Useful video with router settings:You can configure the router yourself. By doing this, you will save money, learn how to set up a device, and, perhaps, start your own business connecting users to the Beeline and Rostelecom networks.
Configure correctly home network it is impossible without understanding the features specific device. In this article we will talk about two such devices, namely, setting up D-Link DIR 300 and 320 routers to work in the Rostelecom operator network. The process is not particularly complicated and is easy to understand even for a novice user. Having minimal computer literacy will greatly facilitate the assimilation of information.
To avoid any complications during the upcoming installation of the access point, you need to reset the configuration to the factory state. The easiest way to do this is using a button on the device. It must be pressed and held for 10 seconds. Naturally, the router must be plugged in. After resetting the parameters, the device will reboot, which will also take some time (no more than 10 seconds). 
One more point requires attention - you need to check the status of the Internet protocol (IPv4) parameters in Windows system. To do this, you need to use its interface and take the following actions.
A universal method for all Windows systems
Press the combination “Windows” + “R”. The Run window will open. In the text field, write the command ncpa.cpl and press “Enter”. A window will open network connections, in which you need to perform the steps described below. 
This method works in all Windows versions up to 10.
Pairing PC and router
After the above described manipulations, the computer and router are ready to work together. It is better to do the initial configuration of the equipment using a wired connection. To do this, you can use the Ethernet cable supplied with the router. One of the connectors must be inserted into the LAN port on the rear panel of the device, the other into the network card connector. You also need to disconnect the Rostelecom cable from the WAN (Internet) port on the access point, this will make setting up the d link router easier. 
DIR 300 router configuration for Rostelecom
Set up router d- link dir 300 to work with the Rostelecom provider can be done through the admin panel interface. There are currently two firmware versions (1.3.x and 1.4.x).
Logging into the router control panel
To log into the access point management interface, you will need the device address and authorization data (login/password). If the hardware parameters are set to their default state, you can use the standard values:
- address – 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1;
- login/password pair – admin.
The dir 300 router for Rostelecom can be configured using any Internet browser, for example, Internet Explorer. After launching it, you need to place the cursor in address bar, enter the address value (192.168.1.1) and press enter. The user login page will open. 
Enter the login information in the fields: user – admin, password is the same.
Attention! To increase security, it is better to follow this recommendation.
After changing the data and confirming the changes, the main page of the admin panel will open. Depending on the firmware version, there may be external differences. You can update the firmware in the system -> software update section, after downloading it from the D-Link website.
Rostelecom network parameters for firmware 1.4.x
First, go to the advanced settings section; to do this, click on the corresponding inscription in the lower right corner. On the page that opens, go to the “Network” tab and select the WAN subsection. 
Further settings of the dir 300 router depend on the technology that the provider uses to connect subscribers. In most cases, Rostelecom uses the PPPoE standard.
PPPoE configuration:
- On the WAN page, select the appropriate connection type.
- Specify the connection name (can be anything).
- The peculiarity of the PPPoE standard is that the user is authenticated in the operator’s network using a login/password pair, which can be found on a copy of the contract or from the provider. This data must be entered into the appropriate fields on the WAN page.
