instructions for this model on the website of our provider, and I also realized that the DIR-300 router is of some different revisions b1-b5 (it turned out that I had NRU b5). And for each Internet provider, the router is configured differently, or so it seemed to me. As for the manual book attached to the router, there is a description of how to connect the DIR-300NRU b5 to the XP operating system. I want to connect it first to the system unit with the Windows 7 operating system, and then connect my daughter's laptop to the created virtual network, but it also has Windows 7. I tried to figure it out myself and you know, from all these IPoE and PPPoE, PPTP head got sick. So I have a question for you, whether I can still connect two of our computers to the router or immediately call a specialist like you. And yet, explain in Russian, what is the difference between WAN and VPN? Vladimir. Samara.
For a long time my friends have been asking me to buy and configure a router for them. We go to the store, buy and set up step by step, and you watch everything that happens, everything will be clear even to a beginner. You can connect any router, it all depends on your persistence and, of course, patience. Setting up the DIR-300 NRU Router not complicated, this router is very popular due to the inexpensive price of 1000-1100 rubles and good reliability and works with the operating systems Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7. On the official websites of Russian providers, there are instructions for installing it, but as I noticed obsolete revisions b1, b2, b3, web interface settings in black and brown.
- In 2011, D-Link updated the web interface, now the router settings windows (including the new DIR-300NRU b5 model are pale green, and the white background, of course, the settings have changed slightly. The providers have everything left in their places. These are many users, at the moment, according to my observations, most often buy the D-Link DIR-300 NRU b5 model that has Wi-Fi support at speeds up to 150 Mbit, uses an updated settings interface, built-in firewall and compatibility with standards without 802.11b and 802.11g wired communications.I advise you to know exactly what you are buying and check everything else in the store.
Attention! Setting up a D-Link DIR-300 NRU router (revisions HW: b1, b2, b3) is slightly different from setting up a DIR-300NRU b5 model router, but the essence is basically the same, now you will see everything for yourself.
Now about the settings. Before you actually get to the Internet (global computer network) from our home, you and I first get to our Internet provider or provider in a virtual private network (for example, Beeline). There are few real providers in Russia, there are many sub-providers, in the simple language of intermediaries. But how these providers organize their network depends on how to configure the router.
What is the difference between all providers (providing Internet services) and how does this affect the settings of the router?
Nowadays, one half of the providers use the modern network protocol DHCP or IPoE for operation, where the distribution of IP and DNS addresses occurs automatically (I must say, it is very convenient for the Internet provider), and for Internet access they use an outdated tunnel protocol or a new layer-2 tunneling protocol L2TP (combining PPTP and L2F). The other half of the providers use an outdated protocolPPPoE mainly related to technologyхDSL (for example Rostelecom ), that is, it uses DSL modems, in the router settings, again, select the PPPoE Connection Type (information at the end of the article) and already configure it a little differently than in the first case. Of course, sometimes there are other features, so before buying a router, my advice to you. Call your provider and find out all the information you need to set up the router, ask about which range of router models to choose from, so as not to suffer later with the settings, firmware and, as you said, by specialists like me. Now, let's take a closer look at the setup, in my opinion, a very good D-Link router,DIR-300NRU b5 ... In general, many times I have configured this router in the seven and in , but unfortunately I did not look into the accompanying manual, but it turns out in fact, as our reader said, nothing is written about Windows 7, but there is information about XP. Don't worry, our router works great on both operating systems.
Let's start with the fact that you need to find out what network protocols your Internet provider works on -PPPoE or L2TP , you can find out by looking at the contract with him or you need to call the support service of your provider and just ask, this is the best way by the way. Let's start with the most common and simplest configurable network protocol DHCP today. You also need to find out how your provider issues IP addresses, in the case of the DHCP protocol, this happens automatically, you can verify this by looking at the Local Connection Properties of your network adapter.
Windows XPStart - Control Panel - Network Connections - Local Area Connection - Properties - Internet Protocol (TCP / IP) -Properties - Obtain an IP address automatically and Obtain DNS server address automatically.
