Step-by-step instruction how it is carried out setting up DIR-300. It starts with connecting the router.

Physical connection

  • Turn on D-link DIR-300 into the outlet via the power supply.
  • Install the cable from the Internet provider into the appropriate port of the router.
  • Connect the computer and router with a wire (patch cord, i.e. blue cable).
  • For Wi-Fi, screw on the antenna.
  • In the end, the wires on the back of the router should look something like this:


    Setting up on PC

    On a desktop computer connected via a wire, open Control Panel through Start, go to Network and Internet, then Network and Sharing Center and shared access, then go to Change adapter settings. See if your local network is turned on. Enable if it is disabled.


    From now on, for the network to work, you don’t need to configure anything else on your computer. If any problems arise, perhaps you do not have a driver installed for your network card (or for Wi-Fi), please refer to our article on.

    How to log in to the admin panel

    You no longer need to configure the computer itself; the router stores all Internet settings within itself. But to set up the network you need to visit the router through the web interface. This can only be done via a wire, so you will have to log in either through a desktop PC with a wired connection, or connect a laptop/netbook via a LAN network to the router.

    • Most often, the bottom of the DIR-300 contains the address of the local “site” with settings, as well as a login and password. Typically the address is 192.168.0.1.


    • Enter it into your browser and you will go to the page generated by the router.


    • The default login and password is admin.


    Settings

    Primary setup and path to basic Internet settings:

    • You can immediately change the interface language.


    • And set a password for the DIR-300 router. If you forget it, you will have to reset it, along with all settings, to “default”.


    • To configure the Internet, go to the Advanced settings item below.


    • In the Network block, follow the WAN link.


    • Create a new connection; to do this, click the Add button in the lower right corner.


    Basic network settings in the D-link DIR-300 router:

    • Here you need to select the type of Internet connection. Usually this is PPPoE.
    • You may have to clone the MAC address of your computer's network card into the router using the green arrow button (not always necessary, only if your ISP has a MAC address binding).
    • Enter your Username and Password. This is the Internet access data from your provider (if you don’t know, look for it in your agreement with the provider).
    • In other fields, you can leave everything as default and click the Save button.

    • You will then be redirected to the previous page. The new connection you configured appears there. Check to see if the round check mark for this connection is set to Default Gateway.


    • As a result, the Internet on a computer connected via LAN (i.e. by wire) should work. To check, go to any site:


    • To prevent the settings from being reset, click Save on the router:


    Congratulations, you have configured the Internet in the router and connected your computer to it via LAN.

    Enabling WI-FI and setting up

    To work via WiFi you need not only a laptop with an adapter wireless network, but also setting up a link router. You already know how to log into the router through a computer, do it.

    • In Advanced Settings, find the WiFi section. Check that the green switch is in the on position. Just below, follow the link to Basic Settings.


    • Check the Enable wireless connection checkbox and enter the name of the network. It will be displayed as the Wi-Fi name, which is visible to all devices (even those not yours) within the router's coverage area.


    • Click change.

    • We will be brought back, click Security Settings.

    • Write down a password for Wi-Fi, otherwise anyone who catches it will be able to use it.


    • Save the changes to the Wi-Fi settings on the DIR-300 router.


    How to connect to Wi-Fi

    If you configured the D-link router via a laptop/netbook using a wired connection, then you no longer need it. Disconnect the wire physically, and in Windows turn off “Connect via local network».

    • Now turn on the Wireless network connection (it should be present if all drivers and software are present on Wi-Fi).

    • A window with found WiFi networks will appear in the tray next to the clock. Remember what you called it in the router settings. Select and click Connect.

    • Enter the password you set when setting up Wi-Fi D-link router DIR-300.


    How to forward ports on a router

    What is port forwarding? This is the port binding on external interface DIR-300 router with a device port on the local network. The idea is to give access to the device from the Internet using a specific open port router.

    In practice it might look like this. There is a need to provide access to remote control slave. desktop PC connected to the Internet via the DIR-300 router (or another reason). To do this, a rule is created to redirect the WAN port to the port of the home PC.

    To do this, go to the Advanced section, then to the Port Forwarding setting.
    How to set up:


    • Select a name for the rule (to avoid confusion, it is better to give meaningful names).
    • Select a specific public port number or enter a range of ports). Public is an external port for the Internet. To register only one specific number, indicate it in the form of a starting and ending number.
    • In the test example, we opened port 3389.
    • Enter the IP address of the PC (server) to which the ports are forwarded. It is worth reserving this IP address for a specific computer in the DHCP reservation settings on the router, then it will not change over time. If you don’t want to make backups in the router, you can enter the IP address manually in the settings of the PC’s network card.
    • The test example specified the internal gray IP address 192.168.1.100.
    • Register the port for receiving incoming connections on a PC on the local network.
    • For the test, we specified the default port 3389.
    • Don't forget to check the box on the left to enable the rule.

    Setting up IPTV

    Setting up IPTV on routers: D-Link DIR-300, DIR-400, DIR-615 and DIR-655. Log in to the admin panel (instructions at the beginning of the article), you will see the main settings menu. Click Advanced, then Advanced Network. Specify the parameters:

    • Check Enable Multicast Stream so that IPTV works via cable.
    • Check the box for Wireless Enhance Mode to operate IPTV over Wi-Fi.
    • We save with the “Save Settings” button (at the top of the page).

    Perhaps the interface in your model will differ slightly from the picture shown.


