D-Link routers are very popular among users. Therefore, instructions for setting up, setting a password, solving some problems, etc. are always relevant. In this article, we will set a password for Wi-Fi on a D-Link router. I will show the whole process using the example of the D-link DIR-615 router model, which we configured in the article. In the instructions for setting up certain models, I always try to write about setting a password for the wireless network. But a general article for all D-Link models would not hurt.
Using these instructions, you can set a password on D-link DIR-300, DIR-615, DIR-320 and other models. Is that there? different versions firmware that differ in interface. Therefore, let's consider several options.
Regarding the issue of installing protection on Wi-Fi network, That It is necessary to set a password. And preferably during the first setup. Believe me, there are many people who want to connect. And this is an extra load on the router, low connection speed, and it’s not safe. It may even be that by connecting to your network, a third party will gain access to your files. Now, if you don’t have a password right now, you can take a look. If your network has been open for a long time, then I am sure that you will see not only your devices there.
Therefore, I advise you to come up with good password, be sure to remember it (or write it down) and protect your home network.
Instructions for setting a password for the Wi-Fi network of a D-Link router
In fact, nothing is difficult. First, go to the router settings. It is advisable to connect to the router via cable. But, if this is not possible, then you can use Wi-Fi (if any problems arise after installation, see solutions at the end of this article).
In the settings go to the tab WiFi - Security Settings (if you have English language menu, then change it to Russian). In the drop down menu Network authentication install WPA2-PSK. In field PSK encryption key enter the password that will be used to connect to your Wi-Fi network. Just come up with a more complex one than my "123456789" :) The password must be at least 8 characters.
In chapter "WPA encryption settings" We don’t change anything, we just press the button Apply.
If your control panel is different from the one I have in the screenshot above, then you can try.
If you don't want to update the software, here's another one: instructions for installing protection on D-link with more old firmware(light interface) :
In settings go to the tab Configure manually.
Then, open the tab WiFi And Security Settings.
Set a password, save the settings, and reboot the router.
And also instructions for firmware with a dark interface:
Save the settings and reboot the router.
What should I do if I can’t connect to Wi-Fi after setting a password?
A very popular problem is when, after setting a password for Wi-Fi, computers, phones, tablets, and other devices do not connect to wireless network. On a computer, this is usually a well-known error. "The network settings saved on this computer do not meet the requirements of this network", or "Windows was unable to connect to...". Mobile devices may simply not connect.
What should be done. You just need to delete the Wi-Fi network on your computer, forget it, and reconnect with the password that you set in the router settings. It's very easy to do. I wrote about this in detail in this article:. If you have Windows 10, then see the instructions.
On mobile devices, you just need to press on the network, hold it for a while, and select Delete from the menu.

From this article you learned how to configure router dir 320 for Rostelecom, as well as its previous model, and these instructions should work in most cases. If you have such a typical problem as the web interface being unavailable via IP (that is, the browser does not open the authorization page after entering the combination 192.168.0.1), then again go to the Internet protocol properties (where we set automatic IP/DNS acquisition) and switch network for working with static data. In the fields that become active, indicate:- 168.0.12;
- leave unchanged (should fill in automatically);
- 168.0.1;
- DNS data from the contract;
- also stated in the contract.
And that's all. Tell us about your experience connecting to the Internet. Any questions in the comments are welcome!
At home or in a small office. Moreover, with its help you can implement both wired connection devices and using twisted pair. In the latter case, a limitation is imposed: there are only 4 ports, which is exactly how many devices can be connected.
Equipment
The D-Link DIR-320 boasts the following equipment:
power supply with non-removable cord and plug;
meter twisted pair, crimped at both ends with appropriate lugs;
driver disk and electronic version router documentation.
user manual;
Appearance and purpose of connection elements, indication and control
Displayed on the front of the device information panel, which consists of the following LED indicators:
Power: Lights up continuously during operation and indicates that the device is plugged in.
Status: at normal operation The router is constantly blinking. If it lights up continuously, an error has occurred and the device must be restarted.
Internet: may simply light continuously (if there is a connection, but no data is being exchanged) or blink (if there is a connection and information is being transferred).
The next 4 ports are wired. When connected, they light up continuously and blink when data is being exchanged. If the port is not used during operation, then the corresponding indicator is disabled.
Last led indicator tied to the printer. It simply lights up continuously when a printing device is connected, and blinks while the document is being output.
The following communication and control elements are located on the back of the device:
antenna wireless connection;
USB port for connecting a printer;
4 LAN ports for creating a wired part of a LAN;
input port for connecting twisted pair cable from the provider;
power supply connection socket;
Reset button to reboot the router.
