D link dir 320 routers wi fi setup. Old horse, does not spoil the furrow. Internet connection and configuration in DHCP mode, specifying the MAC address

The D-Link DIR-320 router is considered one of the most popular. It is not uncommon for a person to buy a D Link router, bring it home, and then call the Internet provider and say: “I bought it and I can't configure it”. Let's consider briefly the technical characteristics and appearance.

Appearance and characteristics

There is little to say about the characteristics, because all routers are extremely similar. The wireless standard is 802.1g / b. On a Wi-Fi router, in addition to LAN ports, there is 1 USB port. The antennas on the modem are removable. To be more precise, it has only one antenna. The device itself supports PPPoE, L2TP, PPTP connection protocols.

On the front of the device there are various indicators, lamps that allow you to monitor the state of certain characteristics:

First comes the standard power light to show if the router is on
Further there are indicators showing the state of the Internet, wireless network "Wi-Fi".
Then there are 4 local port LEDs. They show if there is any connection to the router via a LAN cable, and if so, through which port.
The last USB indicator that shows if the USB port is enabled.

There are various ports and connectors on the back of the machine where you need to insert cords and cables for proper installation:

First comes one antenna, which allows the communication to reach further through the house or apartment.
Then comes one USB connector, it has a green outline.
Then there are 4 blue local ports, they are needed to connect using a LAN cable.
Then one WAN or INTERNET connector for connecting the Internet to our modem.
The penultimate connector is needed to connect the power supply.
The last button is labeled "RESET". It is needed to reset the settings, with its help they reset the password. The button itself is located inside the hole, which protects it from accidental pressing, because after resetting the password, the router has to be re-configured.

Installing the router

Before configuring anything, the modem must be unpacked and installed in a convenient place for us. It is important that there is an outlet nearby, so that the Internet cable can reach there, so that there is a PC nearby.

There is nothing difficult in installation. For proper installation, you just need to connect the electricity to the router, connect the computer and the Internet via cords. An internet cable is provided by an internet company. At this stage, the configuration and installation of D Link DNS to the required location is complete.