Windows 7
Start - type View network connections -Local network connection - Properties - Internet Protocol version 4 (TCP / IPv4) and Properties- Obtain an IP address automatically and Obtain DNS server address automatically.
If you have the Use the following IP address checked in the Internet Protocol Properties and the addresses are registered, the same addresses must be specified in your agreement with the provider, then your Internet provider is using PPTP or PPPoE. Let's consider configuring a router with these protocols at the end. But before connecting a router with these protocols, you also need to set the Obtain IP-automatically and Obtain DNS-server address automatically in the Internet connection properties. Let's go to the router settings. If something goes wrong with you, you can always reset the router settings to factory settings by clicking on the Reset button. Let's connect the local Internet cable conducted by your provider to the WAN port on the router, as we see it saysinternet , and connect the router and your stationary computer with a network cable (in our case, blue) through LAN port No. 1.
Users who are supplied with the Internet using ADSL technology need to connect the DSL modem and the router with a network cable, then connect the router with a network cable to the system unit. The DIR-300 router has only 4-LAN ports, to which we can connect up to 4 personal computers that do not have Wi-Fi.
Turn on the router, open any browser: Chrome, Opera, Mozilla, Internet Explorer and enter 192.168.0.1 in the address bar and press Enter.
And here we are in the initial window of the DIR-300 router. First of all, experienced users download the latest firmware (software) for the router on the official website and install it, at the moment the latest firmware version is installed on our router, so there is no need to download or flash anything. And my advice to you, even when the firmware is released, try first to configure the router as it is, without flashing it, it is easy for a beginner to make mistakes, and then the router can be restored only in a service center.
Name - Beeline
Connection type - L2TP
Connect automatically - Check the box
Service name - tp.internet.beeline.ru
PPP Username - our login with you in Beeline starts from 089 ...
Password - Your internet password
Encryption - Usually No encryption
Device configuration has been changed - Save, so that after restarting the computer, the changes you made to the router settings are saved.
Then again, click Connections, select the Beeline we just created, the Connection Type l2tp and assign it Default gateway(we mark this point). Click Save.
Click on the button Status - Network Statistics... In the WAN field, we see information that our router has successfully received the necessary data from the provider and we have the Internet.
Now we connect a laptop to our router via Wi-Fi.
Press the Wi-Fi button in the router settings. General settings . We leave everything as default.
Encryption key PSK: We come up with an encryption key, preferably 10-digit, consisting of letters and numbers in random order, so it is more reliable
WPA encryption - AES or TKIP + AES, then your network will be available to almost all existing Wi-Fi devices.
WPA key renewal period we leave it by default.
Sometimes it happens that the settings of the router fly off when its power is turned off, so be sure to open the "System" menu in the upper right corner of the page and click on " Save and Reload". Now the changed settings of your router will be saved in its non-volatile memory.
Click OK
Immediately after that, my laptop detected a virtual network. We assign the parameter Public network to the network or Home.
We connect to our network and enter the invented key.
Now our laptop also has internet.
If you have problems connecting the laptop to the resulting Wi-Fi network of the router, then on the laptop, enter
Control Panel\\Network and Internet \\ Network and Sharing Center\Wireless network management,
double click on the DIR-300 NRU network
DIR-300 NRU wireless network properties. Connection tab, you should have a checkmark on the item Connect automatically if the network is within range.
In the DIR-300 NRU wireless network properties window, the Security tab, check the security settings - Security type, Encryption type, Network Security Key, everything must match the settings of the router.
Here are friends and all the settings of our router in the DHCP network protocol. As for configuring our router in PPPoE mode, you will need to go to the router's settings Network -\u003e Connections and select the PPPoE connection type, then register the username and password, as well as confirm the password. Detailed instructions are available on the D-Link website itself - http://dlink.ru/ru/products/5/728.html
In the presented topic, let's talk about how to configure the D-Link DIR-300 router. This model of the router is the most popular among users, so questions on setting it up are relevant to this day. As an example, we will make all the settings on the DIR-300 Wi-Fi router, revision NRU B5, from the Internet provider Rostelecom. In particular, we will consider the process of connecting a router, setting up a wired and wireless Wi-Fi network, setting a password to enter its interface and to connect to a wireless network. In short, everything you need to create an internet connection and a home local network.
