D link dir 615 does not connect. Setting up a PPPoE connection

Appearance router D-link dir 615

The dir 615 router is a popular tool for ensuring the constant availability of the Internet for a laptop, PC, tablets, smartphones and other gadgets via a wi-fi network. This router will great choice for home or small office use. For correct operation, routers must be configured in a certain way. The configuration method depends on what type of connection the providers offer. If you use a connection using a dynamic IP, then there will be no difficulties, since you just need to connect a router to work. In this article, we will tell you how to properly configure it using the router settings panel.

Connecting and entering the interface of the control panel and settings of the router

In order to independently configure the router for work, you need to perform a few simple steps. First, connect the power cable to the router, turn it on. In case the row of lights on the front of the router D does not light up, you need to turn on the power using the button on the rear panel. If you plan to connect and configure the router via cable connection then use network cable supplied with the router dir and connect the router to the PC.

Enter a suitable password, but do not forget to write it down somewhere, for example, in your phone, so that you do not lose access to the menu in the future if you need to new setting router d.

Internet setup on the router

After completing all the previous paragraphs of the instructions, you will come to the main task - how to configure a router for the Internet. First of all, check which connection method is used by your operator. There may be several of them:

IP dynamic type
static type
PPPoE

To do this, contact technical support or go to their web page. If the operator supports the dynamic IP protocol, then for your DIR 615 router, the setting will only consist in administering the wi-fi network. wifi router will start distributing directly from the moment you connect the cable from the operator, and you only need to configure the wi-fi network.

If your provider does not support dynamic IP, then the setup procedure continues.

When the "Provider local resources address" window appears, you can add addresses there, if you do not understand this, or you simply do not need them, then wifi setup continues after pressing the "Next" button. A window will appear where you need to specify a name for the connection and a login with a password. This information is provided by providers. Clicking the "Details" button opens a menu with advanced settings. If you went there out of curiosity regular user, then you will not need extra settings, so you can ignore this tab.

After that, testing of the Internet connection will begin, where you will be prompted to activate the Yandex.DNS filtering system. If it matters, then you can configure the d link dir 615 router, making changes that can later be changed to the current ones.

If the Internet does not appear

When, after completing all the instructions, the router still did not start distributing the Internet, information appears about the nature of the connection “no access to the Internet” or it is impossible to open websites, then check all the settings again, and then configure everything again. You may need to restart your computer.

Common mistakes are:

Incorrect choice of connection type
Incorrect input of certain parameters

We note one nuance - if before using the router you had a high-speed connection to the Internet on your computer, now it is no longer necessary. This connection is now the responsibility of the router, which installs it and distributes the Internet via cable and wi-fi network.

Conclusion

The D-Link DIR 615 device is one of the most common types of routers in Russia. It is characterized by low cost, functionality, stability, and ease of setup. But nevertheless, bringing it into a functional state may require the user to consider a large number of nuances - for example, reflecting the features of setting up a device in a specific modification or the specifics of its connection to the infrastructure of a particular provider. What to look for when setting up this router? In what order can it be done?

Correctly connect the device to the PC

The first step is to correctly connect the device to the computer in order to configure its software options before subsequent use. You need to do the following:

connect all cables supplied with the router in the kit to this device;
connect the power cable to the outlet, Ethernet - to the computer's network card port.

After that, you need to connect the communication cable coming from the provider to the corresponding connector of the router. For example, if the Internet is supplied via Ethernet, then the cable will most likely need to be connected to the WAN port located at the back of the device case.

Let's now consider directly how to configure the D-Link DIR 615 router to use the Internet.

Setting up a router for the Internet: an algorithm of actions

The solution to this problem will consist of several stages:

firmware updates;
settings of the software options of the router;
setting the required parameters in Windows.

Let's study these stages of working with the router in more detail.

Internet Setup: Firmware Update

How to configure the D-Link DIR 615 router so that the firmware is updated correctly? In principle, the solution of this problem does not involve significant difficulties. In many cases, you can do without updating the firmware, but having the latest one helps ensure a more stable operation of the router. Therefore, specialists, one way or another, recommend performing the corresponding operation, especially since it is not too complicated.

In order to update the firmware on the router, you need:

using any other computer that can access the Internet, download the latest firmware on the D-Link website (it is advisable, in order not to make a mistake with the version of the corresponding software, first check with a competent specialist or directly at the company's support service which specific file you need to download) ;
copy the downloaded firmware to the computer to which the custom router is connected.

After that, you need to enter the router management software interface. We note right away that this software shell can be considered as the most reliable branded tool through which you can configure Wi-Fi router D-Link DIR 615 in terms of firmware. As a rule, there is no need to use third-party solutions.

Firmware setup: router management web interface

Getting into the setup interface of the device in question is very simple. You must open any browser available on the computer to which the router is connected. Suitable, for example, Internet Explorer, which is almost always included in Windows by default. Having opened the browser, you need to enter the following numbers in its address bar: 192.168.0.1. In some cases, you will need to enter others, but finding out which ones is very simple: you need to take the router, turn it over, and see which IP address is indicated on the label that is glued to the bottom of the device case. The username and password for accessing the device management interface will also be indicated there. Usually in both cases it is the word admin.

We enter the appropriate login and password on the page that will open after entering the specified IP address in the address bar of the browser or reflected on the label that is pasted on the case.

How to configure the D-Link DIR 615 router further? The interface in question is most often Russian-speaking if the router was purchased in Russia. Therefore, in the window that opens, select the "Manually configure" option. After we go to the "System" tab, then select the "Software Update" option.

The next step is to select the firmware file, which must first be downloaded to the computer. After a few minutes, the router will be updated.