    If the specified menu items are not in the router, it may need to be flashed new firmware supporting IGMP proxy or Multicast Routing. Also note that the interface shown here is English, yours may be Russian.

    How to turn on the router as a repeater

    In order for the DIR-300 to work as a repeater, it needs to be flashed with the DD-WRT program.

    • Version A1 is flashed via TFTP (so it is more difficult to make a repeater out of it).
    • Version B1 can be flashed via the web interface.

    Let's start setting up the repeater:

    • We change the DIR-300 subnet to another one so that it differs from the main source point (for example, a laptop). If the laptop has 192.168.1.1, then here you need to make 192.168.2.1.
    • DHCP can be enabled; to do this, select the IP of the main point (192.168.1.1) as a gateway.
    • In the WAN settings item, go to Automatic-configuration DHCP and activate STP. Save.

    Wi-Fi setup:

    • In Wireless, select Mode – Repeater (or Repeater Bridge, if you have a different firmware version).
    • The other remaining settings must match the source parameters (SSID, channel, connection type).
    • The channel must be set to specific, not Auto. Security settings should also be similar to the source settings.
    • Save.


    After saving the settings, go to Status > Wireless > Site Survey, select the source point. Click the Connect button and save again. As a result, your router should receive the source IP and operate as a repeater.

    Video settings on Rostelecom

    Step-by-step video instructions for setting up D-Link DIR-300 for Rostelecom:

    How to reset and reboot

    To reset the settings to factory defaults, the router must be plugged in. After that, click the Reset button. It is recessed into the body to prevent accidental press, so you will need a toothpick. In some models, to reset you need to press Reset and hold for 15 seconds.


    This will reset absolutely all settings, including the password (by default, like the login, it is admin).

    How to reboot your router:

    • Log in through the web interface and click Reboot.


    • The router will reboot in 30-60 seconds, during which time you will be shown a message stating that it cannot be disconnected from the power supply.


    • After this, the D-link DIR-300 is completely ready to work with the old settings.

    Also, to reboot the router, you can physically disconnect it from the power outlet (preferably for 15-30 seconds).

    Conclusion

    You have learned how to configure the D-link DIR 300 router. And remember, the main ways to fix some problems with the router are to reboot and flash the firmware. Even if you have the most latest version firmware, then re-flashing can get rid of network glitches that have appeared (similarly).

To configure the Dlink DIR-300 D1 wifi router for the largest provider in Russia - Rostelecom, you do not need to call an installer or pay money at all. You can do everything yourself in 15-20 minutes and save 300-500 rubles. To set up, we may only need the login and password that you received after concluding the agreement. And then, if your Rostelecom branch uses the type PPPoE connections. If IPoE (i.e. Dynamic IP) is used, then all you need to do is configure the wireless network. But first things first.
After you have unpacked the router, you need to connect network cables as shown in the picture:

After you have connected your device to your computer, you need to go to the Network and Sharing Center. To do this you need to click right click mouse over the network icon in the form of a monitor on the taskbar and select the appropriate menu item:

You can also access the Network and Sharing Center from the Control Panel by selecting “Network and Internet” >>> “View network descriptions and tasks”:

In the list of components, select “Internet Protocol Version 4” and click on the “Properties” button. The protocol properties window will open, where you need to check the boxes for automatically obtaining an IP address and DNS servers:

Click on “OK” and close the window. The network connection to the router is configured. Now you need to launch a web browser - better Internet Explorer or Google Chrome and in the address bar write the IP address of the router - . Press the Enter button and see the authorization request:

Login for access is admin, default password for access is admin. If the router is reset to factory settings, then you will be required to enter New Password for access.

After you have entered the web configurator, you need to decide how to proceed with setting up the D-Link DIR-300 router. And then if your connection type is “Dynamic IP”, then immediately proceed to setting up a wireless Wi-Fi network. The fact is that by default, D-Link routers are configured for this type of connection.

If your Rostelecom branch uses the PPPoE protocol for connection, then you need to select the menu item Network >>> WAN.

The connection there is - it must be deleted:

To do this, you just need to click on it, in the parameters window that opens, scroll the page to the very bottom - there will be a “Delete” button, which you need to click. After this, we return to the list of WAN connections and click on the “Add” button:

The window for creating a new connection will open:

In the “Main Settings” group, you need to select the “PPPoE” connection type. Please note that in the “Interface” list the value is “Internet” and the “Allow direction - WAN” checkbox is checked.

Below, in the “PPP” group, enter the login and password to connect to Rostelecom. Don't forget to check the "NAT" and " Firewall" Click on the “Apply” button.
Actually, that’s all - the connection has been created, the D-Link DIR-300 router has been configured to connect to the ISP network of the provider and the device should successfully connect to the Rostelecom network.

How to set up WiFi on DIR-300 D1

To set up a wireless Wi-Fi network on the Dlink Deer-300 router, you need to go to the section Wi-Fi >>> Basic settings:

In the “SSID” field you need to enter the name of the wireless network you are creating - this can be any word in English layout. The rest can be left at the default value - “Channel” in the “Auto” mode, and “Wireless mode” in mixed (802.11 B/G/N mixed). For 90% of users they will be optimal. Apply the settings.

Now you need to secure your network, for which we go to the section Security Settings:

The network authentication type must be set to “WPA2-PSK”.

If in the future there are problems with Android tablets and phones, try changing the type to “WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK” or to “WPA-PSK”.