Connection
Before configuring the D-Link DIR-300 router, of course, it must be connected to the Internet and to a personal computer. The router has its own connector on the rear panel for each of these connections.
As you can see, to create an Internet connection, the "Internet" connector of the same name is intended, into which you need to plug the provider's cable. All the other 4 LAN connectors are designed for wired connection of any peripheral devices - computer, TV, media player, receiver, etc. In short, everything that has support for this type of connection and can be part of a local network for exchanging various kinds of data and accessing the Internet.
Also on the rear panel there is a "Reset" button, designed to reset all settings to factory settings. Resetting is done by long pressing the button for 5-10 seconds.
The front panel of the device contains indicators for monitoring its operating status and all connections.
- Power indicator
- Internet connection. Has three signal types - green (connection established), yellow (no connection) and flashing green (data transfer)
- Wi-Fi wireless connection indicator. Also has 2 types of signal - green (connection established) and flashing green (data transfer)
- Indicators of connected devices. Like everyone else, a green light indicates that the connection is established. Flashing green that there is no connection
Presetting a connection in Windows
Before proceeding with the settings of the DIR-300 router, or any other, you need to make certain connection settings in the operating system itself.
We would like to draw your attention to the fact that the procedure for setting up a connection in Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10 is identical.
So, we need to look at the properties of the Internet Protocol version 4 (TCP / IPv4). Then write them down or make a change. This is done simply. Hover the mouse cursor over the connection icon in the notification area and right-click on it and select the "Network and Sharing Center" item.
After that, click on the wired connection icon with the right mouse button and select "Properties" in the context menu.
At the next step, we find the TCP / IPv4 protocol of interest to us and again click on "Properties".
After all the actions taken, we find ourselves in the section we need, in which it is desirable to check the boxes - to get the IP and DNS server addresses automatically. This will allow you to connect your computer to a local network without the risk of conflict with other network devices at the network address level.
If you did not have these checkboxes in the protocol properties by default, then just in case, rewrite all the settings to a file and save it. Perhaps, if it becomes necessary to assign a static IP address to each device in the local network, these settings can be useful.
Configuring the D-Link DIR-300 router
So, let's proceed to the direct settings of the router. To do this, as mentioned earlier, it must be connected to a computer or laptop. To open the interface of the D-Link DIR-300 router, enter its IP address in the address bar of any browser. As a rule, it looks like - 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1.
You can verify which network address of your device is by looking at the label glued to the bottom of the router.
After entering a valid IP-address, a window for entering a username and password will open. As you can see from the screenshot above, the default login and password are identical and look like admin.
Having entered the administration panel of the D-Link DIR-300 router, you can proceed to its main settings. First of all, we are interested in setting up an Internet connection. To do this, open the "Network" section and click on this type of connection "WAN".
Its settings window will open, where you need to select the type of connection. There are two types to choose from - IPoE and PPPoE. Which of them to enter you can see in the agreement concluded with the provider or from a technical specialist by calling the technical support of the provider.
In addition, there are several other settings on this page that may be useful.
- MAC is a unique network identifier. It may come in handy if your network device is bound by MAC address. If so, then in this field you need to enter the MAC address of your PC's network card. How to find it out is described in detail in
- Obtain an IP address automatically - check the box if you have set the appropriate setting at the stage of configuring the TCP / IPv4 protocol
- Obtain the DNS server address automatically - similar to the previous point.
Setting up a wireless connection
To access the Internet via a router via a wireless connection, you need to connect this function. To do this, go to the "Wi-Fi" - "General settings" section and check the "Enable wireless connection" box.
To name the network, go to the "Basic settings" and enter the invented name in the "SSID" field. Immediately select one of the wireless network operating modes. The optimal one is 802.11 b / g / n, as shown in the screenshot.
To set a password, go to the "Security Settings" section, where in the "Network Authentication" column we set everything as in the screenshot below and enter the password in the "PSK Encryption Key" field.
note: the invented password will be required when connecting any mobile device to the created Wi-Fi network. Therefore, it is better to remember it. Otherwise, you will have to go to the router settings again to remember it.