How to configure the D-Link DIR 615 router further? The next step is to configure the software options for the device. Let's study its features.

Configuring the software options of the router

How to configure the D-Link DIR 615 router (the step-by-step instructions we are considering mainly take into account the general aspects of working with the device) in terms of software options, taking into account the specifics of the provision of services by a particular telecom operator?

First of all, it should be noted that there are 2 options for setting the required options in the router's configuration interface - manual, as well as semi-automatic. AT general case the use of the first option is not required, since it involves making adjustments, mainly to those settings that are considered the most unified, the same for a large number of providers.

In addition, it is recommended that these adjustments be made by just qualified specialists who can correctly, taking into account the necessary nuances, configure the D-Link DIR 615 router. Rostelecom and other providers have such people on staff, and you can always contact them through the service support.

But in semi-automatic mode, in most cases, even a user with minimal experience can configure the router. In order to enable this option, you need to enter the router management software interface - again through the browser in the way that we have discussed above.

After downloading it, in the page that opens, select the "Advanced settings" option. Then go to the WAN tab, which is located in the "Network" section. After you need to click on the "Add" button and create a new type of connection. What specific options are in this case will be chosen, depends on the specifics of the provision of services by the provider: they just belong to those that are the least unified. Perhaps at this stage you will need to call the support service of the communication service provider to find out how in this case it will be correct to configure the D-Link DIR 615 router. Beeline, Rostelecom usually provide such advice fairly quickly.

Connection settings: information from the provider

The support service will need to find out which ones should be specified in the corresponding interface:

connection type - in general, this is PPPoE, but there may be others, you need to clarify;
username, password of the subscriber (they, as a rule, are also indicated in the contract for the provision of services);

As for other options, they may not need to be adjusted. You can try to leave those that are set in the default interface and attempt to change them - again, in agreement with the support service, only if the Internet does not work after the router has been configured.

So, we enter the settings, save them, wait, if necessary, to reboot the router. If all the settings are correct, then the Internet should work on the computer to which the router is connected. You can check this by launching the same browser with which you accessed the device management interface and entering the address of a website.

It is possible that the portal will load, but slower than expected at the speed that is reflected in the provider's tariff. In this case, it makes sense to call the support service or competent specialists and clarify how to configure the D-Link DIR 615 router so that it does not cut speed. But in the general case, such problems should not arise, since the software speed limit is set in separate device settings, and if you do not touch them, then the router should not apply speed limits.

The considered device allows to implement wireless transmission data via Wi-Fi. Therefore, the next step in setting it up will be to bring the Wi-Fi modules into operational readiness.

WiFi setup

How to set up a D-Link DIR 615 router? Step-by-step instruction, which we are considering, does not involve any special complex actions, however, it requires attention to a number of important details in order for wireless interfaces to work correctly.

To solve the problem under consideration, it is necessary to reload start page device management interface. Then go to the Wi-Fi section, then select the option " General settings". The next step is to turn on the wireless connection. Then you need to select the "Basic Settings" option in Wi-Fi section, then enter the name of the network - SSID in the interface that opens. It will be displayed later in the list. wireless connections Windows.

Setting up network security

But before connecting to Wi-Fi through Windows, you must also set the network security settings. To do this, you need to return to the Wi-Fi menu, then select the "Security Settings" option. The next step is to select the WPA-PSK2 function opposite the item that sets the network authentication parameters. In addition, you will need to enter the PSK password. After we save the settings.

You can then try connecting to a wireless network through Windows. If a connection to the network cannot be established or the sites will not load at a speed corresponding to the tariff, then you will need to check a number of settings in the operating system.

Windows settings

How to set up a D-Link DIR 615 router on Windows 7 or OS similar in function? You must click on "Start", then - "Control Panel", after - " Network connections". Then you need to right-click on the "Network Connection" icon, then select "Properties".

The next step is to select the "TCP/IP Protocol" option. Then you need to click on "Properties" and indicate that the IP address and DNS address should be obtained automatically. Then save windows settings. After that, the connection should work.

Nuances of setting up a router: the specifics of device modifications

Certainly there is a large number of other options in setting up the device in question. So, many users are thinking about how to configure the D-Link DIR 615 router as a repeater - a device used to provide a wireless signal broadcast over a large area. The capabilities of the software interface for controlling the device in question make it possible to solve this problem very quickly. However, it is still useful to get additional advice from a competent specialist on working with these options, since in repeater mode the device will broadcast a signal from another router, the settings of which can be carried out according to principles that differ significantly from those that characterize the work with the D-Link DIR 615 device .

In many cases, working with the device in question may have features based on the specifics of its particular modification - for example, K1, K2 or E4. How to configure the D-Link 615 E4 router can be considered in the context of completely different approaches to working with the device than in the case of other device modifications.

Configuring the router: the specifics of the provider's infrastructure

In addition, the specifics of the provider's communication infrastructure should also be taken into account. How to configure the D-Link DIR 615 E4 (Beeline) router can be studied by considering the nuances that are completely uncharacteristic for setting the router options in the appropriate modification when it is connected to the infrastructure of Rostelecom or any other provider.

Summary

So, we have considered the main features of solving the problem of setting up a popular D-Link router DIR 615 in Windows when using the branded management interface for this router, as well as software tools operating system. This task usually does not involve difficulties if the user has all the necessary data from the provider.

The most important thing in setting up a router is to set the correct parameters network connection when using an ISP-provided channel, set the Wi-Fi security settings, and also make sure that the options in Windows are optimized. In many cases, it will also be useful to update the firmware of the router - in the order we discussed above.