Selecting a location for installing a network device
At the first stage, we choose the right place for installation. And here, not everything is as simple as it seems at first glance. On the one hand, all wires must be suitable for the installation site of the router, and there must be an outlet nearby for power supply. On the other hand, it is most correct to place the router in the center of the room: this will ensure excellent speed of transmission and reception of information, high level Wi-Fi signal. The router should also not be placed near metal sheets, which can dampen the wireless network signal. Based on the recommendations given earlier, you need to choose the location of the router.
D-Link DIR-320 sequence
Order of this model network device next:
We assemble a temporary circuit for initial setup;
turn on the device and configure it properly;
we analyze the temporary scheme;
install the router in a permanent place;
We assemble a permanent local area network diagram;
turn on the router;
testing the correct settings in the wired network segment;
We check the functionality of the Wi-Fi wireless network.
The router can also be configured at a permanent location, provided that the computer is constantly connected to it by wire. Since this condition cannot always be met, it is recommended to do the setup in 2 stages.
Temporary connection for configuration
The next step in setting up the D-Link DIR-320 router is collecting a temporary diagram for configuring the network device. To do this, install it next to a PC or laptop. We use the complete crimped one to connect the computer and the router. We install one end of it into the port of the PC’s network card, and the other into any of the 4-wire ports of the router (but not the one that is intended for exchanging data with the provider’s equipment). We install the power supply into any nearest free outlet, and the cord from it into the power socket of the router. The temporary diagram is ready.
Set the parameters
Now you need to set software settings D-Link DIR-320. To do this we do the following:
turn on the connected computer and router;
wait for the computer and network device to finish loading;
launch any of the browsers available on the PC;
in the address bar of the browser, type the combination of numbers 192.168.000.001 (this is the network address of our router) and press Enter;
in response, a request will appear with a login and, of course, a password. In the first field, enter admin. The second field is left blank when starting for the first time. If this is not the first launch, then enter the password in the second field, which was previously specified;
in the router configuration interface that opens, select “Connection Wizard”;
then we ask New Password administrator and confirm it if necessary;
At the next stage, you need to set the connection settings to the provider’s network equipment. This data is provided by the Internet service provider and is usually specified in the contract. This includes the connection type (for example, PPPoE or L2TP), login and password to establish the connection (if required), static or dynamic network address;
after all necessary settings click the Connect button. The router will then reboot;
after rebooting the router, go to the setup menu using the previously described method and select the “Wireless Network Setup Wizard” item;
then set the name of the wireless network at your discretion;
The next step is to set the wireless network password. Again, at your own discretion;
save the changes and force reboot the router.
The preliminary setup is completed, you can turn off the computer and network device and disassemble the temporary circuit.
We install the router in a permanent place and connect
Now let's install D-Link router DIR-320 on permanent place, which most optimally corresponds to the previously given conditions. We bring all wire communications here: twisted pair from the provider and other devices that connect to the LAN in this way. We connect the incoming wire from the Internet service provider to the “Internet” port. In the remaining 4 ports we connect the equipment that will use a wired connection. We install the power supply into the outlet, its cord to the router socket. After completely collecting the permanent circuit and checking the correct connections, turn on the router.
Checking the wired LAN segment
After the D-Link DIR-320 NRU router boots up, you can test the wired part of the LAN. To do this, on any computer connected to the router using twisted pair, go to the network settings (Start\Control Panel\Network Connections). Next, create a new connection and save it. We close all windows. Launch any browser and enter any Internet address and press Enter. After this it should open start page. If this does not happen, check the settings that must be configured to automatically obtain a network address.
Testing the wireless part of the local area network
Next you need to check the functionality of the wireless WiFi connections. The D-Link DIR-320 router allows you to transfer information at speeds of up to 54 Mbit/s. The connection order in this case is as follows:
The router must be turned on and in operating mode, and not in the boot phase.
On any mobile device activate the Wi-Fi transmitter.
Go to the “Settings” of the device, select WLAN and click on the “Search” button. Upon completion, a complete list of all available wireless LANs will appear.
We select exactly the network whose name was specified at the setup stage and connect to it. When prompted for a password appears, enter it. At the same time, it is important not to confuse the administrator password for the D-Link DIR-320 and the password for gaining access to the wireless network. It is the second one that needs to be entered, and they must be different.
Subsequently, the color of the Wi-Fi indicator should change: two triangles should appear on it.