Setting a new password for entering the admin panel of the router
After all the necessary settings are made, it is better to secure yourself and change the password for entering the admin panel, which by default corresponds to the login, to a more secure one. To do this, open the "System" section and write a new security code in the "Administrator password" item, after which we save the settings.
This completes the configuration of the DIR-300 router to create a wired and wireless Internet connection. If you need to create a local network, within which you can exchange files, listen to music and watch movies, for example from a computer on a smartphone, then here you need to make a number of additional settings, the list of which includes - creating work and home groups, opening shared access to folders and files, etc. However, the process of setting up a local network via a DIR-300 Wi-Fi router is described in detail in.
If you want to get rid of annoying cables, not be tied to one place of work on a computer / laptop, easily move all computer equipment, you must purchase and configure a Wi-Fi router. A series of articles on configuring various routers will help you easily set up a wireless Wi-Fi network at home.
In this article I will describe the Wi-Fi setup using the example of the Dlink Dir-300 NRU B5 router. The first thing to do is to the last. Then you need to configure the network on your computer / laptop to automatic acquisition of IP-address and DNS-server.
After that, we connect via the Dlink web interface (this applies to those cases if you closed the web interface after updating the firmware). Enter in the browser (preferably using Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox) 192.168.0.1 login admin, password admin (by default).
After that, we get to the Dlink Dir-300 NRU web interface. Click on the button "Wi-Fi Wireless Network Settings Wizard".
In the first settings window, check the box "Turn on wireless connection", I think it's clear why :). The MBSSID parameter (allows one access point to serve up to four wireless networks at once with different 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 were initially turned off, so we will leave them as such. Push "Further".
In the next window in the line Hide hotspot We do not tick the box, write the name of the wireless network in the SSID line, select the country, leave the channel auto or indicate the free one, how to determine the free channel is described in the article How to select / change the wireless channel on the router / router
... Select wireless mode «
802.11 b / g / n mixed»
, in order for various devices to connect to Wi-Fi, if the line "Maximum number of clients" Leaving 0 means that an unlimited number of devices can connect to Dlink Dir-300 NRU, if you specify, for example, the number 5, then the maximum number of devices can connect to the wireless network will be no more than 5. 
In order for all devices, both new and outdated, to connect to a Wi-Fi network without problems, we select network authentication "WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK mixed".
In the PSK encryption key line, enter the password, which will need to be entered to be connected to the Wi-Fi network (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 leaving them by default. 
In the next window, we look at all the settings we specified, if everything is indicated correctly, click "Save" otherwise press "Back" and fix it. 
Now you need to save the settings on the Dlink Dir-300 NRU, for this, press the button from above "Save".
This completes the Wi-FI setup on the Dlink Dir-300 NRU router, close the browser window, turn on Wi-Fi on the device, and find our network. 
Enter your password and enjoy the Internet wirelessly.
After configuring the router, you can start setting up the local network on
Hello! As I said, I work with sis. as an administrator in an Internet cafe, and of course I deal with computer equipment and local networks.
So, recently my Aunt called me and asked to come and configure the D-link wi fi router, which she just bought in the store. I come, I set it up, everything is in order Aunt is happy Surfing the Internet on a netbook by Wi-Fi
But it was not there! The next day it calls and says the phone does not see wi fi and the laptop does not see wi fi! It only finds some kind of neighboring access points and that's it, well, I come, I think let me check the router at home, I take it and take it home, I connect everything okay everything works! I'm in shock \u003d) I come back to Aunt and connect it again does not work ... So I went to see a friend, he also worked ... Then I started rummaging in the settings of the router, but could not find anything.
Then my Uncle comes into the room and says that the security company can block their equipment from below? I think for sure! the problem is in him, you won't see Aunt wifa And I'm leaving ...
But a few days later I got a call from another 1 person with an anthological problem! And for a long time I found a solution to this problem! In this article, I will now explain everything step by step how to solve such a problem!
Nowadays, a Wi-fi router has appeared in almost every apartment, and when you turn on the router in a neighboring apartment, you may lose Wi-fi Internet (everything will work fine through the cable in the computer).
Solution to the problem
I'll show you the example of a wi fi router router D-link DIR 300
The problem was that when configuring the router Wireles channel (Channel) is automatically selected by default (auto), shown in the screenshot:
We need to go to the router (web interface), if you did not change the local IP address when setting up the router, then you have it by default 192.168.0.1 , we write this IP in the browser and go to the Web interface of the router.
We go to the point as in the screenshot and change the channel, set a number different from the one set automatically (I always hit the first time and everything started working).
Now the wi fi network finds any of your devices!
Here is such a simple solution to this problem.
If you have questions, maybe you have a different router firmware and you cannot find this setting, write in the comments, I will help you.
The instructions will show you the basic characteristics and help you configure the D-Link DIR-300 router, correct configuration of even such a budget router will help organize a full-fledged local network at home, and when buying a more powerful router, D-Link DIR-300 will expand the infrastructure, becoming an excellent addition to the new device.
Before configuring D-Link DIR-300, you need to connect the router as follows:
- The provider's cable coming from the dashboard in the entrance is connected to the WAN port, which may be called "INTERNET".
- The laptop is connected to one of the LAN ports of the router. By default, these 4 ports are equivalent if VLAN configuration has not been previously performed on this DIR-300.
Reset
When connecting a used D-Link DIR-300, problems often arise with both inoperative ports and with entering the GUI interface. To correctly configure such a router, you need to start by rolling back to the factory settings: press the RESET button, which is located on the case near the power connector, and hold it for 15 - 20 seconds.
The RESET button is soldered directly to the D-Link DIR-300 printed circuit board, so you must not use excessive force when pressed: this will damage the router!
Restoring factory settings will also help if the user settings of the router are lost: the previously saved D-Link DIR-300 configuration should be loaded only after rolling back to the initial settings.
A detailed description of how to restore the factory configuration is presented in
Computer settings
The computer from which the modem will be configured must receive its local address when the DIR-300 is powered on. To do this, you need to put the PC network card in the automatic configuration receipt mode.
1. Through the connection icon, which is located on the taskbar, you can go to the management of the network settings of the OS.
2. Then, go to the properties of the local connection.
3. In the TCP / IPv4 properties, check the "Automatic" boxes.
Login to the router interface
To enter the D-Link DIR-300 settings, you need to type the network address of the router in Chrome or IE.
If the PC is configured correctly, the main page of the GUI router will load and a request for authorization in the D-Link DIR-300 will appear.
If you have any difficulties in establishing communication between the computer and the router, use.
Internet connection setup
D-Link DIR-300 supports all types of connections made by Russian providers. Before setting up the router, you need to prepare a contract in order to enter the correct credentials.
Setting up the connection on the D-Link 300 can be done in two ways:
1. Automatically using the Click'n'Connect utility. This option works well for IPoE and PPPoE connection types;
2. Manual configuration will be preferable to automatic for connections using VPN server: L2TP and PPTP.
If you need to configure the D-Link DIR-300 router for providers and follow these instructions.
Wi-Fi setup
D-Link DIR-300 is equipped with N150 wireless module with 2 dBi antenna. In a small room, the router provides stable coverage. You can configure WiFi either manually or using the built-in utility or WPS protocol.
- Manual tuning allows you to select the channel, speed mode and transmitter power, allowing you to fine-tune the router for specific operating conditions.
- The WPS protocol is supported by both TVs and mobile gadgets, connecting devices to the D-Link 300 without entering a password.
- Automatic configuration of a secure WiFi network of the router is performed using the built-in "Wizard" D-Link DIR-300:
For more information on how to set up WiFi in the D-Link 300 in different ways, see. It also provides recommendations for improving the coverage and wireless speed of the router.
Routing
Setting up a network has ceased to be the prerogative of geeks and IT specialists: a huge selection of devices has appeared on the market, designed to make the life of an ordinary person better and more comfortable.
A home fleet of network devices can include both "PC + smartphone + iPad" and a media server, game console, TV, IP camera and even a refrigerator, and the router is the heart of the home network. To configure it means to connect these devices to the D-Link DIR-300 physically: by wires or via WiFi. And then ensure interaction between them and the Internet by establishing rules for access and broadcasting at the channel and network levels.