Summary
After setting up the D-Link DIR-320 router, this network device will serve you for many years. This operation, as a rule, has to be performed only when starting up the equipment for the first time. In the future, it functions with the specified values, and there should not be any problems with it.
The DIR-320 model from D-Link is a fairly popular device for creating a home wireless network. This router is often recommended by store consultants as one of the most reliable and at the same time inexpensive. In addition, the DIR-320 is used by many providers as a standard router installed by clients when connecting to Internet services.
Typically, the router parameters are adjusted by a specialist invited to install the provider’s cable into the premises. However, there are situations when you have to do it yourself. To ensure that creating a connection does not become an insoluble problem, you need to know how to configure a d link dir 320 router.
Installing the router and preparing the system
The router is connected in a standard way. On the back of the router case you can find a number of connectors, among which we are interested in the WAN and LAN ports.
The WAN connector must be equipped with a cable supplied to the premises by the provider; via connector LAN router connects to the computer using the included patch cord.
Preparing the system involves checking the network card parameters and connection properties using local network:
WAN setup
To create a connection to the Internet, you need to get into the router interface. It is available at 192.168.0.1. (authorization pair – admin/admin).
The interface looks standard for D-Link routers with the latest firmware installed: 
If you set up the D-Link DIR-615 router or other models of budget home routers from D-Link, you should have already understood all the available sections of the interface. If this is your first experience creating an Internet connection, then you will quickly learn to navigate here.
PPPoE connection
In the “Network” section, open the “WAN” item to open a list of available Internet connections.
If you already have a connection, do not delete it immediately. First and create a new connection. After setting up a new connection and saving the configuration, you can delete the old connection.
Leave the remaining parameters unchanged. Click the "Save" button to return to the list of connections. A light should light up in the notification menu at the top - click on it to update the hardware configuration. 
L2TP connection
If you configured the upvel ur 315bn router to connect to Beeline, you probably encountered the need to specify the VPN server address. By the way, this is the only difference between setting up L2TP and PPPoE. Otherwise the procedures are completely identical.
Creating a Wireless Network
Users who are faced with the need to configure Wi-fi ASUS router RT-G32 or any other router knows perfectly well what parameters need to be specified to create a wireless network at home.
When setting up D-Link DIR 320, nothing changes in this sense:
Now you can close the router interface and try to search for the created access point from any device that has a Wi-Fi module.
In order to connect your computer to the Internet, the user needs to configure his router and himself. Only after this will it be possible to easily open various electronic pages of websites and download the necessary information.
Connecting a router
Setting up and connecting the D-LINK DIR-320 router begins with checking the functioning of important network nodes on the router itself and the computer.
To get started, you need to do the following:
If everything is done correctly, then you can start setting up the router itself and the connection.
Login to settings via web management
Before you start setting up D LINK DIR 320, you need to check the operation of network devices.
To do this, you need to perform the following procedure:
These steps are necessary to prepare automatic configuration wifi router d-ink dir 320 and local network.
After setting up a local connection, you need to launch the disk included with the router. It is necessary to create local connection to the Internet and settings of the router itself. This is done according to the prompts that pop up in the installation window.
Particular attention should be paid when choosing the connection technology parameter - pppoe or l2tp. You should choose a connection format in accordance with the parameters specified in the Internet connection agreement.
The next step is configuration via the web interface. To do this, you need to type the IP address 192.168.0.1 in your Internet browser.
The login and password are in the instructions, which the system will prompt you to change after logging in.
After changing the login and password, an interface will appear on the screen in which all connection parameters will be indicated, including all possible settings parameters based on the provider’s technology.
Firmware update
The standard router kit includes a disk with software necessary for the correct operation of the network device, but this does not guarantee the uninterrupted and correct functioning of the D-LINK DIR-320.
How to configure and install latest version required drivers?
Update software for the D-LINK DIR-320 router only passes through home internet pages – 192.168.0.1. This procedure should be carried out immediately after installing the basic software from the disk by following the link “ftp://dlink.ru/pub/Router/DIR-320_NRU/Firmware/”. Download and save the file to your desktop.
Thus, the path to the file is set, on the basis of which the router software will be updated. When carrying out this operation, you cannot turn off and restart the computer before it is completed, otherwise a failure may occur and you will have to start installation and configuration from the very beginning.
Once the update is complete, the DIR-320 will reboot.
Setting up the D-LINK DIR-320 router from providers
The providers themselves often take advantage of the information weakness of users, most of whom are simply afraid to get into the hardware and figure it out on their own. In this regard, it is always possible to call an appropriate specialist to your home to carry out the appropriate work on setting up the Internet.