The DIR-300 DHCP server distributes IP addresses to all devices and can operate in both dynamic and static modes. It is necessary to configure static addresses in order to register a route, since the router must associate a permanent local IP address with the MAC address of the specified device for this.
Configuring DHCP parameters in D-Link D-300 is performed on the "Network - LAN" tab. This is where the address pool is set and the MAC / IP bindings are configured.
Configuring routing rules is available on the D-Link DIR-300 interface tab "Additional - Routing".
VLAN configuration
Most of the new revisions of the D-Link DIR-300 modem support VLAN - a technology for dividing a network into logical segments. The configuration is performed on the "Additional - VLAN" tab.
VLAN is used to group devices into target groups, optimize traffic and distribute access.
For example, you can select a child's computer in a separate VLAN of the router and add a WiFi segment so that the child can connect a tablet or phone with his password to the D-Link DIR-300: no matter what device the connection is made from, such a router setting will provide viewing protected content. filter.
The reason for using VLAN can also be the installation of an IPTV set-top box. If the provider delivers tagged traffic, then one of the interfaces of the D-Link DIR-300 router will have to be combined with the WAN port in transparent mode.
Configuring the ports of the D-Link DIR-300 router for this scenario is described in the example of Rostelecom television.
Firewall and NAT
To configure remote access to both your home computer and the network attached storage connected to the DIR-300, you need to understand how the router implements firewall mechanisms.
In a broad sense, remote access refers to any traffic initiated from the outside towards the home network and router. Thus, in order to organize a game or FTP server, providing connection from remote machines, some configuration of the D-Link DIR-300 must be performed.
NAT is a mechanism that translates addresses so that Internet hosts do not see the real structure of the home network on the other side of the router, but process all traffic from local computers, seeing only the external WAN IP address. Thus, NAT in D-Link DIR-300 protects against network attacks, preventing direct access from outside to the internal addresses of devices.
But at the same time, the router will interfere if you need to give friends access to FTP-folders with photos or to the game space. To configure translation rules for NAT in DIR-300, you need to perform port forwarding.
To configure the ports of the router, you need to go to the D-Link DIR-300 settings on the “Virtual Servers” tab.
+
There is another problem: the router receives a gray WAN IP from the provider, which is constantly changing. Without a permanent address, you will not be able to connect a remote computer to the D-Link DIR-300, since the destination address is always different.
To solve this problem, DDNS technology is used, which allows to assign a permanent domain name to a dynamic IP. DDNS service updates WAN IP change information in real time and ensures continuous domain name binding.
Firewall is a set of traffic filtering rules based on criteria such as address, port, protocol, direction. Filtering by the D-Link DIR-300 firewall is performed after decapsulation, routing and NAT processing.
The router allows you to reconfigure the firewall on the "Firewall - IP Filters" tab.
Network expansion
Wi-Fi router D-Link DIR-300 supports client mode. This means that both using a cable and WiFi, you can connect the DIR-300 router to an upstream router in order to expand the existing network.
First you need to enter the settings. In D-Link DIR-300 this function is located on the “WiFi - Client” tab.
The “Enable” checkbox switches the router to the client mode, and the “Broadcast wireless network” option allows you to connect WiFi devices to D-Link DIR-300 as a repeater.
From the list of available networks, you need to select the corresponding SSID of the upstream router and log in, and in the network parameters, the name of the current network, password and encryption method are set.
If the WiFi password is changed on the upstream router, the D-Link DIR-300 client settings will have to be reinstalled. Therefore, in order for the router to work as a client without interruptions, it is recommended to fragment the WiFi network and use one of the segments as a bridge.
Now you need to configure the modem of the D-Link DIR-300 router so that the devices connected to it as a client have access not only to local nodes, but also to the Internet.
On the DIR-300 "Network - WAN" tab, you need to specify the upstream WAN direction via the WiFi-Client interface and set the type of routing used in the local network.
DIR-300 configuration is accompanied by reboot notifications after each configuration change.
